If the Kitties don't make the playoffs they can only blame themselves. Schedule is cream puff compared to the rest

Kluber .no QS. UPTON took him yard twice. Shame

 

[dougplayer]

This has to hurt kluber CY YOUNG chances. Big time

How did Fulmer do

Tigers need this game desperately. [3 game sweep] Taking 2 would help Wild Card chase, but not do much to catch Indians.

 

[Iffster]

Fulmer took a shot - ERA over 3.00 now. I'd guess he is still the front runner for AL ROY????

Don't kill yourself if JV doesn't get the CY, it isn't worth it.

Wow. Glad you figured that out for us

His CYA chances also took a hit tonight.

 

[broncosmitty]

He dropped to 19th in my rankings.

Christopher Devenski is having a pretty good rookie year for the Astros (2.07 ERA in 100 IP, only 5 starts). Honestly, I hadn't heard of him until I went to look at the rookie leaderboards. The AL competition is very underwhelming. Seager's been the best position player rookie by a country mile and he's a serious NL MVP candidate right now. Story and Diaz were having nice years until they got hurt. Half of the top 10 guys per WAR have under 300 PA (Seager's the only qualified batter).

 

[broncosmitty]

Brandon Drury has came on lately too. Could finish high in ROY, if he weren't in the NL.

 

[Iffster]

Would Bruce Rondon qualify for ROY?

Would Bruce Rondon qualify for ROY?

Maybe Edinson Volquez will get some votes.

The Indians are 5-5 over their last ten.

Tigers 4-6.

Royals 4-6

Twins 4-6

White Sox 6-4.

But yeah, it's been their division to lose for months.

When everyone else sucks more balls, yes, it's been their division to lose. Unless you want to regale me with tales of when the Tigers were just five back.

Last week? I really don't know when the last time they were five back was.

Injuns had that hot streak back when Jesus decided June would be the month of Cleveland. Since then, it's been a steady progression towards the end of the season, from a bunch of mediocre teams.

Market correction?

Makes me so sad.

They've run the ALC since May.

Unless he gets 5 more starts. And goes 14 or 15 innings per, I think he's out of the race.

Did they move into first on the last day of the month? Second to last? FOURTH to last?
