All hail our ginger prince! I’ll never forget Paul Skenes Bobblehead Day!
Love this dude. Definitely seems to be carrying the dirtbag title quietly but well. Manzo just seems like a gamer, he’s not likely to be the vocal leader of our team like Naylor was, but definitely pulled his weight the second half of the season. I can’t wait to see what he does with everyday at bats, the muscle he’s added this offseason, and a more stable mentality. First half of the year he was dealing with his ailing mother, who I believe passed. I hope he and his family have some closure going forward and that translates into him hitting the cover off the ball for us.
Kyle hitting a bomb off Civale was one of my favorite memories from last year.
He’s gonna have a monster year this coming season. Well.. he’s poised to have a monster year. If those relievers we signed for that bucket of baseballs can protect him in the line up. If not quality pitches are gonna be hard to come by
Not very “fan friendly” in terms of being personal with fans but he locks in pregame so I get it
Manzardo hit 27 HRs in his age 24 season, his first full season. Cleveland fans should be more excited about this guy.
