It is kind of ridiculous. But it’s also kinda fun.

I mean, it's definitely ridiculous. Grown men can't have differing opinions without being insulting. There is merit to both players, I picked mine. I'm obviously wrong, because RZNJ said so, and he's kind of a big deal around here.

I’m picking Mountcastle because you can all kiss my ass. Even after he flailed away at a slider in the dirt in the 10th.

Here’s a live look in at me on my island that RZNJ banished me to because he thinks he won an argument.

I read it. You just provided some play by play recaps and your opinion. 
 

No play in the game changed the winning probability by 33.6 percentage points. Not even the game winning hit. 
 

If you can find a play in the game that statistically swung the game by 33.6 percentage points and from the Diamondbacks as favorites to us, I’d love to see it. If you can’t, that’s fine. 

Life must be nice when player of the game requires no thinking or logic.  Just look up the player whose RBI changed the win probability the most.   You should be pretty good at this in the future.

It’s really simple. Before Tony’s homer, the Diamondbacks had a 76.3% chance to win. With one swing of the bat he changed that to 57.3% in our favor. 
 

It is statistically the biggest play of the game and it’s not particularly close. You can keep trying your Billy Badass Leo Durocher wannabe schtick or you could bring some evidence to the table to refute what I just went upside your head with. 

What was the O's chance to win after Westburg's walkout hit?

Nothing says “I was wrong” quite like cigarette butts on a beach.

Can’t show any stats to back up your opinion? Sucks when that happens.

You might be with a scantily clad hottie, but you're going to die of lung cancer.

Well, he did tell us exactly what happened up to the point of Santander's HR, I mean we all watched the game so it was super helpful. Guess what, we were still losing at that point, but again. He's an important man around here and his omnipotence cannot be questioned in baseball matters.

Which one is Malike? I gotta use homosexual innuendo to make me feel like a bigger man
