Still no. Markakis is at 25 WAR, 17 of which accrued through his first five seasons.
Molitor had 67 WAR
Roger Cormier
7:49
The Brewers have just won
their perfect year remains possible
Andrew

Roger is actually former Cardinal and Philly pitcher Rheal Cormier
Roger Cormier
7:50
Nobody ever brings up Lance Cormier. It's always Rheal, even though he was a lefty and everybody knows I am not.
a lefty

this seems like a good time to mention that i've had a community piece arguing for Davidson's breakout this year pending for a while
John Jaso Jingle Heimer Schmidt
7:50
The Giants defense isn't talked about enough.
Sheryl Ring
7:50
AND, Markakis has been a below average hitter three of the past five years. After his rookie year, Molitor didn't do that in a full season until the last two years of his career.
Roger Cormier
7:50
Would a D-FENCE chant suffice?
Bernie Brewer
7:51
Brewers win!
Roger Cormier
7:51
or do they lose?

Sterling said he called Berlitz Language Center and talked to an Italian master about the pronunciation. The result: “Giancarlo, non si può de stoparlo! It is a Stantonian home run.”

“No one will understand it,” Sterling said of the call he broke out when Stanton went deep in his first at-bat as a Yankee in the top of the first on Thursday against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. “I hope it works.”

I've noticed something: batters attack Kershaw early in the count, and Kershaw often gets a lot of innings because he doesn't get a big pitch count.

Is there a reason they don't try and take him to longer counts?
Roger Cormier
7:54
i'm guessing because kershaw throws first pitch strikes a lot?
Sheryl Ring
7:54
Roger Cormier
7:54
and then you're behind 0-1 on Clayton Kershaw
Guest
7:55
He becomes much harder to hit when you're down in the count later in the AB
Jeff

I pity the yankee fans that spend their lives listening to John Sterling. We might not have the ringz and the glory, but at least we have Gary, Keith and Ron.
Roger Cormier
7:55
I...kind of would like some of the ringz
Moltar
7:56
Kershaw is Good
Roger Cormier
7:56
funny looking home run
Hingle McCringleberry
7:56
I'd rather get out after Kershaw throws 4-5 pitches than when he throws 1-2.
Sheryl Ring
7:57
I imagine most hitters would. Unfortunately, Kershaw's command is such that if you stand there while three pitches go by, there's a decent chance you're out.
Tyler Flowers
7:57
Kershaw was clogging the bases ...
Jkim

I just had Vietnam like flashbacks when they played that world series montage as a dodger fan
Roger Cormier
7:58
it was weird that they used "All Along The Watchtower"...
Randy
7:58
MLBTV *keeps* playing World Series montages. It's awful.

Mike Trout 0 - 6
Roger Cormier
7:58
of course. i picked him for MVP.
Sheryl Ring
7:58
The Orioles have had three straight opening day walk-offs, apparently
Roger Cormier
7:59
that's pretty cool
Randy
8:00
Trout only went 0-6 three times last year.
Roger Cormier
8:00
that's three times more than i would have guessed
Carson Cistulli Sabathia
8:00
Roger picking Trout was his only orthodox pick
Roger Cormier
8:00
I think I picked Acuna for rookie of the year
Tyler Flowers
8:00
I picked Markakis for MVP. Feeling pretty good right now.
Sheryl Ring
8:01
Don't worry. By September, Trout will be hitting .400/.550/.850 with 65 homers and 70 steals, and have gone sixty straight games without a strikeout.
Roger Cormier
8:01
You probably feel better than Tyler Flowers right now
