Tight voting with multiple good candidates.
#Brewers Craig Counsell had more first-place votes but is edged for NL manager of year by 7 points by St. Louis' Mike Shildt.

well I have no problem with shildt getting the nod with a challenged lineup. counsel did a great job down the stretch after their best player went down so I can see him getting lots of votes.
Only three of the 30 voters left Shildt off their ballots. 1sts, 2nds and 3rds shown below.
1⃣ Mike Shildt 10 14 3
2⃣ Craig Counsell 13 6 5
3⃣ Brian Snitker 3 6 12
4⃣ Dave Roberts 4 1 2
5⃣ Dave Martinez – 3 6
6⃣ Torey Lovullo – – 2 pic.twitter.com/p2Z3Uah1AK— MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM (@MLBNetworkRadio) November 12, 2019
The three voters who left SHildt off were: Matthew Leach (MLB.com), Sam Miller (ESPN), and Will Graves (AP).
Cardinals’ Mike Shildt wins tight race for NL Manager of the Year honors
As others have stated, Shildt was deserving of this award. So was Counsell. Sometimes its a shame that there can only be one winner.

I am convinced that the 4 game sweep of the Cubs in Chicago was what won it for Mike. I remember who votes on this…2 writers from every NL team.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he won this award more than once. Shildt made winning a team effort for his entire coaching staff rather than trying to do it all himself.
Good on Shildty. It’d be nice to see what he could do with a more well-rounded roster. I bet he’d really mess up some poor fools. 😉 It’s nice for him to have a little sweet to go with the bitter he is no doubt tasting.
I figured there would be a strong push for Counsell given they didn’t seem like a playoff caliber team, especially after Yelich went down.
Verlander edges out Cole in the AL.
DeGrom wins his 2nd straight in the NL.
Jack Fletcher finished 4th or 5th I believe.

And my $$$ is on Bellinger in the NL and Bregman in the AL for the MVP award.
Wait, what did I just hear? Was that a drum, or bang, or something?
