Positives from today’s Cleveland baseball:
Just let Dr Sticks do his thing! He goes 5IP, 3H, 1R, 3BB, and 6K on 84 pitches. The sole run was a leadoff shot, and sure he wasn’t perfect afterwards, but he did his job! Also Freeman has a heck of a CF glove behind him, hot damn.
Bats are swinging and runs are crossing as the offense gets 10 runs off of 9 hits, 4 walks, and a Gimmy SB. Today is 🆓 day with a 2 run blast and a single, and a late 💨 solo blast for the dagger. They got 2 RBI hits from Kwan and Gimmy, and a Florial 3/4 day, as everyone got on base at least once.
Bullpen takes over in the 6th again, with Herrin(1IP)-Beede(2IP)-~~Barlow(1IP)~~ as they (minus Brent Rooker) completely handle Oakland. They combine for 4IP and 4K with ~~no baserunners (again, minus Brent Rooker).~~ Barlow ffs my hands are cold, stop making me change this blurb
Columbus takes a 9-3 win behind J.Rod and Schneeman 2 run home runs, and Schneeman, Pries, Manzardo(x2), and Lavastida doubles, as Manzardo has a 3/4 day at the plate. Nic Enright made another strong 2IP outing, giving him a 0.00 ERA over 9IP with 19K and only 1 walk on the season.
There’s knee jerk reactions, and then there’s a chunk of the game thread when Sticks gives up a leadoff solo home run. Yall need to like smoke some something to chill before the games (and just overall tbh) lmfao
.700 winning percentage!!
This game has been booked
Double digit runs. Love to see it.
Love the way the team is playing right now, like they have something to prove

Good teams dominate bad teams, keep it rolling!
14-6 best start since ‘99. Bats were warm after that 5th inning.
Josh Naylor has quickly become an all-time favorite Guardian/Indian in my eyes so very quickly. Love watching Jose and that man play baseball.
Oakland had a nice start, and a good end.
Everything else in-between went our way.
This team has already given me more confidence than any time last year. The team is winning dominantly without everything going right. People better stop sleeping on this ball club. They’re for real with or without elite starting pitching.
Let’s go!! Sticks settled in and our offense came to life. What more do ya want?
Same 20 game start as 1995, the season that made me fall in love with this team at 5 yrs old
I’m just so glad we’re fun to watch again.
Being best in the MLB is just a bonus.
13.1 scoreless for Enright going back to last year. With his story (picked in the rule 5 last year and diagnosed with cancer less than two weeks later), seeing his success is great and with how bullpen arms go, he’s knocking on the door for a major league look finally.
Edit: meant as a reply to DZ but maybe Enright deserves his own comment anyway.
Traveling & I didn’t get any notifications about the #Guards game. 10-2, boys? HOT DAYUM
Will have deep internal love for the athletics and the shit they are going through
Nonetheless it’s nice to destroy teams. Let’s keep it going
Based team and manager
Daaang. We have so many guys that aren’t even hitting that well yet and we are hanging 10 on other teams. Imagine if Rocchio and Brennan were hitting.
Good to see guys like Florial and Freeman have a day
It doesn’t feel right feeling this way in April.
GG EZ
Good stuff from the squad today. Keep the train rolling. Vogt ‘24.
Steven Kwan
Is anyone else concerned about Bo Naylor?
It’s unclear if we’re really good or have just been playing some really bad teams lately but damn if having an offense isn’t fun
We are already in quite a pennant race (I know it’s early). It looks like Kansas City actually doesn’t suck this season. If we can keep this up, it’s gonna be a really fun season. Love the way they are playing.
Can we just play the As for the rest of the season?
Freeman truthers, we are having a week! We’re freakin’ 14-6 and Jose hasn’t even awakened yet. Buckle up 😎
Now I’m mad at myself for getting tickets for the Saturday game instead of tonight
Based on how the Os/Royals game is going we are either going to have the best run differential in Baseball by the end of the night or be barely trailing behind the Royals.
Which, really, is something I NEVER expected to say, on several levels.

Awesome game on a nice chilly night. Perfect W
Clearly we all had us at 14-6 after 20 games right?
You can spend a ton of money and put all of the best players on the same team, but you can’t pay for chemistry.
Great game. Watched the fifth inning from the old bullpen.
