2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[Fountain City Blues]

I thought the royals were dead

We are- we're just zombified now.

Blam-blam. Breaking another one off, Meyer on Hambone style. Four down. Yep. Thirty six to go. In pen.

The Tigers are now two games closer to the ALc basement than they are to the Indians.

Much, much better than it did for you.

Since that horrible start, they've been playing really good ball. I'm starting to think KC could really take it.

However, Cleveland's pitching is getting going as well.

It's not getting going, it's been going.

Indians win & the Tigers lose. Just the way it should be.

The Royals are the Georgia Lass of MLB, removing the souls of other noncontenders.

Sure feels like it outside of Texas- who just for whatever reason seems to have their number.

It's been exceptionally great the past week.

 

[Iffster]

How soon will tigers own the central??

We ask that everyday, doug. You crunched the numbers for us. You made the prediction that Detroit was #1 and that Cleveland would slip to the bottom due to their shattering defeat in Game 7.
We await the Tigers rise to the top of the AL Central. When will it happen, doug? When?

As well it should have - they faced SFG twice and TOR three times, CIN once. Those are some shit offenses.

Eh. Cincinnati is top 10 in HR's, SLG and OPS. Far from incompetent. They do strike out a lot. SF and TOR are shit... yeah

Yep. Was just going to mention that.

One man gas crew

2.95 ERA, 52 Ks in 39.2 IP, 17 saves in 18 opportunities.

He's a total one man gas crew if you seasoned your cornflakes with paint chips and floated them in Flint water.
