A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

[Fountain City Blues]

While Yost is incorrigibly horrific with the management of bullpens, regardless of how talented or loaded, this is a game where a team hellbent on contact couldn't get contact at times, and when it did, it found infielders- quickly- and often for double plays.

 

[da55bums]

seeing too many Team XYZ - 1, Royals - 0 going into the 6th...bottom line, team has to hit...so stop jacking around and put your 9 best hitters in the game to start every game...stop changing the lineup every freakin game...let them do their jobs.


waste of a waiver wire claim on Nix, thought he was out of baseball....there Yost, you have your pinch runner so play everyone else that should be playing everyday.

 

[gandydancer]

Didn't realize the Royals on SNB tomorrow.....Pretty cool

Red Sox and Yankees having down year help see other teams.

 

[bksballer89]

Not a bad day for the Yanks even though we were defeated.

Detroit gained a half game on us but didn't lose any ground on KC or Seattle

Maybe he should get some pointers from soscia. Angels with like a 7 pitcher shutout or something lol

They had, what? 17 baserunners tonight? That's not bad offense. That's good offense that decides to go MIA when it goes into a high leverage situation (RISP) for whatever reason- probably randomness given the lack of repeatability of RISP en sech.


My god though, they had 9 walks. How do you NOT win. You only get 9 walks with some degree of patience from certain players and an opposing manager being desperate. It was set up perfectly at numerous points in the game to get blown up and were kept quiet.

Liam Hendriks for long relief!

Alright so I'm bored and am going to rate teams and their chances of winning a playoff series in order.
Angels 80%
Tigers 65%
royals 65%
orioles 65%
Athletics 40%
yankees 5%
Mariners 5%
indians 1%
blue jays 1%

I also dont consider the one game WC playoff game a series. I think it needs to be at least three games and solely exists for financial reasons.

NL
Dodgers 95%
Giants 65 %
nationals 20%
cardinals 20%
brewers 20%
braves 10%
pirates 5%

I think the teams that make the playoffs are
Al east orioles
Al central tigers
Al west angels
WC athletics
WC royals

Nl east
Nationals
Central
Cardinals
West
Dodgers
WC
giants
Brewers

 

[Nosferatu]

IMO you are too high on the Giants and Royals and too low on the Nationals. Maybe a little low on the Athletics and Mariners as well.

tigers get another Q start from a rookie pitcher just called up in the night cap last night.
to bad scherzer couldn't be great like he usually is.


Dunn gone to the Angels. I guess that super MVP cant carry a team like Miggy has don't in the past.
Trout will win the MVP because FOX and ESPN demand it!! to bad. that kid from the white sox deserves it.

 

[dougplayer]

sloppy play costing the Tigers from winning 3 of 4 from the south siders.


not worried. the Royals on ESPN tonight. they will wilt under the pressure of national TV..dam it must be years since they have been on ESPN.


Tigers get to put the official dagger in the HEART of the Tribe starting Monday. they will be all don't after we mop them up for some easy wins

 

[bksballer89]

Royals & Tigers are keeping the Yanks involved. If they don't watch out, Cleveland can sneak in and take the final WC

Doug, who did Dunn go to? I think the super MVP can carry the Angels just fine.

Injuns can win the division they are not 9 or 10 games out.

Dunn went to the As you moron. You know the team that MVP trout and the angels just swept? Another homer for mike!!!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

95% dodgers win a series but only 20% for the nats? Idk about that.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Royals really need to pick up a game tonight...

 

[dougplayer]

duffy getting roughy up. almost got run out in the 3rd.


I knew he went to the As..... besides its California baseball..no body takes it serious.
and we all know the Tigers own the As.... just like we own the Yankees in the play offs

 

[dougplayer]

I woud say Infante is a traitor. for going to KC just for a little more money..over paid..
BUT
BUT


did you see what Nike is going to pay Durant? are you kidding me?? does any body even care about the NBA any more???
who buys those shoes with the KD on them??? 16 year old kids? where do they get the $125 for them? sell drugs??? I will never pay to watch a NBA game..ever!! unless the Piston get a miracle and get a group of players like the bad boys! BUT they only come around once in a life time...just saying

 

[bksballer89]

Indians and Detroit is now a big series.
