A.L. Central Smack 2015

[Fountain City Blues]

That's another couple things that play into the Twins/Tigers.

We are basically the only team that can't tee off against Sanchez. He always owns us even in a off year supposedly.

And we are about the only team JD Martinez can smack this year too.

LOL

Sanchez can only pitch to the Twins and Royals these days...

All of the sudden, 3-3 vs the Twins doesn't seem so worthy as it was a few weeks ago.

Yeah I'm starting to believe we might actually hang around(not win the division hang around) and be a legit .500 team.

It goes a long way when you finally start winning at home good lord it's about time.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Also, does anyone know what the greatest differential between homers and RBI is?

I highly, highly doubt that Mauer even keeps up his pace and he certainly wont if he doesn't start hitting more dingers but last nights homer got me thinking.

He's on pace for like 97 RBI but only 4 homers lol.

 

[broncosmitty]

Sam Thomson once drove in 166 with just 10 homers.

No idea what the record is though.

 

[broncosmitty]

Tigers are now tied for the league lead in stolen bases. Wonder when the last time was they were in 1st this far into a season?

1cupm2 fold medals iam sure the Wild would like to have 1 cup...so would the Sharks....

 

[Fountain City Blues]

That is pretty cool. Rematch of the '85 World Series, but it finally has some meaning. I'd watch that series.

 

[da55bums]

doing some research for a draft.

found

5 hr to 106 rbis- not sure of the record but its got to be up there.

 

[dougplayer]

2nd baseman for the Cardinals..in the 80s had a good HR to RBI...small white guy forget his name.

 

[potatobread]

I see the Royals winning the AL Central by 2 games.

Tom Herr. 8 HRs, 110 RBIs in 1985.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Damn those are 3 pretty crazy examples.

The hypothetical pace for Mauer is a higher RBI/homer still though.

Then again, Kinsler has one going on as well right now!!

Kinsler and V-mart: 1 home run combined this season (49 combined last year).

The stats are kind of stupid still, and we're almost two months into the season. Tigers are #1 in OBP (.345), #1 in stolen bases, but only 7th in runs. Houston has a .230 BA, .303 OBP but are 3rd in runs, thanks largely to having a league-leading 62 homers. The Tigers are tied for 10th with 36. When did the Tigers become "small ball"? I guess there's still something to be said for Earl Weaver's favorite play.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

5-2 road trip including 3-1 against the White Sox

Now onto the Battle of OHIO. Reds have lost five straigh and are batting a big league-worst .189 with runners in scoring position this year.

 

[richig07]

White Sox really disappointed me in that series vs Cleveland. Really reverted back to their April ways after climbing above .500.

Allen almost blew that game 3.. two walks, bases loaded.. then a pop up and nice strikeout luckily he found the strike zone.
