caulfield12 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) https://www.cleveland.com/guardians/2022/03/chris-antonetti-not-worried-about-sticks-stones-and-criticism-guardians-takeaways.html But it’s rare to hear opposing players criticize another team because of its small payroll. That was the case recently as Joc Pederson of the Giants and Dallas Keuchel of the White Sox took shots at the Guardians and other MLB teams with low payrolls. (Of course, months later, neither one of those guys is going to the playoffs with bigger market teams.) Last year was the first time in nine straight seasons that Cleveland did not have a winning record. It finished 80-82. “Our objectives haven’t changed,” said Antonetti. “If I was going to ask you what our payroll was in 2016, no one cares. What they remembered is that we played in Game 7 of the World Series. Our goal is how do we find a way to win that last game? “Each market has its own challenges. Our job and our responsibility is to find a way to overcome those challenges and win that last game.” Edited August 19, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheets is bad on the road so whatever, but Grandal playing no matter what is comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they been reading my info about how bad he sucks on the road . It's a huge difference but if he can hit so well at home how can he be so bad on the road. It's like a .500 OPS difference. What would come 1st, him getting worse at home or better on the road ? I think you just have to roll with Sheets on the road at this point at DH instead of Grandal.

I'm hoping for the latter. I actually thought Elvis might be batting 2nd considering he's pretty good @Progressive Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 There's a fire Rick Hahn thread going, but this Luis Robert situation is right there on top of his piss poor management of the roster. All season he's been having the team playing short with "day to day" injuries that have resulted in week long issues. Robert got burned and used in a much needed PR situation 2 nights ago, now he's going a week without taking an AB. Rick Hahn sucks at this job. 😡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames1957 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 TLR starting Grandal over Sheets because he has a feeling that he is about to break out because he hit a couple of pitches hard. And you wonder why this organization is the laughing stock of the Majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to start counting the extra bases taken on balls hit into the outfield and stolen bases as well for every Guardians game. Will be in the 4-7 range every time out.

Its not going to matter! Umm so know what will happen if Sheets starts over Grandal and if Grandal starts over Sheet tonight ? Please tell me the final score in each game . 1 hit , 1 error can always make the difference in games especially when the Sox play so many low scoring games. Little things add up to victories. You analogy is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
