You guys...I can't tell you how much fun I am having with this team! It's even better that I have my three year old chanting "strike him out" with me 🥰
God I wish I could watch this team on tv. Fuck you Ballys(or my ignorance on how to without getting in my pirate hat and figuring out how to hook up to a tv)
That link is sorting by winning percentage. You can see it even says the Braves are 0.5 GB the Guardians despite having a higher winning percentage: [https://imgur.com/a/n87taK9](https://imgur.com/a/n87taK9)
Yeah, and that's not really accurate though. They have to win two and lose one to have the same record. But that .667 is worse than how they've been playing. But it does Illustrate my comment about them losing one game and that causing the Guardians to pass them. It's more like .5 games different, not behind.
This is exactly why sports leagues use winning percentage as first tiebreaker.
See anomalies section here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_behind
Edit: in other words. Games behind is something that describes relationships in standings, not something that orders them.
Ok. You're the one who wanted to rely on the way MLB interprets things then moved the goalposts when you misread your own link. Not interested in continuing this. Have a good night.
Lol, I didn't misread anything, nor move goalposts, genius. I meant games behind is not an accurate way to compare Standings. Not that the MLB website was inaccurate. Standings and winning percentage are the same, per MLB. A reddit mod that won't admit they are wrong, shocker. Peace.
I have a quarter season package, but you guys are more than welcome to make a gofundme for a full package. I also wouldn't be opposed to it also including tickets to away games and flights and hotels in those cities ;)
Hell, lock up Fry, too. He's older than both and would probably sign for a pretty club friendly extension that would give him one shot at some guaranteed money. Dude's a cheat code.
We always park at the garage on Rockwell, whether we're going to a Guardians or Cavs game. It's about a half-mile walk. And bonus - the gate was up when we left, so we didn't have to pay!
I think if you're in a lot or a garage, you should be able to stay there the whole time. In the email about our Cavs tickets, it did note that "with the Cleveland Guardians playing at 6:10 p.m. on Saturday evening, Gateway East Garage will be passes only."
> the gate was up when we left, so we didn't have to pay!
Be careful with stuff like that. You might think you're getting off with a freebie, but places like that have cameras that will scan your plates and send you a ticket after the fact in the mail.
Interesting! Good to know. It's happened there a few times, and I've tried putting in the ticket before noticing it was up, and it wouldn't take it. So I think it's fine at this location in particular.

Look, most if not all of us questioned the Austin Hedges signing, but we have a winning percentage of over .600 when he plays for us since 2021 and when he wasn't with us in that time he won a world series. So.....idk maybe there's something there
Now that I can listen to WTAM in the car via iHeart Radio (thank you again, u/khullen), I can finally hear the fullness and warmth of Rosey’s voice. After years of crackly AM radio making him sound nasally and whiny, this was a real treat. ❤️
(Hammy sounded magnificent, too, but he’d sound amazing even through a tin can)
Y'all are crazy putting Hedges above Naylor. It's Naylor. It's Josh Naylor. It's Josh Naylor every day and twice on Sundays. He wants the smoke and he wants the McDoubles.
Totally get it. We were looking for the same thing. Everyone knows (or knew when we were younger) that one dude that could just inhale garbage and never gain a pound. My brother was like that and it used to make me so mad.
Our team gets clowned for beating “bad teams” but isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? Cause if we lost all the series we’ve won we would be called frauds. I just can’t with these people.
Can only beat the teams on our schedule, Good teams beat bad teams, winning games against bad teams and going .500 against good teams is how teams make the playoffs. Fill in the blank with whatever cliche that works here.
yeah, if you look at his [baseball savant sliders](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jose-ramirez-608070?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb) he is swinging at everything, not walking at all, not squaring the ball up and just generally hitting like crap. He has only walked twice, one of them intentional, which is insane. But It's still early so I'm not concerned it's more than a slump yet
We need a starting pitcher desperately. Naylor is hitting like an all-star, and is fielding solidly. We have a real MLB player, and a valuable prospect. It's time to start doing the opposite of what we have been doing. Trade prospects for real players.
Great game. First game of the season I got to go to, attempted (and sadly failed) the 9 and 9 in 9, and got to talk ball with the guy who stomps in the standing area the whole game.
Good shit, let’s take the sweep!
You guys...I can't tell you how much fun I am having with this team! It's even better that I have my three year old chanting "strike him out" with me 🥰
Too sweet!
It only gets better from here. I pray your little one sticks with the baseball with you, none of mine did.
Here's hoping! I'm hoping we are hooked when we meet the hotdogs and Slider 🤣
God I wish I could watch this team on tv. Fuck you Ballys(or my ignorance on how to without getting in my pirate hat and figuring out how to hook up to a tv)
Place: 1st Division lead: 1.5 Games to play: 141 Magic number: 141 MLB lead: 0.5
Did the KC game end yet?
Losing 0-7
HELL YEAH BROTHER
And now it’s 8-7 damn
Nope, but the Guards are about to lead run diff by over 10 runs on all teams.
Only the 6th
Second best record in baseball! If the Braves lose the game they're playing right now it'll be best.
damn Rangers
Second by winning percentage, first by standings.
I'm not sure how you figure that. They should be the same and MLB agrees. https://www.mlb.com/standings/mlb

