lucchino‘s overall run with the Red Sox was outstanding - he was a HUGE net positiveYou want to bring back the guy who forced his GM to hire Bobby fucking Valentine?? Good lord.

yeah but bloom was two games away from the World Serieslucchino‘s overall run with the Red Sox was outstanding - he was a HUGE net positive
And Whitlock was a fun story for a couple of years.yeah but bloom was two games away from the World Series
even during these down times there is always an optimist in the groupThis could be the last inning of Kluber’s career.
I don't know about that, but it had fucking better be the last inning of his Red Sox career.This could be the last inning of Kluber’s career.
Someone will give him a shot at the league minimum.This could be the last inning of Kluber’s career.
Is someone trying to tank for a good draft position? Oakland?Can't help but feel like they're showcasing Kluber for a trade.
He's taking one for the team.This could be the last inning of Kluber’s career.
Plumbing?Can't help but feel like they're showcasing Kluber for a trade.
He will end up on the Rays and be rejuvenated.This could be the last inning of Kluber’s career.
maybe it’s hard to build an identity when you turn over half the roster every yearMy deep thoughts for tonight - this team is so fucking uninspired and just plain not fun to watch.
Not a trade to a baseball team.Is someone trying to tank for a good draft position? Oakland?
Kluber’s future is more Trader Joe‘s than a trade.Can't help but feel like they're showcasing Kluber for a trade.
A trade for what? We would need to include something of value to get a team to take him.Can't help but feel like they're showcasing Kluber for a trade.
Not a trade to a baseball team. Like to a rogue state for a prisoner of war or something.A trade for what? We would need to include something of value to get a team to take him.
Well said. It’s very hard to find much to latch on to, at least for me.maybe it’s hard to build an identity when you turn over half the roster every year
Managing like he doesn’t give a shitNow we have someone warming? What is Cora even doing?
Not true. If the goal is to suck, then it is working perfectly.The whole plan of signing pitchers who are injured or are reclamation projects on one year contracts has been a crappy plan.
There haven’t been nearly enough “wins” in Chaim’s personnel moves. I’m ready to move on.Overreaction, but part of Chaim’s job while bridging the gap to the next wave of prospects is to avoid wasting 8 figures on the Kluber of the world. This albatross signing has me leaning towards firing him for the first time, although tomorrow I’ll probably go back to feeling ambivalent either way.
Also top notch work.Not a trade to a baseball team. Like to a rogue state for a prisoner of war or something.
And he’d be a total moron walking away from like $7 millionIf Kluber has an ounce of self respect he’ll announce his retirement tomorrow morning
Nothing like facing the Red Sox pitching to improve those numbersFor those wondering, the Guardians are next to last in the AL in runs scored.
And at what point does this fanbase stop making excuses for Chaim Bloom and just accept that he’s not good at his job?I know bloom is the ultimate decision maker, but isn’t it likely that a lot of guys in the FO weighed in on the Kluber, Eovaldi, Hill, and Wacha decisions…like at what point do we have an mlb scouting issue, not just a gm one?
Exactly. Kluber saved the pen some innings. He understood what his job was tonight.Obviously Cora was trying to save arms for the Yankees series and it certainly looks like he will need a lot of them.
Why? If they don’t start hitting it won’t matter.Obviously Cora was trying to save arms for the Yankees series and it certainly looks like he will need a lot of them.
I just don't understand how JHW doesn't watch a performance like tonight (or all season for that matter) and think "Holy shit! That's $10 million of my money that's being set on fire out there!"They gave this guy $10 million dollars. What in the world led to that evaluation? I know money isn't real in baseball, but man, I have to imagine that could be better used elsewhere on the roster.
Still time to fix that tonight.For those wondering, the Guardians are next to last in the AL in runs scored.
