September 20, 20169 yr God damnit, Porcello went CG, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K and got his 21st win. Sale is going to get f***ed by that dude.
September 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) I agree with you. Pitching in pressureless meaningless games just isn't important and I'm not giving the Cy Young or MVP to someone who racked up the stats on a garbage team (unless they are that much better than the competition). So Trout shouldn't be the MVP?
September 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 05:17 AM) So Trout shouldn't be the MVP? Well, I think he was head and shoulders better then the other contenders, so in that case, I think he passed the test.
September 22, 20169 yr http://meadowparty.com/blog/2016/09/22/klawchat-92216/ buck farmer: who would you pick for AL Cy Young? Klaw: Kluber or Sale.
September 27, 20169 yr With Sale struggling in his last start and Kluber coming out of his last one with an injury. I think it's safe to say that Porcello is now actually the front runner with Kluber and Sale closely behind. The voters have already voted, so any performances after the fact will be irrelevant. All 3 will finish the season with around 5 fWAR. So I don't think it'll be a travesty if any one wins over the other. Porcello's string of hot starts in September has put him within the margin of error in my opinion. Before that stretch, I thought he'd be an afterthought.

September 27, 20169 yr That doesn't make sense at all. If Sale rattles off 2 complete game shutouts, the award would likely be his. So I don't get how they could've voted Edited September 27, 20169 yr by Jose Abreu
September 28, 20169 yr Britton or Porcello would truly complete the worst cy young race of all time. What a joke.
September 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 27, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) They vote a week before the season ends? I thought they voted a week before the season ends for MVP and other awards. At least they used to. Maybe they changed it recently.
September 28, 20169 yr Sale and Q had it there for the taking. Just a few bad starts, but that can be on them.
September 28, 20169 yr Go out there and throw a CG shutout on Sunday. Unfortunately some guys in the running's seasons still continue past that day.
September 28, 20169 yr Hopefully Sale can finish 5th. That's about as high as he can finish unless Britton blows a couple saves.
September 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) Hopefully Sale can finish 5th. That's about as high as he can finish unless Britton blows a couple saves. Weird thing to hope for.
September 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) Weird thing to hope for. Historically, top-5 Cy's and MVPs are noted as an accomplishment.
September 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) Historically, top-5 Cy's and MVPs are noted as an accomplishment. Why not just hope that he wins it? Edited September 28, 20169 yr by soxfan2014
September 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Why not just hope he wins it? If he was close, I would. Britton, Kluber, Porcello, and Verlander are ahead. Edited September 28, 20169 yr by flavum
September 28, 20169 yr That's crazy. In a non novel world where sports writers take the opportunity of a non obvious year to choose an idiotic pick, it would probably be 1. Kluber 2. Sale 3. Verlander 4. Porcello 5. Tanaka
September 28, 20169 yr As long as relievers are eligible, Britton has had a season that is special where the rest of the starters have been good, not great. I think Britton deserves it. Maybe Sale gets 2nd. Let's talk Sunday night.
