Houston Astros’ Kyle Tucker Injury News, Shohei Ohtani (大谷翔平) vs Francisco Lindor & More
Here’s my case for Ohtani as MVP that hasn’t been brought up: look how much worse the Angels got without him. They used to be mediocre, now they’re ABYSMAL. You kept hypothesizing how bad the Angels would’ve been if Ohtani wasn’t working his butt off to play for them everyday and now we’re seeing how right you were all along. Not only that, the Dodgers were able to stay atop the NL West through injuries to Mookie, Muncy, Glasnow, Yamamoto, Freddie’s Sons illness, and slumps in the offensive line up largely thanks to just his presence in the line up and on the bases. There’s no discussion to be had here. He’s the MVP
I would argue you may not know baseball making a dh mvp. I agree it’s harder to hit homeruns but there’s 2 sides to baseball not just one. So if you say a dh should get mvp idc about the numbers you don’t value fielding even if you say you do.
Time to cut Verlander he old and is sucking
It not like most MLb player can do what sohei can do..
Acuna Jr got MVP with 40-70.
Is Ohtani’s expected 50+/50+ a better achievement, even for a DH?. I think so. He should get the 2024 MVP
Astros also got rid of Abreau at that same time
Dominguez call up =more money sooner,,ashamed , because he is a superstar
