Albies has an OPS of .810. Hes having a very solid year.

I think the Guardians started like 7 guys the other day with OPS under .700 and are currently being blanked by the Royals

Our teams both suck ass offensively. Like majorly.
totally- Gimenez went from being one of the WAR leaders last year to garbage....

but yah- only 2 guys are Ramirez and Naylor right now doing anything really.


Royals suck but have to feel good about Williams going 7 ip 1 hit, 6k's, no runs in his 2nd start

Kolby Allard and his 6.07 career ERA fresh off the 60 day IL just struck out the side in the first vs the Twins.

Buxton swung at a 3-2 pitch that was literally 3 feet over his head and outside.

Its never going to change with this group.

Proof to show I was not exaggerating.

Jose with the slam. Looks like the Guards just might be a 1/2 game up after tonight! still a game under .500 though sadly.

it really annoys me the Guardians basically never trade their prospects.

they get 40 man roster issues- and give up on legit talent like Nolan Jones, Will Benson and Owen Miller. All 3 would help. Benson would be a major upgrade over Straw. Owen Miller would be perfect to play 2B, 3B and 1B and be a util guy. Nolan Jones would be a great guy to play some 1st and RF and DH in a rotation with Naylor, Bell and Brennan.

They got basically nothing for those 3 guys since they had 40 man roster issues and let them go. All 3 look like they have figured it out. Jones and Benson were just bad moves.


Should have made a deal for someone and cleared some room in the minors.

it would be so like the Guardians for them to lose with Bieber on the mound today and crush any momentum. It has basically been how the season has gone- a step forward- a step back.

If they can win today they get to .500 for the first time since about the first couple weeks of the season just about.

ERod should be back relatively soon....couple weeks I would think at most.

if you take wentz out of the equation and replace him with a .500 pitcher detroit is right there. he has no business in the majors

Skubal will be back first. (Manning did well earlier this week after a two month absence.)

Baddoo, Greene and ERod around the AS break.

If Meadows can play again, it could be a Major League roster at some point this season.

I am reasonably open to someone addressing mental health but it's really fucking hard to have empathy with a multi millionaire crying to himself over how hard his life is as he's paid to play a game for a living.

wouldve been such a cool way to win too if Clase didnt blow it.

Jose steals home in the 10th - straight steal of home off Chapman- pretty cool. but alas - Clase blew his first game in a while
