A.L. Central Smack 2015

[MiamiVice]

I was talking in the same area you were. wtf? lol, we actually went back and forth on Simon/Greene a ton. I made fun of Collins, ryan, perez, and laughed at VerHagen.

Good luck, you and Doug discuss baseball, it will make sense for the both of you then.

Another total lie. I never discuss anything of substance with you... all you do is lie and exaggerate. It must suck to see a FACT... PEREZ is hitting .338 since going to the NL... I guess he is a total scrub. You act like I said guys like Collins, Ryan, and Verhagen were going to be all stars... lol... all three will be useful MLB players

Here are some fun predictions -

• Moustakas BA with be below .270 by the end of the year
• Hosmer's BA will be below .270 by the end of the year
• Morales BA will be below .260 by he end of the year
• Ventura will be moved to the bullpen because he can't go more than 2 times through the lineup without getting rocked
• Royals will have a losing streak of at least 8 games before the end of the season
• Holland will blown multiple games in the next 2 months
• the yankees will beat the royals in the playoffs
• the royals will trade away at least 3 guys in an attempt to lower their projected payroll of 150 mil next year
• the royals will not be able to afford to resign Gordon, Holland, Young, or Madsen

Have fun with all that... Because none of it is outside of the realm of possibility.. and most of it actually isn't much of a stretch. Royals better win this year.. because if they don't they won't have the same team next year..

"Multiple games" isn't exact bold. That could mean 2 blown saves for Holland lol

Not ideal but not much of a prediction

 

[broncosmitty]

Dozier is a god

That's a fact

I've been telling you this for years!

Still can't figure out why you didn't even think he should be an All Star...

 

[MiamiVice]

Royals projected payroll next year is at 150 mil.. and that is without resigning free agents like Gordon, Holland, Young, and Guthrie.

Some how they are going to have to find a way to put together a rotation, deal with the arb raises, and lower the payroll ( no way KC can afford to be a 150 mil payroll team). It should be entertaining to say the least.

 

[MiamiVice]

If the Twins decide to make a run at it and get one of the top starters, and maybe add a bat... they could be a real threat... and they have years before they have to worry about payroll issues.

Sometimes I'm a little slow!!

Was too busy campaigning for Kurt Suzuki!!

lol, sure

Yes and Herman Perez is a scrub and will be always, 3-1 k to w rate in minors, .262 hitter, no power, speed = back up infielder and pinch runner. Just be glad for Det, your not a scout. Det was smart enough to let him go to the Brewers. So either your right or the Det front office is.

yes Vice, still waiting for those post season tickets you said you would buy if the Royals made the postseason, I get it your an honest man, I made this up as well.

I guess this many days without CBS to do you trolling has finally gotten to you, figure you would snap at some point. Haven't found another "live" game alternative yet I guess.

 

[MiamiVice]

.338 since joining the Brewers... Perez is 23... bums acts like the kid was a top prospect that busted or something... Perez was the tigers #10 prospect at his highest... i said he would be a solid mlb player.. I believe he can be very good and have an omar infante like career.

For some reason you keep acting like the kid was a top prospect that busted or something... He is 23... not 30... and since going to the NL.. he has had a hotter bat than any royals hitter in that time frame.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Twins approach against top pitchers not named Chris Sale is just sad. It's literally "this guy is good so let's just swing at everything".

A Ace is the one time that working the count is a absolute priority lol

 

[MiamiVice]

Twins don't walk much so they must be swinging at lots and making contact...

 

[MiamiVice]

Rangers with 14 hits and 2 runs... how is that even possible?

Lol they are improving.

They had 1 run on 11 hits against the Astros starter when I saw

 

[MiamiVice]

Royals lose... Split the double header.

 

[da55bums]

damn, against Danks? crap

Santana looking good, this is going to suck if Minny basically adds two sps for the 2nd half. I have rooted for Minny all year but might get tough down the stretch.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Looked like Mauer went but is there anything more inexcusable/annoying than the home plate ump not checking with the base ump on a check swing?

Fucking ego maniacs

Dude. We ain't catching you guys lol.

Just tryna get that home field WC

Don't be so sure... Twins could easily catch the Royals.. only 4.5 games back as of right now... and trust me.. the royals will have a slump in aug/sept... they are running their bullpen out there at a record pace... by early sept they are going to be lucky if Herrera still has his arm attached to his shoulder.

KC is dead last in innings pitched by starters.. and leads the league by a healthy margin in innings by relievers... and they have played less games than 90% of the MLB...

The offense already started to slump... when the bullpen hits a rough patch... twins and tigers will be right back in the thick of things rather quickly...

A lot of great points but the one thing I just don't see is the Bp struggling. They just don't seem to lose games.

Royals always seem to weather any losing storm. They are not a explosive team but they have the right things going for them to not lose a lot.
