2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

Plus, there's always the point that Verlander shits the bed in the playoffs, so should he ever have really been considered an ace? Aces step up in the big games; he pissed down his leg.

 

[dougplayer]

Yes. Last 7 starts. Kluber wishes he could have the last 7 starts like verlander.
Numbers don't lie. You homers

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Kluber's 146 ERA+ over the last four seasons is better than any four year stretch from Verlander.

 

[dougplayer]

Took a vacation day. At cracker barrel.
Thinking. Why let Rondon blow so many games. Finally he is back at Toledo.
Why assmouse not gone 2???
Get jimbo khaki pants to give team pep talk.
Let joe schmoe..manage...

 

[dougplayer]

Speaking of jimbo. We going to. Kill those gators. They as corrupt as those buckeyes.
We really should honor harbaugh for his greatness

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Kluber wishes he could have the last 7 starts like verlander.

Kluber had a better seven consecutive games, June 19 - July 23.

Verlander wishes he was a real ace and not a fraud.

 

[dougplayer]

Verlander doing it longer. Wheels ready to fall off on kluber. You watch. Verlander iron horse. Like gherig.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Wheels ready to fall off on kluber.

With how closely you've watched Verlander as his wheels have fallen off, I might have to take your word on this one.

 

[dougplayer]

Verlander doing over 11 years.
Kluber just over 4???
Really dude? Come back in 6 years and try to compare them

 

[Howie115]

Verlander: 24 games / 8-7 / 3.97 ERA / 142 K's

Verlander vs. Cleveland: 4 games, 8.14 ERA, 2.00 WHIP, 5.1 BB/9, 6.4 K/9

Verlander vs. Everyone Else: 20 games, 3.27 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9, 9.2 K/9

Conclusion: Verlander needs to be traded to the National League, where he doesn't have to face the #$^@%! Indians six times per year!

Living in the past, huh dougy? I thought you said that's for losers.

I'd also say that Kluber gets some points in this comparison for not shitting himself in the playoffs and costing his team two rings in the process.

I am always swayed by the arguments of a man who....

A. Thought Sonny Grey was traded to the Dodgers
B. Thought Jay Bruce was traded by the Cincy Reds to Cleveland
C. Who predicted a .320 BA and 30 homers for Cabrera
D. Who predicted another CY for Verlander

Yes sir.....this guy knows his stuff

He also predicted the Indians would lose the ALDS, lose the ALCS and win the WS last year.

If you're a betting man, the smart money finds out what doug's picking and then does the opposite.

Did ESPN Tell you that iffy????
Iffy....i am done arguing with you...owning you is to easy. I know toughest part of your job is saying...you want fries with that??

That makes no sense at all doug. You're just swinging wildly now. About to hit the canvas for the 10 count?

 

[dougplayer]

WWJHD???What would him harbaugh do????

Lay a ass whipping on urban. That's for shore.
But. Harbaugh should be a fixture in tiger club house. To inspire them to greatness

 

[dougplayer]

It's going to be so funny how Indians find a way to screw up ....after last year choke job.... can't wait

Trying to change the subject...doug is waving the white flag.

Maybe doug...but it won't be as funny as how a $200mil club screwed up and ended under .500 and in fourth place. and how some idiot crunched numbers and said they'd win it all. LOL

Really just the World Series, not all "playoffs".

Overall 7-5, 3.39 in the postseason.

0-3, 7.20 ERA in the World Series.

7-2, 2.72 ERA in the ALDS/ALCS.

But, point taken. He hasn't done well on the biggest stage, which is the World Series. His first two appearances, however, were in his rookie season.
