Pitching WAR is a horrible stat though so that isn't a very good example, you can toss it right out the window. Especially fangraphs which is mostly based off of FIP which is the worst of the component ERA stats. But pitchers face more PA than hitters make so it makes total sense that they would technically be more valuable. Especially that season by Sabathia where he seemed to pitch every other game at the end. I feel like Yelich is leading a surging team into the playoffs while Sabathia dragged a collapsing team into the playoffs.

It is encouraging that all of the mlb channel guys say it is Yelich now. They sort of represent the "common man's" thoughts on things.

Down 6 runs in the 8th the Cub's fans still manage to cheer like they won the game on a flyball that doesn't even reach the warning track. -
That’s me. They weren’t when I said it. They are now! Sure but you said it when the Brewers had the 3rd best record in the NL in the 2nd half so it was never really true.

I don't think you should just use a single stat, you need to view it through your own lens. Pretty much all stats still have room for interpretation. For my personal taste anything you add a + to the end of a stat you are usually getting into muddy waters. In the specific example of wRC+ I think park factors are so flawed that the stat loses any meaning.

I believe the proper way to define MVP is basically the player who leads the league in WAR. Now WAR itself is an approximation. In reality every person should sort of be creating their own WAR that fits how they view the game in their own head. For hitters this isn't too difficult but the actual WAR stat does a decent job of assigning value. I tend to value fielding a bit less than real WAR does so I don't count it quite as much. So for me I'd fudge the best defensive players WAR down a little bit. I think pitching WAR the actual stat is downright awful so I have to go through a much larger internal adjustment for my personal pitching WAR. I mostly care about things like K% vs BB% and not things like ERA which I feel is a flawed stat and mostly a team stat. Some people really heavily favor context so maybe they give Yelich bonus points for being so good down the stretch etc. The overall premise stands though, you should be able to create a player value in your head and the player with the most value should be MVP. It has nothing to do with how much the team needed you etc, none of that has anything to do with an individual stat. I mean with that reasoning Betts shouldn't be an MVP because the Red Sox could have won the division without him, that just seems flawed.

I'll take it but well, that was a ball.
-
That replay doesn't show him being hit. Doesn't mean it will be overturned though.

MVP MVP MVP MVP

Sounds like Jeffress may be hurt so it is likely we see Knebel.
-
Typical Cardinals move to try to make the other team uncomfortable. Same reason LaRussa barked at umpires every time we threw a normal inside pitch in the last playoff series vs them, it got Yost to stop calling inside pitches.
-
Fastest he's been on the gun since coming to the Brewers. I wonder if St. Louis has a quick gun, though? Hicks is fast, but I don't know about 102 fast. Hicks is the highest average fastball in the game so he definitely is 102 fast. I think he can touch 105. It is so odd that he doesn't get more K's with the stuff though.
-
Arcia stopped because the ump told him the play was over, not really his fault.
-
Good job Kratz, I knew you could do it.
-
Martinez is one of the worst fielders in the game right now, not surprised that he screwed that up so badly. Nobody is more of a sure thing in a big spot than Kratz, we got this guys.
-
Recent history proves you are wrong here though. Market size is not winning or losing this MVP. It is Baez being the most exciting player in baseball vs Yelich being the hottest player in baseball.
-
Being old school is cool, nothing wrong with that. You also are 100% clearly with no chance for a mistake wrong, that is a bit more of an issue here. It takes at minimum 30 K's to equal 1 additional non K out. So 150 K in a season has almost no chance to ever sway an MVP argument that makes any sort of sense. It could plausibly be a tie breaker but that is it.
-
The most discussed play in BF.net history was allowing Peralta to face Carpenter in the 3rd Which is kind of weird since we didn't have enough available lefties to face him every AB of the game, he was going to see a righty for one of them.
-
My guess is Jennings goes until someone gets on base. Edit or not~.
-
It is simple math. When losing a game eliminates you it is must win. Losing a game to the Cardinals in this next series stinks, but it doesn't make it must win. If we lose 3 to the Cardinals and then win 3 against Detroit and they win 3 against us and then lose 3 to the Cubs it is absolutely no different than us sweeping the Cardinals and then losing 3 to Destroit and them losing 3 to us and sweeping the Cubs. No individual game is more important than any other, other than direct games against each other which sort of count double.
-
It probably seems odd but Ben Zobrist.
-
I don't feel it really needs a definition. The only people really nitpicking the definition just don't want to give the award to a player on a losing team even though they know he is more valuable than other players. It is a flawed justification based on nothing. No different than passing on DeGrom this year because his win total is too low. Same sort of logic that has voters not voting Ripken in on the first ballot because someone else they loved didn't get 100% of the vote on first ballot. Wins are a team stat, they should have nothing at all to do with an individual award. The number of wins a player or team has doesn't have anything to do with MVP or CY.
-
So using this logic if a team wins 120 games and wins their division by 50 games does it also disqualify all of their players from being MVP. I mean that team was winning their division regardless of any single player on the team. Same completely flawed logic at play in this case?

2018 Standings and Playoff Race Discussion
Ennder replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Its important to note that we don't have to catch the Cubs. We just have to stay close enough that they play for real against the Cardinals. If we still are close enough that we can win the division in the final 3 games it means the Cubs have to play all out in that series against the Cardinals which could help us secure the wild card or home field for the wild card. -
109 wRC+ since the all star game. Braun has not been a problem for the 2nd half of the season.
