Guards win with bottom of the order offense and strong pitching!

The Cleveland Guardians were looking to avoid a series sweep in Game 3 against the Houston Astros. After two disappointing loses, it was crucial for the Guardians offense to make a splash and help out the pitching staff with some much needed run support.

Tanner Bibee got the start for Cleveland, looking his dominant self through the third. Going into the fourth inning he had...

Columbus Clippers 2, Toledo Mud Hens 1

Box Score · Clippers improve to 26-33

It was a good day for the Guardians top prospects in Columbus. Chase DeLauter went 1-3 with a walk. His hit was a single that came off the bat at 104.6 MPH. He also had a lineout that came off the bat at 106.7 MPH. His slash line does not look great on the surface, but he is definitely hitting the ball well right now, he is just having some bad...

Guardians News and Notes: Everyone is Sadder

News and Notes for Sunday, June 8th, 2025

The Guardians have lost two games to the Astros and their hitting looks horrendous. Happy Sunday, everyone.

They have to at least swap Jhonkensy Noel (who has a wRC+ of 4) for Johnathan Rodríguez at this point. I realize they probably want to wait for Lane Thomas. Too bad.

Also, Will Wilson now has a 92 wRC+ vs LHP (1 wRC+ vs RHP), is striking out 37.5% of the time. I can accept him being on the roster if...

Out to sweep Guardians, Astros likely to rely on 'pen

Houston got an outstanding bullpen performance in a 5-3, 10-inning win over the host Cleveland Guardians on Saturday, and the Astros will likely need another strong outing from their relievers if they want to complete a three-game sweep on Sunday.

News and Notes for Saturday, June 7th, 2025

The Guardians are getting beat by good teams and so everyone is sad.

Maybe people who insisted they weren't good and their run differential would catch up to them are happy, I don't know. The Guardians lost 4-2 to the Astros last night.

Tim Stebbins wrote about how David Fry could be a good solution for the number two spot in the lineup. He doesn't address how they are going to fit him in without taking out their...

Some things need to change

This won't be a fun game to recap or read about.

The Guardians got a bad scouting report on Astros' left-fielder Maurice Dubon, apparently, as both Angel Martinez and Jose Ramirez smoked singles to him and were thrown out trying to make them doubles in the first inning. Looked to me like they both ignored stop signs from Sandy Alomar at first.

These aren't mistakes the team can afford to make against teams like the Astros,...
