Is Kris Bryant going to win MVP?

[TruffleShuffle]

kris bryant is 24 years old and in the last 4 years has won college baseball player of the year, minor league baseball player of the year, major league rookie of the year, won a world series title, and will soon be named league mvp. not bad.

The logical progression is he wins World Series MVP next year, then.

He was probably Zobrist's competition this year

Rizzo probably should have gotten it, but it's awesome as horsefeathers that we can have a legit argument about a bunch of different CUBS who were deserving

Given that none of the good hitters really made stand out defensive plays, Rizzo was the best choice as a hitter (.484 OBP, more BBs than Ks). But Zobrist is an ok choice. Bryant would have been fine, though his 2 errors didn't help him.

 

Arrieta was probably the best choice actually: 11.1 IP, 2.38 ERA, .97 WHIP (just 5 hits), 15 K (that's 11.9 k/9), and 2 W (not that it matters, but MLB and old timers like that).

 

If terms of key moments: Obviously Lester pitched great in games 5 and 7, but he stumbled badly in Game 1. Arrieta won two must-win games on the road. Zobrist had the key go-ahead hit in Game 7, but Montero actually had the winning RBI.

It's almost as if this whole team is horsefeathering good

Cover your ears hockey haters.

 

 

Reminds me of Toews racking up accolades at a young age. ROY, Conn Smythe, Stanley cup, gold medal, top forward in Olympics

[David]

except toews is so boring and dull that bryant might as well be rizzo next to him

[Sammy Sofa]

What the horsefeathers is a toews. Stop headbutting your keyboard.

[UMFan83]

I said cover your ears dorks.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

probably should have said eyes

Toews is the Kris Bryant of hockey except that he's also Anthony Rizzo and Kyle Hendricks. My favorite line about Toews: Jonathon Toews wins at walking down the street". Same can now be said for Bryant.

Kris Bryant is a very dull human, but I'm fine with that.

I'm starting to have the feeling that Kris Bryant is good at playing baseball

LOL Bryant got to 15.0 career fWAR.
