2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[Wamu]

The numbers are definitely in the Tigers favor for '18!

Exactly. And whoever their next manager will be he already has the '18 A.L. manager of the year award wrapped up.

Miggy will get back to being a "real masher".....win MVP and some scrub will somehow win the Cy Young.

I'm so sure the Tigers will sweep ever major award next year I won't be watching a single game.

 

[Voltaire26]

So when do the Tigers play their first postseason game. @dougplayer said it was in the bag that they make it this year.

Hopefully the doug/iffy show will be canceled by then.

The thing he'll hit hardest are dugout phones.

Your thoughts should not be on the Tigers and next year. If your team is as focused as you ... you can talk about next year tomorrow.

I just farted in your ge

Indians set ALDS starting rotation, and it's fucking interesting:

Bauer
Kluber
Carrasco
Tomlin
Kluber

Roll Tribe.

Yep. No confidence in kluber. Bauer gets game 1 start...kluber no heart in post season

 

[dougplayer]

Twins jump to early lead on yankees. Yankees lit of talk. And Sanchez is a sucker puncher. Be nice to see twins beat yankees

Tomlin over Clevinger eh?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Tomlin over Clevinger eh?

Yeah. Clevenger has been better, but he’s been used out of the bullpen more, Tomlin's been playoff tested and I think they like the way he changes the speed of the rotation.

At least, that’s what I’m thinking they’re thinking.

With the Twins losing last night, there is only one team left in the AL Central ... so Cleveland there is only one thing left to do ...

Gooooooooooooooo Indians

Huh?

Has he been around? I'd have loved to get his thoughts on how the AL Central shaped up this year.

 

[Iffster]

Verlander on the mound tonight. He has pitched well down the stretch.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

I assume Bauer goes into the bullpen after his start in Game 1, if needed.

Holy shit, their pitching is so stacked. I'm think Salazar won't be on the ALDS roster.

Also, what about Brantley? Will Kipnis be playing CF? Fuckin' intriguing.

Wow buddy you have already got ALDS wood! Personally, I think Kipnis starts in center and Brantley stays a pinch hit/run option for tonight

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

I have complete confidence in Tito's lineup decisions. No other skipper in the playoffs has his resume

Prediction:
Chris Shelton is recalled from his stint in the Korean Baseball League wins AL MVP and Cy Young. Due to a lack of depth behind the plate Ausmus comes out of retirement and joins with Alex Avila for his 3rd stint as a Tiger. Jim Leyland comes back and rights the Motown Ship with Ty Cobb's dismembered head hanging in the clubhouse as a totem of pride.


Now, hopefully if you read this, you have wasted as much time as I have writing it. Which is my literary representation of the waste of time talking about the Tigers being anything other than an anchor at the bottom of the AL Central win-loss standings for the next 2-3 years.

I went back and read some of his posts (he used to annoy me). MiamiVice is leagues ahead of the doug/iffy show for intelligence. What did he do to get banned?

 

[dougplayer]

Verlander. Breaking one off on red sox. He is twice the pitcher sale is.
Through 6 innings. Only 2 runs. What a ACE verlander is. Astros so smart to get him from the tigers

 

[dougplayer]

Rumors has it....if Indians get to face Astros. Kluber has begged he won't have to face verlander. He scared he will get one broke off in him. He says let Bauer get one broke off in him. He is the fancy boy of this staff
