Positives from today’s Cleveland baseball:
An early morning pitching duel for baseball fans, and Xzavion Curry makes a triumphant return to the Cleveland rotation. X goes 5IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, and 3K on 73 pitches (had a pitch count at 70 I believe). Placed pitches exactly where he wanted to and likely would’ve gone another inning without the pitch count.
I’m not kidding when I said pitching duel, and the bullpen picked up exactly where X left off. Herrin(2IP!!!)-Sandlin(1IP)-Eli Morgan(1IP) combine for 4IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, and 5K. Herrin had two innings of BEAUTY on the mound, and only allowed the walk due to careful pitching around Tyler O’Neil.
Offense was scarce to start, but 🐦 brought the power when we needed it and the shit goblin abilities showed up in full force. The offense gets 6 runs off of 9 hits and one walk, with nearly all the action came off of the bullpen. Brennan went deep with a 2 run pesky pole homer, Rocchio goes 1/3 and has our lone walk and stolen base, Gabby went 3/4 with a double and a triple, and José sent the Sox into chaos with an RBI double.
The Tyler Freeman CF experiment continues to be a success(fielding-wise). Like seriously, he may not be the gold glove we had previously, but man he’s handling it well out there. Brennan has some nice action out there today as well with that catch right on the wall.
Place: 1st
Division lead: 1
Games to play: 146
Magic number: 146
It was worth the $8 I paid for terrible Wi-Fi on an airplane to watch this win today. Xzavion and Arias were cookin!
X
Bullpen
Chill Will
Slap hitting
Profit
Suck it, BoSux!
Is Gabby hitting himself into more of a role? Could see him getting some starts in RF maybe.
Kind of feels like we needed that after our pitching this past weekend. Solid win y’all— I’ll be in the stands tomorrow!
X man! What a return he made!
Brennan and Arias – yay!
This was a great game! Now back to work 😪
The MVP of the game is number 42
Love seeing the bottom of the lineup getting hits and driving in runs
Top to bottom an outstanding win. Everyone involved did their jobs.
Also, gotta give Vogt his flowers, the way he uses his pinch hitting is light years ahead of what Tito brought to the table
It’s a waiting game. Just wait till we get to your bullpen. 😤
Great way to start the week! Go Guards!
The true Patriots today were the Cleveland Guardians
The issue with Freeman is that he hasn’t been as good as straw at defense, and he’s not putting up better numbers at the plate either. If we were going to make a offense for defense trade off, Freemans gotta start picking it up here. I’d say they give the experiment until June and then they’ll have to make a decision on DeLauter/Rodriguez/Valera/Straw coming up
Is it just me or does Al get cuter every year
Really needed that from X. He was an underappreciated player on this team last year and hopefully he can keep that up this year. Not the upside someone like Bieber or Tristan has but an incredibly steady performer. Need guys like that for a long season.
And Gabi, just when I think I’m out you pull me back in. This is what makes him such an exciting prospect. When it’s rolling it is ROLLING.
It may not be Vogt Coat season anymore, but Vogt is definitely in fashion!!
#Sorry to ruin your Patriots Day party
Arias stocks are so up
I like Arias. Lot of people forget he’s still just barely 24 years old
That was such an awesome start by Curry. I think he’s made a strong case for getting another start.
Also, this is just one of those “eye test” things, but I feel like over the past few years when the offense couldn’t get going in the first few innings, the game was pretty much over. It was really refreshing to see so many runs scored so late in the game. You can chalk some of it up to luck from bad defense by Boston, but I think you make your own luck when you put a lot of balls in play.
Someone on r/baseball called us “small ball baseball terrorists” and I feel like that’s on par with slap hitting shit goblins lmao
4th shutout of the year and counting!
Disgusting win 🎉
We have the best Curry in all major sports
What a fun game. Great pitching from everyone. Weapon X was excellent. Herrin was great. Sandlin and Morgan kept them down.
Some really great ABs early. Huge hits from Arias and Brennan. Fantastic sacrifice bunt from Florial. Forcing their D to make mistakes.
We are a fun fucking team and I’m loving it
What’s the deal with the guardians deleting a tweet that just said “we” and people on Twitter acting like it was a bad thing?
Carrasco could teach Xavion a lot. amazing game
People on twitter are saying Sandy wasn’t coaching 1st today. Hope all is well.
Also, broadcast team mentioned the fire alarms going off at the hotel last night… coincidence or inside job?
Is that a home run from a Cleveland outfielder I see?
Hm.
Now how do *YOU*…like *DEM* apples?
Curry is that dude. Always performs when he gets the call.
So how can this team extend Kwan and Naylor? If you had to choose one, I’m not sure who. Naylor is a better slugger for a team who is desperate for that but a offensive first baseman isn’t very rare in baseball. Is he a next level type player? Maybe able to get him on a deal.
Kwan seems to be a fan favorite. Slap hitter, good average, decent speed hardly any power, probably can get him on a deal.
Who would you want?
