In 5 of 6 divisions, the run differential leader also leads the division. Then there's the AL West ...

Wow. Kind of surprised to see that the Angels' run diff is positive.

Crazy that there are three teams with better run diffs that are below the Rangers in the standings.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

And yes blame miggy. How dare he have a off season. First one in his career.

*2nd one. In a row.

*2nd one. In a row.

Last year was an off year for Cabrera in power only. (18 HR, though he missed 6 weeks.) He still won his 4th AL batting title despite playing on one good leg for much of the year.

He's already surpassed last year's HR total. I fully expect a .300/30 HR season still.

As of 7/22, the Indians' run differential sits at +95.

Putting that into perspective, the Royals' run differential at the end of the 2015 season was +83.

I'm just gonna wait for it to correct itself. Like Bauers ERA.

Aww Hells Naw!

Could be.

His ERA is right about where it was in the minors, though, and he was a highly touted prospect. Wouldn't be the first time a SP had their breakout season at 25 years old.

I'm tallinbough this seasons ERA.

Working its way back up out of the trough.

Seems like a nice day for the Os to score some runs, to me.

What?

 

[dougplayer]

Meh

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Meh

Detroit sports sucks. No Championships. UofM too.

You sure? Jimbo khaki pants is going to school urban this year. Wolverines are ranked #2 to win it all. Only alabama has shorter odds. Urban gets exposed this year

You're predictions are usually wrong. Didn't you say your Tigers would take care of the Twins during their most recent 3 game series? Another swing & a miss from you!

No championships for your shitty teams.

I'd bet you on that Wolverine bullshit, but I know you don't have the balls for that.

 

[dougplayer]

Sure I will bet on wolverines. Even with that tough schedule. Almost a patty cake suckered schedule

 

[Iffster]

Excuse me doug. Could you point me to the article that ranks Michigan #2 for the coming season. I can't find it. The only #2 rating I could find was a Vegas sports book that put Michigan #2 behind OSU, in betting action, of all Big Ten teams. I will admit that UM has several preseason polls that place them in the top 12, but I did not see one that placed them #2. Could you tell us where you saw that?

 

[dougplayer]

Just like the school ratings. The one you said money magazine wasn't a good magazine. Look harder iffy. Cant always lead you by the nose

 

[dougplayer]

Two.



Given the crapshootidity of the playoffs, who knows. What I do know is that almost 2/3rds into the 2016 season, the Indians have been a fuckload better than the Tigers on both sides of the ball.

Two? 1920. And 1948. Right after the war. You could call it a war ring. So none in your life time slinky...ever.

 

[dougplayer]

Indians getting a butt whipping right now by the Os. Is this the beginning of the end???

No Detroit teams have any championships.

Maybe so. Do me a favor and predict it.
