Can PCA, who hit three pounds yesterday,
supplant Ohtani as the best player in the National League?
He may not be the overall best player,
but he may be having the best season
on what he's doing this year.
George Kurtz joins us now.
Is that a possibility that we're looking at this cubby here
that could be the National League MVP, George?
He's having a fantastic season.
And my apologies, by the way,
to any Met fans that are listening here and watching now.
The ex-Met prospect there.
My problem is this, all right?
Is he the best offensive player
in the National League this year?
No doubt.
All of baseball, right?
No doubt.
You're now ready to make an argument
as far as the American League's concerned.
My problem's going to be this, Stan.
Are we forgetting that Ohtani,
I know he's not pitching now,
but that he pitched the first three months of the season
and it was damn good.
So young good.
We're sort of forgetting about that
because he hasn't pitched in a month.
All right, so, I mean, when healthy,
it doesn't matter if PCA's offensive numbers
are better than Ohtani's.
We just can't discount his pitching stats.
So I think right now, I would still vote Ohtani.
That being said, if PCA keeps this up
and Ohtani does not pitch again till the postseason,
or only makes one other start,
you and I can have a different conversation in a month here.
I might switch my vote over to PCA,
but right now I'd probably give it 60-40, still Ohtani.
