The AL Central Rundown

Not the most enjoyable listen for Twins fans as we discuss the Pohlad Family pulling the Twins off the market and question what I may mean in the future

Apparently, August is the month of interdivisional series- there's a lot of them all at once. Cleveland is making Detroit nervous, the Royals are treading water, and the Twins might not be quite as bad as we thought. In the spirit of the Tigers 0.2% postseason odds this time last year, we look at the current playoff picture.

The trade deadline has come and gone. All is quiet on the Western Front. Now, it is time for everyone to complain about how their front office is incompetent. Twins had a fire sale, Royals soft bought while the Guardians sold a little and White Sox did some things. And how bout those Tigers, huh?

So, what's going on with the Tigers? and for that matter, what is going on with the Guardians? The White Sox are on a heater, and we tier list potential trade chips for the selling teams

1 division, likely 4 selling teams and we discuss the draft.

In this episode we talk about the All-Star Rosters, The Guardians losing 10 straight, the Royals and Twins showing life (kinda?) and Luis Ortiz is under investigation. 

Dan and Eric try to be romantic about baseball while watching their teams struggle while the Tigers continue to flourish. We then talk about how good Tarik Skubal has been and talk about previous draft results. 

The Twins in a massive cold streak, The Tigers coasting and the Royals very bad, no-good offense. We then talk a look at each farm system as the Draft and Trade Deadline approaches. #baseball #alcentral #detroittigers #minnesotatwins #clevelandguardians #whitesox #kansascityroyals

Dan, Sam, and Eric discuss a not a great week for 3 of the division's teams, ever more injuries and some 1000ft draft strategies. 

In the spirit of Carlos Rodon recently shoving against the Guardians, we talk about past and present AL Central Meneceses. The Tigers still run this house and the Royals being one of the more frustrating teams to watch.

Injuries, Billionaire Bidders, Retired Numbers and Lee declares the Detroit Tigers the best team in baseball.

In the episode we talk about how excited we all are for Rivalry week...well kinda. The Tigers are still up front and 3 teams are basically tied for 2nd.

In this mega episode we talk about the division being streaky, MLB unbanning Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson and spend the majority of the episode talking about how we are feeling after the first quarter of the season. 

Sam and Eric catch up on the happenings around the red-hot Royals, the freakin Pope being a White Sox Fan and Salvador Perez.

In this episode we with Kenta Maeda best in his future endeavors, Royce Lewis Returns and Jose Ramirez entering elite Hall of Fame company

Today we talk about the yet another promising Twins Prospect on the IL, the Tigers still rolling, the Naylor Brothers own The Twins and what are some of the divisions biggest "what ifs"

Near the one month mark we discuss the Tigers still on top, Cleveland in the mix and then....a step down for the rest of the division. We take a dive into key off season moves, how they have worked out and Oren Manzardo?

In this episode, we talk about why Simeon Woods Richardson should hesitate from trash talking, the surprising Tigers offense and the strength of KC’s starting rotation.

The Central is off to a great start in the 2nd week of the season, with no one above .500. The group talks about the division's woes less than 10 games.

2 days into the season we give our quick thoughts to the micro sample size of games. We also go give our thoughts on a very bad day for MLB.tv. The Twins being to be REALLY bad the business of baseball and the Yankees being dirty, dirty cheaters. 

Does it count as a season preview if you technically drop the episode after Opening Day?...You d***m right it does! Dan covers the Guardians and we talk about roster surprises.

Today we welcome Dan to the group as our new Cleveland fan and we discuss what to expect with The White Sox and The Twins

With just over a week left of Spring Training, we discuss yet another Royce Lewis injury and who will start opening day for the White Sox. In the bulk of this episode, Lee and Sam discuss the 2 biggest surprises from 2024 and tell us why we should believe in the Tigers and Royals
