This award extremely does not matter but Snitker over Roberts is a huge snub. The Braves roster was stacked while the Dodgers went into the year shallow, lost an entire starting rotation, and still won 100 games Fangraphs projected and actual win totals: MIL - 86 > 92 (+6) MIA - 80 > 84 (+4) ATL - 93 > 104 (+11) LA - 88 > 100 (+12) Edit: Miami maybe the bigger snub but it is tradition to give MotY to the manager who succeeds Don Mattingly https://twitter.com/mlb/status/1721669018812088558 bawfuls fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Nov 7, 2023 |

Can someone explain to me how Triston Casas is a finalist for rookie of the year beyond playing in Boston? He's 14th among AL rookie position players in fWAR (and 4 AL rookie pitchers with higher fWAR, too). He's got garbage defense, but even if you wanted to look at it on a purely offensive metric he's 5th among qualified AL rookies in wRC+. I don't pay for baseball-reference, but he only seems to fair marginally better seeing as only 4 players above him on the fangraphs list drop down and one ties him. So maybe tied for 9th in bWAR.

bawfuls posted:*offer not valid if you are Dave Roberts I feel like the Dodgers were still the preseason favorites (even if I thought they shouldn't be) and then only when they were kind of scuffling for months that people started to take the D-backs seriously. Although I guess none of that invalidates Roberts' claim to the award.

Those '90s baseball movies aimed at kids had some weirdly packed casts. Little Big League: Dennis Farina, Jason Robards, Timothy Busfield, plus a gently caress-ton of MLB player cameos. Rookie of the Year: Daniel Stern, John Candy, Gary Busey, Dan Hedaya, Bruce Altman. The Sandlot: Denis Leary, James Earl Jones, Art Lafleur, Karen Allen.

Don't forget the insanity around signing a catcher to a 5 year deal, then like 6 weeks into it deciding to bench him and talk about making him an outfielder before admitting maybe that was pretty dumb and walking it all the way back. It may only be one year but there's a lot of reason to suspect current Cardinals management has no idea what the hell they are doing.

The organization still does some things well but the actual major league team has a tiny and bad coaching staff and a front office hamstrung by an owner who doesn’t want to push it with spending even though they’re hitting like…at worst top five in attendance. Mozeliak is saying all the right things about changing their process towards targeting pitching but if the owner won’t pony up then it doesn’t matter

I wasn't paying any attention to baseball, and now I see the Cubs fired Ross and hired Counsell, and they picked up the option on Hendricks. I like Ross as a guy, but definitely excited to have a real experienced manager for a change. I can only assume the Cubs plan to spend spend spend the next couple of years if they spent that much money on a coach.
