Speaking of pitchers keeping healthy with good mechanics, Im wondering if it’s just me or do Dustin May’s mechanics not look messed up? Talk about injuries my guy had had some which I brought up in a chat. I was immediately attacked because I said he will never stay healthy because his mechanics are chaotic. They look weird to me anyways? Am I wrong? Am I the only one who sees that?

Shohei Ohtani will be the unanimously NL MVP, and it’s not even close. There is absolutely no case for Lindor to be MVP, it’s stupidity absurd and absurdity stupid. Lindor is batting .271 and has an OPS of .836 when was the last time someone won the MVP with an OPS that low? He is literally tailing The FACE OF BASEBALL in every offensive category, and it’s not even close. As of 9-19-2024, Lindor is tailing Ohtani 29 RBI and it might even be wilder by the last game.

Mookie Bett missed 3 months and two starting pitchers (Glasnow and Yamamoto) also missed two months, Kershaw was back and then out again. Miller and Buehler can’t find the strike zone, and Freeman is there in body but his mind and spirit are with his son, Ohtani pretty much carried the Dodgers, and with some help from Teo, the Dodgers probably wouldn’t be winning the division if not for Ohtani’s offensive prowess (51 home runs, 123 Run and 120 RBI). The Dodgers without Ohtani would be fighting for a Wild Card spot right now and San Deigo Padres would be winning the division. Ohtani is MORE Valuable to the Dodgers than (or as much) to Lindor’s Mets.

DH can’t win MVP? and yet a few pitchers have won MVP in the past, and none of these guys come close to Ohtani offensive prowess. If pitcher can win MVP so can a DH. This is the media baiting and selling the news. After today and Ohtani 51-51, there is NO CASE for Lindor to be the NL MVP.

I would dare say Shohei Ohtani is the Major League MVP.

The last pitcher to win the NL MVP was Clayton Kershaw in 2014, and in the American League was Justin Verlander in 2011.

Kershaw was 21-3 with an ERA 1.77.
Verlander was 24-5 with an ERA 2.40.

I am willing to bet Kershaw and J. Verlander never hit a home run or stole a base in their MVP year. While pitchers are mainly a defensive position offensively they don’t do much and yet two have won MVP in the last 14 years, so this absurd argument a DH CAN NOT be the MVP is kinda stupid in itself.

I bet you didn’t sleep last night. I give props to the Marlins for challenging and daring shohei instead of cowering away. They paid for it big time, but they’ve also gained a lot of respect from millions of fans.
