AL Central Discussion

I fucking hate pagan. I fucking hate Rocco. They are both fucking retarded.....end of statement.

This is just incredible. Its not all on Rocco either. Our dipshit front office keep leaving us with Pagan in the pen and a pen without depth where Rocco feels he needs him. Its a group effort of stupid.

But yeah, there is so much data out there that Pagan can strictly do mop up duty. He cannot under any circumstance pitch high leverage. Im sick of the sunday excuse "but so and so wasnt available". I DONT CARE. Try Winder. Throw De Leon or whatever his name is. Have Lopez go two innings. Throw Jax another inning. Fucking tell Farmer to pitch.

You simply cannot use Pagan there. We all knew what was coming.

This week is massive for the division. Twins at minimum have to gain a game on both Sox and Guardians and that is bare minimum

6 at home brewers(2) tigers(4). Granted Burnes tonight is tough.

Guardians at Padres and Dbacks for 3 each

Sox at Dodgers and Mariners for 3 each

Like thats a massive, massive edge this week.

yah tough stretch for the Guardians- but after that, its A's, KC and MIL----- after then a tough one in ATL, then KC again,

If Guardians can get .500 in these 6 games they should put up some wins in the next 5 series- ATL being the only tough one.

Game 1 is in the books with a nice win for the Twins tonight. 4 runs off Devin Williams in the 9th to pull it out.

Twins play 42 of their next 56 against .500 or worse as well. A lot of Royals, Tigers and As. We havent had our A's fun yet. Although they are randomly trying and wont lose ha.

Massive win. Hell of a 9th lots of good ABs.

June Correa is here.

Julien(has got to learn how to play D) is quietly up to .260/.353/.493. His bat is MLB ready.

I've always thought that Julien will end up in the outfield. I've seen him play 1B, 2B and 3B. He does relatively well at 1B, but is a poor fielder everywhere else. Lets see what he can do in left.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Huge quick 2 game sweep.

Lets hope for some more help tonight. Get a real cushion building.

I'm all in on extending our playoff losing streak

I'm all in on extending our playoff losing streak

With our rotation Im praying we can at least win 1.

Just need bullpen help. Today was picture perfect of starter going 6 and then Stewart/Duran/Jax all economically.

But we need more options.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Tribe really needs to avoid the sweep tonight- either that or win the series in ARI.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Its impossible to win a lot of games in a row when you have the worst manager the game of baseball has ever seen.

Baldelli needs to have some sort of illness that ends his coaching career like his playing career. Its gotten to that point. Hes so fucking bad at his job.

 

[broncosmitty]

Tigers doing their part to get the whole division back under .500.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Francona using Stephen and Clase for a combined 3 innings tonight. He mustve really wanted that game.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I was about to drop Correa on my fantasy team but he is pretty much on fire now- glad I waited.

Buxton is back

Kiriloff is obviously back healthy and has a .398 obp with over 100 at bats....

lot of other guys onthat offense that have underachieved too--- Vazquez should get better. KEpler should get better....I always liked Larnach as a prospect...Solano is a pretty good table setter

 

[WiggyRuss]

is Josh Naylor gonna be all star worthy? right now I would say borderline.

Bad April, but an OPS off about .920 since then.

His brother should be up at starting at catcher. It is time. Zunino at an OPS under .600 and not even playing good defense. Francona is so loyal but not sure how much longer the can wait. 13 homers, 900 ops, and by all accounts playing good defense and throwing runners out.

Jose Ramirez finally playing like an All Star with an OPS over 1.000 this month.

Kwan has been okay- but a dissapointment over last year- that is for sure.

but the guys that are killing them are Gimenez, Rosario and Bell.

 

[WiggyRuss]

just looking at the D-Backs stats- who the Guardians have for the next 3 games.

Corbin Carroll is just ridiculous. Top prospect living upt to the hype. 14 homers, 19 steals, .977 OPS. He is already top 10 MVP Candidate- maybe top 5 in the NL.

Got Gallen in Game 1. Ughh....hope McKenzie is sharper than his last start (his 2nd of the season).

Vazquez literally cant get worse. But he sucks. Fucking terrible. Cant believe they gave him a 3 year deal. Time to cut losses and stop playing him. Kepler also blows

Rocco pinch hit Kepler for Solano(one of our current best htiters) last night simply cause of left/right match ups. Its gross.

Twins have a record closer to the rays than the Guardians if Francona manages this team.

7-14 in 1 run games. You have to basically be on the spectrum to have a team with this talent and that record.

Carroll is he isnt the current MVP hes easily top 3.

Its him, Acuna and Freeman

Somebody on the spectrum has imagination and vision. Rocco the Robot doesn't. The only problem, as I've stated before, is that firing him does no good. Upper management will just hire another nerd ball doofus that thinks exactly like them. They fired Molitor for less than this and his teams were nowhere near as talented.
