  1. I’m on the west coast and I’m still up. I hope I can fall asleep and just wake up at 10 when the game starts, but my brain is dumb and it’ll probably wake me up early with anxiety about the game 

  2. I’ve been up since 3:30 and can’t fall back asleep out of anticipation for this game.

    I watched “[The Dynasty That Almost Was](https://youtu.be/gZ12S14FC6s?si=2VL0Iim0vmr1OQ0o)” about the 90s team as a distraction. What a ride, highly recommended.

    I like our chances today but whatever happens, thanks for the great season.

  3. Vogt – if you are reading this, I just have one lineup wish to start the game:

    Gimmy bats 2nd, Fry bats 5th – the ole death lineup from the start of the season (Kwan, Gimmy, José, Naylor, Fry).

    I’d rather have more speed in the next batter after Kwan gets on base since Skubal showed he could get a double play ball in literally every hot water situation he found himself in. 

    That is all! 

    GO GUARDIANS!!!!!!!!

  4. Postseason ads during LA SD game 90% Ohtani-Judge. MLB wants it so bad. 
    Screw them. 
    Fuck the Dodgers. 
    Double Fuck the Yankees!

    Let’s go Guards!!!

  5. Been my lifelong dream to attend a Cleveland Indians/Guardians game on my birthday. After 57 long years, my dream is becoming a reality! Let’s beat the snot out of those kitties and storm into the ALCS!

  6. I miss John Adams’s drum. When I went to the ALDS against the Yankees a few years ago, some fans had managed to replicate it by hammering on the storage boxes. The atmosphere at game 1 was awesome, but you can tell it’s missing something

  7. This is why you do all that hard work: to get yourself in big games like this. Go Guards, seize the moment.

    I’ll see y’all there.

  8. It’s a good thing we moved the game up to

    *Checks forecast*

    The only time of day with rain projected

  9. -Our worship the clown Browns city didn’t finaly sell this game out until yesterday.
    – Last minute time change resulting in tons of secondary market selling.
    – Det only 2.5 hours away.

    Concerned today will be packed will with DET fans. Hope I’m wrong.

  10. I woke up early today to finish some homework and get chores done early so I can fully lock in on this game.

    Come on Guardians, you got the monkey off your back with elimination games now keep that from happening again. Facing the best pitcher in the league, and hopefully we’ve cracked the code to Skubal seeing as we’re facing him again so soon.

    Going to need Boyd to pitch his heart out and the bullpen to lock things down.

    I’m thinking. – Boyd 1-3 then Gavin comes in for 4-6.

    7th – Herrin or Smith

    8th – Hunter

    9th – Clase

  11. Man I would love nothing more than to get a couple against Skubal early to make Detroit start to have doubts. They’ve been able to relax these last couple days knowing that their savior can bail them out in game 5, so if he shows some cracks early that could mess with their confidence. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.

  12. My mom was born in 1948, the last time we won a World Series. She died two weeks ago. She was a huge Indians/Guards fan her whole life. Her celebration of life ceremony is today at 1 PM. We thought we would be able to watch the game afterwards, but since it got moved to 1 PM, now we are bringing a big TV and will have the game on at the celebration of life. Just like mom would have wanted it.

  13. I have to work today so I’ll probably be missing most of this game unfortunately. Let’s hoping when I check my phone when I’m done I have good news!

  14. He’s human. He’s on 4 days of rest. We’ve seen him recently. Please jump him

    Take us home Matthew. Guards in 5
