Shohei Ohtani finishes 4th in AL Cy Young voting, 2nd in AL MVP voting, Trout finishes 8th in AL MVP voting

Rigged and east coast bias at its finest!

He only finished 15 pts back of runnerup Cease.

Putting that in perspective, Mr. Upton received over 200 pts voting, more than double what Cease received.

Ohtani will likely not miss by much of being runnerup for both Cy Young and MVP in the AL.

Should've been third, but meh.

LOL at the Houston Astros beat writer who didn't have Shohei Ohtani in his top-5. 

Ohtani finished 4th in Cy Young voting while blasting 34 HRs and had a 142 WRC+. Pretty damn impressive!!

Haha, it was both writers out of LA

Trout with another top 10 finish, 8th this time.

Twatterers already going after Blum.

Biased towards the Angels?  Lol. Hardly.

Surprised Ohtani didn't get more votes, tbh. Knew he wouldn't win - the WAR disparity was too wide - but thought he'd get more than 2. Feels like it should've been closer to a tie, but I'm not shocked.

Pretty sure he'd say it's based on innings. Of course, that argument kinda goes out the window with his top two, Veroander and Cease, so it feels just a bit selective.

He's simply gone from trolling the Angels fan base to trolling all of baseball.

Pretty bad look for the NBWA that Ohtani only got 2 1st place votes.  I mean this is a pretty silly response to a guy who maybe had the greatest season of all time.  Anyway.  Nevertheless.

I believe 2022 was the first year since 2011 that Trout didn't lead the majors in WAR for even one day. Not Trout Day in 2022...hopefully in 2023.

If there was a 29 year old starting power pitcher in free agency who had gone 24-11 over the last two seasons for a losing team and had already recovered from Tommy John surgery, I wonder what kind of contract he'd get? I don't know if he'd get Gerrit Cole money, because Cole went 35-10 with a winning team, but he'd have to be in the $300,000,000 neighborhood.

Did Ohtani fail to concede or call for a 100% hand recount?  Angels know BS when they see it.
