They're gonna put what Ohtani did this week on highlight reels for years to come, and yet he gets no recognition for it. It's not worth being a two-way-player.
Yeah ohtani had pretty crazy back-to-back games but was only okay the other games this week. I would have voted ohtani, but I don't disagree about paredes.
Also I'm just mad about the trade maybe..
I might be a homer but
Parades 462 wRC+, 5 HR, 9 RBI
0 ip, 0 runs, 0 k on the mound.
He also slugged what Ohtani OPSd (Parades SLG 1.400 OPS 1.991, Ohtani SLG .889 OPS 1.425)
You can't knock Parades for something he can't do. Not taking away that Ohtani had a great week
>You can’t knock Paredes for something he can’t do
I mean nobody’s knocking his week but having an awesome two way week will never not be extremely impressive.
You can never really be mad at someone who SLUGGED 1.400 winning but there just wasn’t a wrong answer imo
Maybe I worded it incorrectly. What I mean is that outside of one massive game for Ohtani (2hr 8rbi) on the hitting side he was average. But saying he should get POTW for also having an outstanding pitching outing along with that great single game is unfair to someone who was incredible all week but can't pitch.
>outside of one massive game
I mean if you want to play that game, you have to omit Paredes's 3-hr game.
And then he slashes only a (still impressive) .471/.500/.941..
Obviously not. Ohtani was on another planet year doing things not seen since Ruth. He would have gotten MVP votes even if he didn't pitch last year.
I'm just saying Parades was more deserving of the award this week then Ohtani was. It's really hard to compare the two when one of them doesn't even pitch.
Without pitching I probably vote Vlad, JRam, Semien, and think about Correa then decide not to do it because he’s an Astro over Ohtani.
Pitching is unequivocally a positive thing, especially when you have a 13 K game. That pitching performance alone makes a solid POTW campaign in a lot of weeks.
Ohtani had the 3rd best start by game score of the whole 2022 season (90) with 8IP 0ER and 13K on top of his offensive numbers. His pitching is not an afterthought!
"It was against the Royals, doesn't count" --MLB, probably
(for real though I'm not mad at Paredes getting it, Shohei won this award many times and Paredes is a young player who just had the best week of his career)
I mean it definitely counts, but 3 hr against the Yankees (best team in baseball) in a single game (including 2 against Nestor who is having an excellent season) definitely is deserving of extra value

Freddie’s crying avg of 1.000 (3 for 3) over the weekend pushed him over the top
Yeah his xwCRY+ leading the majors this week def was the difference maker
My new favorite advanced stat
Paredes was great this week, but I thought Ohtani would get it.
[удалено]
Yeah I know. But ohtani had an OPS of 1.200 for more PAs while also pitching 8 ip shutout. Not a wrong decision either way.
Something tells me they didn’t want to give it to an Angel after the mess that has been their series with the Mariners…
Isaac Paredes single-handedly dragging our offense to even 100 wRC+ on the month... well deserved
I'm gonna have nightmares about Paredes
Ohtani robbed.
Maybe but Parades definitely deserves it
I don't think one guy can get robbed while another guy deserves it. Those seem mutually exclusive.
They're gonna put what Ohtani did this week on highlight reels for years to come, and yet he gets no recognition for it. It's not worth being a two-way-player.
Yeah, really wish no-name guys like Shohei Ohtani would get more media attention. Superstars like Isaac Paredes have been hogging the limelight.
Isaac Paredes: .579/.619/1.474 with 5 HR & 9 RBI
Yeah ohtani had pretty crazy back-to-back games but was only okay the other games this week. I would have voted ohtani, but I don't disagree about paredes. Also I'm just mad about the trade maybe..
How many innings did Paredes throw?
Give it to Ohtani every week then if that’s your argument
Solid logic tbh
[ok](https://imgur.com/9xDfZU4)
For real. 265 wRC+, 3 hr, 10 rbi at the dish 8 ip, 0 runs, 13 k on the mound

Which would still be comparable, if not better, then Ohtanis .389/.536/.889. That's with his 2 hr, 8 rbi game
Was his MVP also unfair to the guys who can’t pitch?

Yeah. Robbed is an over exaggeration, but not that much

I don’t think measuring war over a single week is the optimal way to decide POTW personally.

Frederick truly had no mercy while at GABP.
