Kate Upton Drops Vulgar Tweet After Justin Verlander Doesn’t Win Cy Young

Each writer votes for five players.

Detroit Tigers Justin Verlander throws in a multiple exposure against the Boston Red Sox.

What hurt Verlander’s chances the most was that two voters completely left him off of their ballots. Chicago teammate Kyle Hendricks came in third with two first-place votes.

Clearly, Porcello was understandably too busy celebrating his much-deserved win to care what Upton or the Verlanders or anyone thought about the voting.

Scherzer drew 25 of the 30 first-place votes.

Nice job, Rick Porcello; a win one for the little guy. Of the 13 pitchers that were voted on by the BBWAA, 10 have been enshrined in Cooperstown.

Porcello won the award despite finishing with fewer first-place votes than Verlander (14 vs. 8) largely because he was on 18 second-place ballots, while Verlander was second on just two.

No, Kate, I can’t explain it, either. She asked for Major League Baseball to fire the writers who left Verlander of their ballots completely.

Red Sox right-hander Rick Porcello was mere decimal places ahead of Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander in Fangraphs.com’s Wins Above Replacement, with both of them rounded to 5.2. Neither did Fred Goodall of the AP in Tampa Bay.

Cubs slugger Kris Bryant, Washington’s Daniel Murphy and newly presented Rookie of the Year Corey Seager of the Dodgers are up for the NL award.

The New York Daily News caught up with Chastein, who said he did the “best he could”. Kluber probably would have gotten my vote, but I’m open to the possibility that I’m biased.

Other American League pitchers receiving votes were Chris Sale, J.A. Happ, Aaron Sanchez, Masahiro Tanaka, Andrew Miller, Michael Fulmer and Jose Quintana. But the complete exclusion of Verlander by both makes little sense.

Votes are subjective, differences of opinion expected.
