Say, hey, you know what?

We're not that far back in the standings.

Let's go for it.

So, yeah, I imagine once you've added the third wildcard spot, that will always be in existence.

I think Cleveland has shown that no matter what their roster looks like, no matter what their pitching looks like, no matter what the names that they have in their lineup...

They're going to be right there.

That's fine.

They hawked down the Tigers last year.

So I think they should still be looked at as the class.

of that division with the Tigers.

The Tigers still have a lot of talent on their roster.

It hurts when you don't have the best pitcher in the world, right?

They're not going to have a back-to-back Cy Young Award winner for the next two to three months, right?

Best case scenario, he's back August 1st.

So there is a lot that is going to happen in the American League Central over the next two months.

I'm so fascinated why teams continue to pitch to Nikko in leverage situations.

It's ridiculous.

Because PCA hits the triple.

And then you have Nikko up.

Or Dansby strikes out.
