A.L. Central Smack 2015

[Fountain City Blues]

Hopefully not all the Royals.

Especially Herrara. That dudes got a couple suspensions to start serving, imo.

The way the bullpen is going, it really doesn't matter who is pitching- even the ghost of Ryan Madson is doing well. 0.52 ERA en sech. The attitude from this team probably should cool off though by then.

Miggy and the Martinez brothers will take care of that ERA for 'em.

I'd rather not see Ventura start. Volquez though, his appeal can take the longest.

 

[GenJac]

Tigers seem to be back on track after the 4 game skid. I can't wait for the showdown with KC.

 

[Howie115]

Yep, KC series should be fun. Gotta take care of the Twins first. What's the temp look like? David Price in cold weather = puke.

 

[gvsulaker82]

look, when you get to the bigs. you have to act like a pro.
ventura isn't doing that. he needs to . period

Everyone would agree with you that ventura needs to act professional. It has nothing to do with his race though. Both miggy and yordano are latino btw.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Kluber (0-3) gets his first win today... hopefully

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Edinson Volquez drops his appeal- Chris Young likely gets a start in his place. In all reality though- Volquez is moved back a day. Another example of how toothless MLB's suspensions actually are.

I'd question how the Royals are that high, but hey, it's just a random list in April.

RS to RA differential is what I'm guessing.

holy cow, strange to see them up in the top 5, let alone 1st.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

ESPNs power rankings are retarded.

Two straight weeks the Twins have been in the bottom 4 when their record is more like 20th at worst.

Not saying the Twins don't have a good chance at finishing 27 or 28th in baseball but
That's not the point of these things.

So much inconsistency if you look at it. Might be time for new baseball writers.

Lot of people jumped on the "Twins are the worst team in baseball" bandwagon after their slow start on offense. Very weird to me- not like the Twins don't have bats. Phillies don't have much of well... anything.

Yeah right now the offense actually is pretty damn bad though lol. Like I said yesterday I don't even know how we have managed to win so many games ha.

But these PR are usually how you are currently doing hence why the Mets are in 2nd. So how the hell are the 8-10 Twins 27/30.

Or better yet the 7-12 Nats in the teens.

The mets are not the 2nd best teams in baseball and won't end there. So inconsistent lol.

 

[GenJac]

The Royals need to regain their focus. Untimely hitting and errors lost that Sox series. Not the playing conditions, they were the same for both teams. And as for bad-mouthing the opposition, well only the Yankees and Astros are hot in the AL as of today. Not the Royals or Tigers. I hope to see a renewed attitude in the KC dugout tonight. They know how to win.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Moustakas looks like an entirely different hitter this year. He would never be hitting anything to left on purpose, and hell to the no would they be linedrives.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Alrighty, Smartypants Bauer. We'll see about that.

Gotta come prepared when you play the KC Thugs

 

[dougplayer]

My focus has been on the NHL playoffs and most notably the Wild so I haven't seen a lot of full Twins games recently but somehow we are 8-10 and 7-5 since that awful 1-5 start.

Honestly don't really know how. Our defense sucks. Nobody is currently hitting(at least of the regulars sans maybe Mauer), all our starters have pretty shitty ERAS I believe with Hughes being fuckin winless. And whenever I watch(besides today) our bullpen sucks.

Whatever!!! Wins are wins!! Lol

so mr hockey you seen the underdog red wings winning. if not for late game 4 choke job..wings would have advanced already.. they will tonight

Well, you might get beat up, but on the scoreboard.
