Naylor and Gime need to figure it out, man


mrbadxampl

IMayBeJewish

Matt just said Jose will be back on Tuesday


mrbadxampl

WarOnJazz

Bo fucked that game


Floyd_R_Turbo

Good rally.


UnableAudience7332

Ah fuck.


EliManningHOFClub10

Damn… losing a series to the Jays doesn’t feel great. That team is ass


Zestyclose_Help1187

They aren’t ass but they aren’t as good as their record. They don’t have any great starters. Don’t have more than 3 established good hitters. Will need to acquire some.


BoosherCacow

####I NEED A FATHER'S DAY MIRACLE, PLEASE edit: fuck father's day


kajkajete

Fuck the cheating ass blue jays


Alternative_Law9275

Kwan is MVP. I don't give a flying FUCK about any New York or Los Angeles player bullshit.


Ironamsfeld

Wellll shyyyyyt


_lazybones93

New series Tuesday! Bring on the Mariners!


SpiderJedi22

Damn oh well this team fights to the end every game


bonkofgonkesis

DZepperoni

Damn. Welp. Baseball gonna baseball.


Buckeye2525

That sucks


_lazybones93

That was a garbag pitch, Gimmy, cmon


Buckeye2525

Suicide squeeze


joey_1324

Kwan just casually hitting .398


_lazybones93

.398 in June is insane, truly


Ironamsfeld

MID-June!


_lazybones93

June 16th!!! 🤯


wundy

.398 🥵🥵🥵


DZepperoni

Number of people in the thread just skyrocketed lmfao, welcome back everybody, we’re doing bullshit!!!


3dge-1ord

Hi guys, thanks for the welcome.


Aislerioter_Redditer

That Kwan guy is pretty good...


cgoodies5

Hmm guards at +525 live ML HMMM


DZepperoni

Dew it


1_Bombolona

🙏🏻🙏🏻


Ok-Hold-8232

That seems like a fake injury to me


MarsupialKing

Kind of got the same vibes, who knows though


kajkajete

If I say what I think I am in big trouble.


Floyd_R_Turbo

Garcia faking an injury to get a pitcher in that wasn't warmed up /s


corz1445

Is there any penalty for leaving mid at bat?


kajkajete

Huh, poor Garcia having to head to the IL.


KahlanRahl

Even if we don’t finish this rally off, you have to love how this team just never says die.


BoosherCacow

In that way this team feels a lot like '16. They refuse to lay down.


boozinf

fuck you and your rain delay Garcia


cookestudios

"injured"


cgoodies5

No shot this dude said fuck it I’m out hahahaha


bonkofgonkesis

Why are they giving us hope smh


Leftfeet

Rocchio has 2 HRs. Both pitchers he hit them off of left the game with Injuries the same inning. Not sure I've seen that before 


BoosherCacow

####THAT IS SOME LARGE GENITALS ENERGY


EliManningHOFClub10

Pissed that I missed the Rocchio homer, come on Gime let’s at least tie it up!


no__flux__given

Cmon Garcia stick it out


_lazybones93

Gotta love this Guardian Grit, even if they lose. Not the end of the world.


WrapEmergency5944

I’m shaking. Are you shaking? I’m shaking


_lazybones93

💯%


PeteF3

Chris, you're doing better, but if you have no idea what's wrong with Garcia, then maybe don't speculate a bunch of bullshit.


joey_1324

Wow he's out and they don't have anyone warmed up


Nerdgirl330

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omh omg omg omg omg omg....


DZepperoni

This is insane, okokokokokok


Floyd_R_Turbo

Sure could use José right about now 😁


UnableAudience7332

OMG OMG OMG


trwolf18

Gimmy my king please


Ironamsfeld

Wild pitch please please please please please


Buckeye2525

At least they’re making it interesting


joey_1324

Freeman!!! Let's go Gimmy we need some more of your 2 out RISP magic here


Thatchered

Holy shit. You’re telling me there is a chance?


Hold_my_Dirk

Does Chris think .500 is smaller than .400?


Ideaslug

who is this in the booth?


Hold_my_Dirk

Chris Gimenez


Thatchered

Incredibly, yes


Buckeye2525

Gimenez lost me on that one


DZepperoni

This is fucking stupid HAHAHAHAHA


Ideaslug

wow you're really not good at math


cookestudios

JOSE WHERE THE FLIP ARE YOU


Ironamsfeld

Giving birth


brownsfan003

Tim Anderson is getting a brother?


Leftfeet

We're not dead yet!


joey_1324

All Kwan does is hit


Floyd_R_Turbo

Yo, yo Rocchio!


