    4/17 vs Guardians

    That wasn't terrible luck, that was the reigning platinum glove winner vs. a dumb runner.

    4/17 vs Guardians

    Cleveland's broadcast said he was awarded a hit… the gamecast I have up says no hit. That would determine what he was called out for – you can't get a hit if you never touched first base.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    Even the ballboy – ball grandpa? – is going to end up on the IL.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    If that first base ump spent half as much time working on his game as he's obviously done developing his style, he'd be great.

    MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for 2 years with no pay

    He also pitched badly early on in Japan last year and then did really well, so these celebrations of his demise in other leagues are seriously premature.

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    Take it from a Guardians fan, making Gabriel Arias look like a star isn't easy.

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    Guards broadcast: They're saying they can't hear each other out there today. After the collision and before Cleveland took the field, their outfielders huddled and emphasized to Florial that he needs to yell at the top of his lungs to call them off.

    Robo strikezone: Not as simple as you think -- Baseball Prospectus

    Yankees beat the Guardians 3-2, with the save going to the home plate umpire who called ball 4 as strike 3 with a runner on 2nd and 1 out. The pitch was way inside and the catcher did nothing to frame it.

    I'd love Carlos Carrasco to be a feel-good story, and his current sub-4.00 ERA is... something. However, his loss of command coupled with a workload that maxes out at 90 pitches suggests he's living on borrowed time.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Counterpoint: Myles Straw. He'll give you Gold Glove defense in centerfield while hitting like a poor #9 hitter. He brings cost certainty for 3-5 years, but there's not a single team out there that wants any part of the $20.45M (including 2027 buyout) he's guaranteed through 2026. Cleveland...

    Let’s Talk About These New Uniforms

    They used a terrible font for the numbers and they're wearing the Marlins colors for the same reason the Red Sox have worn UCLA's colors. That's a City Connect problem, not a "the uniform quality is awful now" problem.

    2024 Guardians: Rockin' the Vogt

    An early look on the prospect front… Kyle Manzardo and Chase DeLauter are both off to cold starts after hot spring training performances that looked like they could accelerate their arrival times. If they're brief slumps, I still expect Manzardo to be in Cleveland before the All-Star break and...

    I love to see Bryan Shaw still pitching in the majors… for the opposing team. The White Sox blew a 5-run lead last night but won anyway. When they did the same again tonight they weren't so lucky.
