caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Sheets homer #6. Zunino 0 for his last 26. 20 strikeouts!!!! WD Smith has to be the best catcher in baseball right now...not many like him. Realmuto looks to be the biggest name available on the FA market. Doesn't exactly fit with a protracted rebuild...plus paying for past performance like we did with Grandal in his early 30's.

I don't. You said yourself that giving Robert more ABs make sense so having 2 players at the top with no HR moved own allowing guys with more HR more AB also makes sense. Leadoff must be 100% healthy to be who he is. He is not peak TA any more. He needs to get healthy and less responsibilities in the lineup to help him get there.

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Burger 8 of 9 homers hit at home...one of the few players lighting it up at GRate. Another hit. Meanwhile, Vaughn's average in danger of sinking down into the 230's now. Another ball well hit by Alberto. At least he's proving more of an offensive threat than Leury.

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 That double will look like a liner in the box score tmrw. Straw one of the few Guardians playing better than last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Clevinger trying to emulate the Kopech hairstyle...with more of an Alabama/Deliverance feel to it, versus the "man bun." You could easily see him as one of first victims doing something idiotic in one of The Purge movies, lol.

If it were up to me, I would move TA down, But I think banking on his track record considering how underwhelming most of the lineup is around him is a defensible decision. Batting Benetendi 2nd while arguably the 2nd best hitter on the team continues to bat 8th, however, is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 If I'm Minny, I'm feeling pretty good right now. Sox are out of it and Cleveland does not look like a .500 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow four of every five Sox games. I might turn the radio on if Clevinger is out of the game. Always want the bullpen to get the win, or him the loss, during these starts.

chitownsportsfan Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Cleveland is a mediocre at best team. Is the AL Central historically bad? Only Detroit not being 90 loss bad (and they probably still are) might save it. I think only Minny will finish over .500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 This inning not off to a promising start....but then the Guardians are erased by a DP. Rocchio too overanxious there in his first big league start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
