    Javier Baez outdoes himself once again, getting caught between 2nd and 3rd as the Manfred Man in the 10th inning… on a grounder to the shortstop with no one out.

    Let’s Talk About These New Uniforms

    The road gray tops are embarrassing. As soon as someone sweats in those, they become an obvious two-toned jersey.

    Sure, but he was 2-for-2 with 2 home runs in the first 2 innings, so he kind of choked after that.

    Kyle Manzardo is making his MLB debut for Cleveland as the DH in the 7th spot. Fortunately, someone has informed idiot PBP guy Matt Underwood since spring training that his name isn't Manzanardo.

    2024 Guardians: Rockin' the Vogt

    It turns out that Chase DeLauter has a fracture in the same foot that has sidelined him each of the past two years... starting to panic a little. Steven Kwan strained his hamstring yesterday, is out of the lineup today and is awaiting results of an MRI. It's deemed day-to-day for now, but Kyle...

    Unusual plays

    Rafael Devers' cousin Jose won a game for Lake County (Guardians Hi-A) in a run-down walk-off as part of a 9-2-5-2-5, E-5. The batter was Justin Boyd – the garbage player they traded Will Benson for.

    Unusual plays

    Hard to believe that not a single member of the crew knew the rule or called for a powwow to tell that umpire how badly he screwed up and reverse the call. It might be a rare play but equipment not counting as a body part there should be a pretty clear and simple rule to retain.

    2024 Guardians: Rockin' the Vogt

    There's been a George Valera sighting! He returned from a hamstring injury to play his first game of the year at AAA tonight and went 2-for-3 with a double and two walks. Kyle Manzardo is just killing AAA pitchers (.323 BA, 8 HR) and is forcing Cleveland's hand to make a move soon. Releasing...

    In less than shocking news, Byron Buxton left with a sore knee in the 2nd inning today after he was caught stealing. It followed his 100th plate appearance of the year, so this was pretty deep into the season for him to still be healthy.

    I've been in and out watching this game. While watching it, Cleveland has outscored Houston 8-0, while not watching it, the Astros have outscored the Guardians 8-0. Granted, I did see Carrasco getting himself in deep $*@# before I tapped out for a while, but Houston scored their 8 runs across 2...
