This is set to go up as October begins, and so this will be the final MVP of Yesterday. But what a way to go out, as David Price proved me right by throwing a complete game victory over the Rangers in Game 163.
So, with that, the MVP of Yesterday is at an end for 2013. The final standings are below the jump, and Miguel Cabrera won it all…
but come back throughout October as we look for MR. OCTOBER 2013!
Due to all of the games ending early, I’m going to call the MVP of Yesterday…. a day early. The MVP of Today, if you will. And, well, you can probably guess who it is: Henderson Alvarez. Y’know, with the no-hitter.
Now, this would normally be the last MVP of Yesterday, what with it being the last day of the season. But, guess what! Tomorrow is a Game 163 tie-breaker, and that means that we’ve got one more MVP of Yesterday coming.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
In his final start, Andy Pettitte had a complete game, giving up only five hits and one earned run. That makes him the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as usual, after the jump:
Cliff Lee threw a 3-hitter and had 13 strikeouts, but one of the three hits he gave up was a home run to Chris Johnson, causing him to lose a 1-0 squeaker to the Braves (of course, the Phillies hitting for him could have helped him avoid this- but Kris Medlen only gave up two hits, although he “only” had 7 Ks). Still, he’s the MVP of Yesterday, and the standings are after the jump:
Jason Heyward went 5-5 with a HR yesterday, becoming the MVP of… well, Yesterday.
Standings, as usual, under the jump:
Kyle Lohse had a complete-game shutout, which is one of those ways that instantly make you a good MVP of Yesterday candidate.
Standings, as usual, under the jump:
He was just a weird bounce away from a no-hitter, of course Michael Wacha is the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as usual, after the jump:
With apologies to his teammate Derek Holland, Alex Rios– who cycled last night- is the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as usual, after the jump:
Well, as I said, I wasn’t able to post much (at all) over the weekend, but I can tell you that Friday’s MVP was Jordan Zimmermann, Saturday’s was Alex Cobb, and yesterday (Sunday) would have been Oswaldo Arcia (who had 6 RBI in a Twins loss).
Standings, as usual, after the jump:
Hanley Ramirez went 4-5 and had two home runs and 4 RBIs in the Dodgers’ NL West-clinching victory yesterday over Arizona, making him the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings after the jump.
Note: Due to family obligations, there might not be MVP of Yesterday posts every day this weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience, I will make sure that I write down who would be the MVP somewhere.
