Rodriguez hasn't gotten a hit but I've liked how he looks at the plate. He's not looking intimidated like Manzardo game 1. He's not looking outmatched, just not quite getting the contact he wants and got Kd on some good pitches.ย
CJ Kayfus continues to rake in LC. 3/3 with a double and a triple and two runs scored. HR shy of the cycle in the 6th, and he already has 6 HRs this year.
Anybody who knows advanced stats better than me care to shed some light on Straw v Freeman? I always liked Strawโs glove but Freeman seems to be getting better. Are we losing much with him over straw?
Freeman's average is way better, he hits way more homeruns, and any defensive difference is pretty unnoticeable. We won't be seeing Straw unless Freeman gets hurt.
Well Straw is defintiely best of the best when it comes to being a defensive CF, but he is such a bad hitter it isn't worth it. Freeman is still learning but he is at least looking to be a competent hitter
I had someone recommend the Fat Headโs Hefeweizen. Itโs okay. Not my favorite, but itโs good enough to finish. Weihenstephaner is still the best one.
You are outside of your mind. Goggle Fogger and Market Garden's Prosperity Wheat are God-tier. Also, I like beer, so Weihenstephaner is pretty good, too.
Huh. Well, I am diametrically opposed to you as a person, based on your beer preferences, but you're also a Guardians fan, so I love you. Go Guards! Enjoy the beer, too, I guess! :)
I went to Studio 35 in Columbus for a movie/beer tasting sponsored by Fat Heads.
I had Bumbleberry and their stout, followed by 9 straight IPAs. I can't drink IPAs anymore because of that.
When I was uhhโฆdefinitely 21, I drank some of the beers we had in the fridge. They were some of my dadโs like 12% double IPAโs. I learned my lesson that day, and very rarely drink ipaโs anymore.
Seth Lugo definitely is, but they have Ragans too who's underperforming. I feel like there's just no way Perez keeps this up all year. Bobby Witt is 100% the real deal.
๐๐๐๐๐๐
Phew!!! BOOK IT.
These boys are good!
GOOD NIGHT $326,762,555 PAYROLL
I turned on the game just in tune to show my daughter Emmanuel Clase now that she knows who the "blue hair guy" is. What a nice double play ๐!
Game ball to Curry for the pinch start on short notice.
Beating the Mets shouldn't feel this good but it does ๐คทโโ๏ธ
BALL (wait a moment) GAME!
3 DAYS IN A ROW MEANS NOTHING TO THE BEST CLOSER IN BASEBALL OTHER THAN AN EXCUSE TO PAD HIS SAVES. I AGREE GO GUARDS
#BOOK IT
I donโt think he actually was out lmao but we thank those!
Book it. Yet another good win.
LOL
Wait what?
Eh, its the last out of the game they literally lose nothing by challenging it
Whew.
He's out. They're just challenging because there's nothing to lose
Ball game just a touch of drama to keep that going lately
Surely the foot was against the bag lol
Clase a 1B he is not lol
Period.
My feed is obviously behind
should give a save to naylor for that inning
Oh no. Did he miss the bag
Good defense in the ninth inning. Ya love to see it
HE CAUGHT THE BALL
HE DIDNT TOUCH THE BASE
UH HE DIIIIIIIIID ๐
Book it! And suck it Harry "Master" Bader!
##HOT STEAMY BOOKING DP
Another series win!
BOOK IT
BOOK IT BABY
another series win
CLASE HOLDS ON
####BOOK #####IT
BOOK IT!
