Guardians up 5-2 at Toronto.

If they can win today they take the 3 game series 2-1....would be big to win this series while the Twins are playing the awful Angels.

Toronto has a 174M payroll. Guardians with a 66M payroll........

 

[WiggyRuss]

even if Guardians could get a mid-tier payroll and go up to 110M or so.......it would allow them to keep a guy like Bieber....and to add 1 or 2 more players to really solidfy the roster

hopefully with the new minority owner (taht will likely become a majority owner at some point) they can increase the payroll. They are a year - or maybe even 2- early with contention this year-- so I get it this year...but I hope in the next year or two we see an expansion of the payroll.

Apparently this happened before. Where they confused Aqib for his brother.

Dallas police confuse Broncos CB Aqib Talib with his brother

The Dallas Police Department made a pretty big mistake on Sunday when it announced Aqib Talib had been arrested. The only problem? Aqib Talib hadn't been arrested.

They look alike?

The payroll argument is so stupid when speaking about a random ass 3 game set in a sport that plays 162 games. Pirates went into LA and swept the dodgers this year. Nationals won a series there as well

Yeah anything can happen in a random short series. Now if they win a series in the playoffs that is just overachieving. Also, depends on who is hot. Hard to compete with the Dodgers though, just so much talent. They are playing great baseball

Jinxed that

 

[Mecca]

Sounds like a move he made to try to be out in the spotlight more than anything bc he is pretty irrevelant now

Not out West.

Game will go Platinum from California sells alone.

That is besides the point.

What he is doing is classless, even by gangsta rap standards.

Snoop Dog started this shit.

He made said some unsavory shit about Em on the Breakfast Club and EM clapped back.

Game just piggy backing for clout.

Grow the fuck up.

Yeah it made TMZ so it is accurate. They have a pic of him and they do look extremely alike

Soo a pee wee coach was just shot and killed in dallas. Former nfl player and brother was involved. Twitter streets speculating it was Aquib Talib and his brother

Daaaaaaaaaaamn.

 

[DJ]

I've coached youth league football, basketball and baseball. The problems with all 3 were the same...the adults.

Yep.

Looking at the pic they could damn near be twins.

not at all

in this 3 game series- the Guardians look like they are going to win 2 games against Gausman and Berrios---- 2 guys that would represent the 2nd and 3rd biggest contracts in the history of the Guardians (by far) if they signed them.

Its a challenge any time you face these teams with payrolls that are 2x, 3x, or almost 4x your own payroll.

I think the biggest reason is that Max Muncy seems to have figured out whatever was causing his slump and Bellinger seems to be slowly coming around as well. That's just adding on to what Betts, Freeman, Trea Turner and Will Smith have been doing pretty much all season.

Having said that, unless they rally in the top of the 9th...the Royals are going to end the 12 game win streak.

Royals pitching has held them to 2 hits so far.

after their world series title- Royals were at the end of the line and went into the inevitable rebuild MOST small market teams go into

they are starting to build their talent base and should take some solid steps the next year or two to get back to beinga pretty good team

a lot of these small market teams do that type of cycle---- which makes it all the more impressive Tampa and Cleveland have seemed to avoid bottoming out. Hell- even the Astros and Nationals bottomed out before their runs.

I will say, Singer can sometimes look like one of the best pitchers in the league
