If FSN still uses the MLB on Fox theme, why is broadcast Fox such dicks about using that NFL theme? Ugh.
Fife on pace to get that 27 K game.

The Phillies came into this series having won 7 in a row and just lost 3 out of 4 to the Astros?
It's not hard to see the reason why tigers fans feel miggy should be MVP despite the fact trout has a much higher WAR... the simple fact is if miggy wasn't on the team the tigers would likely be 10 plus games back lol, which indeed makes him pretty darn valuable.

Jesus Christ.
I'd doubt it's that dramatic a contribution, but offensively, one of the best players I've ever seem, obviously, but his defense at 3rd, yeesh. Trout has it all around and quite rightly deserves the MVP.
and if Trout was not on the Angels the Angels would be farther back than than the Tigers if they were missing Cabrera.
No-hitter and 24 wins help.
don't get me wrong I still think it goes to trout, but miggy alone has won 6 games against the white sox this year. That's not to say his replacement maybe wouldn't have done something to help win in those situations, but Miggy has done a ton of hitting in runs that put the tigers in the lead or pad the lead when they are only up by 1 to save a lead when valverde gives up a run to make it a one run finish.

Trout still leads all batters in win probability added according to Fangraphs.
again, I still think it goes to trout, just saying I can see the argument for miggy.
either way, here's hoping valverde gets a blown save today ^^

Im goin with Trout myself. Kid does everything.
trout has been the better hitter (best hitter in baseball this season) and plays a great CF (vs a shitty 3B), and has been great on the basepaths (vs god awful). I honestly don't see a argument that would change my mind on the AL MVP. It should be unanimous.
Trout has been worth 3.4 more wins than Cabrera (third best in the AL fWAR) and he has played 20 less gms! This season has been on historic levels.
Top 5 Players in fWAR in the AL
Trout 9.4
Cano 6.2
Verlander 6.1
Cabrera 6.0
Beltre 5.8

Yeah, not arguing about who wins MVP, Miggy will definitely get his share of votes, just pointing out that he is a fairly one dimensional player. How many Tigers games are close because of his lack of range at third? Much harder to tell than what is plainly obvious with his bat.
Edit: Yes, if it's not unanimous I'll be very disappointed.
yeah ROTY and MVP should be obviously trout in the AL I really can't see them going any other way (I still think there should be a ROTY position and a ROTY pitcher though as they are so hard to compare, I mean a rookie pitcher could be the Cy Young winner with 25 wins and a 2.1 ERA and 250 Ks and a .95 WHIP and would that beat out trout?)
I think the Cy Young will be interesting though... I don't really see any true front runners at this time, very well how the final few starts go will decide the winner for that.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
really depending on how the last starts go for people it could be felix, verlander, price, sale or weaver. I mean Weaver is winning in WHIP and is second in ERA he shouldn't be ignored either.
and between those 5 I can't really say for certain which one should be the cy young. It easily could change with their last 2-3 starts.
edit: YES lead off double, come on indians blown save for valverde!!!!!
