Hopefully that mattress guy made a massive sucker bet. Balta was right. Houston blowout just felt way too obvious.

These are not the droids we are looking for. Robert already with four RBI’s, Verlander TKO’ed in the fourth…with no Grandal, TA7, Moncada, Jimenez involved.

Gaffe-a-nino.

Gisele Bundchen the richest supermodel in history, fwiw. Next up for Verlander on the all time K list is the poster boy for free speech and wasted MA taxpayer dollars Curt Schilling.

Verlander struggles when slider sweeps instead of breaks straight down. Got Mendick with it. Pitch count already in mid 70’s…Phil Maton warming up.

That’s definitely Eloy’s natural power stroke already.

That’s not tough to do when you’re with Kate Upton, but he prefers being the Tom Brady of MLB. Hard to blame him. 3093 strikeouts ties him for 16th all-time with CC Sabathia.

Might be their only true bargain contract on the entire roster, other than Vaughn, Cease and Kopech. Mendick the way he’s going, and Burger (past tense).

Cueto putting on a pitching clinic. Mid 30’s range for pitch count (34). Minimum through three. Graveman probably quite excited to (hopefully) get the SVO.

.364 career average against JV still going up. Thanks, Ron! Four straight hits. 32 Ribbies for Jose. Like clockwork. Oops.

98 mph FB lined to RF by Robert. Great at-bat by Luis against one of the best pitchers in baseball cranking the velo up. Robert getting a bit emotional. Mendick continues to impress, as well.

Just noticed Guardians with six less games played than the Twins. That’s a lot of bullpen work to make up over 3+ months

Gurriel and Zavala with some type of beef…HP umpire kept them apart and finished at-bat. Jeff Bagwell loves Zavala’s short power swing, lol. He’s now on one of his brief offensive runs. Classic grinder. 5/13.

And Pederson of the 14 homers RF variety. Yermin will somehow manage to contribute something. That’s how the Giants roll. He becomes a near Gold Glove level while slugging 850 ops catcher or something crazy like that.

Just hope he doesn’t start playing soccer with teammates or he’s done for. IL again.

Gavin Sheets replicating his Chicago numbers so far. Trade value=not much.

The only active hitter in MLB with better numbers against Verlander is Sal Perez. Lots of solo homers. 46 career starts against White Sox. At least the no hitter is gone.

Only if Keuchel was pitching against his former team/mates.

Rutschman, Nolan Gorman shout outs. No Luis Robert mention. Or Kopech/Cease. Of course He Who Shall Not Be Named in there at SS. Another Contreras brother at catcher.

That’s what the track record of play from ASB 2021 until would indicate. Mired in mediocrity. Trademark pending.

Maybe having two assets in Rodon and Giolito with little to nothing to show for them…and the likelihood of replacing their production via free agency somewhere between slim and none. Rodon on current pace for a 5.7 fWAR over 162 games. Giolito beginning in 2019, 5.2, 2.0 (5.4 extrapolated), 4.0=4.9 average over 3 seasons current pace=0.5226 fWAR Difference of ten victories for those two alone.

54-35 at ASB 2021 39-34 to finish season 1-3 in playoffs 30-32 in 2022 70-69 total since ASB (139 games) 67-46 Aug 12 26-23 1-3 30-32 57-58 last 115

Moncada hamstring again.

https://www.mlb.com/news/anthony-gose-returns-to-detroit-as-opponent-pitcher Anthony Gose, who used to be a Blue Jays CFer and former first round pick, retired Lux, Turner and Freeman consecutively to save the game for the Guardians after a huge error in RF and Dodgers were in position for the win at Chavez Ravine. Additionally, Quantrill, Miller, Reyes, Naylor, Hedges, De Los Santos used to belong to a team that shall not be named.
