AL Central Thread '19 Edition

Also, I was just alluding to the fact that overall record is the reason they are currently behind the Twins

You may have been trying to allude to that fact, but you didn't. You said they are "a fucking dreadful baseball team vs teams with a pulse," which isn't true. They have a winning record against the three best teams in the AL.

You could say they're a fucking dreadful baseball team vs the Mets, A's and Rays, as they've combined for a ridiculous 2-14 record against those teams.

If they'd have even gone 8-8, they'd be a half game up on the Twins.

But, we all know the old saying, if grandma had balls, @ChiSoxFan would probably suck on them. Or something like that. . .

I agree. At this point, I'm hopeful they'll be able to hang on to a Wild Card slot. It's entirely possible that they could be doing a do-or-die game 163.

In theory, they could potentially play four games (two of which would be do-or-die) against four different opponents, in four different cities, over the course of five days. That would be fucking mayhem.

I’ve been dying for a mayhem scenario for years.

Would love a 3 way tie for WCs

Sure the wording may imply they have been bad vs every team that is above .500 but I figured the obvious interpretation would be the overall mark vs quality competition.

Power Rankings: Who is the best in the AL?

Here is a quality reference point. Anytime you’re lumped in with Dougies Tigers, it’s probably dreadful.

So the stat is incorrect?

No, but much like wins and losses for pitchers, I would spend much time trying to glean anything from it.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

@SlinkyRedfoot mentioned something about grandma’s balls. Following up for a friend. Thanks.

Shit balls.

Speaking of which.

Had a twins fan tell me the other day the rotation has been what has carried us because all our starters have 10+ wins.

Nope. Garbage.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Nope. Garbage.

Agreed

This weekend Twins have a chance to go for the kill shot

 

[VikingFan2k2]

I was responding to mr hockey who suggested the Indians should hang it up due to their pitching.

Got it. I have him on ignore for a reason.

 

[Gopherfan84]

Hey Cleveland,

We see your Mercado catch and raise you a Rosario throw.

Sincerely,
the Twins

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Last chance Cleveland. You pretty much need a sweep.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Lol Indians beat us again.

We shrivel up at home. This team has no stones late in games

Baldelli botches his managing again.

Using all call ups outta the pen? Walks Greg fucking Allen intentionally?

That’s what you do when the division is clinched.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hahahaha

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Hahahaha

Nice win. Bad loss for us against your worst starter.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Cruz and Cave join the injuries

Indians gonna take advantage of a clear advantage in the injury department?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Pineda lmao
