2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

Cant be too long before they bring Jiminez up. When is the date for saving a year of control?

I don't know, but that has to be the only reason he didn't come north.

Only one that makes sense.

I just don't understand the faith from the organization in Rondon.

Doug...you might want to re-crunch your numbers. Tiger's team ERA is 5.14.

In a way he's right...the ball is exploding off the opposing team's bats.

 

[Iffster]

Rumor has it. Tigers going hard next year for nap kid Ontani....pitcher and home run hitter. Just saying

But doug, there is also that rumor that sez you don't know crap and make up fake rumors!

Doug...Mr. I is gone. It is very unlikely Detroit is going to pony up the kind of dough this "nap kid" will be looking for. Unless you can convince Miggy to take his contract to Japan.

Every season this thread is the same thing. Doug spewing his usual nonsense and other people calling him an idiot.

I try to keep the main troublemakers on ignore at this point. With Vice gone a lot of the venom is gone at this point. Makes posting on this thread a much more pleasant exercise.

Really only one ... his stalker. When people from other teams lambaste him, that's good natured back and forth stuff. I do hate it when Doug goes off topic and his stalker follows right along.

Well the Tigers lost today dropping to 3-2. But they can still finish the season 160-2 if they win their next 157 games.

150 is a lock, IMO. That's their floor. However, they might drop a few the final week of the season, maybe giving some guys a few extras days rest before their 11-0 playoff run. They could hit 160 if they decide against resting guys.

You get me my Cheez Whiz. boy?

Joe Jimenez called up. Bruce Rondon down. Tigers' pen is so crappy, they couldn't give their best relief prospect a week of AAA work.

Those Bruce Rondon bobbleheads will have to be re-painted to show a Toledo Mud Hen's uni.

Fun with early season numbers:

Tiger starters: 27 IP, 3.67 ERA
Tiger bullpen: 17 IP, 8.47 ERA

My dream has been realized.

Avila is clearly reading this thread. Which is a wise career move.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Well, at 5-1 with a date with Detroit, we're feeling pretty much like this:

Hopefully we can keep it up.

 

[Howie115]

Tigers beat Sale and the Red Sox, 2-1. Great pitchers duel. Verlander sharp again, and the bullpen didn't puke all over this one.

 

[dougplayer]

Verlander..sharp.....sale..mot as much
Dam rondon.....cost us a swept

 

[BigRedMoe]

Had Verlander and Sale in my H2H league. Neither got the W but both scored me some decent points. 20 and 18 respectively.

 

[Iffster]

Verlander..sharp.....sale..mot as much
Dam rondon.....cost us a swept

1. I suppose there may be a "Dam" named after Bruce Rondon in his native Venezuela...I am just not aware of it. (I wonder if another Tiger Venezuelan needs some time in Toledo? LOL)

2. I am not familiar with the term "cost us a swept". Is that a baseball phrase?

 

[dougplayer]

Yep. My prediction of 88 ..loolong good o said take the over.....
Indians slow start

 

[bksballer89]

Yep. My prediction of 88 ..loolong good o said take the over.....

I got the Tigers O/U at 104

"loolong good o said take the over....." ????

Doug? Is that a Gaelic dialect or from an ancient Nordic language I am not familiar with? Loosely translated from Finnish, it means "the hell with an educated electorate"
