What the Hell is Going on in the AL Central?

...Nobody is doing well.

NOBODY. NOT EVEN THE FRIGGING INDIANS.

I don't know what it is about this division. Maybe it's the fact that most of the teams were slightly drained of their talent. Maybe it's the fact that a lot of the Twins' signings haven't amounted to anything. Maybe it's the aging core of the Indians' team. But...something's affecting all five teams in the AL Central, to the point where the first place Indians have a .500 record. The first place team is literally even. So yeah. That's what we're up to.

And it's kind of sad, because in spite of all of these losses the Indians have racked up, they're still a pretty good team. The Lindor-Ramirez combo is still one of the most impressive ones in the league. The rotation (AGAIN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JOSH (*^(&^(& TOMLIN) is stellar, with some awesome strikeout work coming from those four guys. Andrew Miller's back, and he's right back to where he left off. Heck, Yan Gomes AND Michael Brantley are both healthy AND playing well. That almost never happens.

It's just...a good portion of the lineup isn't playing well, and a lot of games have been blown by a surprisingly limp bullpen. The surefire success that this team has dealt with for two seasons is a bit harder to come by....however, it's not like anyone in this division is stopping them from staying in first. And that's honestly where I think we're gonna stay for a while.

Coming Tonight: This team had a fantastic week, and they've been cruising back into the top of the standings with the help of their new outfielder, who's been hitting for average better than he ever has.
