not sure if serious re: phillips mvp

Dead serious. He has as good of a case as anyone in the NL.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Tulo and Goldschmidt would have an argument as well.

 

[005]

I just... don't agree.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

I just... don't agree.

Ok please enlighten me...

He's absolutely been our MVP thus far on the year and we currently have the 2nd best record in the league.

Disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing is lame-o...

Joey Votto is still eligible, right?

Votto, no. He wasn't very good the whole month of April. BP carried us in terms of driving in runs. Fact.

Choo, ok perhaps.

Starling Marte? Really? Um, no.

Segura - Having a great year no doubt. The Brewers blow.

Upton - He's hit .239 in May with 2HRs and 9RBIs. No.

Cargo - 13 less RBIs than Brandon and his average isn't remarkably better. No.

Posey - See Cargo. No.

Of course but look at his stats in April.

.291 4 11

Not MVP worthy.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

I'm sorry, I appreciate you attempting to debate me but I just shredded you in this one.

 

[005]

.358/.484/.545

.284/.330/.464

Joey Votto's OBP is 20 points higher than Brandon Phillips' slugging percentage.

That's just fantastic but I hope you're not being serious with this. Since when has anyone won the MVP because they had a great OBP? Adam Dunn if he could hit about .260 would have won multiple MVPs if anyone used OBP as a big reason to vote for league MVP.

Come stronger.

I love having this problem. Who's the greater MVP candidate on the same team?

Votto is the greater MVP candidate. If by "problem" you mean "actual debate," then this isn't a problem at all.

Me too but anyone who has watched us all year would laugh at him for trying to say Votto deserves it as much or more than Brandon.

Brandon had 24RBIs in April. Joey had 11.

Wrong. Literally nobody would agree with you on this. Nobody.

The batting lines speak for themselves, really. I just found it rather ridiculous (worse than I even suspected) that Votto was out-OBPing Phillips slugging percentage by a hefty margin.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Brandon has 16 RBIs thus far in May. Joey has 13.

To this point, BP. Joey is getting blazing hot now. If he keeps this run up, He will run away with the award.

 

[005]

Wrong. Literally nobody would agree with you on this. Nobody.

Please be trolling. Please.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Please be trolling. Please.

Not one bit.

 

[005]

He's already running away with the award?!?!? Is this real life??? Where am I? Is this 1934? Is Brandon Phillips even allowed to play? Is this earth?

exactly dude. exactly.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Brandon Phillip - 40RBIs
Joey Votto - 20RBIs

Love Joey. He ain't the MVP over Brandon. No way, no how.

Maybe I should make it where you can read it.........
