Rational Astros

But those don't count because of reasons they can't get into right now

We don't even know our own power

Those votes, or like any of the other ones

And screw these guys for making me defend Aaron Judge, I feel gross

It comes from 1) the false assumption that cal actually had a better season (he didn't), and 2) brain rot

I'm not sad at all. In fact I'm pretty happy.

The more I read this the more perfectly it encapsulates the entire narrative around the Astros. "Most others did something similar but the problem is the Astros"

Yes you're correct. A majority of voters (not just Texas) were informed enough to eschew narrative and vibes in favor of the most deserving player. Crazy concept.

Guys, this is a real post from the actual NBC affiliate here in Seattle. In case you're wondering what it's like living here lol

Seems like they'd want to do a partnership with Boston

What cost? There isn't a human on this wide green internet suggesting they paid any price for it.

Makes tonight even sweeter seeing Mariners fans losing their minds that Astros writers voted correctly. Thank you, Chandler.

This is all I needed

Would it be too petty to post *the* screenshot tonight?

Narrative?

Some person named Stephen Hawkins covers the Rangers. Figures.

Excuse me while I go look at which 1 voter didn't put Brown in the top 5

#Astros

I guess we root caused the return to play issues

Jared Jones feels like a very Astros target for some reason

1B - Walker
3B - Correa
SS - Peña
DH - Yordan/Paredes
2B - Altuve/Paredes
LF - Yordan/Altuve

You've got 6 guys for 6 spots. The marginal downgrade at 2B defense is worth the offensive depth.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Everyone's talking about this infield logjam and needing to move Walker like one of Correa, Paredes, Peña, Walker, and Altuve won't be injured at every moment.

I'll try to remember to not have a rat on the team next time, thanks

Dodgers Yankees and Red Sox also cheated and lost. Hard to take the slap on the wrist comment seriously when they were the only team punished. Nobody cares.

That's funny, I accuse Clayton Kershaw of being a little bitch to lose the 2017 world series

You consider losing all the draft picks and losing the GM and the half decade of scapegoating as nothing? Feels like something to me.

@tomscott.com

Why, is there a pattern of MLB scapegoating someone else to protect the Dodgers?
