[2023 AL Central Division Thread]

Twins early game today. Trying to move to 41-41 before heading up to Baltimore.

Ump sucks

This is like Jordan and Tiger. Enjoy it while it’s happening. Ohtani is incredible.

[2023 AL Central Division Thread]

Twins down big early. Looking like 40-41 for a first half record. I still think they get to at least 82-80. Only question is if the Guardians get hot at some point.

Can’t wait for the first post after TA gets a hit…”shut up haters!”

I smell a QO for Gio.

His first start for the Rangers will be against the Sox. 😃

[Blow it the F Up]

If they blow it up, would Heston Kjerstad be a realistic/good target from Baltimore? He’s had some health problems, but hopefully he’s over it and will be 25 next year.

It’s nice having these 8:38 games end before 11pm. Thanks, pitch timer!

It wouldn’t?

27 games until the deadline. 12-15 would be nice.

I would be absolutely astonished if the Sox bought out TA, even if he doesn't get his s%*# together in 2023.  The next FA class for SS is awful - TA would still have value at 1/$14M, but it certainly would be nice for him to remove his head from his ass.  

You’re right. I could be way off on what his value is right now. We’ll see. I just know he’s probably gone at the end 2024 at the latest, and that’s good enough for me right now.

I’m wondering if he’s even tradeable anymore? What contender is going to want a horrible defender whose bat has turned into a wet noodle, not to mention the non-baseball issues

Yes, and if he stays until then end of the season, there’s a million dollar option the Sox can pay to make him a free agent. Good luck, Tim.

Not going to read the article to completion, but I hope he is happy one day. If that’s what he wants. Maybe he doesn’t. 

[Upcoming Week - Chance to get within 2-3 GB of the Twins]

I feel like this week is more of an opportunity for the Guardians to catch the Twins. 

The Sox will go 3-4 and only gain a half game.

Helluva day

A few days away, but Sunday could be a long day at the park. Otherwise, July 3rd is a possible makeup date.

Why would Ohtani sign with the Sox?

Exactly. Not even worth discussing.

Dodgers or Giants, in my opinion.
