Positives from today’s Cleveland baseball:
Welcome to Cleveland Andrew Walters!
Slow night for the bats as they get 2 runs off of 5 hits, 4 walks, and José stolen base 39. Lane hits a double for the sole XBH and an RBI, and Gimmy has the other RBI.
Big Rig gets the start tonight! Gavin🚛 goes 5.1IP, 7H, 3R, 2BB, and 5K on 90 pitches. A solo home run allowed and two outs away from a quality start, I’d say that’s a good day.
Sabrowski(1.1IP), Avila(1.1IP, 1R) and Walters(1IP, 1R(0ER) combine for 3.2IP, 2H, 2R, 2BB, and 2K. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[LAKE COUNTY WINS!!!!!](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClevelandGuardians/s/JX7znq8NcT) THEY MOVE ON TO THE MIDWEST LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES!!!!
What even was that game
Of course Freeman ends that offensive shit show with his signature ground out to third
How fitting
seems like everytime the opponent is ahead of us, it sucks every ounce of life out of us.
I did not have a good time tonight.
Up four games with 15 to play. Finish the job
There are times when I cannot stand this team. Tonight’s one of those. Sad and pathetic showing tonight 🤷🏻♂️
Kinda feel like the Spider-Man meme after tonight’s game, like they outplayed us at our own general style of ball. Richard Lovelady is one of the better baseball names I’ve heard in a minute.
First of my ten or so games this year where I couldn’t wait to leave early. Team was just completely listless, going through the motions. School night for my ten yr old so we peaced out mid 6th with no regrets
The pitch clock violation was weird as hell, but other than that Walters looked pretty nasty. Hopefully they give him a chance to make the playoff roster.
One of the worst games I’ve gotten to watch all year. Why did I even waste my time?
Yeah we suck
I hope we get hot with the bats rolling in time for Playoffs
Feels like we’re gonna pull a Cavs and just be happy making the playoffs and not give a hoot about the division, which is a shame.
