A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

And perhaps Cleveland is just a hot hitting team right now. They're tearing Scherzer a new one today, though the sloppy D has given them 4 outs each of the first two innings.

I had no idea Giambi was still playing.

Started laughing last night when his name scrolled across the bottom of the screen after being activated. That dude sure does love baseball. I'll give him that. (Does Travis Hafner still play?)

 

[broncosmitty]

Im assuming you mean our league since you picked up murphy there, but brantley isnt available, maybe it was another league...you are in quite a few. Reminds me of earlier this season when I thought I was awesome for picking up chisenhall for the day for a doule header, didnt play in either, lol. I dont get it either, chisenhall should be regularly playing.

Picked up Murphy in three leagues for this series, I think. Didn't put him in, in ours again. Should have. And should have benched BadMax(that's been awhile). Chisenhall is one of what, 97 FA's you've picked so far? You're a waiver wire machine laker, I like it.

I dropped Easton..he went on the DL. I will pick him back up soon. it will be a steal!


remember before the season...some of you wanted to get rid of V Mart??????? I argued against it. because we needed his bat. didn't think he would have such a good season.But we were short on bats. lot of you wanted him gone.

Who wanted to get rid of vmart before the season? He hit very well last yr...especially after the AS break..

 

[Cleaves2000]

cleves... what did you play at the silver dome??? football? they said that tuff was so bad. it cause a lot of injurys.
best memory of that place. I was real young. me and a couple buddys were at a Lions preseason game. we kept yelling at Kenny Easly of the Seattle Seahawks. we had him so mad. he wanted to come after us. Other players held him back. Security told us to knock it off lol

Yeah football....played against detroit country day in the 86 championship.....they beat us on a last second hail mary where the WR pushed our DB down then caught it....sucked!!!

The worse part was the paint on the field....the end zone was so hard and crusty....everyone was bloody with bad rug burns...like playing in the street.

Kenny easly was the man....he could hit

 

[navamind]

It's great to see V-Mart doing well again. He was always a good hitter and I enjoyed watching him in his short time with the Red Sox.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Career .259/.359/.498 hitter (as a C/1B) and has a .399 OBP this year and he's a bum? Lol ok.

Yup a bum.....notice im not a MLB GM....the trade was for fantasy.....there was a reason napoli was a FA all year until GVSU picked him up as of late.....ill take my 1B over him anyday....vmart rizzo and fielder....so yup hes a BUM.....and i would think 9 other fantasy owners thinks hes a bum also since he was available ALL year....

 

[Cleaves2000]

Lets not forget to mention his whopping 5 HR's and 22 RBI's.....but i guess if you won fantasy off OBP he might be a stud.....but yeah, he looked like a bum when the tigers swept his ass..

Fair enough from a fantasy perspective... he isn't going to put up a sexy BA and he no longer has catcher eligibility.

Yeah if he had C eligibility i mightve done the trade....i dont have a back up for the fragile mauer....

great logic.

 

[Howie115]

9-7 Tigers now. Gutsy game from Max. Coulda folded, but hung around for 7 IP and has a shot at a win.

 

[dougplayer]

yup he still is in line for the win!!! take that ERA weiner bous!!!


I need a win from max in my fantasy. I have clevelands alford..he sucked today...but that ok..tigers needed those runs

 

[dougplayer]

tigers were 6-0 entering clevland on this road trip.. even if they win today. it put a downer on a great road trip.




lets hope Joba don't blow the game...and that Ausmus lets him get into to much trouble

 

[broncosmitty]

Egh, if they hang on today, it's a great road trip. (7-2 no matter who youre beating and losing to is cool with me.)Wasn't planning on them beating Corey Kluber. He's been one of the best starters in the AL over the last month. (Im comfortable with a 6.5 game lead of the second place Twins.)

 

[broncosmitty]

Damn you David Murphy!

 

[SicarioCruz]

And the Tigers bullpen explodes!!!! Wooo!!!

 

[Howie115]

lets hope Joba don't blow the game...

Nope. But Nathan did.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Hey an injun fan. They do exist

 

[dougplayer]

Phl Coke blows it. what a POS! how can they let this guy do this over and over.???


and let him pitch 2 innings???? just like Raburn and Inge... they stunk so bad for 2 years or more before they dumped them ..
