Ryan Braun is The MVP and Strasburg should win The Cy Young on the premise that his stats would of been better than any other pitcher's if he didn't have that innings limit.
breh, Strasburg hasnt even been teh most consistent pitcher on the Nats this year.

he will not and should not win the Cy Young.

Rizzo would of laughed at that thought.
Hopefully Harvey and Wheeler pan out :to:

Harvey is looking great. No run support for him tho. In the 5 games in which he started and the mets lost, the mets have scored a total of 7 runs

AL CY YOUNG - Felix
AL ROY - Trout
AL MVP - Miggy
AL MOTY - Showalter



NL CY YOUNG - Cueto or Lohse :leon:
NL ROY - Frazier
NL MVP - Braun (Cutch has disappeared down the stretch again)
NL MOTY - Matheny





To the guy that said "keep picking Cueto and ignoring the numbers". What exactly do you mean? Cueto leads the league in ERA while pitching in a very batter friendly park. He's 4th in innings pitched. Tied for the league lead in wins.


Let me guess, you are gonna say dikkey deserves it because he has more strikeouts (more walks too) and a lower opponent batting average right? Maybe he should win it because he was touched as a child.


dikkey is pitching in meaningless games with no pressure every time he steps out there and when the Mets were in it for a little while around the all star break is when he went out there and threw stinkers.



Maybe you don't have dikkey winning it either....in that case :lolbron:

dikkey deserves its for the sole misfortune that everyday he has to button up that Mets jersey. Someone touched as a child doesn't deserve further punishment like that.

Cueto leads in era by what now, .05? gtfo. Situation is horseshyt when it comes to this award, ballpark is a factor, but it's not big enough to make up 51 strikeouts. I know that's not the see all end all, but do you realize the staggering difference in 50 ks? Cueto has 3 less walks... 3. You wanna start cherry picking stats? dikkey has more innings(in one less start), a lower whip, 21 less hits, 5 cg, 3 cgso... I can go all day.

I feel like the argument is "he's a knuckleballer, it's less stressful on the arm" which may be true, but it's an absolutely bullshyt arguement. If anything dikkey should be rewarded for putting these numbers up as a knuckler.

As of today, 9/5 at 12:30 eastern time, RA dikkey is a better choice for Cy Young than Johnny Cueto. He could get rocked today... and you know what? I expect it. I expect it because anytime I stick up for a Met they shyt in my face.

Cueto has almost double the losses that dikkey has
Cueto is also allowed to throw the knuckleball if he wants to