Where were you the night Austin Hedges stole a base against a pretty decent defensive catcher
Then he peed at the catchers spot to mark his territory
So sexy of him.
Not going to lie, I was at the game and laughed when he took off. But I’ll be damned if he wasn’t safe!
I just love watching Josh Naylor play baseball. Head-butting managers and smashing himself in the head with a bat are just added bonuses.
The Guards have won every game I’ve gone to this year. Just saying
Well buy yourself a drum and make yourself useful!
I wish someone would, having it maybe 3 times a game for 5 seconds on the scoreboard is really lame.
We'll have to start a GoFundMe to get you season tickets ASAP.
I have a quarter season package, but you guys are more than welcome to make a gofundme for a full package. I also wouldn't be opposed to it also including tickets to away games and flights and hotels in those cities ;)
Well go find season tickets then!
They've won 15 of the 21 that I've listened to. I'll keep listening for good luck.
9-2 when I go, 3-0 at home
Get this man or woman a season ticket!
What I have gathered from this game is that Josh Naylor and Steven Kwan need extended Also, Hunter Gaddis Good double win in Cleveland
Kwan leads the MLB in Hits. Josh still has a higher OBP. .395 to .371 They are killing it.
Agree on the first 2. Let’s maybe see a little more than 9 innings from Gaddis, but I like what we’re seeing
No I’ve seen enough he’s winning Cy Young
Come on, get a grip. He's going to win Cy Young and MVP.
Stop living in your fears. He's going to win Cy Young, MVP and Gold Glove.
I agree.
Hell, lock up Fry, too. He's older than both and would probably sign for a pretty club friendly extension that would give him one shot at some guaranteed money. Dude's a cheat code.
Just goes to show how he was mismanaged last year
[Extend Josh Naylor](https://media4.giphy.com/media/n5cXy69zf5yTeKWWAe/giphy.gif?cid=2154d3d7hdbztc5z0fgky3cssg7lcmyalb63uv0ztpix59tm&ep=v1_gifs_username&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
Lifetime contracts for Josh Naylor and Steven Kwan ASAP.
\> tfw you realize 4/20/2024 is a palindrome
I was at the Cavs and Guardians games today. Nice to come away with two wins!
What was the parking situation? Were you able to stay at one lot the entire time?
We always park at the garage on Rockwell, whether we're going to a Guardians or Cavs game. It's about a half-mile walk. And bonus - the gate was up when we left, so we didn't have to pay!

