Why not? Anyone playing better?
Hey hey i called it
You did.....credit is due.
As a fan of Rizzo and his card I'm excited. As a fan of the game, this is not a good pick. There were several players far better than Rizzo this last month and many of them may never get a high diamond unless they keep it up: Logan Gilbert, Pablo Lopez, Ty France, CJ Cron, JP Crawford, Eric Hosmer and on and on.
Rizzo is hitting .242.
theh lile to go with the guy whos name everyone knows as they belive he will apeal to more people Hence more ppl buy stubs from them haha

Oh for sure. I like Rizzo so I'll enjoy the card. But he most certainly wasn't the best player of the month or even in the top 10.

Not selecting Jose Ramirez, The American League Player of the Month btw, and picking a NY favorite is absolute pandering. It reeks of ESPN type bias.

Did they really ignore 3 out of 4 of the players who won the actual April Awards. While I did not expect cards for Arenado or J-Ram based on their live card ratings they could have at least thrown a moment in there for them. If I am not mistaken we had two Rizzo moments added.

If they picked JRam, he'd basically be getting a duplicate of his LS card. Same reason they didn't pick Arenado or Machado. Of course JRam and Nado were the best players of the month, but they already have 90+ diamond cards and the first POTM is getting a 92.

Jose Ramirez was never going to get a card. Neither was Arenado. Their live cards are already 90+ at this point. There were a other choices above Rizzo but most of them were already Diamonds (Arenodo, J-Ram, Trout, Lindor) or have diamond FOTF cards (Edman, Franco).
And lets face it people love power in this game, hence Rizzo got the nod.

Plus Rizzo looks like Trout....so he's basically Trout. And everyone loves Trout. Oh wait, is that Renfroe?

Rizzo is hitting .242.
Batting average isn't everything. As of this moment (5/5/22) he's batting .242/.355/.582 with a OPS of .938 and an OPS+ of 175 along with 9 HRs. France has a higher OPS+ but isn't batting as good in the other categories. I think the only player who you named that deserves it more would be JP. That man is having a monster year so far and has Rizzo beat in every stat but HRs with less ABs.

I agree batting average is not everything, certainly not in this era. Did you know the last person to hit over .350 was Josh Hamilton in 2010!!!!!! That's sad.
But I digress. Logan Gilbert certainly deserves this with a 4-0 and 0.68 ERA. Buuuuut, chicks dig the long ball and it can be said the energy behind the Yankees great first month (and strong finish during the regular season last year) is Rizzo. Plus he looks like Mike Trout....and Hunter Renfroe.

SDS also hates Seattle players not named Julio Rodriguez or Jared Kelenic
