Christian Yelich did not win MVP last night. That sucks. You would have loved to see a player repat here in the City of Milwaukee. It is very hard to win back-to-back MVPs in the National League. Yelich tried hard and made a compelling case throughout the year. The MLB voters decided to give it to Cody Bellinger. More to come on why I think the reason they gave it to Bellinger was superficial. Milwaukee Brewers Twitter account posted a video featuring a Yelich highlight reel with the hashtag #ThisIsStillMyMVP. That looks like extreme sour grapes from the Brewers, and something we, as Milwaukee sports fans, got mad at the Houston Rockets for doing a few months ago.

It is weird they put this out too when Yelich congratulated Bellinger on Instagram with a nice comment. All that was needed to be said was ‘Congratulations to Cody Bellinger, let’s look back on Yelich’s year.’ Something along those lines makes much sense to me than being combative with the baseball writers. Bucks fans railed on Houston for doing something similar in June. If you think there’s a difference here, you’re wrong. It is the exact same thing the Rockets did that we all got mad about.

I like that social accounts have some fun and get in on the action yet they do not have to be unabashed homers of the team.
