Betts looks like runaway MVP

[rottiesworld]

He is doing good but look at the crap box park he play's in. I'm sure there are other player's that would be hitting well playing in that crap park. I wonder what Trout would do hitting there?

Trout has yet to hit a HR in Boston

Well prepare to hang, draw, and quarter just about every MVP voter.

I love Trout but he is going to get piled on with more second place love than Jim Kelly.

Betts could be playing for the Padres and he would still be the favorite right now.

At least this year he’s actually getting beat by someone.  Lots of baseball left.

If Trout can go on a terror and help get the team back into contention ... he’ll be hard to beat.

Trout is baseball's Lebron. Everyone knows he's the best player in the league, but he'll lose the MVP most years to merely solid players who have one-off great years.

it's tear.  not terror.  and if we make the playoffs, it will be historic.

No it’s terror for me  ... 

I said get back into contention ... don’t read something that isn’t there

while normally I would agree . . . 

Betts away from Fenway:

.324 BA

.413/.626/1.039

14 HR (vs 9 at home)

2001 A’s went 58-17 after the all-star break

They squeaked into the playoffs with 102 wins ... 14 games behind Seattle’s historic season. They played their way into the ALDS losing to the Yankees after winning the first 2 games.

Thanks Angels!

People say the same thing about Cron when in reality he's only hit 3 home runs in AL east parks that aren't tampa bay

Those guys are not losing votes to teammates.  Unless you want to admit Trout would lose votes to Simmons?

Um, that's not how East Coast bias works in the MVP balloting.

Still, even if the Angels were in first, Betts has the better numbers.

By people you mean me

[disarcina]

perhaps only because BoSox will be in the post-season playoffs and the Halos likely will not.

I'd vote for Trout.

It’s happening.... With Valbuena hitting a walk off homer on the last game of the season to force a 1 game playoff with the M’s, that we destroy them in.

 

book it

this is my yearly reminder that there's a decided difference between "the player who had the best season" vs. "the player who was most valuable to his team."

red sox are on pace to win 115 games, and betts is having a monster year. those two things can't be overlooked when comparing him to trout, who's stuck on a 4th place team that is playing around .500 ball.

i know, i know, team success . . . well, why are the red sox so successful this year? and where would they be without betts? and where would the halos be without trout?
