Yelich is just so hawt right now. He has to be in the top 5 in NL MVP. I mean, it seems like a sure bet that Nolan will win it, but Yelich is proving himself to be a top tier player for years to come.

He's not even close to top five. He hits too many ground balls.

He just leaves me wanting more. Wish he elevated the ball more.

Arenado has a road split OPS 300 points lower. That's partially a product of the park factor. Still, there's only a marginal difference in their OPS, Yelich has a marginal advantage in BA, is a better base-runner, and the team has a little better record. The RBI and R ads for each reflect their spots in the order. Arenado is further boosted from playing in Colorado so getting more rbi opportunities. Don't know all the candidates to know if Yelich should win but if Arenado is his best competition then Yelich should be in good shape if people are looking at things objectively.

Can't stand Kraz behind the plate but at least he's hitting I guess.

It's lookin like javi baez is the leader.. Yelich is so under the radar. Some of the folks on mlb network that love the analytics have been harping on cain for mvp with no mention to yelich.

Kratz with crafty tag, old man move.

mkegb · Post #17 » by **mkegb** » Sat Sep 1, 2018 12:32 am

How do the Ump and the Mationals miss Kratz holding the ball in the other hand? Kratz even shows the ball in his bare hand.

raysbookclub · Post #18 » by **raysbookclub** » Sat Sep 1, 2018 12:53 am

Nice color work by Rock, showing how Kratz fake called for a high fastball with his glove, in case the runner on 2nd is picking that up and tipping the batter, when the actual call was a low breaking pitch. More craftiness.
