Roldis what are we doin fella

Big35Hurt · 09-30-2025, 08:13 PM

Way to go Red Sox!

unreal13 · 09-30-2025, 08:16 PM

Brutal. Why not pinch run for Goldschmidt?

Hollywood42 · 09-30-2025, 08:17 PM

Extremely fun day of baseball so far, and as I type that, Ohtani hits a nuke!

And I would’ve said pinch hit a righty for Jazz or Grisham but they had none left . Another game blown by Boone’s managing. Fried should’ve stayed in until he was in trouble and bringing in Bednar while trailing was another dumb move as I would rather have him ready to pitch 2 innings tomorrow if needed. So now it’s Rodon against Bello to save the season. I have said this for the longest but it needs to be repeated they win in spite of Boone not because of him.

Raleigh504 · 09-30-2025, 08:35 PM

What drives me crazy is the platooning that Cleveland does. They always put someone in there just cause they bat right or left based on the pitcher and will even pinch hit for guys who are 2-2 or 3-3 just cause they bat on the wrong side.

If you say you have two guys who can play a position, you really have none.

Bosoxfan5990 · 09-30-2025, 08:57 PM

Daaaaaaa Yankees lose!

JohnnyHatesJazz · 09-30-2025, 08:57 PM

Hunter getting hunted.

ninjacookies · 09-30-2025, 10:07 PM

Feels like Judge may be trending in the way of Trout in terms of long term legacy. Except he has the benefit of donning the pinstripes.

Been on how many stacked teams now? With very little effect on postseason success.

Meanwhile Sho out here still dropping bombs like Hiroshima.

....too soon?

blackvodka · 09-30-2025, 10:56 PM

I still can't believe Chapman got out of that. Bases loaded, no outs, ZERO runs

Not saying you're wrong, but Judge faced Garrett Crochet, who has been arguably the fourth-best pitcher in MLB this season. Judge still went 2-4 at the plate in the game. He'll likely make some significant noise this series before it's all said and done.

Because Boone is a bad manager. Goldy is the 2nd slowest on that team and he leaves him in.

Chris Lyle · 10-01-2025, 12:06 PM

Well here we go with the first of the elimination games today....

Chris Lyle · 10-01-2025, 12:13 PM

Sun gets the rookie Delauter there... not a good start if you are a Guards fan

Chris Lyle · 10-01-2025, 12:19 PM

If Bibee gets out of this could be a big momentum swing in this game. Way early obviously but could be big...

Chris Lyle · 10-01-2025, 12:21 PM

3 Straight K's to get out of it.... HUGE for Bibee there!

JWBlue · 10-01-2025, 12:22 PM

Wow. Bibee got away with a high changeup there to Greene. Easily could have been deposited.

Chris Lyle · 10-01-2025, 12:27 PM

One of the rookies with a nice homer. Way to go Valera! Happy for the kid

Chris Lyle · 10-01-2025, 12:33 PM

That's the difference right now from Bibee versus earlier in the season he would of imploded when tough things happened like in the top of the 1st. Now at least this time gets out of it with no runs.

1-0 Guards headed to 2nd

Rememberthepast · 10-01-2025, 12:49 PM

Mize is not competing with two strikes on the batter. Waaaay too many pitches with 2 strikes and not close enough to be considered tempting.

Chris Lyle · 10-01-2025, 01:19 PM

Well huge hit for Baez there... can't walk these guys and not get burnt...

See how this challenge goes.

unreal13 · 10-01-2025, 01:21 PM

Wow, huge call. Took a run off the board.
