We need 3 wins out of them this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The Indians suck against us but frequently beat the Tigers. We can't beat the Red Sox (this year) but the Tigers are .500 against them. And then we're 3 games under now against DET...4-7 now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Cleveland has won 7 of 9 this year against the tigers. Hope they keep it going - we need all the help we can get with the red hot Halo's coming into town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) If the Indians are for real, we're about to find out. 3 at NY 4 at Bal 3 vs LAA 4 vs TB 3 at Tor 4 at TB 4 vs Bal 3 vs Det 3 at Min 3 at KC 3 at Det If they can play these 37 games at 19-18, I'll give them credit. Wouldn't be surprised if they go 14-23. Indians were 37-34, and 0.5 game out on June 24. at NY 0-3 at Bal 3-1 vs LAA 2-1 vs TB 2-2 at Tor 1-2 at TB 2-2 vs Bal 1-3 vs Det 2-1 at Min 0-3 at KC 0-3 at Det 0-1 They really didn't do too bad up until this road trip. But the Twins and Royals knocked them out of the race. And if they split these last two with the Tigers, they will go 14-23 in these 37 games. They gone.

flavum Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 11:37 PM) We're on pace. Based on win pct., the Sox are on pace for 88 wins. Based on remaining strength of schedule, I think they'll get to 90. They just can't get dominated by the Tigers, like 2-5 or worse. If the Tigers play .600 ball, they win 90 games.

caulfield12 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Sounds familiar. All that came with 2 outs against Perez. Five freakin' runs. Incredible. Let's hope the Yankees can cool them off (it's at Comerica though, where they play great) and we can take care of business and not look past the Royals or take them for granted.

Cali Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 It took a sweep of a team playing the worst ball in the league for Detroit to go 6-6 after sweeping the Sox -- who are 9-3 since the sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Another thing I think favors our boys is how much more consistent they are both at home and on the road. Sox are +6 at home +5 on the road. Detroit is +10 at home -2 on the road. This season will come down to this: 9/7-9/16 10 Game Road Trip for Detroit @ LAA for 3 @ SOX for 4 @ CLE for 3 Also the end their season with 6 straight away from Comerica (@ KC @ MIN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Tigers season in review at the 108-game mark: Sox 7-4 Cle 5-7 KC 7-1 Min 5-4 AL Central: 24-16 Bal 2-1 Bos 5-5 NY 2-4 TB 5-2 Tor 1-2 AL East: 15-14 LAA 3-1 Oak 2-2 Sea 1-5 Tex 2-5 AL West: 8-13 Pit 3-3 Col 2-1 Stl 2-1 Cin 2-1 Cubs 2-1 Interleague: 11-7 Home: 31-21 Away: 27-29 Total: 58-50 What they have left, and the record they should have: Home-Away-Total: Sox 3-4-7 (4-3) Cle 3-3-6 (4-2) KC 4-6-10 (7-3) Min 3-6-9 (6-3) Bal 3-0-3 (2-1) NY 4-0-4 (2-2) Tor 3-0-3 (2-1) LAA 3-3-6 (3-3) Oak 3-0-3 (2-1) Tex 0-3-3 (1-2) 29 home/25 road If they match these records, they go 33-21 the final 54 for 91 wins. It would be good if the Sox win the series in Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benchwarmerjim Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 the Red Sox put a waiver claim on Danny Valencia so the Twins traded him for an OFer in the GCL (speed guy, no bat. what a shock) and the Red Sox sent him to AAA. Valencia really looked like a player that could hold down third base for a while after his rookie year (a thing not done since the days of Corey Koskie). But, he never cleaned up his defense and his offense got worse. Maybe the change of teams will do him good, but I highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away our current run at home (what is it now, 12-2?) and things are looking quite different. We were one of the best 2-3 road teams in baseball for the first three months of the season until we went to BOS and DET. Who really knows what we are, but winning more consistently at home (especially when there are big crowds and more of an advantage than earlier in the year) is obviously going to be critical. It's kind of like when every analyst speaks for 10-15 minutes before a big NFL or college match-up and then throws out the, "well, it always comes down to special teams." Win your home games, win your games against divisional opponents, things will take care of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wait, according to you the home record doesnt matter because of their recent good run skewing their previous bad record, but their road record doesnt matter because of a 7 game bad run overshadows a previous 3 month good stretch?
