But it’s hard to justify his victory over Justin Verlander and Corey… Continue reading Justin Verlander Fully Deserved To Win The AL Cy Young Award

Everybody knows about the Giants’ heroics in even years. They won the World Series in 2010, 2012 and 2014, and now they got past the 2016 Wild Card Round. Madison Bumgarner pitched a four-hit shutout, and Conor Gillaspie hit a three-run homer in the ninth to lift San Francisco past the New York Mets on the… Continue reading Madison Bumgarner Once Again Proves He’s The Best Pitcher In The National League

But we are a few weeks away from the… Continue reading Kyle Hendricks Deserves The NL Cy Young Award
