2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Yep. Another win. Dramatic walk off win. Urban Meyer winner style. Two. Down thirty-eight to go. Yep. In pen.

Lucky win for Indians. Keep counting on wins like that??? 1948

I am still wondering when Detroit will take control of the AL Central?

Of course, I am also still wondering when the Wolverines will take control of the BIG10 and when the next scheduled Jim Harbaugh "Sleepover" will occur.

BTW....does anyone have a photo of Matt Stafford's Super Bowl ring? Or his MVP statue?

Kluber had a damn good game today. 7.2 IP, 1 ER & 14 K's.

Now in a tie with the Rays for the WC2 pending the Yankees and Twins results

Tigers beat up on twins. Hanging tough. No quit In This tiger team

Other than the front office, apparently.

 

[dougplayer]

Yep. Front office quit. Only 5 games back. They gave JD away..for 3 Latin SS..all weigh under 170 pounds.

Doug is right...no quit in this Tiger team. Unfortunately there is no talent either. Seven games under .500 nearing the 100 game mark. I think 45-52 sums up the talent level....especially for those that know HOW to crunch numbers. LOL

(BTW doug. Detroit is 6.5 behind Cleveland. Five games out of wild card but with 6 teams between them and a wild card spot. Crunch the numbers)

It's almost like they realized the Tigers weren't good.

Kluber might be at his best right now. 12.4 K/9 is absurd... and it isn't even the highest rate in the AL right now.

 

[Wamu]

Current ALc standings...

Indians: 51-45
Royals: 50-47 / 1.5 GB
Twins: 49-48 / 2.5 GB
Tigers: 45-52 / 6.5 GB
White Sox: 38-57 / 12.5 GB

Yeah he's been pitching pretty good lately.

 

[navamind]

Yeah he's been pitching pretty good lately.

His fewest K's in a game since returning was 8 (twice; in 5 and 6 inning starts). He's averaged more than a strikeout per inning in every start. He has 108/13 K/BB in 71 innings.

I didn't realize his #'s have been that good over his last 71 innings.

He had a 1.56 ERA prior to today's start. I'm too lazy to do the math right now.

I just waiting for doug to list his reason why Kluber is an awful pitcher & has just been lucky lately.

 

[dougplayer]

Kluber.....didnt deserve his c.f. young. Just saying.

Looks pretty deserving to me. Felix had a better ERA, but Felix had a much better defense behind him. Indians were arguably the worst defensive team in baseball that year.
