What? That's why your education level sucks?

 

Yup- and I wanted to call you a bitch.

Ohhhh shooooooot

 

No he didddiiiiinnnnt

As far as Tulo/Lucroy - Tulo's home ballpark has been a major factor in his stats this year, as Coors usually is - .432/.514/.733/1.247 11 homers and 30 RBI at home, .265/.367/.463/.830 7 homers and 17 RBI on the road - still very good slash line either way, especially for shortstop.

 

Overall, Tulo's slash line: .348/.440/.597/1.037

 

Lucroy has been the opposite, which is weird, cause Milwaukee is a bit of a hitter's park, isn't it?

Home: .290/.368/.386/.754 3 homers and 18 RBI

Away: .358/.418/.615/1.032 6 homers and 26 RBI

 

Overall: .327/.396/.512/.908

 

Almost same number of games [85 Tulo, 84 Lucroy] - Lucroy, again, playing a more demanding position in catcher - and overall some pretty similar numbers, all things considered. Take Coors into effect, put Tulo in a somewhat more neutral park (hell, put him in Milwaukee for 81 games), and Lucroy has him beat easily.

 

I know, I know, it's a big "what if" situation, but personally, with those numbers, I'd go with Lucroy over Tulo.

 

Not only that, the MVP award doesn't mean "best player" like Rookie of the Year (for qualifiers) does - it's for Most Valuable. Writers will also go for Lucroy for this simple set of numbers right here:

 

Colorado Rockies: 38-53

Milwaukee Brewers: 52-39

 

For what it's worth, Stanton is ESPN's MVP of the first half. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11196121/first-half-mlb-award-winners

... again, the post was just between Tulowitzki and Lucroy. Good lord.

I guess my point is it shouldn't have been just between Tulo and Lucroy.

I don't care what your point is. It was just a post between Tulowitzki and Lucroy, and if it came down to them, I'd vote for Lucroy, like the original article mentioned.

The original article also mentioned Giancarlo, FWIW.

Good for the original article, my post was only about Tulowitzki and Lucroy. Can you understand that, please? Can you? At all? The original article says it was between Tulowitzki and Lucroy, and yes, he put Stanton 2nd between them, but my post was why I think it had a point and why I'd choose Lucroy over Tulowitzki. That's it.

But why ignore Giancarlo? It's maddening.

STANTON SHOULD RELINQUISH HIS ALL STAR SPOT TO CASEY, THE REAL MVP OF THE MARLINS, how about that haters?
