Official MLB 2021 season thread...

Congrats Braves. Did not root for you at all, but I have to admit there is no real rivalry between the Braves and Mets anymore. Not since Chipper retired. It just sucks that it was because of the Mets that the Braves GM realized they were still in it and traded for a new outfield. Mets were about 5 up on them and had a 5 game series with them and lost 3 out of 5 against a team that was missing many players. Mets took their foot off the pedal and Braves capitalized. Does that series sound familiar to any of y'all Braves fans? But that's just how it is for the Mets, every NL East team has won since the millennium except the damn Mets. Cursed franchise.

Anyways, congrats Braves fans :cheers: or Stro haters (which there are a lot of :oldlol: )

AL MVP finalists: Vlad Jr, Semien, and Shohei

Both teams representing the finalists fail to make the Playoffs, but Blue Jays was 1 game away from a possible three-way tie. Vlad Jr. is the best hitter of the team and in the league this season as having the most HRs in MLB tying with Royals catcher Sal Perez, while Semien made a history of setting the all-time HR record in a regular season for a 2nd base man.

Shohei though was individually great at both hitting and pitching, 2nd in HR behind Vlad and Perez, along with 100 RBI, 103 runs and 26 base steals. He also started 23 games with 9-2 record and 3.18 ERA and 156 Ks.

RIP Julio Lugo

Dead at 45 presumably from a heart attack. :(

Noah Syndergaard to Angels for a 1-year deal.

Jose Barrios stays with Blue Jays with a 7-years extension deal.

The Angels are finally going after pitching. But 21 is a lot for a guy who hasn’t been remotely healthy in 2 years and has t been effective in 4.

Didn't he have a down year compared to previous seasons? He used to own us but the ChiSox battered him around this season...

He wasn't bad; 5-4 with 3.54 ERA during his time with Jays.

Kate Upton's lucky husband stays with Astros for another year after missing a year due to Tommy John surgery.

Jays' Robbie Ray wins AL Cy Young Award. :rockon:

Brewers' Corbin Burnes wins NL Cy Young Award.

Why do they anounce these awards so late? By this time we have already gotten past baseball and are focusing on other sports...weird.

They do need to change the Manager of the Year Award though to include the post-season.

No they don't.

Congrats to Shohei, the 2021 AL MVP :applause:

Bryce Harper wins the 2021 NL MVP.
