AL East 2016 thread

Blue Jays keeping Astros in the rear view in the Wild Card fray. The Tigers have won 8 straight and are now a legit problem though. Winning the division is going to be crucial.

JA Happ going for win 15 and the most in the majors. I still have to read these sentences twice.

Happ got it.

Jays set a new record with most k's in 4 game

JA Happ's been a lot better over the last couple years than I thought he'd been.

Having the best pitching in baseball (at least by ERA) has been a very pleasant surprise. With Shapiro saying Sanchez will remain in the rotation, if Stroman can find some consistency I'll feel much more comfortable about their chances against teams like the Rangers or, god willing, the Cubs.

And most are still young so................... Added bonus

Smart move by Toronto in keeping Sanchez as a starter and not moving him to the bullpen.

I feel great about Estrada, Sanchez and Happ right now in a playoff series. Not sure we'd necessarily need a 4th guy (no way I'd feel confident with Dickey, Stroman or Liriano out there).

What the heck has gotten into Pedro Alvarez??

If Chris Davis did not suck so badly, he would be racking up RBIs instead of nonstop solo shots.

Buck might want to flip them in the lineup as Davis is a blackhole right now killing rallies.

As frustrating as the last two weeks have been, the Sox are 5-4 on their WC trip. That record could easily be 7-2 or 2-7.

Sox have actually been getting some pretty good starting pitching since the ASB. Last night's performance from Wright was a thing of beauty. Even Vin Scully was amazed.

I liked you better when you were a Cubs fan

So Arod is either retiring or getting released. Yanks just announced random presser tmr at 11 AM regarding Alex

I would be surprised if he retired. ARod has always seemed to be about the money first, and since Selig went out of his way to get ARod Arod has only gotten worse.

I feel like A-Rod would make a great manager or announcer. He seems to love baseball and is very knowledgeable about it. He was great in the broadcast booth during the 2015 WS.

A-Rod final game will be Friday against Tampa. Will remain a part of the Yankees as special advisor/instructor through December 31, 2017

Some big moves for the Yanks Tiexeira and A-Rod retiring. It's gonna be a big off season for the Yankees.

 

[Sportsguy9695]

yankees get another win today. gotta like that

 

[dougplayer]

A ROD... never seen any body that could hit a breaking ball like him.

 

[navamind]

I'm still convinced David Price is a double agent for Tampa.

Didn't you guys say the same thing about Carl Crawford?

Yes.







Fuck Tampa. So glad Friedman and Maddon have left that franchise to go to shit.
