Your location lies.

It's better for the Rockies if TT loses the award, Scott Boras won't come in asking for 10 million more because he won ROY. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

No biggie.. just like having one of the best fielding teams ever and not getting a gold glove.

Just like having only one Bronco in the Hall of Fame.

This is to be expected here.

If Tulo played for a NY team he would have had a much better chance.

Wasn't crying about anything, but its definitely true. Midwest teams get jobbed on stuff like this. Only one Bronco in the Hall of Fame is a total joke. If a handful of our players were on the East Coast they woulda been in for sure. This is just expected. Same reason Holliday likely won't get MVP. I would be absolutely amazed if he did. Unless they are just clearly head and shoulders above the competition (TD back when he got MVP) there is a huge regional bias.

Also, not sure why you two implied I was crying about it. My entire post was that of complacency above. Who cares about votes like this? They aren't indicative of anything.

Then why did Morneau win MVP last year over Jeter???

And is Wisconsin located on the east coast?

Tulo shoulda won though.

Also because of the obvious Pro-Milwaukee bias in media.

No one's debating that. It's just that Tulo's defense more than made up for the difference. Way more.

I never said Braun didn't deserve it. The point of this thread was "Rockies fans are gonna be pissed", the point of my post was Colorado fans don't care because our guys don't win awards.

warp is a pretty bad stat. that being said, while tulowitzki should have won the roty, it's not like choosing braun was absolutely ludicrous. sorry.

It's pretty bad. Even given debates about fielding metrics, Tulo had a total run value anywhere from 50-200% better than Braun.

what would ryan braun's stats look like if he got to play in the rockies gimmick park for half his games? looking at tulowitzki's home/away splits is like night and day

same for mvp candidate holliday. rockies players should be disqualified from eligibility for any award that takes offense into account

Re: Rockies fans are gonna be pissed. Braun Wins ROY
 

The Rockies have been in the mlb for like 15 years and you're complaining about awards.
