A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

[gandydancer]

glad to see many of you homers over reacting.
tigers go on a 9 game road trip,go 2-7 during the dog days. the sky is not falling. and the Royals are still the Royals. the worst is over.

You just called other Tiger fans homers

 

[dougplayer]

I will give him a pass.
considering hes hurt and he is the most dependable pitcher the last 7 years and a C y Young and MVP winner

 

[dougplayer]

Nice "small ball" being played by Daytwah in the bottom of the 5th.

Im 90 percent sure doug intentionally makes his posts as ridiculous as possible to get a rise out of people, you know like a 14 year old would do. I just cant believe theres someone out there that would believe the obscene amount of ridiculousness he spews. God, I wish he was a royals fan.

I have many times, i dont have a problem letting someone know when they are wrong. I call it like I see it. What tiger fault have you called out that Ive been hurt by? I stated explicitly the problem with the tigers bullpen before the season started, and like any rational baseball fan my concerns have been spot on. That is their biggest fault, you are worried about replacing don kelly? Hes not going to be what prevents them from winning it all. The bullpen though just might.

How in the hell does one become fans of those 3 teams???

Im a huge jv supporter but clearly second to you as it is obvious that he has not been dependable at all since 2012. Now if the shoulder has been an issue earlier in the season (which I and several players suggested) he shouldnt have been pitching. He might have been good to go by playoff time then.

Ask and you shall receive...

 

[gvsulaker82]

Oh, is that what being hurt by it looks like? Haha, classic.

 

[dougplayer]

wow. I guess you were the only one to spot that bull pen problem of the last 4 years

 

[dougplayer]

but but considering we lost in the ALCS to Boston due to we couldn't score runs..


that spot don Kelly takes up could be used for some like a JD or a Matt Tuey?/

I got to disagree here GVSU... I think those really are his thoughts. I totally love the free entertainment I get from him. No rise here just laughter.

Could have swore ortiz hit a grand slam and things went downhill from there. I agree they struggled to score runs, but even more so they struggled in the pen. Yeah you would think everyone recognized how poor the pen was prior to this season but there were actually two tigers fans (vice and jalopy) that thought the pen would be fine hence why I said rational baseball fans.

And the twins get fucked again.

Buxton carted off.

Wow, what happened?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Wow, what happened?

OF collision. Buxton didn't move for 10 minutes and was rushed out in an ambulance. It doesn't sound too good.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Vargas retires the final 23 for a 3 hit and no walk CGSO.


Was even one of those "Maddux Shutouts" of all things.

What I find bizarre is a bullpen is one of the easier things to fix. Doesn't take a whole lot of prospect ammo/cash to fix a bad pen. Even KC had problems outside of their backend and it's a very different group now with Frasor, Bueno, Downs, and Chen in the fold.
