On another note, Rhode Island currently boasts the 2nd highest unemployment rate in the US, behind Georgia. I have no doubt that Schilling's RI-backed company that failed is still having an effect on this state.

Friend of mine texted me it this morning, but used OBP. Probably doesn't appeal to the masses enough.

Someone on GWB posted "All this time we were worried about how he'd deal with the fastball, but it turned out to be the curve he couldn't handle.

Kluber won the Cy Young over Felix. Didn't realize he had a higher WAR than Felix. On paper Felix numbers look much better, but Kluber outperformed him by 1.1 fWAR. Wonder if more voters are looking to WAR to help gauge their decisions now. Felix had the lowest ERA and WHIP for an AL pitcher since Pedro in 2000. And he had the stretch of 16 or 17 games or whatever where he went 7 innings and gave up 2 or fewer runs. He had maybe the best season of his career, but Kluber got him beat in the WAR department which is pretty damn impressive.

It's BWAA.

 

Sort by wins, ERA is the tie breaker.

Wow, I have no idea who Kluber is. feel like Derwood.

 

The Cubs being awful, living in AL cities the last four years and MLB Extra Innings have really broadened my baseball horizons. However, each game I watch I am amazed at how many players I have never heard of. I think it's because of the large youth movement in baseball, and most national sports/baseball shows are unwatchable.
