7.71 ERA for Zimmermann. On a positive note....Pittsburgh has lost 4 straight and six out of their last seven.
More than likely, the Tiger offense will need to put up a bunch of runs to overcome "Zimmy" and the bullpen.

You have a point...nine of the Indians twelve wins have come against Detroit, KC, and Baltimore. But if the Tigers can do that they might be a .500 ballclub. If you are going to be a team that beats up on weak teams...the AL Central is where you want to be. As they say: "Location, Location, Location"

Why is that important to this forum? Texas probably won't be a post-season contender....and I doubt was ever considered one. Is this just "smack talk"? If so....wouldn't it fit better in the AL West thread?

Zimmermann and Boyd go for Detroit in Pittsburgh. Will Boyd continue to pitch well? Or is it just an early season illusion?

GAFers....anyone want to talk about the continued major increase in strikeouts in MLB? Are baseball games turning into a bizarre game of Home Run Derby?

(Do you need others to back you up?)
You sort of missed my point. I was making reference to the rise of strikeouts. The league set a record last year with over 40,000 Ks. At the rate guys are striking out currently, MLB totals will be over 43,000 this year.
There is no denying that one of the main reasons for the rise in Ks is the desire for most players to swing for the fences. Even small middle infielders who before just tried to put the ball in play are now using swings that are 30 degrees above parallel. Watch Dixon Machado swing.

Yep. Tomlin gets shelled in April and it's time for me to split. I can't sit around and wait until the Indians are the worst team in baseball like you did with the Tigers.

Let's look at the facts ... the Indians are in first place only 2.5 games ahead of the Tigers and Twins. Time to dismantle the Indians. Tomorrow the avatar goes ... good job. I will be looking for some payback in Mid May (the laws of averages have to be on my side) if your owner doesn't panic and trade everyone away!! :lol:

You have dibs on an avi bet for the next Indians/Tigers series. I agree, there has to be some regression to the mean.
