Someone explain to me why Bryce Harper is getting so much MVP buzz

[DragonFromTo]

I definitely saw Riley the most, but watched Harper and Soto a significant amount. Didn’t see much of the other candidates(Goldschmidt, Crawford and Tatis). Soto scares me more than Harper.

That's a lot of games to have to keep straight in your head in order to provide extra/full context for the overall numbers.

Do you think there could have been some small amount of bias affecting your observations as well?

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

This is true too. I get why the players care about it but I don't really understand why we do. The player's contributions to the team and our enjoyment were the same regardless of the vote and we don't personally get a trophy.

That’s very true, but it’s still nice when a player on the home team gets one. And what I’ve discounted is the possibility of a pitching winning MVP. Corbin Burnes has an argument too

How did you get the tilde to show up?

On my phone when I’m on here….I just hold down on the n and it give me options, including an n with a tilde

Without a doubt. Recency bias too. I probably am putting too much weight on Harper coming up so small in his biggest series of the season.

Pitchers have their own award.

They only play every 5 days.

I agree 100%, but they have won before, recently too.

Yeah because bbwa are clowns.

First player to ever be unanimously inducted into the HOF being a closer is a joke.

I hit the little “globe” button, bottom left. Shifts me to a Spanish keyboard.

Which is still QWERTY, but with ñ at the end of the second row.

I had to get my coworker to show me how to get my calendar to show up in calendar form when I was putting in my vacation time for my South Dakota bird hunting trip the other day. I’m retarded with technology(and most other things too)

 

[Fish]

Fuck Tilde whoever she is and fuck a bunch of messicans wanting walmart squigglies put above their names.

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

I don’t have the globe button and when I hold down the n, the option shows up, but it goes away whenever I take my thumb off the button and doesn’t give me the chance to select the tilde

A calendar comes in forms other than calendar?

It doesn't work on a rotary dial phone.

When you click on the calendar button on my phone, it just brings up a list of holidays.

I had to add it. There are dozens and dozens of other language options too.

Not that I remember how I added it. Prolly had the help of some little Guatemalan fingers tbh.

That sounds like a good calendar. No Tuesdays, only observed Mondays.

Works most of the time, just not in that specific scenario, which is probably why I never tried to figure it out before

How did you get the tilde to show up?

Pro tip 1: If you're using a standard full-sized keyboard in Windows: hold ALT, type 0241 on the number pad, release ALT [or ALT+0241] = ñ

Pro tip 2: Many special characters have an ALT+#### shortcut in Windows. If you're using Microsoft Word in Windows, go to "Symbols", find the special character you're looking for, single-click it to select it, then look at the foot of the Symbols window to see the shortcut key assigned to that character. There are also online cheat sheets available such as Alt Codes List of Alt Key Codes Symbols.

I'm unaware of special character shortcuts on cellphones.
