Supermodel Kate Upton used a slightly shocking Twitter rant to defend fiancee Justin Verlander when the Detroit Tigers hurler was left off a couple of Cy Young ballots and kept him from winning the AL award.

One of those tweets was aimed at Verlander’s former teammate (and the 2016 AL Cy Young winner) Rick Porcello:

But earlier this week, Upton clarified to FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal that she wasn’t ripping Porcello, but she was taking aim at a flawed system:

That makes a ton of sense — voting for an award a week before the regular season ends is just a head-scratcher. A lot could change in that final week, and as NBC Sports’ Bill Baer pointed out, it sort of did:

In Verlander’s final two starts, he pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts against the Indians, then pitched seven innings of one-run ball with eight strikeouts against the Braves, lowering his season ERA to 3.04. Porcello gave up six runs in 12 1/3 innings in his final two starts, causing his ERA to rise to 3.15.

Is it possible Upton could help make a change in the voting process? Now that would be something.
