MVPs of the last two days (July 28 and 29, 2015)
I was so caught up in Trade Deadline Fever that I forgot to do a MVP yesterday.
So, YESTERDAY’s MVP was Chris Archer (edging out Jon Lester). The MVP of TUESDAY was Sonny Gray.

MVP of Yesterday (July 27, 2015): Carlos Gonzalez
Will Carlos Gonzalez be the next Rockies player traded? I don’t know. But he certainly did well last night, hitting two home runs and four RBIs.

Over at @HOVG: Wisdom and Links… and also HOVG inductees!
Two things at the Hall of Very Good: There’s my latest Wisdom and Links, which looks at the most average players in history (Randy Bush! Dave Clark! The immortal Hugh High!).
In addition, the Hall of Very Good itself has added three new members: Jim Kaat, Lee Smith, and fan/celebrity entree Randy “Macho Man” Savage (who had a promising Minor League career that was cut short by injury). In addition, later this week the Glenn Burke Memorial Courage Award will be awarded.
So, make sure you check out Hall of Very Good throughout the week. Shawn and the rest of the gang has some good stuff coming.
MVPs of the Weekend (July 24, 25 and 26, 2015)
The MVPs of the weekend?
Friday’s MVP was Chris Tillman, who only gave up two hits over 7 innings but then saw the bullpen blow it.
Well, Saturday’s MVP was Cole Hamels. I mean, he threw a no-hitter. So… duh.
Sunday’s MVP was David Ortiz, who had 7 RBIs and 2 homers yesterday.

MVPs of the Last Two Days (July 22 and 23, 2015)
Whoops! Forgot to do it yesterday, so…
Wednesday’s MVP was Joey Votto, who played very well over the course of a doubleheader.
Yesterday’s MVP was Clayton Kershaw because he’s Clayton Kershaw and he’s awesome and it’s a minor miracle he didn’t no-hit that sorry excuse for a lineup the Mets have.

The Latest “Wisdom and Links” is up at @HOVG!
Aside
The latest “Wisdom and Links” is now up at Hall of Very Good. Check it out!
MVP of Yesterday (July 21, 2015): Kyle Schwarber
Recently called back up, Kyle Schwarber fell just a triple short of the cycle last night, unlike Shin-Soo Choo, who did hit for the cycle. However, Schwarber’s near-cycle had TWO home runs, including a game-tying one in the 9th and a game-winning one during extras. So he’s the MVP of Yesterday.
