A.L. Central Discussion 2016

[dougplayer]

Doug....I need a refresher on "Number Crunching". Now I can see the Razor Sharp Verlander "crunch" leading to you putting the Tigers as favorites. But how do the numbers crunch for an Oakland loss to Tomlin when they have a pitcher with a +8.00 ERA starting?

You forget iffy. Fear. The fear factor. Indians looking over there shoulder in fear

 

[dougplayer]

Doug? When you are number crunching involving pitching, what stats do you rely on the most? WAR, xFIP, ERA-, or WPA?

All those iffy. Mix in Heart And wanting to win it more. And better fan base. You must take in account those

 

[dougplayer]

Reading the detriot free press today at work..(on time and a half)...Stafford feels confident this year. Lions might have a shot. Just ssying

 

[Iffster]

All those iffy. Mix in Heart And wanting to win it more. And better fan base. You must take in account those

Now this, "wanting to win it more"? How is that determined? Are the players given a questionnaire? The management and owners? Do the Tiger players and management work more overtime?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

You need to start shaving. Scratching my nads on your chin slinky

You have no nads, boy.

 

[dougplayer]

Verlander. 2 hitter through 6. Razor sharp

 

[dougplayer]

You have no nads, boy.

You seem to want to know real bad. Must be that ohio farm boy thing

You can just sense it iffy. Class always shows through.

I don't want to know that you have no balls, you shout it from the mountain tops.

 

[Iffster]

Doug....I fear that slinky has you by the balls (metaphorically) on this wager thing. It might be a good idea to accept it and even "double down" with an avatar bet or something else. You have to show the HEART you claim the Tiger fan base has. You just referred to it as part of how you ''crunch'' numbers! GO FOR IT!

Doug...you've made bets before on this site. What is the difference now? Are you really unsure if the Tigers can win the AL Central? Are you afraid of slinky embarrassing you? It isn't real money. (And people laugh at you all the time here)

Doug....your reputation as the one true Tiger homer is on the line here. If you fail to accept the bet....people will know you are all talk.

 

[bksballer89]

Why not take out Verlander?

 

[bksballer89]

The only team who had heart tonight was the Astros

 

[Iffster]

Why not take out Verlander?

So Tiger fans can blame the manager - instead of the anemic offense.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Verlander. 2 hitter through 6. Razor sharp

Verlander coughed it up. No fucking HEART, just like Doug.

 

[bksballer89]

Which I'm sure Doug will be doing shortly

He's let over a dozen bet offers expire without taking them because in his puny little heart, he knows theTigers blow sweaty dicks, just like he does.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Yes. Looks like only 3.5 back after tonight.

That dog just won't hunt. Lol.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Astros bullpen coughs it right back up.

Now watch the A's comeback...
