A.L. Central Discussion 2016

23 games left for the Tribe. 6 game lead.

Lets keep it rolling. Salazar v. Duffy today in Minnesota. Salazar has had 2 pretty decent outings ina row--- didnt go deep into the games but with over 10k's in each game thats doesnt make it easy.

just stay away from Dozier for shits sake. Maybe Kepler too.

Fullmer throws against Toronto today....don't know if I like that matchup for my fantasy team....

sit or start Fullmer?

That depends on your other options.

I will say that if you're hoping to get the 1.43 ERA flamethrower he was from 5/21-8/14, stop. He's got a 6.48 ERA over his last three starts.

Those two have been brutal to us.

Baltimore.

Not any better of a matchup really.

 

[Iffster]

I'm liking the next two Tiger games. Double interest. Wild card at play AND both Tiger starters have to show they are capable of continuing on this season. If Fulmer stumbles again....I'm all for shutting him down for the season. Zimmermann gets more leeway, but a start like his last return, should end his season as well. Hoping for sharpness, but not optimistic enough for any "breaking one offs".

"breaking one offs"

I picture Doug enthusiastically singing this into his curling iron to the tune of Judas Priest's Breaking The Law, wearing a 1984 Tigers throwback Jersey with Verlander's name written on duct tape stuck to the back.

Look for fulmer to be sharp. The kid is the real deal.
Lot left in the tank.

Is it right by Cleveland?

I've been down and around that area quite a few times. But never Solon.

I had to google this - had no idea what it was.

I've never seen an episode of Drew Carey.

Just keeping this tidbit, from doug, up front. Let's see if he guesses right on this one. (Although I believe he said the same thing during the last three of Fulmer's starts).

BTW...with the focus having been on Cleveland, this Baltimore series is as big as any for the Tigers' post season hopes. What is your prognosis on the Orioles doug? Can you name any of their players? Do you know about the Wild Card set-up in MLB and how it works? Little bit tricky. You might want to see how it works and what AL teams still have a shot at making it!

To varying degrees, every AL team except the Twins has a shot at the Wild Card.

No shit!?!

I watched cuz of Craig Ferguson, with his fake corny British accent.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The four top teams competing for the AL Wild Cards are going at it this weekend.

BOS @ TOR
BAL @ DET

Pretty exciting.

Yeah. While looking it up, I was surprised to see that it was on for ten years.

With a couple of notable exceptions, I have never watched much situational comedy, and when DCS was on, I was 19-28 years old and watching practically no TV at all.
