AL Central Thread '19 Edition

Indians will win this division

Management should be embarrassed

Barring the impossible. Kluber, Clevinger and Carrasco out indefinitely for awhile. They had to throw out a reliever last night to start lol. The lineup sucks other than a couple guys, Ramirez needs to heat up but without pitching it won't last long. They might hover around .500 for the next month but you can win with basically your 3 best starters out and your lineup scoring 4 runs a game. BP is also kinda meh.

If the Twins can't win the division this year...I really don't know what to say. They SHOULD though with that lineup alone.

Really don't have any choices. Owner is cheap and don't have any better alternatives. They had a chance to deal him last year but nobody wanted him lol

He has at least shown he can put up some numbers, albeit not consistently. I was really hoping the Tribe would have taken a flyer on Derek Dietrich

Well, Twins survive.

Bullpen is such ass

Maybe time to kick the tires on Madsen and Shields?

Appreciate it. The family has not been taking it well, I must admit.

The latter is obvious, but you couldn't acknowledge Kepler being the only Twin to ever hit 3 bombs in a game 2 different times against the same team?

Ted Williams is the only other player to have multiple 3 HR games against The Tribe.

That’s kinda a random stat that I didn’t stick around to get intel on lol.

I know, I'm a geek that gets this kind of stuff sent to his phone. I'll say, no Twin, (not even Killebrew) has hit 3 bombs in a game twice, much less against the same team. I knew that without looking.

Really? For some reason I thought Rosario had done it twice.

Obviously not haha

I think both Rosario and Buxton did it in the same month.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I think both Rosario and Buxton did it in the same month.

Well if that’s the case then Rosario has done it twice haha

Cause Buxton did it in 2017. Rosario had our last 3 homer game before Kepler and that was last year

I was actually right!!!

I had my years mixed up. It was Kepler Aug 16', Buxton Aug 17', Rosario July 18' and Kepler tonight.

Before that it was Morneau in 2007.

Before that it went back to Oliva in 1973.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

No shit! I stand corrected!

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Hey @mr.hockey4242 Big swing from last night. Burn the season to the ground and give it to Cleveland last night. Beating me in Twins trivia tonight.

 

[Shanemansj13]

You bet your Keppler it is!

A won man team last night for the Twinkies. I will take 2 out of 3 the way they have been playing. Doesn't get any easier with the Yanks and Gregorius comes back for the series too fml
