OT- World Series

[zyron]

You're all over the place in this thread. Altuve is going to be the MVP and is making big plays in the World Series and you're arguing about Joey Votto.

No, you said Altuve is the best player in baseball. Trout is better, Harper is better, Votto was better this year, his teammate Carlos Correa is better, Machado is better.

He might win the MVP if Judge doesn't. But he isn't the best player is baseball, not by a longshot.

 

[zyron]

Verlander is the reason the Yankees aren't playing right now

Exactly.

 

[Scoe]

Exactly.

Yeah him to

Trout is probably better overall yes, Altuve had a better season though. But, how are Harper, Votto, and Correa better? Machado isnt even in the conversation by the way

 

[Scoe]

Jansen is afraid of Springer, he wants nothing to do with him.

 

[Scoe]

Wow Astros got the Mike Dantoni offense 7 seconds or less.

 

[superjohn]

Jansen is afraid of Springer, he wants nothing to do with him.

Springer is totally locked in, he's having a hell of a series.

 

[NielsisGood]

Is getting a hit not the goal every time a batter goes to the plate? Seems like it, and Altuve was the best at that.

I reckon getting on base is the goal.

 

[zyron]

Trout is probably better overall yes, Altuve had a better season though.

Trout is the best player in baseball in 50 years and you say he is "probably better overall". Trout is Mickey Mantle without the injuries. Even comparing them is an insult.

You didn't answer my question.

Oh yeah for sure

I don't have time to answer dumb questions. Altuve had a great year, he is not the best player in baseball

 

[Northbound]

Come on man, Trout is the best player in baseball - just look at baseball reference. Trout has been consistently great from the very beginning, Altuve has had a couple of real good years, but that's not what he's done for his career.

Trout is a generational talent.

Solid response

 

[zyron]

Solid response

Oh, like yours? Altuve has the most hits, he is the best. I am not wasting my time with that.

mmmmmkay

Oh come now - if you're posting on the BY, you've got time to answer dumb questions.

Shame on MLB for changing the balls for the World Series. Just saw some stats on sliders. Couple of the pitchers (Darvish is one) had their slider completely neutered by the slick balls they're using, resulting in statistically, abnormally ineffective pitching for them. If it's a gimmick to increase runs, big shame.

This guy is a treat.

They're both using the same ball. Too bad for Darvish. Ken Giles says, "Hold my beer."

Anyway, all the more reason for Morton to start game 7 if it comes to that. He doesn't throw one, although he did suggest the slicker ball might cause him to kill someone when he tries to run his 2-seamer inside to right hand hitters.

Altuve is the guy you want up in any spot and every spot....

He has shown the world that there is a new sheriff in Baseball, kid is incredible....

Give me Altuve for the next 5 years over those guys and I will be just fine, not sure what your watching....

Altuve had a great year and he will win and deserves the MVP. Trout is the best player in baseball.

 

[MSGSeven]

Altuve had a great year and he will win and deserves the MVP. Trout is the best player in baseball.

Judge had more HR, RBI, Runs, higher OBP and a monster September. Altuve is a great player and had a great year but with those stats Judge is MVP in my book.

 

[MadDogRevival]

They're both using the same ball.

Yeah but, they didn't both base their rosters, season, and strategy on the same set of player talents. It's just fundamentally wrong to change the game in the post season after teams have gotten to where they are based on the regular season. Seems like a cheap trick meant to drum up interest.

Again, Ken Giles. Slider is all he's got. So if LAD loses a starter, HOU loses their closer. Verlander said both HRs hit off him were sliders. He manages to work around that.

This is a very entertaining WS, btw. So if that's what MLB was trying to do, it's working for me.
