2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[Howie115]

That tells you how little I follow stats. I just looked at Norris's numbers from last year. If someone would have said he had a 3.38 ERA last year. I would have said no chance.

Maybe it is all the games he had to leave in 5th inning because of pitch count that threw me off. He just seemed erratic and always seemed to have to work out of jams. If he can hone in his command -- he could be extremely good. The command part irks me as I hate pitchers that give up free passes.

For the record, Norris' MLB career walk rate is 3.1, Boyd's MLB career walk rate is 3.0. Not a whole lotta difference. But I do agree, we need to see Norris starting to be more efficient with pitch count.

It's not a putdown,
you put your foot down,
and then you make-a some love,
you put your root down.

Like Galileo dropped the orange!

Royals and indians look to be in WS hang over. Drifting back to the bottom

Really? Data to support that Mr. Saberhagen?

Cleveland has the best baseball team AND the best symphony

Ohhhhh, stepping all the way back to tBoutique....

[broncosmitty]

Burke Badenhop, Mike Ravelo and Eulogio De La Cruz deserve some credit in this thread.

They were busts, but the were dealt for Miggy too.

(Rabelo manages the WhiteCaps now and EDelaC plays in the Messican League.)

There was kind of a segue:

"I'm like sweetie pie by the stone alliance,
everybody knows I'm known for dropping science"

...which took me to "Galileo."

 

[Billythekid]

Based on what?

Tigers havent done a goddamn thing this winter.

Royals reloaded

No argument here.

Now for Case Western Vs Wayne State.

I followed your inspiration there.

What's with all these Indians games starting at 6 PM EST?

They think people are more likely to stop in for a game right after work. Rather than stay in Cleveland for another hour.

Solid logic, right?

It is a giant pain in the ass to get out of work at 4:30, drive home, then back down town for a 7:00. A 6:00 means I can stay downtown, grab some food and beers before the game.

Why would you go home?

Is there a crazy custom in Ohio that you have to make things difficult?

I bet they'd get great attendance if they played at Cedar Point.

 

[broncosmitty]

I do forget that Cleveland has the smallest TV market by land area.

Can we still get those figures, @MiamiVice?

Goodbye Anibal Sanchez.

Goodbye Anibal Sanchez.

What happened did Trump have him deported?

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Nice of the Tigers to lend the Twins Anibal Sanchez to pitch BP for them.

I love how Detroit calls up Jimenez and refuse to use him. Instead, we keep trotting out the same clowns from the bullpen.
