Positives from today’s Cleveland baseball:
The long awaited bounce back start has finally arrived for Ben Lively! Today, Lively goes 5IP, 4H, 0R, 1BB, and 2K on just 59 pitches. A low pitch count continues to not be an issue… wonder why that could be?
Best bullpen in baseball, that’s why. K’d Smith(1IP), Herrin(1IP), Gaddis(1IP), and Clase🐉(1IP) combine for 4IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, and 7K. Everybody but Clase gets 2 strikeouts, and I mean, he’s Clase… THEY’RE SO GOOD.
Welcome back Angel! The offense puts up 2 runs off of 7 hits, 3 walks, and one stolen base. Angel😇 and José🐐 each get two hits with José having a double, and a nice double steal attempt between the two to get Angel home. Schnee⛄️ slaps a double and Rocchio gets him home with a single.
Kids Clubhouse continues to prevent full minor league posting, but I think JRod hit another home run? He has a LOT.
If my numbers are correct that makes it 67-2 when leading after 6 innings
That sounds so impossibly ridiculous.

Guardians win. The Royals are losing. Let’s go Pirates. It’s a good Sunday.
C’mon Pirates

Glad we were able to come back with this series and even it up. So happy Angel is back in the lineup! Let’s go Guards!
Pirates please hold on
Not much happened today, and that’s ok
Please god just get this bullpen to the postseason and let them cook 🙏
Series started rough but finished strong. Solid pitching throughout. Lets carry this momentum and steam roll Minnesota and destroy their hopes and dreams!!
Very happy. Said I wanted a split before the series so no complaints here. Team consistently steps up to the plate (pun intended) when faced with serious adversity. Proud to be a fan.
Guards won, Browns won. Preeeetty good Sunday if you ask me
Guards won, Browns won, ravens lost, royals lost. It’s a good day!
2 more outs, Pittsburgh. Chapman of all people on the hill.
Royals lost 🥳
Thank you, Bucs!
