Who's the last rookie to win MVP?

Fred Lynn?

 

[tonyballs]

Ichiro.

No...was it?

I thought it was Jackie Robinson...

Trouts season right now, is as good as Willie Mays in his prime.

The stolen bases will put him over the top.

Yup, 2001.

That and the home run saving catches.

All that matters is how far away he was when the catcher tagged him.

And yes, DY should not be looking at the OF when trying to score, but nobody ever accused him of being a smart baseball player.

According to who you? The ball was in the catchers glove and if you pause the TV right there DY is still 10 FEET FROM HOME PLATE...In my book that is slow. THAT IS MY OPINION ON THE MATTER .. Whatever..

Lynn and Ichiro are the only rookies to win the MVP award.

Jimminy Christmas, man...let's see the kid do it multiple times before we start comparing him to the sayhey kid...wow.

here we go let's use the closer in a 4 run lead so he's not available if the game is tight tomorrow. Smokie grumbles and sez who the fuck do you want me to use here coke, putkerton? lol

According to fact.

He's not out until the catcher tags him.

Didn't it seem like Potato would hit 97 or 98 occasionally when he first came over? Now he tops out at around 94-95...

Exactly....I'd rather see Valverde in a 4 run game than anyone but Dotel right now.

Comparing this season only.

You need to watch it again...Ball was in the catchers glove and DY was still 10 feet from home plate.... Only reason he was out by only 2 feet was because the ball was in front of home plate and the catcher had to swing back... Yes DY's great avoidance of the tag was the only reason he almost made it..

So lets recap... A faster player makes it easy and DY should not have been looking the whole time and concentrate his little legs moving... You guys just can't stand it when Bob is right... Fuck this board...

Yeah, you're right...

You should go find another board where the rest of the posters are as smart and enlightened as you are....

Trout last 7 days .217
August .255

Looks like he's slowing down.

He should be available tomorrow. Unless he throws like 30+ pitches..lol.
