 I am never a firm believer I try not to believe that it's true that the such a thing is Yankee bias But I'm sorry that this kind of smells like teen spirit, and it smells like a little Yankee bias I see my people were convinced they were gonna vote for Otani at the beginning of the year because I especially was I'm sorry. You don't give you don't give a guy an award on what he could be you what he did this year You argue with me how and do hard could have been better Couldn't be and he was breaking records that belong to Joe DiMaggio as far as rookie was concerned now This this award was won the second he signed with the age seems like it because he was gonna do something that hadn't been done since Ruth in a hundred years, and he was a he was a good hitter had 22 home runs He was a he was a good pitcher, but he didn't play a full season And it wasn't like he was absolutely special at either of the two But I think the uniqueness of the award won it But I think the second he signed unless he completely fell on his face they're gonna give him the award Yeah, I'm stunned by the lopsided nature of it if somebody had said, okay, here's the deal He won it was really close But it shouldn't be it shouldn't have been lopsided. It should have been really close Because I was lucky enough to see him play all the time now you it's not most valuable rookie. I get that But don't you think that? Well, I don't know the angels would have been better having Miguel and do her play 149 155 games rather than what Otani did now if Otani had completed the whole year Pitching the way that I have a living way pets then that he wins the award But don't give it to me on what if he played the whole year? He didn't play the whole year and in terms of being a hitter So fewer played appearances and well and do it's just not fair What it came down to most likely in the analytic world is is that is what he had a 3.9 war and and do hard a 2.2 war So that's what it's gonna come down to now Win above replacements is the stat Even though nobody could figure out what it is ESPN has their own formula baseball has another formula I'm not gonna be sure what the heck it is And yet that is the determining factor on how good a player is and when you look at it 3.9 to 2.2 sounds pretty significant right right if it's an earned-run average But it's games. It's wins. So he's worth a shade under four wins Miguel and do ours a shade over two wins In a season where the Yankees 100 games, you know, what's two wins? It just seems like they really want to just Give it to the the analytic garbage again is and do hard great defender. No, he's not Is he a great hitter unbelievable hitter? unbelievable rookie hitter And he's a year younger And I just think that Otani's uniqueness Why that's it that couldn't have said it better myself the fact that he's doing something that Babe Ruth hadn't been done since Babe Ruth because it's so funky and different and it's great It's great for the sport, but I'm sorry and do her to me was okay the year He played more played a lot more and was really important what the Yankees did
