MLB 2020 Offseason |OT| - (K)BO Knows

He's doing well but he doesn't match up with Yelich or bellinger
He's quite a bit behind Yelich in batting (over 10 home runs 20 stolen bases 30 walks though Marte has more triples) He will likely pass Yelich in RBIs thanks to the injury and has a solid batting average (which is still currently a little behind Yelich) And keep in mind by most data Yelich is fairly behind Bellinger.
from baseball reference
Marte WAR = 6.5 (6.0 offense, 1 defense weighted somehow to get to 6.5 :P)
Yelich WAR = 7.1 (7.3 offense, -.6 defense)
and then there is Bellinger
Bellinger WAR = 8.2 (6.1 offense, 1.6 defense weighted somehow to get to 8.2)
So if you have voters that favor defense Bellinger is winning that over Marte and if you have voters who favor offense Yelich will win that over Marte, and if you have people who look at both they will be picking Bellinger over Marte.
Again he's having a great season, but I don't think there is enough of the season left for him to be in serious contention for the MVP unless he launches like 20 home runs over the last 19 games.
it's a huge blow no doubt. But it is just as likely that it kicks the brewers into high gear as it is that it breaks their spirits. After all they don't want Yelich to feel like him getting hurt cost them the season.
plus while Yelich is one of the best in baseball, it's still a team effort. Mike Trout can tell you quite well one guy doesn't win it all.
Went ahead and looked, and...155 days until Brewers pitchers and catchers report.
Fuck all of this.
Fuck all of this.
Damm sucks for Yelich. I was hoping the MVP race would come down to wire and HR's being the deciding factor.
Also I hate that the Dodgers are celebrating.
You have nothing to celebrate. You've been there for the past 7 years. You've lost the WS twice in a row. They should only celebrate when they win the pennant and the WS. Nothing else.

I keep getting disappointed by this team year after year. These last two were hard. Now it's WS or bust. I dont think i can take another year of watching another team celebrate a WS win on our home turf.
Edit: I'm still glad we made the playoffs but I want the WS. :P

I think the Braves match up pretty well. A couple of the wild card contenders can be problematic.
Any team that makes the playoffs has a good chance of beating them (not saying they aren't good but that playoffs are really a crap shoot). Any team has a chance of taking 3 out of 5.
though my money would be on the nats taking them out in the first round in 4 games :P
As good as the Nats have looked, let's not forget they still have yet to have won a playoff series.
5 game lead
magic # 13
18 games left
13 games left with KC/Det/Chi. should win 9+
3 w/ Cle
not worried about winning the division, it would take a collapse against the AL Central.
more worried about playoff results with half the team either injured, day to day, or suspended for PEDs and everyone forgetting how to hit HRs the last couple weeks.
last night our outfield was:
LF-backup infielder,
CF-sept callup,
RF- was our left fielder
Starting CF on 60 day DL (buxton), starting RF who usually shifts to center injured d2d (Kepler), 3rd CF/4th outfielder injured d2d Cave), 5th outfielder/utility man has had a sideache for 3 weeks (Marwin)
1B was our 3rd catcher and 3B was a backup SS. it's getting dicey out there!
The AL Wild Card Race is crazy, I hope the As and Indians tie so they can play it out on the field and then come to Tampa
Time to get new balls
Tampa has a tougher end to the season than any of the other teams. Don't be surprised if they start to fall. I feel like the A's should be able to take home field for the WC
Im just glad this is the last or second to last Rays throw out no starter bullpen day hopefully
I'm just hoping my Indians can clutch up. Some not-awful teams still on the schedule.
Time to sweep the Twinkies.
That would be amazing if the three teams got in and the twins were out on the streets.
their schedule is nothing but cupcakes after the Indians. 7 games with the Royals and 3 with the Tigers.
If they don't end 9-1 or so I'd be shocked.
And with the Cubs loss & the Brewers win, they're now officially tied with each other for the 2nd Wild Card spot in the National League.

To all of the Keeper League members in the thread - since no one reads the boards on yahoo, i'm pasting this here as well as in the discord re: Yelich being dropped
Game 163 part 2 here we go.
Also the Cardinals division lead quietly dropped to just 4 games
No, I don't think it will get that far. The Crew will surpass them, even with the loss of Yelich (sorry to hear that Brewers fans, he's a beast).
I'm a huge Cubs fan, but they just have faltered all season. Ever year since winning the WS they have regressed, this year worse than the others. Yes, they've been beset by injuries, but that's just an excuse. All teams need to deal with injuries and they need to overcome them.
Besides, the holes in this team are so big a tank could drive through them. Situational hitting, all facets of pitching (starting, middle and late relief), feast or famine offense, their defense has been much more sloppy this year.
But with all those issues, they have so much talent on this team where they been able to play well enough to be just above average. However, 'just above average' will not get you to the playoffs, or at the very best, a quick exit. Another thing they are really missing this year is the hunger. I haven't seen it since 2016. I anticipate there being a lot of changes for next season (first one Maddon going), but I don't see any game 163 this year for the Cubs. I feel they are just going to fade away before then.
The Yankees needed to sacrifice there DH and a SP to get Stanton and Sevy back
I mean... if you have been paying attention you have to have some sort of respect for what the yankees have been able to do this season. Has their MLB injured list topped 50 (repeats allowed)? pretty sure it has lol.