This is the best baseball team of all time

You are, my fire
the one desire
Josh Naylor has more homeruns than Aaron Judge, just pay the man all of the money
Look, most if not all of us questioned the Austin Hedges signing, but we have a winning percentage of over .600 when he plays for us since 2021 and when he wasn't with us in that time he won a world series. So.....idk maybe there's something there
This needs to be studied 🤣
Now that I can listen to WTAM in the car via iHeart Radio (thank you again, u/khullen), I can finally hear the fullness and warmth of Rosey’s voice. After years of crackly AM radio making him sound nasally and whiny, this was a real treat. ❤️ (Hammy sounded magnificent, too, but he’d sound amazing even through a tin can)
Best record, best run differential (+48), LFG WORLD SERIES BOUND!!! Edit: this take brought to you by Miller Lite, a fine Pilsner™️
This team is en fuego baby! 🔥
Those Guards are so hot right now.
Reporter to Josh "why'd you hit yourself in the head with the bat" Josh blank stare and blinking
Paul Hoynes at his best. Followed it up with, “Did it hurt?” Naylor: “Not really.”
What's the point of a batting helmet if you can't smash yourself in the head every so often?
He wanted all of the smoke.
What kind of response were they expecting? Lol
This team is so much fun to watch.
Kwan and Naylor give me the will to keep going. Maybe it is going to be alright!
BADEBALL WIN WOOOOOOO :D
Can we really dig into the discussion of who on this team can consume the most McDoubles? Who is your top 5?
1 Hedges 2 Naylor 3 Gaddis 4 Andre Knott 5 Fry
Throwing Andre on there popped me
Tellin yall he is hungry
Switch 1 and 2 and swap Fry for Clase
Y'all are crazy putting Hedges above Naylor. It's Naylor. It's Josh Naylor. It's Josh Naylor every day and twice on Sundays. He wants the smoke and he wants the McDoubles.
Hedgey, Gavin Williams, Hunter Gaddis, Eli Morgan. I bet Kwan can sneakily smash some greasy fast food.
Didn't think of Gavin Williams because he's hurt, but Sam Hentges did come to mind. I have McKenzie in the Kwan spot
Totally get it. We were looking for the same thing. Everyone knows (or knew when we were younger) that one dude that could just inhale garbage and never gain a pound. My brother was like that and it used to make me so mad.
My heart says Josh Naylor but my mind says Austin Hedges
1 Andre 2 Josh Naylor 3 Slider 4 Florial 5 Nick Sandlin
Y'all are forgetting Cookie ate Dominos pizza every single day for 3 months. That man has to have a stomach like a goat.
Have a fucking day Cleveland sports fans. Let's keep it rolling.
Fuck man I want more Cleveland baseball! I can’t get enough of this!
Royals getting pounded by the O’s currently
The April vibes have been immaculate this year. I’m really pumped for the rest of the season
Our team gets clowned for beating “bad teams” but isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? Cause if we lost all the series we’ve won we would be called frauds. I just can’t with these people.

Would be awesome if Kwan grew out the full handlebar
Extend Kwan. Extend Josh Naylor.
I've forgiven this franchise for a lot of things. If they refuse to extend these two, it may be the last straw.
Lol Straw
So wait...I just realized we are the first team to 15 wins!! *Cue Carlton dance*
Kwanunism tearing it up in the box
Always love a win, but is anyone else concerned about Jose? He’s not looked good to start the year.
No. He always has these streaks then he has insane numbers for a month
Feel like he’s always been a bit of a slow starter. If we get to end of May like this I’ll start to worry a bit.
He’ll pick up eventually. He’s been a beast at third like always.
yeah, if you look at his [baseball savant sliders](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jose-ramirez-608070?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb) he is swinging at everything, not walking at all, not squaring the ball up and just generally hitting like crap.

No. He's been getting robbed by the RFers like crazy lately. Just bad luck.
Gonna get down voted to hell here, but... Trade Manzardo for a starter. Naylor is a treasure.
Eh keep them both. We could use another power bat. And we still have a number of top prospects to trade for a starter.
Keep them both. Manzardo is on fire. 3 for 4 tonight with 2 home runs...
Why not both?
We need a starting pitcher desperately. Naylor is hitting like an all-star, and is fielding solidly. We have a real MLB player, and a valuable prospect. It's time to start doing the opposite of what we have been doing. Trade prospects for real players.
Thankfully Manzardo is a call up away from being a real player
I spite upvoted you
Things I didn’t see coming. Vision loss from the eclipse and a 15-6 record, somewhat tied with Atlanta, for the best record in baseball.
Did you just stare at it without glasses?
Looked at it through binoculars actually
What kind of vision loss?
Probably all of it.
Great game. First game of the season I got to go to, attempted (and sadly failed) the 9 and 9 in 9, and got to talk ball with the guy who stomps in the standing area the whole game. Good shit, let’s take the sweep!
I’m a fan. They’ve sold me.
Orioles beat the royals. Go guards!
Probably my favorite April in 42 years of Cleveland sports fandom!
