@Miller204@maxkellerman He won unanimously last year with half the innings and a whole ERA more. You genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about. When he wins his 5th MVP at the end of this season he’ll have won 5 in 6 years. No one in the game has had a higher peak without cheating.
@Miller204@maxkellerman So 4-5 more MVPs…🤤 If you’re still using WAR for Ohtani you’re behind 9 years. It’s well established amongst voters, sports betting sights, mlbs own predictions, that WAR doesn’t accurately evaluate two way players. Thats is why he’s the favourite rn.
@Miller204@maxkellerman That’s pretty funny, thinking PCA is going to win MVP😂 and other players? You mean the one that isn’t in the hall of fame for cheating? Good to know though that you stand behind Ohtani needing 10 MVPs to be considered the goat🤤
@Miller204@maxkellerman Longevity only becomes part of the conversation when you’re comparing players of the same archetype. Ohtani is two players in one person, he doesn’t need to play for 15+ years for you to realise no one has been better at baseball than Ohtani in the history of the sport. Name one.
@PissMistle@maxkellerman You realise if you took the back seven years off of any hall of fame player, they would have better stats. Bonds was a cheat that needed steroids to be in the goat conversation.
@nova_burke@MiniMegal Right they’re both in LA, you’re so close to getting it champ, good job bud. The difference is one owner invests in players and the other doesn’t want to take the risk. One team is going for a three peat, the other is missing the playoffs for the 12th season in a row. Both in LA.
@cap_kang4 You realise it’s well established amongst voters, sports betting sights, MLB predictions, that WAR doesn’t accurately evaluate two way players. Ohtani won unanimously last year with less than 50 innings of 2.7 era. He has double the innings and a full era less. PCA is not winning
@Miller204@maxkellerman How many MVPs does he need? 7? 10? 15? Inflation right? Ignore the fact that bonds needed to inject anabolic into his ass every night to be considered the goat. Career .960ops, 2.8era, that’s the goat.
@KronAssassin@pghfourteen@doyersporfavor Like the angels right? Just as stingy as the other trash teams in the league. Do you think they made more or less revenue when they had Ohtani. Any team in the league could’ve signed murakami and had a massive new Japanese fan base. They’re too stingy.
@Kristian_IsKing@pghfourteen@doyersporfavor It’s called investment brochacho. You have to spend money to make money at that level. Literally business 101. It’s not going to happen in one season, it might happen over the course of a decade though, that’s why it’s an investment. Most recent mistake was not signing murakami.
@nova_burke@MiniMegal Because it’s take more than one season of winning to create a bigger fan base, take on bigger sponsors, naturally attract the best players in the league. Whats the difference between the dodgers and the angels?
@WatchBaseball@iamcogs@KB18ROS Oh you should’ve said that you’ve read tons of articles champ, I didn’t know. Let’s just make a quick little tally. Who thinks WAR is inaccurate? Me, MLB, voting panel, every single sports betting company. Nah but I’m sure you’re onto something over there, keep it up champ.
@WatchBaseball@iamcogs@KB18ROS He’s not more valuable. Thats why he won’t win mvp. This should help. Using stats that weren’t designed to evaluate the player you are trying to evaluate is why you’re confused. There are hundreds of articles going over why WAR doesn’t accurately evaluate Ohtani. Voters know this
@Miles_Bradley@maxkellerman The average fastball velocity was 90mph during the steroid era. Everyone knows extra strength helps hitters more than pitchers. The fact that people can look at bonds’ pre steroid career and call him the goat is a joke.
@pghfourteen@doyersporfavor The only difference between a broke team and a rich team is one is winning and the other sucks. No consistently winning team is broke. These teams all have billionaire owners, the only thing stopping them from getting new players and winning more is a lack of investment.
