2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[Wamu]

My biggest hope for this Baseball Season????

That I find out WHAT numbers doug "crunches" and what does he "crunch" them with?

Numbers can't measure heart though.

 

[Nosferatu]

If the Tigers take a step backwards & lose 90 games will doug's head explode?

Teams with heart don't lose 90 games!

I did not see this post before my response to your other post, lolzzzz

Teams with heart don't lose 90 games!

But teams w/ heart do miss the playoffs. Just look @ last years Tigers team.

Obviously baseball is rigged against a certain team with heart...

That's gotta be it!

I wanna thank @Iffster for believing the Twins win 72 games this year!

I think they'll have 72 before the final series of the year.

I honestly see them somewhere in the 67 - 75 win area. The pitching is still gonna be really bad but we do have some decent young hitters.

Some powder blue wearing faggots. Can't think of

I heard royals thought up. Putting guy on 2nd to start extra inning

 

[dougplayer]

Tigers already figured a way to improve 14 games.

First off. Don't send Pelfrey out there that saves at least 8 games.
2ndly. No way we let indians sneak by us with that kind of record. Tighten it up. We gain 7 games right there. Easy if you know how

Hey mr. know-it-all how many W's will the Tigers have this year? How many W's for Verlander? Will they have the ALc wrapped up by the A.S. break? By how many games will they win the division? Will they lose a game in the playoffs? Should the season just be cancelled & the trophy sent to Detroit? And how many times will your predictions be wrong this year?

Royals standard ..Brian flynn. Falls through his barn roof. Will miss at least first 8 weeks of the season.
Boy. That was smart. Go up on roof and fix it. Heee hawwww.

 

[dougplayer]

Vegas. Has tigers win at 85 games.
I would go with the over.
Maybe royals will have a tough time with 85.
Indians might struggle to get to 85.
Easy money on tigers to get past 85.

Cleveland has to be considered the favorite - best manager in MLB. I like what Detroit has done with the bullpen ... they have signed about 1,000 arms to minor league contracts (maybe some will pan out). I don't trust the Royals. The White Sox have made some quality moves for the future. The Twins have nothing to lose which could be dangerous. It could be a fun season.

Let's win a World Series for Mr. I. He deserved one!!!

Same team wins the division every year, and every leap year they get a wild card team

awful division.

The division isn't nearly as terrible as people like to pretend. In fact, since division realignment in 2002, the 2nd-4th place teams (usually the Bills, Jets, and Dolphins) have won 47.3% of the 450 games played outside the division. That's more than any other division in football.

AFC East: 47.3%
NFC East: 46.9%
AFC North: 46.2%
NFC South: 44.4%
AFC West: 43.6%
AFC South: 43.1%
NFC North: 42.2%
NFC West: 37.1%

Pats are just a dominant team. That's why they win the division every year. 76.7% winning percentage in games played outside the division.

3x!!!!! Three pete!!!
Justin Verlander girl gets cover of sports illustrated for the third time!!!!!
Don't get jealous. ...CY YOUNG. and that muffin..JV is playing the game... 2017 ..tops it off with another C Y YOUNG? And a ring??? Early numbers say..YES!!!

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

You got your wish with the AFC East

Worst division in the game

Unfortunately that's not true.

Same team wins the division every year, and every leap year they get a wild card team

awful division.

The AFCe might not be the worst division in football but no question it's the most predictable. No other division has had the same team win it year in & year out. Impressive run by the Pats. But it does make for boring football in the AFCe.
