Note: Due to unforeseen circumstances (AKA I screwed up how long it’d take me to make it), the latest Bizarre Baseball Culture has been delayed until Monday.

Yesterday’s MVP was Jon Lester, who K’d 15, gave up just one hit, and walked just two in eight innings of work in the Red Sox’s victory.

Okay, so, I made a boo-boo yesterday and forgot to post who the MVP of Yesterday for April 30 was. So, today is a twofer.

For April 30th, it’s Jesse Chavez of the Athletics. He only gave up one hit in 7 IP, striking out eight.

For yesterday, May 1, it’s Juan Uribe. He went 4-5 in the first game of the Dodgers’ double-header against the Twins, and then 1-3 with 3 walks in the second game. Getting on base that much is impressive, and good enough for MVP of Yesterday.
