AL Central Discussion

[Fountain City Blues]

Well, if they can just invoke a rule where the team with the longest winning streak through the season wins the division.

I'm 99% sure the Twins are champs of the Central.

I prefer run differential champs through the first week of May, imo.

Objects in your mirror, may be closer than they appear.

Twins on a hotstreak.

Another damn injury for Cleveland. Hopefully Kwan is ok. That would suck and suck for my fantasy team too

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Where's Chicago when you need them? Oh well, streak ends at 12.

nice win for the Guards today vs the Braves.....be nice to take the series tomorrow- but gonna be tough.

I think the Central is def. better than most people thought it would be.

Yeah it’s early but the AL Central has been very solid.

Clase looks the best he has ever looked

that cutter is the closest pitch to Mo Rivera's cutter I have seen.....

Newsflash

Rocco Baldumbass is still way over his head as a MLB manager

Just incredible how inept this guy is.

I have been saying it for weeks now- and seems weird to talk about a setup guy like this- but Sam Hentges has some of the best stuff for a lefty reliever in the game- big time getting him back.

Guardians bullpen is one of the best in baseball.

Glad they got rid of Beebe, he was the weak link.

The starting pitcher has been pretty mediocre + a lot of injuries. Pretty weird to say Ben Lively is the best starter right now lol

He was also a nice guy. I had the opportunity to talk to him on many occasions and one never knew which direction the discussion would go. He would start out talking about one thing and end up talking about something entirely different. Once he talked about making a bat out of hedge wood (very dense, heavy wood). He took it to spring training and no one could swing it. Hank Greenberg told him it must have weighed 100 ounces.

10 game win streak wasn’t much of a fluke.

5/7 Vs Red Sox and Ms

Shoulda been 6 out of 7. But of course there will always be that Rocco game where he manages it to give the other team a win.

Playing real well.

Now stop starting Christain Vazquez 4 days a week when you have the best catcher in baseball.

Vaz was one of the more frustrating players I've watched on the Sox. He's prone to some pretty bad mental gaffes, on top of his less than stellar hitting. I appreciate the effort he gave us, but I'm happier with the Sox current catching situation.

The gaffes are the frustrating part. People point to his D to why he plays(his awful bat still doesn’t justify how much) but even with good D. He still has moments of absolute insanity.

It’s just wild that him and jeffers switch off every other day(with jeffers DHing in games vs lefties).

So against teams like the Ms who have so many righty starters. The twins ain’t hurting for lefties so jeffers doesn’t DH and only starts 2/4. Our best hitter. Every other game. Just wild.

Yep. He was a fine defender, but there were was the occasional "WTF?" moment every now and then. His baffling decisions were also seen on the base paths.

Break up the White Sox, won 4 in a row lol

 

[mr.hockey4242]

17-3 in our last 20 and 2 of the losses were total self sabotages(rocco)

Playing really damn well right now. Have to get Stewart back to balance out the bullpen, his injury is exactly why weve blown the 2 games.

Would be nice to get another starter somehow(thanks front office) thats the real missing piece. Lopz/Ryan/Ober is a great top 3. Paddack is a very good 4. But we need a 5th. SWR has been a nice fill in but the regression is coming and already showed up yesterday.

thats pretty cool....how did it come about you talked to him? interesting

his life was just remarkable.....I think he is prob. the greatest Indian/Guaridan

White Sox freaking killing the Guardians this year....gross.......won the first 2 against Texas though

Ben Lively has been a life saver......maybe in the next 2-3 weeks Williams will be back too--- and Kwan with him.

If the Guardians want to seriously compete they will probably need to get another starter somehow unless Williams comes back healthy nad McKenzie stays healthy.

 

[WiggyRuss]

freaking sign Bauer......that poor guy has paid for anything he might have done wrong 10x over by now.
