AL Central Thread '19 Edition

@Shanemansj13 @SlinkyRedfoot @dtgold88

Any of you willing to say the Indians & Dodgers will meet in the W.S. & Puig will hit a series winning HR? I'm not.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

They got Reyes from the Padres too I think

I am more excited about this than Puig

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Yeah reyes will provide a deadly bat for them.

Pretty sure he’s a complete stiff in the field tho

6'5 270 born to be a DH

Puig will hopefully be a good rental for a playoff run but I am glad he is a FA. He wears his welcome out wherever he goes

yep I just hope the Yanks or Red Sox beat the Astros in the playoffs...if the indians make it LOL

Not really possible lol.

Indians get WC. They play Astros round 1.

They win division. They play Yanks and have to hope to win and pray the Sox/Rays/Twins or As win vs Astros.

Yeah Red Sox most likely. Never count the Red Sox out.

Yeah so the scenario of the Indians being in the playoffs and avoiding the Astros is like 2% lol

Very surprised the Yankees/Red Sox didn't do their usual over the top moves at the deadline. Of course, with Dombrowski the Red Sox really don't have much to trade from the farm

Cody Allen: Released by the Twins today


Boy, that guy's star has fallen

Nope. Red Sox can win the WC game and play the Stros. Not that unlikely

Indians let him walk at the perfect time

Sox need to make the wild card game

They need to win it.

They need to beat the stros

The Indians need to win the division

The Indians need to beat the yanks

Yeah, 2% sounds right.

 

[Gopherfan84]

They need to win it.

They need to beat the stros

The Indians need to win the division

The Indians need to beat the yanks

Yeah, 2% sounds right.

Or there's always the possibility that Cleveland cools off as their schedule toughens up and gets run down by Tampa or Boston and misses the playoffs entirely.

It’s the Red Sox man. Are you really doubting they can get a WC spot? Lol they are starting to heat up too and with these acquistions the Stros probably take the best record. Like I said, not that unlikely. Definitely MORE than 2%

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yep and then we could very well see a Yanks-Red Sox ALCS

Still think the Stros are the favorite and by quite a bit

 

[Shanemansj13]

Having to watch this game listening to the Stros announcers. Maybe I am just used to Hamilton but these guys are lousy. Monotone voices, no emotion

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Dude.

Read what I said lmao.

It’s not just about the Red Sox.

The Indians have to win the central.

The Indians have to beat the Yankees.

Not sure what you’re not grasping about this.

There is literally a generous 2% chance that the Indians can avoid playing the Astros in a playoff series should they play two series

Again, not that unrealistic. The Twins arent going anywhere without a BP. I am not saying they dont win the central bc they will have an easy stretch for a bit but banking on the twins is like winning the jackpot...you hope, you can even pray but that shit aint gonna happen

No it really is that unrealistic lol.

All of that happening is mathematically like 2%
