This was a pretty underwhelming game from the offense. They faced a good pitcher in Burke, but boy did they make him look great. A solo HR from Hedgey in the 5th is the only thing that kept this one from being a shutout. Hedges is now hitting .281 with a .756 OPS on the season. I don\u2019t know how long this will last, but it\u2019s been incredibly fun to see him have this kind of production offensively this season, I really hope he can keep it up.<\/p>\n
You know the expectations for Parker Messick<\/a> have changed when I feel underwhelmed seeing him throw 5 innings of one run ball. He is just so fricken good, and this was a perfectly fine outing, but he wasn\u2019t at his best today. Is Tim Herrin<\/a> the least reliable 3.16 ERA reliever ever? I find myself with no confidence anytime he comes into a late inning situation. I know we have been spoiled with bullpens over the last few years, but they have been so disappointing this season.<\/p>\n The Guardians will look to take the series tomorrow at 2:00 pm ET. It will be Tanner Bibee<\/a> vs Chris Murphy<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This was a pretty underwhelming game from the offense.
