Arrieta Cy Young and MVP?

[eidolon]

Damn, I didn't know Arrieta dropped his ERA alway down to 1.85. The guy didn't give up an earned-run in 8 of his last 11 outtings, and the other 3 games he gave up 1 twice and 2 the other time.
August ERA: 0.43
September ERA: 0.45

And there are idiots who truly believe Kevin Kershaw is better than this stud. Shows you how powerful the media is with constructing narratives

I think it's idiotic to say that Kershaw should win CY, but to say he's better? I won't put up a huge argument, although it certainly wouldn't surprise if Arrieta has more success going forward. Obviously Kershaw has years worth of dominance behind him, so it's hard to argue against that. Arrieta has had the more dominant season though.

They are not giving the MVP to someone whose team got beaten by two other teams in their own division.

...and by no other teams in all of MLB.

But they would give the MVP to a player on a team that has 12 fewer wins?

Either a Cardinal or a Pirate should get it.
