A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

But you just posted that yesterday. Van slyke dropped that fast? Seems like less AB's would take longer for your AVG to drop.

It's the opposite...if you're 1-1 (1.000 avg) and you go hitless in your next at bat, your average drops 500 points for instance.

 

[broncosmitty]

Any chance the Indians go 32-10 the rest of the season & sneak into the playoffs?

Nope.

 

[StanMarsh51]

If they can play something resembling defense, they would honestly be the best team in the division by a good margin. Wouldn't put it past the Indians to go on a run.

Their schedule probably hurts them....half of their remaining games are vs KC, DET, BAL, TB, LAA...although they do have 3 series with the Twins left and 2 with the Astros.

Nope definitely drops quicker with less Abs. Will also rise quicker though.

Yeah, Cleveland definitely picked a poor time to try to rally in the standings if they still have designs on the playoffs when compared to their competition for the open playoff spots. Amazing how bad their defense has been. Offense won't do much if you give it right back with the gloves.

Duh. But he didnt have one AB. i was saying if he was barely playing after 120 AB's it would seem like quite a slump to drop 30 pts if your hardly getting AB's.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Was referring to his avg dropping 30 points in a week after he already had 120 AB's

 

[Wamu]

The Indians need to have another 10 cent beer night.

forget it, he was joking about Van Slyke because of the discussion a week or so before the trade deadline. Van slyke has basically gotten pinch hitting abs since then with a scattered in start. He is around 5 for 33 with 1 hr, and a lot of no abs in games since the discussion.

its really a mute point now, KC didn't get him but I do like him more than Moose or Nick C as a power bat at 6'6" and a good gene pool with dad Andy says more athletic.

that's ok, they have already lost 2 8 game leads, 5 will be a walk in the park.

I'm seeing Porcello listed.

Did dumb Doug strike again?

 

[da55bums]

Ok Moose on 3rd...that's why the Royals got Willingham, experienced veteran. Looks like Seattle is takin it to the Tigers. End of the week Doug, your prediction was pretty close, but didn't think you would be down in the WC standing also.

 

[dougplayer]

oops. porcello not price. so ism wrong once this year.


twins laying down for the royals. sad

You don't even know the probable starting pitcher on your own team.

Talk about pucks to the dome.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Yost with the quick yank on Duffy.

Good bullpen or not. Ballsy with a 4 game series off a 4 game series.

 

[da55bums]

savin some pitches on Duffy, rested pen, he was getting a little freaky that last inning, why not?


King Felix against Forecloserville tomorrow, good time to rest.
