And Segura drives him in with his 3rd hit of the day, bringing him up to a .318 avg.
And then Bourn drives Segura in with his 3rd hit of the day, a triple.

Yeah, it's one big popularity contest and unfortunately our fan base can't compete with teams like the Giants & Pirates or the feel good rookie story of Trevor Story.
I've also sent out a few hundred votes by now.

Anddddddd just another typical Miller implosion right after they take a lead. Miller gives up 2 runs, runners on 2nd & 3rd and still nobody out. This guy is just awful.

Now it's 4-3 DBacks. Still only 1 out and runner at 2nd.

Miller's ERA is now just a few points under 7.

And there it is...Miller gives up a 2 run HR and the Padres are now ahead 5-4.
He's the worst pitcher in baseball...by a large margin. 7.18 ERA.

Miller is terrible, truly terrible. This ain't no high powered offensive team he's facing...the Pads offense may equate to a AAA team (with the exception of Myers) but yet he's getting demolished. I dare anyone to list a pitcher who you think is having a worse season than Miller. I can't imagine you'll find anyone. Not even James Shields is this bad.
Send him to the minors for the rest of the season. Let him know that he's nothing special and that he has to work for a spot.

As you can see, based on performance Lamb is the clear choice. Unfortaunately the actual best player rarely gets in because it's just a popularity contest. Among the major categories, Lamb is #1 on 9 of them. Belt is #1 in just 2 categories but he'll still likely win. If I wanted to compare some of the advanced metrics Lamb would kill all of these guys.

One interesting note: While Ray is having a pretty bad season, he is still on pace to record 200+ strikeouts (currently has a 10.5 K/9).
One silver lining for him is that his FIP is nearly a full point less than his ERA so it's possible that down the line his ERA will continue to trend downward.
