AL Central Thread '19 Edition

Twins offense is fucked in October as many have said all year. Homers dry up when it gets cold.

Rosario, Cron, Schoop etc.. are selfish ball players that don’t know the value in working the count and taking walks. They fail repeatedly in every big moment.

Can’t produce without homers.

Kepler, Polanco, Cruz, Garver, Arraez and Sano can’t hit in every big spot.

Garver got his chance in the biggest spot.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Kepler out and we just traded for Ryan Lamarre because we have nobody left

@Shanemansj13 will say the Twins are the lucky ones

Lmao.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Why have Cron hit for Miller?

I have no fucking clue who Ian Miller is, but we all know that Cron always fails in these spots

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Baldelli has Sano and Cruz on the bench(even if Cruz still can’t hit we have Sano)

Tying run at the plate with 2 outs in the 9th.

He let’s Ryan fucking LaMarre face Hand.

That’s incredible.

@SlinkyRedfoot mentioned something about grandma’s balls. Following up for a friend. Thanks.

Shady Acres is having a mixer this weekend, might want to tell that friend of yours.

I'll be there for sure

Yeah that is the same as top 2 starters for almost the entire year lolzzz

Yeah missing a couple guys with 5 ERAs

Is the the same as missing guys with 35 homers for 40 games and your most valuable all around player for over the the season.

Lolzzz

Are you talking about a guy that won 2 Cy Young's? Yeah I'm sure that 3 week span where he had a 5 era is totally accurate...grasping at straws much

Joe Mauer won an MVP in 2009.

So when he missed games in 2015 I can just say twins were screwed by injuries??

Lmao

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Eddie Rosario OBP is now at .298 and he just had another outfield misplay leading to 3 runs

But yeah, he’s a stud.

Lmao

Worst player ever.

Still hitting .276 28 HR’s 94 RBI’s. A lot of power hitters these days have awful OBP% bc they strikeout a lot and cant draw walks. He’s the worst player in majors apparently

He’s a power hitter???

Lol guy has a career .476 slugging % and is slugging like .400 in the second half

Fuck you are constantly stupid

He has a .197 ISO and averages 26 home runs per 162 games. I'd say he has some pretty good power.
'
far from a great player (as pointed out, he's horrible at getting on base) but 10.3 WAR in 624 games is certainly not bad. He's a useful player, if not a particularly good one.

Absolutely. He’s decent.

But that’s it. He’s a awful defender. He’s an ambush hitter usually on shitty pitching and in blowout.

But he’s expendable and it’s why he’s probably gone after this year. And the reason we didn’t extend him

You can't expect to have all-stars at every position though. And if a ~2 WAR outfielder is considered to be one of your "weak spots", then you have a very deep team.

No.

They should've just roided out like Ol' Joe did.

Not everyone can be a cyborg

Nope you can’t. I’d just like players to take a pitch or two and catch a ball or two.

He’s more than adequate when he’s the 3rd outfielder in our healthy outfield lineup.
