May 8, 20223 yr If we continue to get this version of Franimal, Owen Miller and Clase look out. October bound ⚾️
May 8, 20223 yr ^ I’m loving the plate discipline and forcing pitchers to throw a lot of pitches. I was at 5 out of 6 of these home stand games (had to miss the Sat night win due to Journey concert) and we played very solid baseball. Could easily have taken both against the Padres. Things are looking good right now. My hovercraft is full of eels
May 10, 20223 yr Amazing comeback win for the Guardians at the White Sox last night! Frustrating that the articles on the game on Cleveland.com are riddled with as many errors as a White Sox defense (clearly the writers didn’t actually watch the game) and MLB.com *still* managed to make Othani their top story (for the 1,836rd consecutive day). If he’d done what Naylor did last night, they would be filming the mini-series already. My hovercraft is full of eels
May 10, 20223 yr Yeah Naylor went absolute beast mode last night! MLB Network’s MLB Central led with the comeback and Naylor’s big night and did a great job of breaking down Owen Miller’s at bat that led to Naylor’s approach on the grand slam. And how awesome is it we got those two guys and Quantrill for Clevinger anyway!?

May 19, 20223 yr Guardians swept by the lowly Reds. Only 3 hits today. Nice game by Tyler Naquin. I wish he was still with Cleveland. Edited May 19, 20223 yr by LibertyBlvd
June 7, 20223 yr So now we have a player getting injured running in from the bullpen. Good grief. "Shaw is day-to-day after Francona said he tweaked his calf while running in from the bullpen for his June 1 appearance against Kansas City. Shaw pitched through tie injury at the time, but Francona is trying to give him as much rest as he can."
June 7, 20223 yr ^ I’ll be there today for the DH. Also got to see us on the road in Baltimore this past weekend. There were a *ton* of Guardians fans at that series. My hovercraft is full of eels
June 14, 20223 yr yes it's very weird how the second place guards are seven games behind the twins and have played seven less games than them. oh well, the good news is they took 3 or four from the lowly a's --- now its time for a rocky mountain high 3 game set vs the rockies -- bieber starts today -- if he can unfreeze his face (that's a justin joke). 😅

June 15, 20223 yr Reminds me of Manny having 165 RBIs in 1999 and STILL not winning the MVP. Went to Pudge that year. Edited June 15, 20223 yr by TBideon

June 16, 20222 yr yes for sure excellent news especially as far as ballpark village moving along. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34102163/minority-stake-cleveland-guardians-goes-david-blitzer-future-option-controlling-interest-per-reports
June 18, 20222 yr I can't believe we beat Kershaw (well, no-decisioned him). An in LA no less. Could be in first place in less than 24 hours (Twins playing in Arizona tonight). Edited June 18, 20222 yr by TBideon
June 18, 20222 yr Had it not been for that fielding miscue last Saturday, they might have already been in first place. Oh well.
June 19, 20222 yr I jinxed it folks. Frustrated by both games. Come on Arizona, what the F was that???
June 22, 20222 yr Some interesting deign thoughts and observations: https://www.insomniacstudios.co/cleveland-guardians-logo

Whatever the reason, the new Cleveland Guardians logo designs feel too connected to the team’s past and former offensive name. This is revisionist. The name was offensive to like seven people.

Well thank you for that. What this thread really needs is to dredge up this fight again.

June 22, 20222 yr 8 hours ago, KJP said: It's so nice to see - especially from such a young team. It almost seems like just about everybody is making a contribution. Even Myles Straw with the horrible year he is having at the plate is still contributing on the defense side. If Oscar Gonzalez can stay hot on offense, that will help ease the blow of Straw's weakness at the plate. Also it was great to see Civale have a halfway decent outing. Getting him back on track will be nice. If he falters, there are some great options in the farm system that are probably ready for prime time too!
June 23, 20222 yr Now this is a wild game! Edit: Now bottom of the 9th. Boy, wild wasn't half of it. Edited June 23, 20222 yr by TBideon
June 23, 20222 yr A shame they reduced capacity at the ballpark. The weekend games coming up vs Red Sox and Yankees could have drawn 40K+.
June 23, 20222 yr Boston this weekend, then back to the Twins early next week. New York/Houston should be a fun series. Edited June 23, 20222 yr by TBideon
June 23, 20222 yr I gave up on them after they went 1-2-3 in the top of the 8th. I was stunned to see 30 minutes later they had won. The Guardiac Kids... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 29, 20222 yr 5 losses out of 6 as I write. One sided losses in 3 of the last 4 games and a home stand that could be turning into a disaster. One thing about the Guardians- Indians - there’s no team better at raising your hopes and then completely dashing them again. Edited June 29, 20222 yr by CleveFan

One thing about the Guardians- Indians - there’s no team better at raising your hopes and then completely dashing them again. Disappointing home stand no doubt, but they did win this afternoon.
June 29, 20222 yr They are struggling to score runs. They are averaging less than 2 runs a game since that 11 run game vs Twins last week. This weekend vs Yankees could be ugly.
June 30, 20222 yr Once again, I gave up on the game when they went down 6-3 in extras. I was stunned to see the chatter on Twitter this AM that they'd won. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 30, 20222 yr I was listening to the game out here in NJ and it was thrilling. i was extremely disappointed to see the attendance was about 12,000 for the night. c’mon Cleveland - that’s not acceptable! Edited June 30, 20222 yr by CleveFan
June 30, 20222 yr I was one of the 12,000. I think the actual attendance was probably under 10,000. I must confess we (and many others) left after the Twins went up 6-3 in the top of the 10th. We got to the car, turned on the radio and heard Hammy going crazy.
July 4, 20222 yr well, at least the guards stopped the yankee buzzsaw for one day. glad to have them off the schedule for the rest of the season.
July 4, 20222 yr Nice win. I was expecting a sweep. Good job by McKenzie. Let's hope Reyes is finally breaking out of his slump.
July 5, 20222 yr Lethargic performance by Guardians vs Tigers probably due to jet lag from that 20 minute flight to Detroit.
