Columbus Clippers 5, Memphis Redbirds 6Box Score · Clippers fall to 46-51
Doug Nikhazy finally got roughed up in AAA after his unbelievable start. He gave up 6 runs on 8 hits with just 2 strikeouts to 2 walks in 5 innings pitched. His AAA ERA is still at an awesome 2.77 despite the poor start today.
That being said, Randy Labaut and Tyler Beede filled in and gave 4 innings of scoreless baseball. They both limited...

Shaping up to be a challenging series

The Guardians are 61-41 with a +77 run differential, 13th in MLB with a team wRC+ of 103, 20th in Baserunning Runs Above Average at -3.5, fourth in Defensive WAR at 6.8, 27th in starter FIP at 4.60, and first in reliever FIP at 3.14.

Breaking down potential arms on the market that the Guardians could make a move for, and their likelihood of happening
We are officially past the halfway point of the 2024 season, and your Cleveland Guardians sit in poll position in the AL Central, but a lot of help is still needed if this team has serious aspirations in October, namely within the starting rotation.
Coming out of the All-Star Break, this is where the Guardians starting rotation ranks in MLB in major statistical...

News and Notes for Friday, July 26th, 2024
The Guardians offense remained MIA, making an unfortunate hanging slider to Javy Baez from Gavin Williams a moot point in a 3-0 loss.
Good news: Gavin Williams went six innings and gave up six hits, two walks and struck out nine, Pedro Avila had two scoreless and Peter Strzelecki had a scoreless ninth. Jose Ramirez had a double and a walk and Jhonkensy Noel and Josh Naylor also both doubled.
Beyond that, it was...

A question fans and blogs are asking answered
Recently, another Cleveland sports blog argued that the Guardians should sign Trevor Bauer so Covering the Corner would like to weigh in:
Should the Guardians sign Trevor Bauer?
NO.
Will the Guardians sign the pitcher who stupidly cut his finger during their World Series run, who fell apart repeatedly in 2017 and 2018's playoff appearances, who embarrassed their future Hall of Fame...

Cleveland offense and bullpen rally together after the starting pitcher is pulled early.
Tanner Bibee took the mound against the Detroit Tigers. This start was shaping up to be one of his best starts and completely opposite of his last start against the Tigers. Bibee was locked in, his only blemish a home run to Matt Vierling in the top of the 1st and a hit to Colt Keith in the 4th. After striking out Gio Urshela in the top of the 5th, Bibee was cruising at...

Looking at past trends
To make an educated guess at what the Cleveland Guardians might do at July 30th's trade deadline, it may be helpful to look at past trades the franchise has pulled off.
Since 2018, the Guardians have traded with the:
Padres - 4 times
Cardinals
Tigers
Blue Jays - 2 times
Pirates
Nationals
Mariners - 2 times
White Sox - 2 times
Mets - 2 times
Marlins - 2 times
Rays - 5 times
Reds - 3 times
Red Sox
Rangers
Astros
Braves
Brewers - 2...
With the trade deadline looming, the Cleveland Guardians have several needs to round out the roster. Which players are the best fits? Cleveland currently sits atop the AL Central with the best record in the American League, and the second-best record in all of baseball, at 61-40.
Josh Naylor chopped a two-out, tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning and the Cleveland Guardians overcame the exit of ace Tanner Bibee to cramping, earning a 2-1 victory over the visiting Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.

This part will cover the rest of the team — the pitchers, plus a managerial grade
A couple weeks ago, I put together the first of this two-part analysis on my first half grades for the Cleveland Guardians. That one covered the individual performances from most of our position players and lineup regulars. This time through, however, I will be covering the pitching staff’s and manager Stephen Vogt’s grades.
The pitching staff’s contributions to the...

news & notes: July 24, 2024
The Guardians entered Tuesday’s game on the struggle bus. They hadn’t hit a home run since Bobby Bradley was on the team; they hadn’t driven in a runner from third base since Casey Blake was.
But they accomplished both of these things against the Tigers’ Johnny Everyonebutmaedastaff.
Steve Kwan started things with a solo home run in the 3rd. It was the first of 4 straight innings the Guards scored in!...
Jose Ramirez's first homer in nearly a month put Cleveland ahead for good in the fifth, and his RBI single an inning later provided some needed insurance, as the Guardians beat the visiting Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Tuesday night.

We are a week away from the trade deadline
The Guardians are week away from the 6PM EST, July 30th, MLB trade deadline. With a four-game division lead diminishing in a team-wide slump, what can Cleveland fans expect in the days ahead?
The first thing I think we can expect is continued aggression in making moves on the position player side of the roster. News leaked that Brayan Rocchio is headed to Columbus from Zack Meisel on the Selby is Godcast, but now he...

News and Notes for Tuesday, July 23rd, 2024
The Guardians lost again, this time 8-2 to the Detroit Tigers.
Cleveland collected 12 hits, 2 walks and 1 hit-by-pitch but could only manage two runs against Tarik Skubal and company. They also allowed Skubal to pitch seven innings which may have ticked me off more than anything else, given that Detroit is set to throw two bullpen games in this series. The lack of runs is probably because 10 of those 12 hits were...
