OFFICIAL '20 AL CENTRAL THREAD N' STUFF

[Stakesarehigh]

I never thought Boyd would stick in the rotation. He greatly surpassed anything I'd hoped for his career the last couple seasons. But thought he'd turned a corner, guess I was wrong again with him. He sucks this year.


If Turnbull can stay in the rotation for most of his remaining controlled years, Avila should be able to put together a nice rotation. The movement on his pitches is excellent but there's no way he knows where it's going at times. Now Boyd.... a lot of people know where his pitches are going.

Shame Fullmer got hurt like he did. Dude was money for a year and a half. Norris is actually pitching pretty well in long relief.

Long story short they have options. I do like how the staff/pen is setting up for the long term.

Norris finally looks confident out there. Really had high hopes for him when the Price trade went down.


If this long relief role is where he's most comfortable, hope he stays there. He's done really well.


It'll be interesting to see what Fulmer does next year. He almost had three good innings the other day. Was so close.

The Indians offense is back to the bottom of the barrel. Embarrassing. Should be fun getting to the playoffs and offense scoring 1.7 runs a game.

Back in rare form getting no hit by a guy with a 5.58 ERA

 

[osubuckeye89]

At least they got a hit

Brady Singer is likely going to be a very solid pitcher for a long time. He is a good one.

Brady Singer is likely going to be a very solid pitcher for a long time. He is a good one.

Not sure anyone is doubting his future.

He hasn't lasted past 5 in any start.
He gave up 23 runs in his last 6 starts. About 4 runs a game.

The Indians got one hit. Yeah the Indians offense is that bad. I know they don't have Ramirez but they've been outscored 14-1 in the last two by one of the worst teams in the majors and as of right now and two decent SP's at best. That's just pitiful.

I posted this a year ago today. It seems just as appropriate now. The best pitcher in the game vs. the best pitcher we have. Let's do this!

Gonna take more than 9 games to dethrone Jacob deGrom.

But yeah would be nice if we can just once hit Bieber

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Buxton just got a hanger. And he did not miss it.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Nelson Cruz would have well over 50 RBI already if he had any power with men on base.

I have no idea why he can't hit anything but solo shots. Brutal pop up on 1 pitch with Bieber on the ropes(both runners and pitch count wise)

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Romo should be paying rent in Lindors head

Sox went from being flummoxed by Mize to winning. Weird game, eh @Voltaire26 ?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Huge win over Bieber.

Maeda has been a revelation so far this year. Wasn't a huge fan of the deal at the time, but he's really, really been good.

I didn't expect that when I looked earlier. Well played.

Huge win by the Twins handing Biebs his first loss.

It looked like a "cement-mixer" slider. It got out in a hurry.

Huge win by the Twins handing Biebs his first loss.

It was only a matter of time and they only needed two hits to do it. This shitty offense was going to hand him a loss eventually. This is the worst offense I’ve ever watched...get out the brooms. Gonna be a 2nd straight sweep where they average 1 run a game

think someone can teach the detroit announcer how to say "madrigal" instead of madigral?

Probably not. Announcers have a horrible habit of mispronouncing names, even if it's one of their home player's name. Bert Blyleven butchered nearly every name on the Twins' team.