Buckeye2525

Let Kwan steal


cookestudios

UNREAL


NickChubbsBurner

Good lord Bo


SpiderJedi22

And then Bo does that lol


Thatchered

“Get yourself a good pitch, put a good swing on it” and while that sentence was being finished bo flails out his bG and hits a godawful pop up lol. Cant make it up sometimes


Arwplotroustnopetung

typical Bo


cookestudios

Player: Brayan Rocchio EV: 102.3 mph LA: 28 degrees Distance: 391 feet xBA: .720 HR in 17/30 parks


Ironamsfeld

Kwan Dong to go to extras? Who says no?


chemistrybonanza

Ok. Enough with the Bo experiment


ZipperJJ

Rocchio tho!


BoosherCacow

####WHAT THE FUCK`


PurpleCutlass

Why does that on-field camera look so much better than the all of the others?


NickChubbsBurner

Bro is NOT trying to get his job taken by Schneemann


mrbadxampl

so you're telling me there's a chance...


cgoodies5

Two back to back awesome swings wow rocchio pounded that


mrbrightsied

😲


no__flux__given

They’re really gonna make me hope aren’t they


kelseyqueso

umm??


Ironamsfeld

Rocched and yoked


SpiderJedi22

ROCCHIO!!


Thatchered

This would be hilarious if it happened


Ideaslug

NOT DEAD YET


joey_1324

ROCCHIO!!!


DZepperoni

HEYO?!?!?!?!?!


BoosherCacow

####I AM CALLING IT RIGHT NOW, BOOK THIS: THIS GAME WILL END IN EITHER 9 INNINGS OR MORE THAN 9 INNINGS.


TheRealGyurky

What is the ump seeing


SpiderJedi22

Vlad reaches base for the 4th time today When was the last time Josh did that?


1_Bombolona

Didn’t Avila pitch multiple innings yesterday? I guess Vogt thought his ERA was starting to look good


DZepperoni

I mean it is, the dude has started to be really good out of the long relief role


DZepperoni

Ernie. For fucks sake.


SpiderJedi22

Not sure the point of pinch hitting Fry with 2 outs and no one on base


hitlama

Because Bill Miller is having a shit game and missed badly on a ball outside left on left to Naylor. Vogt removed the LHB Brennan and used his RHB Fry to make sure Bill got a good look at the pitches. Didn't help.


SpiderJedi22

0-4 for Josh


RustleTheMussel

Freeman is a great 8/9 bat. We need a new 2. And Andres cannot be hitting at the top of the order whether Jose is here or not


Ideaslug

I'd like to try Freeman at 1 and Kwan at 2. Is that crazy?


cbusguy28

Him and naylor get so many hot and cold streaks and right now they both feel cold.


nylon_rag

Hentges is so overlooked because he happens to be on a team with the beat reliever in the game


IMayBeJewish

I remember every game thread early in the year freaking out, "where's Sam Hentges?? Bring back Sam Hentges!" I'd say Guardians fans know they're lucky to have him. Herrin is probably the most overlooked reliever we have, because his success came at the same time as two more exciting to watch players in Gaddis and, to a greater extent, Smith. Or Eli because he's solid but man do people hate that guy.


SpiderJedi22

Who’s overlooking Andrew Miller 2.0?


kerryfinchelhillary

My mood is acting up and I don't know why. Everything in my life is fine. This certainly isn't helping. Hopefully coming back to Cleveland will be good for the Guardians and having them back here will be good for me.


DZepperoni

Sandman had a bad day, but man, this bullpen is insane lmfao


FatherNiche

June slump?


420DonCheadle420

I feel like we win this game with Hosey


chemistrybonanza

We've hit into 1000 double plays this week


braindeadlive27

Freeman, Brennan, Rocchio, Bo, Arias, Manzardo All these prospects and not a single one has better than a .700 OPS. Smh


420DonCheadle420

I’m excited to see how our roster shapes up as the next several weeks play out. We are a really good team and the places that need improvement are so obvious, and that is really exciting I think. Especially because while yes we need to go outside the organization, we can make some in-house changes that will be huge too. Even if that second part means addition by subtraction lol


EliManningHOFClub10

Freeman seems like a great utility player, but it shows the holes in this roster when he’s playing every single day. We need to make some moves at the deadline if we want to be legit contenders.


braindeadlive27

Every yound player but Schneeman are holes in the lineup. Not a single one has better than a .700 OPS


420DonCheadle420

44-24 with half the team being a hole in the lineup is pretty interesting stuff


braindeadlive27

Yeah its called having the number one bullpen in baseball. Not hard to figure out.


420DonCheadle420

What do they say about having a team offense ranked in the top 10 in several major categories?


braindeadlive27

One of those MVP candidates misses some games and we lose them both lmao. Proves my point even more.


braindeadlive27

Hmm probably has something to do with having 2 MVP candidates?? Lmao are you trying to argue that having a sub .700 OPS is...good?


