Before we begin, don’t bring up pathetic divisions from like 1982.
I don’t care about shit that happened before I was born.
Since the Lindor/Ramirez/Miller/Kluber led Indians were a thing, the division has been really, really bad.
That’s not the case this year, however.
Only like…1/2 kidding when I say that.
Just a total embarrassment to MLB.
Look morons, I know the White Sox stink and fuck everything up.
I promise that nobody knows that more than I do.
That doesn’t mean CLE and MIN don’t also stink, because they do.
They’d both be the worst teams in the AL East.
They’d both be fighting for 3rd or 4th place in the AL West.
That’s just a fact.
That doesn’t mean the White Sox would do better in another division, because they wouldn’t either.
Those two things have nothing to do with each other though.
Simply put, the AL Central is an abomination to the lord, Jesus Christ.
You’re gonna have off years with that method.
This is more than likely one of those years.
Tito’s the best manager in MLB plain and simple though.
That’s basically where the buck stops with them, however.
At least at the big league level, as they also have a top 5ish farm system.
Cleveland sucks this year sure, but they’ll be back.
Just not this year.
The team has 28 bombs this year through 46 games.
Uhhhh Cleveland, the dead ball era called, they want their offense back!!!
Ever heard of the saying, “ball go far, team go far”?
NOBODY wins anything of substance with a team that hits so little bombs.
The Guardians completely fucking stink.
They might win the division but it’s not because they’re good.
It’s because the rest of the ALC is really fucking bad.
I then went and made this comment and Twins fans didn’t take too kindly to it:
Look…
I’ve been watching baseball a long time.
I can use my eyes.
Anyone with a slightly above average baseball acumen can watch them and would land at the same conclusion.
BuT SOnnY GRaY!!!!!
Joe Ryan!!!
PABLO LOPEZ!!!!
Look, shut the fuck up.
Yes, that’s a FINE 1-3.
Nor does Joe Ryan.
Nor does Pablo Lopez.
And don’t even get me started with how bland their offense is.
That dude was built in a lab to destroy dog shit 2nd division pitching like the AL Central.
Not real teams with real pitchers.
Yes they might win the division.
That doesn’t mean they’re good.
Don’t care that they have a few nasty wings in the backend of their pen, either.
They’re just not good.
Sorry if this TRUTH offends.
Let’s briefly talk about the Tigers and the Royals:
These two teams completely fucking STINK.
Pair that with Akil Baddoo?
Jake Rogers (who???)
and his team leading 5 home runs thus far?
You’re dog shit.
Your whole team is.
E-Rod won’t be there too long, either.
Once he’s gone, the Tigers 28th ranked pitching staff will be even worse.
Speaking of Torkelson…man what a disappointment he’s been thus far.
He makes Andrew Vaughn look like a superstar.
The Royals are just pathetic, by the way.
That’s a team that relies on scouting, minor league infrastructure and keen signings to succeed.
Well guess what?!?!
The Royals are ranked 28/30 in organizational prospect rankings, per MLB.com.
Same goes for DET and the Sox aside from a small handful of players.
They’re the grossest offenders of all the offenders in the AL Central.
But let’s talk about why the White Sox STINK.
Brutal mid-tier signings that end up being money pit liabilities on the spreadsheet.
Total dog shit minor league scouting/drafting/development system.
Lots and lots of injuries.
THREE FUCKING MANAGERS IN A CONTENTION WINDOW!!
It’s truly amazing how bad they fucked this thing up.
“See!!!
3 playoff appearances in 4 years, we have sustained success!!!!”
If that’s what they sell us, nobody will buy it.
The organizations warts have been on FULL display over the last year or so.
It’s a goddamn shame.
So there you have it.
This AL Central is the worst division I can remember in all my years as a baseball fan.
