Goldy has a .406 average with 11 bombs and 12 doubles in May.
It's only 10 HR's according to MLB.com whose stats are up to date and include the game that is going on now, where Gallegos just wasted Wainwrights 7 scoreless innings by allowing a double and a HR to allow the Padres to tie the game.

It's Shoeless Joe Jackson.

They could give us an even more dominant Josh Hader

Betts.
WAR - 2.6 (1st)
AVG - .355
HR - 12 (T-1st)
RBI - 27
RUNS - 31 (1st)
K% - 14.5%He bats leadoff, so his low K% is important, and to have 27 RBIs for that spot is excellent. He has played gold glove level defense including several assists. No "love from SDS" is needed, he has earned it. His 95 card [should] have nothing to do with this.

So the POTM award is basically a "participation trophy" for those who do not have great cards yet...and which the best performer is not allowed to get [another] award. SMH

I'm not saying that Betts doesn't deserve it, but giving Mookie a 95 POTM card when he already has a 95 card is dumber than Rizzo getting April's card. Betts being the "best" performer over goldy is quite debatable too.

I mean I could probably throw darts at names and have a better chance if guessing it right, I just know that it won't be Mookie or Judge

Kinda, yeah. I'm no great fan of SDS this year, but c'mon man -- they don't have a crystal ball. They have to balance who deserves a PotM with who already has high diamond cards. Lots of things to "SMH" at SDS about, but this isn't one of them.

Them not wanting to release what would essentially be another 95 overall card for him is a better reason than those saying Goldschmidt won't get it because last month's lightning card was a 1B and they won't release two in a row.

Might as well give it to goldy. This game has lacked anything worthy of getting excited about, why start now?

Is he not deserving? Who would you give it to, assuming it will be a 94 or 95 overall?

I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve it, he has had the best month. Im saying that it would be another boring program for another firstbaseman. That being said I don't see how he doesn't get it. It will either be him or a pitcher.

Sounds like perfect Month for a pitcher. Devers would be fun though

It's obviously Nick Plummer.

Story or Trea Turner? Both have had good months even if not as good as your guys you listed in op.
I don't know how people keep putting Story's name out there. He is batting .227 for the month of May. Goldschmidt has 2 more HRs and the same number of RBIs and is batting .406
Turner is a possibility to get a card because of the streak but I don't think he has done enough to be lightning.
I don't think he is deserving but neither was Rizzo last month. SDS has set the bar pretty low. Basically if you hit a bunch of HR or get tons of RBIs you can win, batting average does not matter to them. Meanwhile a middle infielder would be much more popular than another slow firstbaseman. Goldy is most deserving but that does not mean SDS will take the obvious choice.
