I’ve got no beef with Bryce Harper and Yordan Alvarez being #1 & #2, but Jose Altuve at #3? Is Ballsack Sports managing the MLB Twitter account? Dive into Jose Altuve’s postseason: 3 for 32, .094/.171/.125, 11 Ks. While wearing more wire than Big Pussy Bonpensiero.

Then you have Justin Verlander with a 6.30 ERA and seven earned runs in 10 innings in front of Zack Wheeler, who’s posting a 1.78 ERA and averaging more innings per start. There’s no Rhys Hoskins, no Seranthony Dominguez, no Jeremy Pena, who won the ALCS MVP. Nothing, which makes me think it’s a slow news day and they’re trying to get a rise out of Phillies fans. If so, it worked. But fuck you still.
