    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!!!

    how the hell is Trout going to catch Donaldson?

    look at what Donaldson did to him in the past two games

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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?"

    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

    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

    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...
