We can dance if we want to,
we can leave Marle behind.
'Cause your fiends don't dance,
and if they don't dance,
they'll get a Robo Fist of mine.


I'm sad Kyle didn't get the Cy Young, but what's really throwing me is how incredibly wide the gap was between Scherzer and everyone else.

If we pre-emptively give Shohei Otani his Cy Young and Silver Slugger will he hurry up and come sign with the Cubs.

Verlander lost the Cy Young because two voters left him off their ballots entirely.

Those people should be waterboarded. Porcello? What a fuckin joke.

Wo Scherzer completely blew it out, Hendricks didn't even get second, either. Yeah Scherzer deserved to win, but for real gently caress the BBWAA.

Also :lol: at Verlander getting robbed. Can we please just get rid of the pitcher wins stat already?

Yes, but if I recall correctly, that whole bullpen was in the habit of coughing up leads in profoundly idiotic ways all season long.

I can see voting for Porcello over Verlander because it's really close, but not putting Verlander on at all just makes no sense unless they're voting Porcello/Happ/Kluber entirely based on ~winz~

They would still have 2 extra spots on the ballot, and it's not like Verlander had a lovely record too. The 2 people who left him off knew exactly what they were doing.
