2018 Season Comes to an End

With the end of the regular season here, Christian Yelich is surging to the top of the MVP poll, Javy Baez must be pissed as heck. Javy Baez is still as amazing as ever, but Yelich is just too overpowering. Jacob deGrom left Aaron Nola and Max Scherzer in the dust so far away that it’s like they’re four year olds who just began to pitch.

DeGrom is first in ERA by .20 points, second in Pitcher’s WAR by .2. Here’s an interesting fact of deGrom that my gym teacher told me, if the Mets scored at least 3 runs every game that Jake started, he would be 30-0, that he would be a Cy Young winner, no doubt.

Blake Snell has been on top of everything in his Rookie Year, leading his division in Wins, ERA and WAR for pitchers. Mookie Betts is running away with everything, including the MVP honors. He leads his leads his league in runs, average, WAR, slugging percentage and extra base hits.

Khris Davis has been “kh-illing” the ball lately with 47 homers, and he just loves hitting the ball.

Chris Davis on the other hand has been a catastrophe. He can’t hit anything, but still he is one of the highest paid player in baseball.

David Wright will officially retire tonight. He is and always will be my favorite player. He pinch hit yesterday. He will be in the lineup playing 3B tonight as that is his final game in the bigs.
