As projected by me ahead of the "experts" Pete Crow-Armstrong now surpasses Ohtani in total WAR....... Even when you combine Shos production as a pitcher and batter Pete still brings more value......
Greg is an idiot.... Bobby Witt Jr has double the WAR Alvarez has and NVM the Astros are still outside of a Wild Card Spot..... Nvm at this pace Pete Crow-Armstrong is set to outpace Shohei in WAR as well..... Under his definition only those in winning/playoff teams could win the MVP but thankfully that ain't how the rules work for the NL/AL hardware.......
So what the hell is Greg talking about
Dear Voter:
There is no clear-cut definition of what Most Valuable means. It is up to the individual voter to decide who was the Most Valuable Player in each league to his team. The MVP need not come from a division winner or other playoff qualifier.
The rules of the voting remain the same as they were written on the first ballot in 1931:
1. Actual value of a player to his team, that is, strength of offense and defense.
2. Number of games played.
3. General character, disposition, loyalty and effort.
4. Former winners are eligible.
5. Members of the committee may vote for more than one member of a team.
Because Pete Crow-Armstrong is ready to upset the 2026 NL MVP race and steal the NL MVP hardware from right under Ohtanis feet...... He is already surpassing his projections and exceeding them.... And brings more value than Ohtani as a pitcher and batter combined as good and exciting as Sho is and always is.....
Pete is taking it to another level and setting the tone for the most amazing defensive player that has played in modern times with power and speed......
At this pace he will have a solid 1.5+ to 2+ fWAR with a projected 9.6+ to 10+ fWAR given his pace over Ohtanis projected sub 8 fWAR as a batter+pitcher at the end of the season...... And isn't that something and IMO given this pace he has the NL MVP in the bag..... And nobody knows it yet not even Crow-Armstrong
A man capable of not just hitting with a solid swing finding holes or sending it out of the park which always matters but of simply pretty much defying the laws of physics with his out of this world defense....... challenging even the most amazing legends to have played the game with that alone......
Nvm that Pete Crow Armstrong brings more value than Ohtani on the field....... He brings as much value as Barry Bonds and not even Shohei has done that in all his career...... And Pete is natural too and as said bringing Barry Bonds production and value *_*
Good lesson...... More kids need to be smacked like this for not standing up for the the National Anthem by these older cats.... Gotta learn to show respect for the flag.....
President Trump welcomes Ohtani and the Dodgers to White House for their 2025 World Series Championship win..... "What a guy" couldn't agree more Mr. President *_*
Pete catching up to Ohtani..... At this pace Crow-Armstrong will surpass Shohei by next month..... But in reality Petes already passed Sho in production and fWAR.
Pete is doing even better than my projections now and way better than Shohei...... He has a full 1+ fWAR over Ohtani.....
Pete Crow-Armstrong also has a solid 10+ point lead over Shohei Ohtani in wrc+......
I mean I called it and at this pace there is no way Shohei could catch up. Pete gain an entire +1 fWAR over Shohei in the span of 2 weeks or so..... And at that pace and this pace Crow-Armstrong is going to run away with the 2026 NL MVP as he as a 7+ fWAR and Shohei has regressed from a 6+ combined fWAR as a pitcher and batter to a 5.9+ fWAR......
