Houston, We Have Rule Changes! The Official 2023 MLB Season Thread

The Acuna/Mookie MVP vote is probably gonna be really tight and I see the arguments both ways, but Acuna's consistency should give him the edge. Compare their averages/OPS by month:

Acuna:
April - .353/1.004
May - .298/.933
June - .356/1.111
July - .326/.917
August - .352/1.005
September - .343/1.121

Mookie:
April - .242/.767
May - .269/.958
June - .309/1.037
July - .305/1.011
August - .455/1.355
September - .241/.714

I might be biased but I don't really see how Mookie would get a first place vote over Acuna. Mookie had a great year, no question about that but Acuna matched him or surpassed him every category and then stole 73 bases to go along with it. But that's me.

I teared up as they took Miggy out the game for the last time.

Greatest right handed hitter ever

Not better than Albert

Thanks for the memories, MiGOAT.

 

[Mike_Pipeson]

And just like we all figured, Astros took the division

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I remember watching Miggy in the 2003 NLCS and thinking "wow this guy is special" but who knew he'd be one of the best hitters of all time.

 

[Dem313wayz]

Not better than Albert

He would have over 600 HRs if he played in a hitter friendly ballpark and not being injured the last 5 years

His drop off was massive end of career

@Spence if these crybaby fakkits don't shut all the way the fukk up
D-backs like I don't give a shyt about your poverty franchise

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

A disgraceful end to a miserable season for the Metropolitans.

It was but his body was shot. I think Miggy was a better "pure" hitter than Pujols but as much as it pains me to say, Pujols was better at his peak. His run in STL was ungodly. The numbers speak for themselves.
