He's leading on OPS and SLG now so it's not just homers, which is good.   4th in WAR among hitters.  If he makes a run at 60 it'll also be the big news story every day.

 

 

last game of the season, bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, 3-2 count, Marlins down by 3 needing to win to lock up the last WC spot, Stanton at the plate and he blasts number 62 and it shatters the glass as it blows through a window in left field.  

 

that oughta do the job

 

 

He's going to his 65+ this season and 75+ next season

 

 

Yeah yeah yeah, he hit 50 home runs.... but can he walk on water?

 

shit... I think he just did!

 

 

its his to lose at this point

 

 

More articles have come out this week from national writers on why Stanton should be the MVP. He's starting to separate himself from the pack. The Marlins might not have to make the playoffs for this to happen. 

 

 

Stanton hits 62 + he will win MVP.

 

He will make a run at 70 really on the pace he is on lately.

 

 

I think he's the clear front-runner regardless of what the Marlins do

 

 

From Greg Cote in the Herald... saying G deserves MVP for not just having a great season but for being so far ahead of the other candidates... 

 

 

 

Goldschmidt might be the biggest competition, and his team is better than Miami, but he is having an ordinary-great season, with the kind of numbers you see from a bunch of guys every year.

 

Stanton is having an extraordinarily great season, one making history pay attention as he makes his move toward 60 home runs, a plateau that has withstood the devaluation of the steroids era to still be a magical number across all sports and eras.

 

There are three words for a season like that, but the acronym will do.

 

MVP.

 

 

 

Stanton is the MVP and he is going to be the all-time single season steroid-free home run king.
