2019 ALDS MVP: Omaha v. New York

The 2019 Stroh's ALDS MVP Award goes to....

SP JOAQUIN HERNANDEZ, OMA.  Round of Applause.

Joaquin Hernandez was brought to Omaha this past offseason to do one thing, be the Wolverine ACE. Hernandez had no problem living up to that billing in the series against New York. He set the tone of the series in Game 1 by going 8 strong innings, giving up 3 ER and striking out 10! Omaha ended up winning 6-3 that game and then proceeded on to win Game 2 and 3, giving them a 3-0 run. Amazingly, Omaha couldn't put the steel tipped boot points to the jugular of the 5 Points. New York took Games 4 and 5 to make the series very uncomfortable for GM Mike Gilmore an d MA Frankie Patterson. Of course, who else to call on for a Game 6 with everything on the line? Joaquin Hernandez showed extreme perseverance and gumption. Hernandez again went 8 innings and led Omaha to a series win and he claimed his 2nd W in the postseason. Sad to be in Omaha rather than Indianapolis, J-H-Dez? Well here's some Stroh's by the case and some plastic beer cups for your amusement.
