Dusty’s Musings…

Dusty Writes argues that New York Yankees pitchers Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon still have time to overcome past postseason struggles and win a World Series, pointing to historic turnarounds by players such as David Price, Clayton Kershaw, and manager Dusty Baker. The writer also suggests that Giancarlo Stanton could potentially mirror Kyle Schwarber's 2016 playoff heroics despite a limited regular season.

Additionally, the article discusses Major League Baseball award criteria, endorsing Aaron Judge's view that pitchers should not win Most Valuable Player awards since they have the Cy Young Award. The writer defends Mickey Cochrane's 1934 MVP victory over Triple Crown winner Lou Gehrig due to Cochrane's extensive responsibilities as a player-manager, and criticizes MLB's current postseason seeding format.
