They'll somehow manage to mess up the next two high draft picks anyway...

Andrus is officially the leader of the team now with Liam out.

Guardians fans must be quite angry...even Francona makes errors like putting Calhoun at first for only the 9th time. Had 36-37000 Fri and Sat. 8-5 on season series.

Andrus has been amazing today.

Colas really needs to improve to get to average defender. Relies far too much on his arm but not any defensive fundamentals.

Down to .218 now.

Assuming no Bummer who the heck closes this one? Lambert again?

Anderson getting Wally Pipp'ed by Andrus.

In other words, Elon Musk. Forgot pasty.

Ooops remembered him as Chance/Chase....too many former Sox prospects that flamed out.

Lane Ramsey MLB debut...

Lofton...Shaw...Toussaint

Giolito was really solid until his last start prior to the trade but certainly not an All Star.

Because they tend to start them out conservatively coming off injury in order to build/boost confidence... before the much more challenging AA placement. All development is not linear. And High A to AA the biggest jump on talent level a young player has to overcome. Especially Southern League with some of those much bigger parks compared to Charlotte.

Moncada did that deliberately just to change the baserunners? Can't believe it. Think he just completely lost it.

I'm sure he didn't want to answer direct media questions whether he was in the concussion protocol for being knocked out on his feet, essentially.

Robert seems pretty much oblivious to everything going on around him. Andrus would be in HoF if his entire career was at Jacobs/Progressive. Wow. 5/8 this weekend.

“I felt I was able to land one,” Ramírez said through a translator. “He’s been disrespecting the game for a while,” Ramírez added. “When he does something like that on the bases (knock someone's hand off the base), he can get somebody out of the game. So I was telling him to stop doing that. After he tapped me really hard, more than needed, he said he wanted to fight and I had to defend myself.” Anderson was not available for comment afterward. Francona wasn’t exactly sure what prompted the Anderson-Ramírez bout, but said that before the brawl, Anderson had been told by one of the umpires to stop jawing at Guardians rookie Gabriel Arias. On Friday night, Anderson pushed Guardians rookie Brayan Rocchio off the bag at second following a slide, leading to a call that was controversially reversed by the umpires. https://www.kold.com/2023/08/06/anderson-ramrez-facing-suspensions-after-fight-6-ejections-wild-white-sox-guardians-brawl/

Final Sox/Guardians game of 2023 “From the second I set foot in the clubhouse, I could tell these teams don’t like each other,” said Cleveland starter Noah Syndergaard, who was acquired in a trade last week. “And I don’t think it’s going to be resolved anytime soon.”

Going to be shocked if the Guardians don't blow the Sox out of the water in this one...not going to believe the Sox are galvanized/united for one second this season.

The fact that more time was spent addressing Eloy getting spiked or stepped on or shoved than TA once again being right in the middle of yet another national controversy...

"I feel like Tim Anderson disrespects the game" according to Ramirez's response to broadcaster Tom Hamilton relayed on pregame interview with Terry Francona. First career game Ramirez was ejected. Apparently started with Anderson trash talking Gabriel Arias and being told to cut it out by umpires earlier.

Metaphorical punch out of Hahn's Sox GM career...best angle

Garland refused that one time. Hard to get Scholtens involved in this. Plus he isn't exactly a flame thrower.
