Toronto Blue Jays vs. Kansas City Royals, Aug 1-3

[Boogie!]

As predicted. Was hoping for the jinx but you can never go wrong predicting that either way

[Randle McMurphy]

Varsho mvp now hitting under 200.

He is still one of the best players in the game. Ignore his atrocious batting average and On Base. He is still Mike Trout 2.0

Insanity. It’s Delusional… a guy hitting sub 200 can never ever be considered an mvp.

Still more valuable than the 500M man

[Randle McMurphy]

We love giving away outs like it’s the pre-Moneyball era

what a beautiful sacrifice, team ball ftw!!!

"No bunts. A bunt is an out. No bunting whatsoever. And if someone bunts on us, just pick it up and throw it to first, don't try to be a hero and throw it to second. Let them make mistakes. And when your enemies are making mistakes, don't interrupt them" -

That’s Rj same pitch that got called strike 3 on Guerrero

Can never take anything you say seriously with this take. 198 avg is trash.

True, we sacrificed an out from Straw otherwise he would have likely hit a HR.

Analytics are great, using them to plan out and manage baseball games devoid of all in-game context is decidedly not

Straw has the 2 biggest hits of the week so far

After the near meltdown bassitt ends up having a good outing

Exactly why someone can’t claim someone is an mvp based on analytics.

Varland the setup man

So Mike Trout wasn't the real MVP over Miguel Cabrera now?

You’re really gonna use trout vs Cabrera as a means to defend varsho? Give it up.

You said you can't claim someone as MVP based on analytics, seems like a relevant example of the failings of that idea

Can't play defense, unsustainable hot streak

But we can dream

Varsho deflating
