A.L. Central Discussion 2016

[SlinkyRedfoot]

If Cleveland goes just 14-16 the rest of the way, they still have 90 wins. KC would have to go 22-7 (.759) to win the ALC outright.

The Tigers would have to go 19-10 in that same scenario. They have a favorable schedule, but definitely also need to play better against Cleveland and KC than they have so far this season.

A 14-16 September would be the worst month of the Indians' 2016 season.

22-7 would probably be the Royals best month of the teams' existence. The best over the last three years was a 19-9 (.679) August last year.

Like I said, the Royals might win the AL Central again, but it won't be this year.

Precisely my point in posting what I posted. The Tigers pretty much have to count on a losing month for the Indians if they want a reasonable shot to overtake them for the ALC crown. The Royals have to count on an Indians collapse.

I knew what you were getting at. I was trying to support your point, not detract from it.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Baseball Prospectus is giving the Royals a 0.5% chance to win the AL Central.

Accepted....The BET is on.

a**hole? A**HOLE?!?!

FUCK YOU, you shit-stained burlap sack of rotting dicks!

September 16th-18th, the Indians are going to continue their ownership of Justin Verlander and your precious fucking Tigers and when they do, I'm going to dress you up like a pretty ballerina, and trot you out around tHoop like an organ grinder monkey.

I might already dress like that so it might not be anything new to me.

The Indians Are Reshaping How We Think About Relievers – The Ringer

Indians do seem to be getting better usage out of Miller than the Cubs have with Chapman.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hunter Dozier is getting called up. I'd like to see him at RF, DH, and 3B. Hoch to the 60 day DL would make room. Or Kyle Zimmer technically.

 

[Iffster]

I searched and searched through Fangraphs, but I could not find any categories or stats relating to Heart or Sharpness or, surprisingly, Smart Money. Obviously, if these stats are not being counted anywhere, Verlander's chances at getting the Cy Young Award are going to take a severe hit.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

@SlinkyRedfoot , the new date for downward spiral by the Cleveland Indians is September 22nd. read it, comprehend it and then own it.

a**hole.

Todd Frazier, he of the 102 OPS+ and sub-.300 OBP, is better than Kris Bryant.