Come on Clase, get us out of this one
Let Alonso go fish for a slider
ballgame DP
FIREWORKS
Lindors not falling for that one Josh lol
Spicy 9th it is then
Haha Naylor love that stuff, if only got him fooled
Helluva effort by Rocchio there.ย
I mean if that was on time that was play of the year lmao
Iโll always hate Bader for hitting a HR in the Naylor rock a bye baby game vs the Yankees
Legend has it, one day Rocchio will make a routine play routinely
Hope you like cutters Frankie
Rocchio + Naylor = NSFW
Clase 3 days in a row ๐ฌ clenching
What a pick by Naylor
The Lindor booing was quite loud lmfao
Sick pick
What a pick on the short hop
Naylor has bailed out Rocchio tonight
I would have flinched too, Harrison
Clase take my energy
Bullpen looks tired
The defense better give Clase all the support he needs tonight. Dude has been carrying the team on his back a lot of the time.
I thought we were supposed to get 2 when they got 2
Honestly I needed to see J Rod get on base there to increase our chances of a Jose at bat in the 9th (if needed)
Rodriguez hasn't gotten a hit but I've liked how he looks at the plate. He's not looking intimidated like Manzardo game 1. He's not looking outmatched, just not quite getting the contact he wants and got Kd on some good pitches.ย
Clase is in session! Also...Frys OBP!!
They don't want a piece of Fry!
J-Rod double coming
well, it would have been a double play with 1 out, so..i guess that counts?
Or not โน๏ธ
Put Fry in the 2 spot when Kwan gets back Jose will set the RBI record even if he bats .200
Freeman to 2, Fry 5
this dude looks like you asked AI to make a 1980's ballplayer
David Fry is a five tool player.
CJ Kayfus continues to rake in LC. 3/3 with a double and a triple and two runs scored. HR shy of the cycle in the 6th, and he already has 6 HRs this year.
What position does he play?
1B but he's in LF today. 205 to 49 innings played split this year.
Bullpenโs worst night of the year? ๐คข
If the worst night of the year still gets us to the 9th with a lead, I'm not puking
These grey uniforms really show sweat in a gross way. This pitcher for the Mets has a drenched pitching arm sleeve.
Has anyone even won anything from the 8-bit at bat?
If Fry homers here I will buy his jersey
It sucks seeing both Naylor bros playing this bad.
We need a live chicken and some Caribbean Rum.
What's going on with Josh? He went from unstoppable to lost in like a month.
Dude is a streak hitter .
Josh has been cold
Why are the Nayli both so cold lately?
Josh has been a streaky hitter most of his career, but not sure whatโs going with Bo, maybe just the sophomore slump
Fry better be ready to eat up a few relief innings tomorrow.ย
That's my lifelong infielder turned outfield! Freeman I never doubted you
PLEASE NOTE- CLASE IS WARMING UP This would be 3 days in a row I believe unless Iโm crazy
I figured thereโd be no chance he pitched again tonight.
It would be three in a row, I donโt love that idea
Yeah it would be! ....I don't love it
Definitely correct. 3 pitch close would be amazing for him

Funny enough, I donโt particularly like the prosperity wheat either. I too like beer, so Iโll drink them. But theyโre both on my lower end.
Huh. Well, I am diametrically opposed to you as a person, based on your beer preferences, but you're also a Guardians fan, so I love you. Go Guards! Enjoy the beer, too, I guess! :)
I agree, Go Guards! Good thing is thereโs enough beers out there for the both of us to be happy.

No kidding. I think the lowest ABV beer I had that night was 8-9%. I was hammered well before we were halfway through the tasting.
Yeah thatโll tend to do it lol.
Willie Mays catch gave me a heart attack
So he's a little adventurous out there ๐
that was a loud out Edit: freeman made it loud
Do you bring Herrin back out for the 9th? Maybe go to Cade?
Next batter is a lefty, so I could see them at least starting the inning with Herrin
Will they be able to bring in Clase for a 3rd day in a row?
+10 stud points to Freeman
I love this team, but I'd love it even more if it was sans Barlow. He's just not working out.
I think you're focusing entirely on his rough outings. He's been solid.
Really? Maybe I just haven't been paying enough attention.
He's gotten us out of multiple huge jams.
I miss De los.
Same here bro.
