Positives from today’s baseball:
Logan Allen keeps em in the park tonight, with a final line of 6IP, 4H, 2R, 4BB, and 5K on 96 pitches. Given that only 53 of those pitches were strikes, the final line is very nice. Little bit more control during at bats and Good Logan Allen will hopefully be here a long time!
While 6 guys got hits tonight, star of the show goes to Gimmy, who goes 3/4 with a double, a home run and 2 RBI. 🧽 also does well going 2/4 with a triple. The bats overall get 4 runs off of 9 hits and two walks.
Bullpen does bullpen things, with DLS, Stephan, and Clase locking down the final three innings. Their final line was- Tito no, you can’t have Bryan Shaw pitch for us too. No Tito NO NO NO-
EVERYBODY in Columbus gets a hit tonight, as they are currently up 7-0 on 10 hits. Delgado and Schneeman both hit home runs, and Valera and Sandy Leon get some doubles. Joey Cantillo goes 5.1IP with 3H, 0R, 2BB and 6K on 92 pitches for a very good night at the office.
E- TITO GOT EJECTED??? HELLO???
Alright, this win is the turning point. There’s no looking back. The prospects are going to ignite the lineup with a spark and the young pitchers will shine just in time for a playoff run when a rejuvenated McKenzie and Bieber some back to lead the way. Yes I am drunk. Go Guardies!!
Eat it, Clev.
Let’s go Diamondbacks!
I don’t know when he’ll eventually face repercussions, but I’m cool with Tito intentionally getting ejected from every game if it sparks some life into this team.
Great win. Go Guards.
Young guys puttin in work and getting the W, ya love to see it!
I mostly box score watch, but it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realized this is a different Logan Allen from the Logan Allen last year.
Cleveland rocks blasting on the speakers. Guardians high fiving each other, fireworks going off, fans cheering and high fiving each other.
And the guy next to me says to his 6 year old kid “Cleveland lost. 3 to 4. White sox won.”
What is this? He doesn’t seem drunk, but even the kid was lkke “uhhhhhh, no they didn’t…….”
Kid knows whats going on. Dad is…….I’m not sure where dads brain is.
We’re winning the whole damn thing
I say we sweep the Sox and take the season series, who’s with me?
Augie looks so proud of Gimmy answering in English <3
We may never lose again!
This concert is so weird. Ketchup, Mustard, and Onion are all getting along in a band??? And Slider is the drummer? And Krazy Bone is the lead singer???
Why are they singing Will Smith songs from the 90s???
BYE BYE BYE
I think I take the jumbotron for granted. It’s HUGE!!!! Kids on the jumbotron are bigger than full size adults.
Czn I get the jumbotron in my living room?
Ok……new plan. We have this same concert tomorrow night. Except Andre Knott is the singer.
I still can’t believe that call got overturned.
NY can eat the shit out of my ass
I’m watching the Twins broadcast and the announcers are trying to figure out if Cleveland actually won or not. Their scorecard says Robert tied it at 4 with a homer so they don’t know what to think lol how did that happen?
Tito is doing his best to be civil here, lol
Really excited for Cleveland to win the next 22 games, breaking their own record.
Jesus the D-Backs continue falling off a cliff
Since getting called up, Oscar Gonzalez is slashing .412/.473/.529 in 19PA.
And of course the Twins get super fucking lucky again
SpongeBob is back and Stephan closed down shop after getting off to a shaky start. Allen struggled but good on him for getting out of the jam. Rocchio has a good game even with the BS call.
Ok, so tonight we learned you can push a mans hand off the base, and THEN tag him out. Challenge, and get the call.
So I say, you’ve redefined where the line is. I no longer know what is legal, and what is not.
So tomorrow we need to push the line, to find out where the line is now. I say we let the runner onto base, and then punch him in the face. When he comes off the bag, tag him out.
What? That’s not how the rules work? Well I’m sorry, I DON’T KNOW how the rules work anymore. I was under the impression that you can’t physically remove someone from being on base. I thought THAT was against the rules!
I’m just trying to learn what is now acceptable.
Congratulations to Clase for moving to 6th all time in Cleveland saves history
MLB replay intentionally makes shitty calls to generate controversy and draw eyeballs.
