  1. This team played (and frankly, managed) like they’re ready for a vacation

  3. With the Twins down 12-1, I’m going to assume they’ll lose. Here we are going into the break:

    |**Team**|Record|GB|
    |:-|:-|:-|
    |Guardians|45-45|-|
    |Twins|45-46|0.5|
    |Tigers|39-49|5.5|
    |White Sox|38-53|8.0|
    |Royals|26-65|20.5|

    **Guardians Magic Number: 72**

  4. Happy we’re in first. But that was a very poor showing from Tito. Dude needs a few days off

  5. It’s only one game so no big deal. But man losing to the royals always stings seeing how bad they are.

  6. Hate on me all you want, but Bieber is losing trade value every time he pitches. The AL Central is weak. We don’t need him to win this division….

  7. Entering the break at .500, Twins are getting obliterated rn, our guys except Jose are getting the rest they need (specially the Bullpen). I’m ok with this loss tbh but I will be a bit mad at Amed for dumb baserunning

  8. This was close to the worst game of the season, ASB comes at the perfect time

  10. Positives from Today’s Baseball:

    We’re not Minnesota, please donate to the fund sending them flowers in the hospital because YIKES

  12. Imagine we had a HR hitter up there, Straw up you know it’s over SpongeBob with that same pitch it’s gone tie game

  13. Bieber just isn’t the ace he used to be it seems. He’s still one of my favorite players and it sucks seeing him lose that ELITE edge he once had.

  14. There is going to be an inordinant amount of /r baseball shitposts about **DAE AL CENTRAL BAD!** now that no central team will have a winning record at the all star break…

  17. Maybe Biebs should consider another catcher besides Cam. If not the entire game, at least the third time through the order…

  18. inb4 r/baseball: “nO tEaM iN tHe AL cENtRaL eNtERs thE BReAk aBOvE .500”
