A.L. Central Smack 2015

[SlinkyRedfoot]

16-17 wins, ERA back down in the mid- to upper-3's, WHIP back down to about 1.20, walks down, strikeouts up.

I wouldn't argue that.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

And I don't think the fan outside Detroit, who doesn't watch this guy go to work every fifth day, knows the type of competitor JV is.

One thing I've definitely seen is the look on Verlander's face when someone takes him deep. It's like "Doesn't he know I'm Justin Verlander?!?!" I love that shit.

 

[dougplayer]

ok slinky.

when Verlander tops 20 wins this season...
you can spin it any way you want....

nut remember...the player called it! and you know iam not a homer..just ask these guys... its just seeing the game

 

[dougplayer]

ESPN.....aka the main source of 90% if the posters here.....put up a stat.
most pitching and most games and innings.
any one close was Darvish..he has a sore arm now.
even when Verlander had major core surgery..he wasn't ready to pitch..BUT he did!!! still won just a few shirt of 20.
NOW that he is in much better shape...you think he wont be the stud he was. ???? only that lefty out in LA will be better this year.

Heh, I am glad I am not the only one who noticed that.

Which might be heavily attributed to having the second best run support in all of baseball??

Doug, can you find one post in the history of your posting that says one negative thing about any Detroit sport team not named Sparty?

 

[gandydancer]

I did see him pick on some Lions. One was Raiola so that does not really count.

So I am guessing the other 2400 are homer

 

[dougplayer]

please... iam NOT a Lions homer. they must win a PLAYOFF game before I jump on that bandwagon.you noticed I didn't care if we lost SUH... we can continue to NOT win PLAY OFF games with out him.

as for sparty......that's a hate from the cradle!! and iam taking that hate to the grave.

 

[dougplayer]

what some of you don't realize...Verlander has 1 of the biggest EGOs in the game.
he loves being one of the best pitchers. he wants to be back on top so bad.
never count him out. he is healthy now... he will win over 20 this year.

 

[bksballer89]

And if he doesn't? What would your lam excuse be?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Verlander is SHIT

 

[Erie Warrior]

He can win 20 games, as long as they don't come against the Tribe.

 

[broncosmitty]

Yo Dougie,

What kind of property taxes you payin' on this thread?

(The man is a master of his craft...)

 

[broncosmitty]

Lions have won zero playoff games, division titles, and Super Bowls with Matt Stafford. Maybe they should let him go.

Can we get Suh back if we let Haley Joe go?

Cuz Id be all about that.

 

[gvsulaker82]

JVS nt going to top 20 wins this year. I do expect him to be an adequate two though.

 

[gvsulaker82]

Pitchers that will be better than JV this season. Hernandez, price, sale, scherzer, strasburg, kershaw, bumgarner, wainwright, kluber, cueto, greinke, tanaka, ryu, lynn, ventura, gallardo, shoemaker, duffy, pineda, gray, lester, zimmerman, gonzalez, minor, cole, teheran, harvey, cashner. Just to name a few. JV will be in the top 50 but to say only kershaw is going to be better is ridiculous. JVS velocity is not what it used to be. Theres more than one player and pitcher in the league as competitive as him.

 

[dougplayer]

oh GVS..we are going to come back to this page....... this is the most dumbafied post I ever read.Kluber coundnt carry JVs sun flower seed bag. even though youposted a lot of NL pitchers...every one know NL is filled with weak hitters. yup page 10 is going to give us a laugh in the dog days..bet you 10 bucks Cueto is on the DL..
