It's electric downtown Cleveland with these guards. I had chills down my butt crack watching the rally and them closing out the game. Wish I could go to every game, fireworks display was awesome. This team will be there at the last dance this fall. Go Guardinans we love you From Canton Ohio.
Ideally, he would be a long reliever rather than a starter because five innings seems to be his limit. It isn't his fault that he is being asked to do too much.
The Guardians seem to have found a sweet spot with 5 in a row and 6 of the last 7 games. Two runs from walks home and a couple of fumbled plays by the Orioles were almost the difference.
How about that behind the back, no look flip By Giminez to Rocchio?! At first look I didn't think he was on the bag. But, slow mo cam confirms, Brayan dragged his foot. Carrasco and rook Cade Smith (pitching great) seemed to get a break on called strike 3's in consecutive innings: Both outside to lefty batters. Gotta love the first place Guardians with a 5 game win streak, after appearing to be in dire straits. Ah, baseball. Oh, and how about that great baserunning by ... Austin Hedges?! "when it rains it pours", if you are an O's fan (at least for a day).
I'll fully admit the home plate ump needs an eye exam but that was still an amazing game put together by the whole team. The Guardians approach every game this way and when it all comes together they seem unstoppable. Go Guards!
Guardians playing some good fundamental baseball. Not just with the long ball with thursday nights game. But no homers last night, still scored 8 runs with about almost half of those runs being manufactured and good fundamental heads up base running. Goes to show you they can also beat you playing small ball as well. Just an all around fun team so far this year.
A terrific win for the Guardians after the game was close till the 6th. Usual, reliable Cleveland RP Scott Barlow almost letting the O's back into the ballgame giving up 3 runs. Sigh. Thankfully, the Guardians bullpen bent but didn't break, with Closer Emmanuel Clase close the door in the 9th.
Man I love this team even more than the 2016 team so fun to watch. But could someone tell me why Smith got the win according to ESPN when Cookie left with the lead and we never gave it up confused by that?
Against our Guards. Nope. They do have some great young players just getting their first Big League experiences. They're going to be a very very good team once all of these kids get acclimated.
This is what the Indians do. Just the basics and for some reason it adds extra pressure Baltimore and Phili have made some very weird choices while playing us. Keep it rolling guys
MLB needs to speed their shit up with producing these highlight videos! It’s unreal how long it takes compared to other sports to put one out once the game ends
The orioles will be a problem eventually, but they’re so young they’ll have games like this. To put it simply, these little league type errors - left field no man’s land ball, not going to first for the out in a bunt, the failed run down, experienced teams will eat this for breakfast lunch and dinner. Needs to be fast learning experience for them or it will be an October for “experience” and nothing else. The Guards window is now, the orioles window will keep opening but I’d give it 2 years before they’re real contenders
As a Cleveland fan I think the O's are still a contender. They made multiple errors tonight and they still kept the game within reach. They still have time to clean up the mistakes
Orioles have been playing footsie with their talent rich farm system. They need to put a set line up on the field and let them play together. The pitching is still problematic---especially the bullpen. Big question as to whether that will get better with the present cast of characters. As pointed out they have not been playing solid defense which has greatly hurt them. They are one year and a couple pitchers away from being the dominant team in the AL.
When is Hyde going to do something about this high school level fielding? It's killing this team. He should have them on the field after the game for HOURS until they get it right. What does it say to the players when there is no accountability for this? And how do players make it to this level w no fielding skills? We learned in little league to get in front of a ground ball w your glove on the ground. These guys - all of them move to the side. This is little league basics. 2 errors on Holiday, 2 on Henderson - 3 if you count when he obviously failed to call the popup that Cowser and Mayo missed (2 runs) and WHY, Why? wasn't Hendo there before them if he is so fast? You can't just sit in the dugout and do nothing about this. LET's GO BRANDON!
can always use more pitching. But I wouldn’t bring him back for the playoffs, no way. Not after that absence. Squad without the Beibs has some serious mojo
