A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

Pretty good mark against the A's, O's and Angels though. The 3 teams that would forsure be in the playoffs with the Royals.

Twins try and make a push at the end but fall short. Royals extend their lead now.

Still feel like the whole bullpen strategy could bite them in the ass if this is the route Yost is gonna take with youngsters like Duffy and Ventura. But we'll see.

only things Twins :pushing : is stool

little Felix gets his streak SNAPPED by the Tigers. only goes 5!
Price is schooling Felix tonight

 

[dougplayer]

I did change one word sorry.

Regardless what his motive. He only lowers the credibility of what his nuerons put on paper.

Yes, I do believe the instruction sticker on a side of broom is for Dougie

what don't you understand about sweep?
tigers hosted the pirates for a series. won all the games in this series.thats called a sweep.
the series in Pittsburgh was at the end of a 9 game road trip. did you think they would count those first 4 games to??? as I said...tigers SWEEP the pirates

 

[gvsulaker82]

Wasnt a sweep, they split a home and home series with the pirates.

Why did the royals leave ventura in for the seventh? I thought he was done after throwing 97 pitches through six. Baffling.

 

[gvsulaker82]

Holland wasn't too bad. Walk and double to start inning hurts.

Tying run never got on base.

Yes, good thing it was a three run save eh? That might have been a good game for nathan but for holland it was not.

 

[gvsulaker82]

I will say they have the A's number as of late. Not sure how they are with Angels and O's... Albeit not the playoffs yet. They do have great pitching. Still no big power bat. Although I am small ball in playoffs kinda guy. The Royals are built for that. I do feel they could squeak out a series or 2 in playoffs.

I dont think they have the starting pitching/hitting to threaten any teams in the playoffs for a five or seven game series.

That was actually supposed to say turd.

 

[gvsulaker82]

All in all another good performance by duffy yesterday followed up by yordano today. Yost left yordano in too long, and both pitchers need to work on their pitch count efficiency. I could see yordano being a true one in a few years and see duffy as a low one/high two.

Yost is a bit of a dumbass. He was fired during September for the Brewers for stuff like this.

Wedge during cleveland still takes the cake for worst alc manager in the past decade.

 

[dougplayer]

oh I grt it.you must count the series before it to. better send baseball ref.com a email and tell them they are wrong also.


chalk up a L for Felix

 

[dougplayer]

if the Twins game plan was throw the ball away and just lay down for the Royals...the plan is working out great for them

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Crow is worthless. Someone take him off our hands...

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Yes, good thing it was a three run save eh? That might have been a good game for nathan but for holland it was not.

Point was he gave up 1 hit. Sure it was clobbered. But it was an exaggerated "bad" outing.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Now Ventura with any actually high pitch count and very young arm...Yost keeps him in. Lol.

Are you tipping back the bottle again dougy?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Now Ventura with any actually high pitch count and very young arm...Yost keeps him in. Lol.

With a pen that has Frasor, Herrera, and Bueno available as well. Just inexplicable.

And two runs in an inning. Any other game thats a BS. It was a bad outing.
