AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[SlinkyRedfoot]

You just saw shaggy the Mods post....after those 3 were attacking me in this thread. Just read the last 3 pages.. he told me to SHUT UP...not a word to them. D Back fan he is. Tells you all you need to know

My guess is when the other two post "reported," they're not actually reporting anything, but when you post that, you send a message to Shaggy, which would be annoying AF.

Now, please shut the fuck up and go root for your shit teams.

People attacking you in this thread? Get the fuck outta here. You talk more shit about people in this thread than anyone else. Trying to play the I'm innocent card is 1 of the lamest things you've ever done. You really are a very special kind of crazy.

 

[navamind]

Doug, shut it. You are more of an annoyance then both Iffy and Handi are nowadays...

I put all three on ignore weeks ago and haven't looked back. It's reduced so much clutter.

He didn't bring up doctoring the balls, he implied they were using a foreign (sticky) substance.

Well, JV once played with one of the best at this....

Based on Bauer's tweets that I read, I don't think he was trying to call out Verlander as much as the Astros - and he didn't name anyone or any team.

Seems to me that he's trying to force MLB's hand to either crack down on pitchers using stickum, or allow it.

There's speculation that he conducted an in-game experiment with some stickum during the 1st inning of Monday's game.

You're a liar. You complained to the owner weeks ago and then did it again yesterday. You are a child and a hypocrite. You wanna play, but you can't pay. No heart and soft like butter.

Stockholm Syndrome.

Which is a better affliction to have as opposed to Detoitarea

Dizzie Dean used to use butter to "enhance" balls like those fellow in Houston


This is ABOUT baseball

Re: doctoring baseballs.
Just guessing, but I'm thinking there are substances that a pitcher could put on their hand which would be transparent, not actually transfer to the baseball and still increase friction to increase spin. No 'give away' pine tar on hand or ball.

You remind me a lot of Chuck Knoblach during the Yankees years. I will let others decipher the meaning of this. However it IS a baseball reference

Correct. THe glue they use instead of stitches...that's what the MLB told Bauer he couldn't use when he cut his hand last year. Astros must have a tub of it in the dugout.

 

[Iffster]

The Houston pitchers will eventually come clean and admit they learned how to cheat by watching ESPN

Lil Stoner

No, Lil Stoner wasn't the first weed puffing hip-hop superstar out of Detroit; he was another bad Tigers pitcher who played in 1922 and then from 1924-1929. Lil Stoner's real name was the considerably more sonorous Ulysses Simpson Grant Stoner, which makes him sound like a cross between a President and a TV cartoon character. Stoner amassed a lifetime 50-57 record with a terrible 4.74 ERA during his seven seasons in the Motor City. And keep in mind, Stoner pitched in an era when the pitchers used to bat in the AL, and when the home run game was just being established by Babe Ruth.

Sure, his name helped Stoner “make” this particular list of terrible Tigers, but any pitcher who had a losing record for a given team as well as totaling over 50 losses is fair game for a “worst ever” list--whatever his name may be.

 

[dougplayer]

Have shaggy. Post any complaint I made in last 2 weeks. I did complain when I got banned...sbout month ago.....why are you even in AL central???? Just to trill me soccer boy. But that's ok. Right?
Go swish away. When you 2 were locked out. Not 1 argument was heard I in here just serious baseball talk. But. Let's not the truth get in the way. You must be liberals. Bawwwhhhaaww

Jose Valverde

Here begins the list’s more “controversial” choices, as Valverde enjoyed a considerable measure of success with the Tigers, saving 119 games for Detroit. But of course the gigantic 6-4 Valverde will only be remembered by Detroit fans for his postseason meltdowns in 2011 versus Texas in the ALCS in which the Tigers lost, and especially 2012, when the Tigers were swept in the World Series by the San Francisco Giants. But even when the Tigers were taking multiple postseason series that year to capture the AL pennant, Valverde was still awful with a 16.20 ERA in the ALDS, losing a game to the Oakland A’s.

The right-handed flamethrower followed that up with matching ERAs of 54.00 for both the ALCS (in which the Tigers won) and the World Series (again, that they lost). Valverde was psychologically ruined in Motown, as the 2013 season and his 5.59 ERA were the end for Little Papa.

Dontelle Willis
When Willis emerged on the MLB scene for the 2003 World Series champion Florida Marlins, it was the closest thing the baseball world had seen to Doc Gooden, as the left-handed “D-Train” electrified home and road fans alike with his dazzling pitching style. Willis’ greatest claim to fame as a Tiger is that he was part of the December 2007 deal that also landed the Tigers' eventual Triple-Crown-Winner (and Hall of Famer to be) Miguel Cabrera. Otherwise, Willis was a colossal bust for the Tigers, getting paid $29 million over three years for a grand total of two wins (against 8 losses) and unbelievably bad stats of a 6.86 ERA and 1.93 WHIP during his tenure in Detroit. When combining the bad of Willis with the good of Cabrera, I guess you'll take that any day of the week.

Knoblach was mentally retarded when he played with the Yankees?
