AL Central Thread '19 Edition

[Shanemansj13]

Wow had about 5-6 opportunities with RISP. Nothing haha. Double to leadoff the 9th and nothing. Tough game

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Viloria looks pretty respectable out there so far for a guy so young at C. Probably punching above his weight a bit, but he was hitting very well (after a very poor start) in AA.

Twins finally get a clutch knock late

Baltimore needs to win more.

I think I speak for all Sox fan when I say tonight’s win against the Tigers might be the start of the turnaround.

I listened.


Sounded like a lot of swings, not so much contact. (Something like 10 of the first 12 outs were via K.)

Why do lefties still throw to Cruz? He has an ISO over .500 against them this year.

Baltimore? I

How about that Nick Goody?

 

[Shanemansj13]

How about that Nick Goody?

He is GOOD and that is an understatement, he has been great. After losing guys last year I thought it was going to be another year of a bad BP. Guys step up and guys have emerged.
It's important that guys find their role and get comfortable, makes all the difference in the world.

If we can sweep this double header and the Braves hold on back to 2 games. It's been a struggle to score runs so hopefully the offense gets going in this second game

You think the Tribe can put together a 20 game winning streak? I don't. But it would be nice to catch the Twins.

They won't need a 20 game winning streak, just need consistent play vs good teams, offense to play better and the Twins to kinda fall apart but a couple years back they had a long streak...forgot how long it was.

Hope they don't hit any type of slump. As far as the Twins. The faster they realize they aren't winning the ALc the better it will be for them.

Twins have been done for a while

Cleveland hasn't exactly dominated the Twins this season.

Some great BP being thrown in Baltimore.


Historic BP.

this next series could solve a lot of those issues. 20 game win streak isn't necessary

Tigers are 3-7 in their last 10, improving their winning percentage. Orioles are desperate to catch them.
