Evan Longoria Had a Really Good Day.

One fastball right down the middle, one fastball parked into the left-center seats.

After taking a curveball at 73 on the outside corner, Vasquez hung a 63 mph curveball high on the outer part of the plate. 420 feet or so later, Vasquez knew he had made a mistake.

One slider: Ball

Two Slider: Ball

Three Slider: Right in the crush zone

Four Slider: Slider with the least vertical  "rise" gets singles up the middle.

Some help from the umps ensures Longoria's Postseason OBP at 1.000. 

Overall, Longoria is kind of good, and the second player to hit two home runs in his first two playoff at-bats after Gary Gaetti.

Personally I found the MVP chants a little bit too much

But he is our best player. By far. And it isn’t even close.

The truth is if you want a MVP based on the writers then perhaps it is someone else. But if you want the true most valuable player in major league baseball it is none other than Evan Longoria. He transformed this team. And he is leading this team. That is value.

Couldn't have said it better myself

I saw Keith Law had him as 10th, too bad post-season can’t be factored in.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

He absolutely did

I am just green with envy and wishing we had someone of his caliber on the Giants.

Eugeniooooooo!!!!

Apparently Sabean wants Sabathia. plus Posey in a few years.

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

We have so many MVPS

I disagree with you guys a bit.

This team really is about the many MVPs we have. Balfour, Longoria, Pena. All of them. Monsters. Play down the MOST valuable player stuff, because we are a team of upstarts, not Pedroia’s—thankfully.