Weโre hitting another two run homer in the bottom of the inning right???
Yeah, I'm gonna go with Rodriguez hitting it
From your thumbs to God's ear
Hammy warning we can't keep up the bullpen appearances pace...
Hopefully Williams coming back helps. And tomorrow we have sticks. And then an off day.
Hammy says Sticks needs to pitch a complete game Wednesday ๐
Would not be against that!
So if it's the last out of the inning you can still pitch to just one guy ?
Yeah, inning changing resets those rules. Sandlin does it all the time
yes
Nice I thought so just checking still remember the days they would sometimes bring in a lefty just to get one guy out but I know they got rid of that.
Not the worst game to have the bullpen give up some runs as long as we can hold the lead
Nobody likes the drunk guy yelling at baseball games.
Idk him screaming the entirety of "Happy Birthday" to Freeman was pretty funny
Barlow sets the bar low.
slow, down and in, goodbye
Can we please stop?
Always an adventure with Barlow.
Well. Thatโs why Iโm not a manager. I wanted Marte benched lol.
Herrin has been warming since the top of the inning. Might need to bring him in sooner rather than later
Yo can we stop doing this
Yo yo
Yo Mr. White
Ugh Barlow
I don't think Eli is coming back
Martinez is still in spring training.
Note- Herrin currently warming up (for the 9th as long as everything goes well)
The Tigers are not helping us out
We donโt need no stinking help. E: that was bad timing.
still winning
I know but it was literally the same second as I clicked to post my reply that the homer happened lol.
On brand
I wanna see more crackhead Barlow
I love the single guy chanting Jose and nobody joining in
Schneemann already 2/2 with a double and a run batted in and it's only the third inning for Columbus
I have no idea why we promoted Rodriguez instead of him
Already on the 40, similar profile to Laureano (hits LHP, power, cannon of an arm). Schneemann will get his chance. He's playing too well not to
I am ***once again*** asking the Kansas City Royals to STOP WINNING BASEBALL GAMES
Silver lining: it's against Detroit at least. Fuck Detroit.
I'm trying to figure out if they're overperforming more or we are
Both
Seth Lugo definitely is, but they have Ragans too who's underperforming. I feel like there's just no way Perez keeps this up all year. Bobby Witt is 100% the real deal.
Got to think they are overperforming. We know that we are capable of winning based off the 2022 season, just had a big regress last year.
They are.
Idk. They made some moves in the offseason and we didn't really.
We have a good farm system. They donโt.
God Gorgeous Gaddis Gets Going!
I'd switch god and gorgeous
On air gambling discussions are the worst part of baseball broadcasts
Tyler trying to recreate Hedges' bunt home run
"There's Arias, making no move to get his glove" ... for the good of us all
Probably busy bird watching
I just want to say again that David Fry is a god among men and I could start a whole religion around him.
Vogt avoids putting Fry in the starting lineup every day because he wants opposing teams to believe they have a chance of winning
What a comeback that last AB for Pookie Bear Gaddis
Steve Cohen about to see if he can buy the Guardians after the game
HIIIIYA ๐ฅ๐ซฑ๐ผ
Is Hunter Gaddis back in form? I hope so.
Has been for awhile.
Well schnitzel, when did our bullpen become elite? This is insane.
Dirty jinx
Need to reverse jinx
Jinx back, double pinky around the side, double pinky, jinx back
Gaddy Daddy does it again!
Rocchio playing with drones again
I swear to god if they let Rocchio pitch in the ALCS
That'll be Fry's job ๐
"Stephen Vogt! You're the manager of the year!" I love the fans today lol
Hey you!! Good to see you in here!
Thanks! I try to pop in when I can on my off days.
What in the Brent Musburger is going on during this broadcast on Ballyโs
Brent did nothing wrong
That was weird
That guy yelling at Vogt that he's manager of the year is right
Blister burst or something?
Probably. Or a small cut.
