Tim KurkjianGUEST
My forehead's become a five head and it's not getting any better.
Darren SmithHOST
2022 Career Excellence Award by the Baseball Writers Association of America for all of the contributions to coverage of Major League Baseball throughout the years.
Darren SmithHOST
You can find them part of the Felt Territory Network.
Darren SmithHOST
Is this a great game or what? He is the legend, Tim Kirchhen, who's joining us today on Friar Territory.
Mike WilnerHOST
So you will hear on this podcast sometime in October who the Blue Jays have chosen to win all those awards.
Mike WilnerHOST
And of course, the Toronto chapter of the Baseball Writers Association gives out those same awards.
Mike WilnerHOST
Louis Varland as MVP is pretty interesting, I have to tell you, and I wonder how many will vote for him.
Mike WilnerHOST
We'll find out in the next couple weeks.
Kevin WeissHOST
Then number two, it really should be Junior.
Kevin WeissHOST
And as far as getting some of those trickle-down votes, if you will, we have to remember that the BBWAA, the Baseball Writers Association of America, say that five times fast, not easy, uh, they vote on the MVP award.
Kevin WeissHOST
So never underestimate the variance, the uncertainty, the unpredictability of all voters, but especially voters and writers in the BBWAA.
Kevin WeissHOST
And, and I think there's some things working in Junior's favor.
Kevin WeissHOST
The fact that he really could play all 162 games.
Kevin WeissHOST
I mean, Drew Rasmussen, he might not be a favorite for the Cy Young, but a strong finish could push him up some ballots.
Kevin WeissHOST
Kevin Cash could win that third AL Manager of the Year award.
Kevin WeissHOST
And then Bryan Baker is absolutely going to receive consideration for the BBWAA's first AL Reliever of the War, uh, of the Year award.
Lindsey NelsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Cardinals, of course, are the defending world champions.
Lindsey NelsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Right now on the field, Leonard Coppett, chairman of the Baseball Writers Association of America New York Chapter, is presenting the Babe Ruth Award to Cardinal pitcher Bob Gibson.
Lindsey NelsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Bob was warming up, and he stopped warming up to walk over now and take the plaque from Leonard Coppett.
Lindsey NelsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As you know, last year, Bob Gibson won two games and lost one for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Kelvin WashingtonHOST
Never.
Rob GPANELIST
Only BBW recognize the BBWAA.
Rob GPANELIST
All praise to Yah.
Rob GPANELIST
Shout out to Yahweh.
Phil RizzutoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And this will be your first chance to see such former Dodger favorites as Gil Hodges, Duke Snyder, Charlie Neal, and the highly regarded newcomers like Frank Howard, Norm Locker, and Brooklyn Mag Tom Davis.
Phil RizzutoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Before the game, the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers Association will honor 1959 World Series star Larry Sherry when they present him with the Babe Ruth Award as the Outstanding Player of the Last World Series.
Phil RizzutoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The Yankees' share of the receipts will be turned over to the promotion and development of Sandlot Baseball in the greater New York area, and the Dodgers' share also will be designated for charity.
Phil RizzutoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There is great interest in this game between all rivals, so we suggest you buy your tickets now.
Kurt GowdySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
An error has been charged to Al White.
Kurt GowdySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The scorers today are Dick Young, New York Daily News, who's president of the Baseball Writers Association, Lou Hatter of the Baltimore Sun, and Joe Durso of the New York Times.
Kurt GowdySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And they score by committees.
Kurt GowdySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In other words, each gives a decision.
Peyton GenisPANELIST
in potential labor talks? Because they're-- How can you say you're crying poor when the Angels just broke the record for, like, a franchise sale and the Padres did so?
Aram LeightonHOST
It's a great point because that's one of the things when I was at the b- Baseball Writers Association dinner and, and you had, you had the PA speaking and then you ha- y- you heard from Rob Manfred, um, i- i- I was hoping there'd be more follow-up and conversation about that.
Aram LeightonHOST
But even just in, in, in some of the, the general conversation is owners seem to be citing that, uh, in a lot of the reports that we've heard is that, "Hey, y- our franchise values aren't wh- you know, where, where we want them to be.
Aram LeightonHOST
They're not appreciating at the same rate as some of these other sports." It definitely pokes a hole in their argument there.
Patrick LyonsHOST
Then again, those are two franchises with very deep and storied histories, so it's going to be hard to set those kind of franchise marks.
Patrick LyonsHOST
But still, it's almost a shame we don't have the entire, I don't want to say the offseason, but how about through the World Series to finalize the votes? Those of us in the BBWAA who vote on Reliever of the Year, which is new this year, Manager of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young Award, and MVP.
Patrick LyonsHOST
Because sometimes it takes a little while to realize some of these things.
Patrick LyonsHOST
Our votes, I believe, have to be in not noon, but almost like the next day after the final day of the regular season.
