2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

We have access to one of the finest baseball minds of this century on this thread. Yet he has not, as of now, explained how the Detroit Tigers have sunk themselves into 4th place. AND....he has not given us any indication what he thinks Detroit needs to do in order for the Tigers to, in his words: "Own the Central".

I don't want to speak for him, because well, who can really speak for a genius? But I am confident someway somehow Doug has a process

Some on here are worried. I can understand that. Being a Indian fan must be hard. But early may?? Tigers won't take total control till july

Kauffman Stadium was better with turf. Can you pass this along to someone in management?

They won a World Series on this, don't think they will consider the change right now. Kauffman Stadium was better when the players WANTED to win a few years ago. Now its like the Royals players turned into the Tigers players, ehhh been to a couple of WS's, I'm good.

I actually enjoyed watching those teams with Brett, White, Wilson, Saberhagen

Brett was the fire cracker that always wanted to win, everyone else fed off of him. Salvy was for a while but they all seem like they are acting like "Yeah, we already did that, now its just a job"

Joe Mauer hit a walk-off homer tonight. Let that sink in for a moment. Joe Mauer hit a walk-off homer tonight. He hadn't done that in his 13 previous MLB seasons.

Your first place, Minnesota Twins! On May 6th. I'll take it!

Still early in the season, but I had the Twins in a dog fight with the White Sox for last place this year. What I am trying to say is good job Twinkies and ChiSox ... I underestimated you both!!

 

[Erie Warrior]

Something's wrong with the standings on mlb.com they have the Twins listed as being in first place.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

I would've thought he'd have more than 1,000 hits by now. Guy plays hard.

Give the White Sox time. They should plummet soon I'd imagine. The fact they have such an awesome team ERA can't possibly last.
