2015 AL MVP: Josh Donaldson (Toronto Blue Jays)

**JameisBrady** · 08-23-15, 03:47 AM

can't wait till Trout repeats as MVP so we can laugh at this silly canuck.

**CAPPER33** · 08-23-15, 07:01 AM

Without a doubt Donaldson is MVP. The numbers are all in his favour and he's on a team going to the playoffs. Only way he doesn't get it is if the voters get caught up in the Trout is the golden boy of baseball theme. This is Donaldson's year. Trout is a great player and will go on the win many more MVP'S down the road... just not this year!!!

you're right but you are asking to get blasted when Toronto chokes

**JameisBrady** · 08-23-15, 03:40 PM

He won't be around to get blasted, he'll have hanged himself by then

**Ratzz** · 08-23-15, 03:44 PM

LOL.. it's the Yankees fans that are going to be hanging themselves...

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 08-23-15, 07:18 PM

just don't see your pitching holding up past Price...Buerhle and Dickey both have the potential to get shelled hard, both must hit their spots and have great location for potential success.

Wow didn't know Cruz was totally out of the al discussion 321 average 37 hr 76 rbi I know Donaldson has more rbi but look who Cruz plays for here idk just saying he should be in discussion

very good bat, but it's about leading your team, Donalson took the leadership position
from Bautista and Encarnacion, and others.. he's their leader, in his first year.

Cruz is playing with Cano, Trumbo, playing very well, but not leading, not firing up
the entire squad.

Donaldson has them the entire outfit firing on all cylinders

**JameisBrady** · 08-23-15, 08:20 PM

this dude can't even speak in any modicum of discernable english lmao

"them the entire outfit firing on all cylinders" lmao

**pilebuck13** · 08-23-15, 09:02 PM

He's an obvious Toronto fan I give it to him Donaldson is looking favored but I wouldn't say absolute lock yet

LOL.. i suppose that you would not make the decryption team, as those positions are reserved for individuals
who are able to distinguish between the inability to properly communicate in English, and a lack of proper editing.

Coverage includes audio and video clips, interviews, statistics, schedules and exclusive stories.

WATCH Donaldson hustle to 1st Base... creating a rushed throw that went wide, and pulled 1B off the base

allowing Revere to score, and get the go-ahead.

almost anybody else.. just jogs and is content with tying the game, hoping to win it in extras.

**Mike Huntertz** · 08-25-15, 11:10 PM

He is the front runner, a ways to go!

**JameisBrady** · 08-26-15, 12:13 AM

this dude is crediting Donaldson for a throwing error by Adrian Beltre

Mentally unstable people, this is what they look like.

**MoMoneyMoVaughn** · 08-26-15, 12:25 AM

We are mentally unstable, yes.

idiot. please observe the difference in the degrees of hustle of these two teams.

A) MVP Donaldson, takes off immediately on a ROUTINE ground out, very low chance of making 1st.

B) MVP Donaldson approaching base, rushed throw off-line by Gold Glove Adrian Beltre

C) Loser Mark Texeira already calling it a day in the 3rd Inning.. not even bothering to turn around.
on a fly to right, not even curious about the play. No interest. I'm sure Girardi talked to him about that.

all pictures here are how these men perform in a tied game in a tight race.

since you know you are beat, you try to drag down and discredit every Blue Jay win,
but this team is great and will win the AL East. Contrary to your moronic predictions otherwise.

i suppose you are just not smart enough to observe the details unless they are pointed out to you.
(and that is not your fault) so i will give you a pass here.

.. but let me give you a hint.. when you are evaluating a team's performance, don't just let your eyes
follow the ball. That will give you a very limited understanding of what happened in a game.

Look at the supporting cast..

"what are the ASSISTING players doing?"... away from the ball

"what is the ENTIRE team doing?"

**akphidelt** · 08-26-15, 01:53 AM

Before August Trout... after August no doubt Donaldson. Trout has scored 5 runs so far in August. Donaldson 23. Just 1 hr and 6 RBI's for Trout. I think Hosmer is ahead of Trout at this time also.

The Great Mark Texeira.. taking a leisurely stroll in the park,
the ball is still 4 seconds away from Beltran.

...why hustle? you get paid $26M either way.

i think "lock" is right... take a look at this... most guys only get a double out of this, because they are not gunning it,
hoping or assuming that it is a HR...

he busted it out of the box and turned it into a triple anyways

this dude is GOLD

**Ratzz** · 09-12-15, 06:00 PM

Yankee announcers just mentioned that Donaldson and Encarnacion..
are the first TWO teammates to hit 10 Homeruns and 30 RBIs apiece... in a calendar month since....

Babe Ruth and Lou Gerhig in 1930

wow

Startling when you think about it...you would think someone else would have done it since..Bash brothers, WillCkark/Kevin Mitchell, Mays/McCovey, Ortiz and Ramirez, Mantle and Maris, Stargell and Clemente.......and not one of them has done it...wow indeed...

**Ratzz** · 09-12-15, 06:41 PM

pitching has come a loooong way since then.. it may be more of a feat today
