Wednesday was Cy Young day for baseball Black Brandon Fusco Jersey , the second-to-last day of awards before we can really get the offseason going. The American League was the more exciting race, and Blake Snell ended up winning, but the National League is getting most of the publicity. Jacob deGrom unsurprisingly ran away with that one, receiving all but one first-place vote. Everyone expected this to happen, but the takes are still coming because the takes can never stop. The most common takeaway from this win: The win stat is officially dead. This is true, but it’s true in the same way that Elvis is officially dead. Wins or no wins, deGrom winning this award is not something that only would have happened in this new baseball environment of 2018. The Mets ace almost certainly would have taken this home last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and you get the point. This wasn’t just a good year in which he didn’t happen to win many games. This was a downright bananas Youth Vic Beasley Jr Jersey , silly season in which his team seemingly conspired against him to keep his win total down. Honestly, the only thing as impressive as deGrom’s work on the mound was his teammates’ work at the plate and in the field to prevent him from racking up W’s. But again, these kinds of seasons get rewarded, and have for years. deGrom only won ten games, but it was eight years ago now that Felix Hernandez won the American League Cy Young with only 13 wins. This isn’t an entirely new phenomenon. Now, are there still people who emphasize wins more than they should? Yes, of course. And is it still possible to get unlucky and draw s Cy Young voting pool that disproportionately features voters like that? I suppose, though it’s very unlikely. There are people pointing to Blake Snell’s victory as evidence that wins do matter (hello, John Smoltz), but obviously Snell did a lot more than just win games. The majority of people recognize that, though the minority can still be vocal enough to make the group seem larger than it is. The win has been dead for a long time. deGrom’s 2018 should be celebrated for its greatness every chance we get www.authenticsatlant… , but it wasn’t the season that killed the win.Manny Machado hasn’t exactly been swimming in positive press lately, but there are still teams that can and should sign him.Folks, this is important.The Mariners are mired in controversy right now with a former trainer accusing the organization of systemic racism throughout the front office. There’s no good way for this end.Pace of play is still the talk of the league, and perhaps they may look at the usage of relievers to speed things up.Marlins fans get a lot of grief for their lack of attendance in Miami, but what are the real reasons for the low turnout? Back to Machado, consider Dellin Betances among those who believe he would be a good addition for the Yankees. Going out on a limb, there!We had a trade on Wednesday that included a lot of depth pieces and low-level prospects. The mid-November hot stove is out of control.All Alex Cora did in his first season as a major-league manager was win 108 games and roll to a World Series title. Understandably, the Red Sox were impressed and gave their manager a new contract.It’s the end of an era in Minnesota with Joe Mauer retiring, and now they have to figure out what they’re going to do at first base.Bryce Harper’s play on the field gives plenty of reasons for teams to want to sign him, but they aren’t the only points of value for the superstar.There’s not a lot of positivity in Kansas City at the moment, but they can be excited about a possible star in Adalberto Mondesi. South Carolina head football coach Will Muschamp fell under scrutiny for his response when asked about voting on Election Day.For starters Black Deion Jones Jersey , this is a completely fair and timely question by Josh Kendall. This was obviously the biggest news story of the day with huge national significance. Kendall got some criticism online for asking the question in the first place, but like, come on, it’s not like he knew Muschamp would answer the way he did.But the bigger storyline here is how folks criticized Muschamp’s response to the question. A lot of the sentiments centered around as a head coach in charge of molding and influencing of young men, he should be addressing bigger issues such as voting. One of the more outspoken critics was former UNC and NFL defensive back Bucky Brooks:This was a common sentiment throughout Twitter over the next few days.But as someone who covered Muschamp for three years while at the University of Florida, I can confidently tell you I expected nothing less from his answer, too. Sure, I assumed he at least knew Nov. 6 was Election Day, but this is pretty par for the course as far as Muschamp being very much just a football coach. Once during a press conference in 2014 when asked about Northwestern football’s unionizing — at the time a pretty significant story in the news cycle — he said this: And back in 2011, he clearly was not up on Star Wars references:But here’s the big thing: it’s not like his players were completely out of the loop. Here’s Gamecock safety Steven Montac saying coaches indeed encouraged players to vote. “Whenever you get a chance just make sure you go vote the people from South Carolina. I mean, it’s kind of out of our hands people not from South Carolina to go vote Black Grady Jarrett Jersey , but he definitely told us that South Carolina people to go vote.”Linebacker TJ Brunson made it to the polls. too: And Muschamp isn’t the only head coach who claimed he wasn’t proactive in telling his players about voting, either (based on Montac’s response, Muschamp very well could’ve just been putting on a show for the media). Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt didn’t get much heat for this:Look, I understand where the Muschamp criticism is coming from — if you’re a head coach of a college football team, you’re both responsible for coaching and molding young men. That includes instilling awareness about bigger societal issues. And it’s not like Muschamp hasn’t done that — in August before the 2018, he had Brenda Tracy, a national advocate and voice on sexual assault, come in speak to his team. He also spoke to his players about the NFL protests last season, and how important free speech is in America. Should Muschamp have been a little clearer about where his team stood on Election Day? Sure. But let’s not assume one of the most player-beloved coaches in college football didn’t actually discuss the issue with his team, and let’s not act shocked if Muschamp says he’s not up on the latest news.