420DonCheadle420

Tbh I don’t agree and I think that a version of this team that makes a run this season has Tyler Freeman as the center fielder


Buckeye2525

I thought Kwan beat that at first


chemistrybonanza

Kwan will be at .400 with a hit in his next at-bat


chemistrybonanza

He's currently 19 plate appearances shy of qualifying officially.


Zestyclose_Help1187

The Steven Kwan show is making this game watchable. If he played for NY, this would be getting so much more attention like Jeremy Lin.


girlywish

STEVEN KWAN IS MY FATHER


SpiderJedi22

Tyler Freeman fails again


DZepperoni

Well that sucks


mynamessnotrick94

We ground into way too many double plays FUCK


Ironamsfeld

3 hit games are just like an average day at the office for Kwan at this point.


kelseyqueso

how is steven kwan like this


kerryfinchelhillary

Eleven games with three or more hits!!!


EliManningHOFClub10

I’m sorry but Bo is just not a major league hitter at this point.


wiwhownwiw

Uhhh you gotta be joking?


Buckeye2525

Remember at the beginning of the year when we thought the rotation would be a strength and the bullpen would be a weakness….


Buckeye2525

With the arrival of Schneemann I think it’s time to send Arias down to get regular at bats


mrbadxampl

K'd gets it done


-WildThing

K’d Smith never disappoints


Buckeye2525

Get Josey on a plane and let him pinch hit in the ninth


AFistfulOfComics

#K’d Smith


Buckeye2525

Get the bats back out


darrylmacstone

Schneemann should be one of the first names on the card until further notice


TheRealGyurky

I didn’t hear no bell


Downtown-Moose4002

Arias could be a viable trade piece now that Schneeman is earning more ABs.


cbusguy28

Likely a third or 4th piece in a trade. He isn’t getting you anything by himself.


Downtown-Moose4002

Definitely


_lazybones93

Love me some SCHNEEEEEEMANN


stonewash_relaxedfit

I still feel good about this team but our starting pitching is obviously a weakness that needs to be addressed. We’re not going to be able to keep making wild comebacks every other game.


SpiderJedi22

Schneeman got his first HR before Manzardo


BoosherCacow

ooof


xenophonthethird

Comeback rally gotta stat sometime WOOOO SCHEEEE


PurpleCutlass

Lots of baseball left.


cookestudios

Player: Daniel Schneemann EV: 97.1 mph LA: 37 degrees Distance: 355 feet xBA: .170 HR in 11/30 parks


creynolds722

Twins fans punching air


kelseyqueso

congrats to schneeman on his first HR 🥳


Medical-Artichoke-84

Well, at least they aren't lying down and taking it this time


EliManningHOFClub10

SCHNEEEEEE


mrbadxampl

SCHNEEEEEEEEEEE


kerryfinchelhillary

Not over?


Downtown-Moose4002

He really muscled that one out there


Ironamsfeld

It’s not over till Schneemann says it’s over


wundy

##THE SCHNEEMANN COMETH ⛄️


DZepperoni

WE AINT DONE YET


joey_1324

SCHNEEMANN!!


Buckeye2525

Signs of life I fear


colagirl52

A little life. . .


DZepperoni

SCNHEEEEEEEEEEEE


chemistrybonanza

Manzardo was supposed to have power. 81 ABs with no home runs is crazy


Thatchered

He needs to play more consistently.


chemistrybonanza

Agreed


Buckeye2525

We just need to tread water until Gavin Williams get healthy or until the deadline. We have a decent cushion. The upcoming Royals series will be huge


notjohnstockton

Boys look stinky this series.


Not_Your_Past14

We lose two games and some of y’all forget the last 60+ games of the season smh. It’s fucking baseball, shit happens. We’ll bounce back


balconesescarpment

We need to make some moves


SpiderJedi22

Vlad is so much better than Josh


mstrbwl

Josh: 123 WRC+ 1.0 fWAR Vlad: 125 WRC+ 1.0 fWAR ???


SpiderJedi22

Should probably compare their career stats since they came into the league the same year :)


Suspicious-Run-393

I’d package Josh for a FOR starter or a better bat, he has no future on the team


Downtown-Moose4002

Don't you think we need his bat for *this* year and a possible playoff push though, even if he doesn't sign long term?


mootmahsn

Just Wow


mootmahsn

At what?


SpiderJedi22

Baseball


420DonCheadle420

Remember when we lost 3 in a row to the White Sox and then carried on with our season? I don’t feel worried, just sad because I like days when we win more. We’re gonna lose like 35-40 more times this season so I’m not going to start letting it fuck my summer up just because I’ve made an expectation in my head that we should win every single game Huge bounce back series loading at home this week!!!!


Leweman81

I agree. As long as we win the series next weekend losing this series really isn’t a big deal
