AL Central Thread '19 Edition

[Voltaire26]

If the Tigers win their next 62 games, they will be 92-70 ... I still think that may not be enough to take the division. DAMN!!!

I figured everyone missed doug!!

Hell of a throw by Bauer from the mound over the centerfield fence. Tito wasn't impressed though.

Just a little outside

I stole this from a random Twitter account, and I wish I could give him credit. Something like:

"I have no problem with Bauer throwing the ball over the fence there, my problem would be that Angel Hernandez still would have called that a strike."

The Indians have the best record in baseball by far since June 1st and you boys can't catch up to us with how badly we've been playing?

Hit us with all you've got. Trevor Bauer, throw all you've got.


But I would say that (assuming they don't sell) you've got an appointment that you won't enjoy with this guy in 10 days:


@mr.hockey4242 This team is going to win this division no doubt about it.

Didn't your Twins have a double digit lead in the divison not long ago?

The Tigers are playing some damn good baseball in 2019. Where is their heart this year? I bet Yer Boy dougplayer would know.

Bauer shouldn't have started. Was sick as a dog the past 2 days, wasn't even at the 2 previous games. That combined with humid weather isn't a good combo. Not surprised he got lit up

2 months ago, the Tigers and Royals laid down like dogs for C-Town. Now you gave it your best and now you have to finally deal with the tough part of the schedule.

Well they were up by what 13 games? It can take about 2 months to catch a team that has a lead that big even if they are playing .500 ball. You don't magically cut that lead overnight.

It would be a catastrophe if the Twins didn't win the division. You do realize the Indians haven't had half their rotation for months now. They have a total of 4 starters hurt and one of their man BP guys for sometime. So yah it isn't a bold prediction the Twins will win...they SHOULD win. You don't get many greater opportunities than this but yet even with all this the Indians are fighting their way back into the division...gotta deal with a tough stretch of games the next 2-3 weeks now.

Sick enough to cannonball a ball meant for his manager into the stands?

He was doing fine before the meltdown.

So you're saying the Indians are done & your Twins have the division wrapped up before August? Got it. Had no idea you can see into the future like that.

No he wasn't lol. He looked like shit early too just was able to get out of jams like normal. I would have rather him rested him, but I doubt Trevor wanted to sit knowing how he is

You have crushed it. No excuses. There is not one player that you've lost since June 1 that would have gotten you any better record in that time.

A Twins fan talking smack after they have blown a 13 game lead when the Indians have their best pitchers hurt hahahaha congratulations!! There is no reason the Twins shouldn't win the division. Best offense in the game right now, Indians injured and yet they cut the lead to 2. I mean I will take that all day but they gotta play some damn good teams now, like I said, gonna be tough if Kluber doesn't comeback soon. He is starting back up though, so that is a good sign. Not sure about Carrasco, we could see him late in the season, maybe not. He said he wants to play just depends on how his treatment goes I guess.

Not saying that, you've played .800 ball the last couple weeks and the division will be decided head-to-head. Just bench Bauer if he's still on your team because he's afraid of Kepler (as he should be).

It's good to see life in the thread after doug ... I have a feeling that the Chicago White Sox are going to be joining the fray next year (maybe the Tigers the year after).

The lead was 11.5 and I missed the part where it was blown. You've executed everyone in your path like Thanos and are still 2 games shy.

doug was a one of a kind goofball. I hope he's found another site to glowingly spew his special kind of Tigers homerism.

When I saw that Bauer highlight yesterday I laughed my ass off. Talk about losing your cool after a very shitty outing.
