    Now watch Browns make it to the playoffs only too lose by 35 in the first game.
    Watch the cavs make the playoffs and lose to the Bulls.

    Cleveland fans getting all types of hope, only to get it yanked away from them as soon as the games matter.

    Not betting baseball much/paying attention to it, he handed it to me a few times. Then came the end of the season and I realized, ohh this guy was pretty good.

    Kluber with the better WAR so it the right choice. Though the dinosaur writers probably gave him the edge due to the higher win total.

    He did not make All-Star team, not many non All-Stars have won Cy Young in past.

    No doubt, I was just making a point about how few guys have won award without making the game. I remember doing an article calling Kluber the biggest All-Star snub at the time.

    Yep, seems many voters went Kluber, Felix, Sale. Not shocking at all and nice to see Sale get recognized with just 12 wins.

    Yep. Kluber's ERA was higher at 2.44 versus Hernandez' ERA at 2.14 and WHIP, K/BB all favored Hernandez but stadium size has got to be taken into account. Not to mention how bad the Indians were defensively.

    Depends on what numbers you are talking about, Kluber led the MAJORS in WAR, even higher than Kershaw.

    Kluber tore it up this season. Had such a breakout season with strikeouts. Well deserved.

    Chris Sale might have deserved to get some more votes. Given that fact that he was on such a bad team. Watch for him to be the next big free agent

    That actually works to Kluber's advantage, that he could do so well with little support.
