AL Central Thread '19 Edition

[Shanemansj13]

I get that. I am just really reluctant to want a Bauer trade at this point. I say that even with the possibility of a return of major league ready talent

I agree, but Dolan is sack of shit. If it was up to me they wouldn't be selling at all. I would be buying.

Trying to get Renfroe, Merrifield, Dietrich, Puig for young prospects. Keep the starting pitching, keep Hand and try to compete this year...if guys get healthy and they continue playing well who knows what can happen.

I just took stock of this the other day:

We have had perhaps the best rotation in all of baseball then...

Salazar's arm turns to mush...Kluber breaks his arm...Carrasco gets cancer...Clev hurt his back

In a million years I would never have thought Bieber would be the stud that he is

It's crazy how injuries have haunted the Indians the past couple years and more. Bieber is looking like the ace of the future though.

Its probably a different experience for you I bet? Fighting with words rather than switchblades like White Sox fans

True story

Was at the Indians home opener many years ago vs. the White Sox (Juan Uribe era). Was sitting in the bleachers and White Sox fans were talking crap whole game. Indians were getting ass blasted so it was justified. By the 5-6th inning most of the Indians fans had left. White Sox fans started turning on themselves.

I stayed just to watch that

Lolz “Juan Uribe era”

Tigers officially in last place in the Central and we are eyeing Baltimore ... we will win the #1 pick 2 out of 3 years.

Max Kepler just hit his 5th straight home run against Trevor Bauer. He owns him.

Typical Twins tease.

Have it chalked up as the Indians day. Happy knowing we won the series.

Rally to tie the game. But it’s only tied because Schoop is an embarrassment with men on. Polanco chases 2 blatant pitches and Cruz puts up no fight. 3 of the last 4 batters in the inning K.

Insert Trevor May. Per usual, bullpen hands the lead right back.

It’s shit like this that high end teams don’t do.

Watching the Indians game. Didn't know there's a free preview on MLBextra-innings.

Go Tribe!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Waste a lead off double now.

Team is a tease.

Overall 2 of 3 this weekend was a solid weekend for us.

But man losing like that is disappointing.

It really is, to battle back like that and have one of your best relievers (That speaks more to how thin the bullpen is, than how good May is) hang a curve to their most professional hitter is a tough pill to swallow.

A chance to sweep them in their own building and have them really thinking about things and we have to settle for just the first 2.

Won 2 out of 3

I missed the first two games of series, Fri and Sat. Watched the game on Sunday, I can't miss any games. Had no choice this weekend but if I miss a game..they lose.

Feel free to take another week off.

Unless it’s the Orioles

The Indians do not lose to these shit teams.

Like honestly, I think they rarely ever even trail

I seem to remember back-to-back games recently where the Orioles outscored the Indians a combined 26-0.

I’d strongly suggest you re read what I said

Plutko got kicked around a bit and one of the Tigers jerkoff relievers pissed it away.

I listened to an interview with Tribe play-by-play guy Tom Hamilton on 1500 last Friday (he is absolutely phenomenal by the way) and he seems to think that it is unlikely that they are going to be big buyers at the deadline, but he also says that they can't go full rebuild either.

So he expects a guy like Bauer to be traded in a "reload" type of move like Tampa Bay did by trading Archer. Obviously trades that lopsided don't happen very often, but they are going to want talent to help this year or within the next year or two.
