This team had another gear.

BROOO LET'S GO wait i'm tape delayed. chase meidroth just hit a home run though

let's go!!!!

if yamamoto can do it, so can smith and taylor. in every series

🤢

let's fuckin go, guys. i'm turning this game on in the 5th inning because 4pm on tuesday is a stupid fucking time to show a playoff game, but this is the result i'm happy to see

4pm on a week day is such a ridiculous time to be showing a playoff game

welp

I don’t believe this. He’s just always been streaky and now he’s getting hot again. can he hit 5 more bombs in 2 games?

man on the mune is back

why is this s%*# stickied lmao

he made it really awkward

nice save, ant man.

Grich is a great pick but I bet they give it to Yordan. Ezequial Duran is an option too, although for him I think things finally just clicked.

I saw that quote and I wonder why the people giving an employee $500mil don’t make that expectation crystal clear. In most other careers, Vlad is totally right, you get paid based on your level of experience and qualifications and not necessarily your anticipated production. Not so in sports. Maybe Vlad should know better or maybe competent management should relay that directive to their employees.

Colson had an excellent sense of the zone in the minors, it's arguably why he was such a high prospect, but it hasn't translated to the MLB. Yet. I think in his first year, he was taking too many close pitches, now he seems to swing at everything. I think he'll figure it out. He's still only 24 and has a ton of talent.

Steve traveled out of town? Unbelievable

Lmao I forgot baseball was being played and it’s already 9-1.

I don't see a connection. Are the latter three injury prone because they play through injuries or is it because they're made of glass? Tim just got old. If Martin can suit up and play and pitch like he has been, he needs to. I bet he'd be the first person to say that.

Now is exactly the time to be playing hurt. I’m sure everyone involved in the decision making, especially the player, agrees with that statement. Well maybe not the doctor but he’s probably a nerd anyway.

I really like the Eckersley comparison. Castillo has very good postseason stats, seems fair to say he has another gear, maybe he re-discovers his stuff out of the bullpen and the trade isn't a total bust. All things considered, I'd probably still have more confidence in Castillo to pitch well in the postseason than Mason Adams or McDougal.

Anything that happens during 'garbage time' of the season is still going to be a factor during contract negotiations. The arbiter doesn't care if you play for a great team or not, they look at your statistics. There's a lot for the individual to play for. Furthermore, you don't get to this highest level of competition by giving up. They're all competitors. There might even be a little bit of pride in playing spoiler. I mean, I'd rather play the Rockies than the Red Sox, but there's so much randomness in this sport that a terrible team can sweep a really good one. That's why we play 162 games and it really seems to me that our Sox are regressing toward -- what many of us predicted to begin the season -- being a .500 team. If I was an unbiased gambler, I'd pick the Guardians to win the division regardless of the strength of schedule.

The difference is we get the Rockies at home and they get the Red Sox on the road. The schedule definitely favor the Sox but anything can happen in a 3 game series.

Bibee got touched up but of course the lousy Guardians offense is gonna score 12 runs in 6 innings...and more on the way it looks like.

well that changes everything
