Against an ex-Royal.

Go figure.

3rd base coach sucks 

SOUTH SIDE. STAND UP.

I didn’t say anything about Bummer, fathom did.  However, in Getz’s haste to fill three positions relatively cheaply in one bad trade, it hasn’t worked out.  I would’ve rather had a couple younger prospects for Bummer.  Getz took back the Braves’ non-tender candidates.

It's a bit early to declare the trade a failure. Let's wait to see how many innings Soroka covers and what Lopez looks like in a couple months. 

9th inning will be heart of Guardians' lineup.

Maldonado is awful. Offensively and defensively. No real reason for him to be on the team

Unless they come up in the 8th.

We already know what Lopez is.  I don’t see much in Soroka.  Shewmake and Gowens could turn into something though.

Shiffren's excitement is awesome I appreciate that.

Leadership/experience/mentor...blah blah blah.

He is built like Manny Ramirez at the end of his career and stopped giving a f***.

Oh Lord Kopech

I won’t have faith they can win this game until the last out is recorded.

Shewmake is a AAA utility infielder. Jury's still out on Soroka and Lopez. 

Who’s the closer?

101...sizzling...

Who is going to be asked to close the game?

Kopech turning into a good closer is wild.

I think they are going ot let him go two innings. And why not.

Kopech for 2 is my guess

I'd stick with Kopech for the 2-inning save. 

bury a slider and he'll swing.

Seems like they will push Kopech to go two innings.

Garcia and Leone are only other options.

GAS 102!
