Well, that was awhile. My computer crashed while I was on vacation, leaving me unable to do all of the MVPs of Yesterday from the 13th to the 23rd. Needless to say, to go back day-by-day would be a time-consuming folly, but thankfully, Sully over at MLB reports does something somewhat similar to “MVP of Yesterday”, called “Who Owned Baseball”. He’s given me permission to use his picks* as research to help to me retroactively give MVPs of Yesterday, for which I am very grateful. So, pay him a solid if you are reading this and go check out MLB Reports. They’ve got some good stuff over there.
So, without further adieu, here are the MVPs from when I was gone:
8-13: Mitch Moreland
8-14: Matt Kemp (the first cycle in Padres history)
8-15: Jackie Bradley Jr.
8-16: Madison Bumgarner
8-17: Brian McCann
8-18: Curtis Granderson
8-19: Jesse Chavez
8-20: Chris Archer
8-21: Mike Fiers (No-Hitter… so duh)
8-22: Paul Goldschmidt
8-23: Clayton Kershaw (seriously, what were they thinking pulling him?)
Standings, as always, after the jump, and thanks again to Sully!
*(He picks multiple WOB winners, including half-winners for people who were good in losing efforts, while I just pick one every day and it’s full credit even if they were in a losing effort)
