Kris Bryant Firehose of Splooge Thread

[Tonker]

At this point, it's hard to swee who else is going to win the NL ROY.  Duffy's probably the next best choice, but it's not particularly close, numbers-wise - and the Giants aren't going to the post-season.

The award has been Bryant's all season long. The only time it was ever in doubt was around the time of the all star break, when Bryant was slumping and Joc Pederson had been arguably more valuable to that point, but since then Bryant's been insane and Joc not so much.

Duffy will get a token vote or two but whether you use conventional stats (in which case Bryant leads in HR, RBI, OBP, and basically everything but average) or advanced stats (leads in bWAR and fWAR) the argument is clearly Bryant, no contest.

Anything less than Bryant getting every single first place vote is a travesty.

He hit the 6.0 WAR barrier last night (per fWAR, 5.5 bWAR). I remember thinking how awesome it would be when Keith Law threw out an Evan Longoria if Bryant had Longoria's rookie year and he's already surpassed it. Insane. As RV noted on twitter he's got the 5th best season by fWAR of any rookie position player in 30 years.

Whatever. Grichuk should win it, but the stupid news media only loves Bryant more because he's a Cub.

Bro, let's discuss over some Provel-smothered breadtangle of "pizza" why Grichuk and Piscotty should be co-ROYs, along with Yadi, because every year is like seeing him for the first time.

Whenever the Cubs play the Cardinals I have to watch the FSN Midwest feed (because I rarely get the Cubs out here in the city that is like 70% Cubs fans and hosts the Cubs AAA affiliate) if I don't want to watch it on my phone or laptop and there's always a commercial for Imo's Pizza that offers free Provel bites with any large pizza.

Just fried, doughy balls of fake cheese. St. Louis, everybody.

I, er, also laughed at this particular thing.

Sterling's been OK since he had that meltdown and told us we were really mean Internet guys when it was really just tough love. Therefore, I think we can take the credit for his improvement.

How does it feel to know that you'll never, ever find out what it feels like to win a World Series?

I'm still coming to grips with it. I mean, with all the talent on this roster, you'd think they'll contend for one at some point in the next few years. But we're not promised tomorrow. It's all an illusion.
