‘MLB IS SET UP!’ – Kodai Senga Out of Top 5 Cy Youngs Despite Leading ERA: Angry Mets Fans Call for MLB Boycott!
Controversy Explodes as Kodai Senga Gets Snubbed in Cy Young Rankings
In what’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about controversies of the MLB season, New York Mets ace Kodai Senga has been shockingly left out of the Top 5 in the latest Cy Young projections—despite boasting one of the league’s best ERAs.
The snub has ignited outrage across Mets Nation, with fans, analysts, and even former players calling foul on what they describe as a rigged system designed to keep East Coast stars out of the spotlight.
“MLB is set up to push their favorites. What more does Senga have to do?” one furious fan tweeted.
Leading ERA, Elite Numbers – No Recognition?
Senga, known for his electric “ghost fork” pitch and unshakable presence on the mound, has been a statistical powerhouse this season. At the time of the rankings’ release, he led the National League in ERA and had racked up multiple quality starts against top-tier teams.
Senga’s Key Stats:
- ERA: 1st in the NL
- WHIP: Among the Top 3
- Strikeouts: Top 10
- Opponent Batting Avg: Elite
Yet somehow, he was nowhere to be found in the official Top 5 Cy Young candidate list.
“This isn’t just a snub. This is a statement by MLB—and it’s the wrong one,” said a frustrated Mets beat reporter.
Mets Fans Erupt: #BoycottMLB Trends on X
Within minutes of the rankings dropping, #BoycottMLB began trending across X (formerly Twitter), with thousands of Mets fans voicing their frustration and calling out the league for alleged favoritism and “media bias.”
“If he wore a Dodgers jersey, he’d be No. 1 on every list.”
“Senga is getting the Jacob deGrom treatment all over again.”
Some fans even threatened to stop attending games or cancel MLB.TV subscriptions, unless the league reconsiders its evaluation process.
Analysts Weigh In: Is Senga Being Underrated?
Not all criticism is coming from fans. A number of national analysts and former MLB players are also questioning the credibility of the voting system.
“Look at the numbers, not the names,” said ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian. “Senga is dominating. Period.”
“The guy’s putting up Cy Young-level stats. You don’t punish him because he’s not a media darling,” said former All-Star pitcher Dontrelle Willis.
Others suggest that Senga’s international background and “quiet professionalism” may not fit the narrative-driven, hype-heavy voting structure that often rewards flash over fundamentals.
Is This a Pattern for the Mets?
This isn’t the first time Mets players have faced high-profile snubs. From Pete Alonso’s All-Star omissions to Jeff McNeil’s overlooked batting titles, Mets fans are convinced there’s a deeper bias at play.
“It’s like the league wants us to be second best—no matter how well we play,” one longtime fan wrote on Reddit.
What’s Next for Senga and the Mets?
For his part, Kodai Senga has remained silent, staying focused and humble as always. But insiders say the fire is burning behind the scenes—and the team could use the slight as motivation to go on a second-half tear.
“He won’t say it out loud,” said one Mets coach, “but trust me—he’s pissed. And that’s bad news for opposing hitters.”
Conclusion: A League in the Hot Seat
As fan fury grows and the league stays silent, MLB faces serious questions about transparency and fairness. Kodai Senga’s exclusion isn’t just a debate about rankings—it’s becoming a symbol of the larger frustrations fans feel toward a system that too often ignores performance in favor of politics.
If this is a setup, as Mets Nation believes, then the backlash might just be getting started.
