Kyyle23 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Has anyone noticed that 4 of the 5 teams in the AL central are in the top 5 ERA's in the AL? That is pretty impressive for a division that is supposed to be the weakest of the 3 divisions. As I saw them last night, they were listed Minnesota Twins Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians (insert team) Detroit Tigers If anyone knows the team I am missing, fill me in, I was half paying attention when that stat was flashed on the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shows me how awesome their bullpen is, their starters are good, but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually besides Scott Shields, Francisco Rodriguez and Brendon Donnelly, the Angels bullpen is pretty thin. But those 3 guys make up for it.

bulokis Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 If somehow Shingo and Viz lower their respective ERA's down, we should be at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayitaintso Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I was just thinking about this. With the team ERA being second in the ML, when Kevin Walker was on the team and then we sent him down to AAA, would his ERA for the time he played with us stay here or does it go away like he was never here.

3E8 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 The only reason us four are in there is because we've each had a healthy dose of the Royals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would help your team ERA lower, except if your the Royals, then in that case help your team ERA higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pitched for the Sox so his ERA is included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDylan Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I think this trend has something to do with the fact that the AL Central doesn't score runs. Or is it because the pitching staffs are so darned good? I'd guess more the former because the AL Central doesn't have any power line-ups. Tigers? Maybe. Cleveland? Not this year. There is no Boston or Baltimore in the AL Cenral and I think that can be attributed a lot to Cleveland having such a great team ERA as well as even the Twins. I believe the Sox are the most balanced pitching staff of the three and the Indians and Twins anchor more on their bullpens, but as I said before, the AL Central is not a hitting division this year.
