    Cleveland Guardians (2025 Season Thread)

    I've always heard that Double-A is where you make it or break as a prospect. I know some organizations feel that once you've proven yourself half a year in Double-A, you cemented yourself on the map to the majors. Some feel once they're comfortable with a top prospect in Double-A, that Triple-A...

    Cleveland Guardians (2025 Season Thread)

    I would love to be wrong about Boyd! Something has certainly changed for him. When he was with Detroit, I thought he was overhyped (especially with how the Tigers wanted a king's ransom for him) and home runs did him in too often. He kept the homers down with Cleveland and truly looked like a...

    Cleveland Guardians (2025 Season Thread)

    Karinchak posted some really good numbers in Columbus to close out the season. I had read that there was talk of recalling him very late in the year, but the emergence (and success) of Walters and Sabrowski looks to have nixed those chances. Strzelecki is a DFA candidate. I can't see him...

    Who would get a hit first, the Cleveland catchers or Stevie Wonder? Then again, pretty much everyone is swinging it like Stevie Wonder playing tennis.

    Cleveland Guardindians (2024 AL Central Champs)

    I'd still take Naylor 10 out of 10 times over Hedges. Bo has been very streaky this year. Since Fry behind the plate isn't going to happen, gotta hope that Naylor eventually gets a random hit or two. With Hedges, you're just hoping for random contact. Yeah, they brought up Fry's injury last...

    Cleveland Guardindians (2024 AL Central Champs)

    For the catching situation, why isn't Fry being considered? And don't give me this arm injury bullshit. Fry has played the field since the talks of his injury came out. So, he might not be able to throw out base stealers? Their base stealing threats are pretty much; Chisholm and Volpe. And we...

    Cleveland Guardindians (2024 AL Central Champs)

    2024 Hedges is to Vogt as 2016 Michael Martinez was to Francona Other than that, I think Vogt has done about as good of a job as he can with the decision-making. I think he's used the bullpen very well and strategically pulling the starter when you need to put out the fire. Though, it was...

    Even if he can prove it, he would still have to prove that Ohio State used it and wasn't skeptical while dismissing it, like they probably would. Oh, and then if you can somehow prove that Ohio State used your information, he would need to prove how this was also against the rules...

    Cleveland Guardindians (2024 AL Central Champs)

    I guess you can call it soiling themselves or a meltdown or imploding, but I think it was just a very dumb sequence of pitches. Cutter, Cutter, Cutter, Slider, Slider, Slider Carpenter fouled off the second Slider and it looked like a pretty good swing. If knowing that and given that Clase...

    Cleveland Guardindians (2024 AL Central Champs)

    I don't understand Clase throwing three straight sliders. Carpenter fouled off the second one. Gotta: Also, I hope that umpire isn't behind the plate for the rest of the series. Inside or low was 50/50 on whether it's a strike or ball.

    Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year! Haha thats actually funny)

    Tito is a great Manager. However, if any of you Reds fans aren't familiar with him, get ready for these things to annoy you... 1. He seems to get enamored with certain players and continues to put them in positions that they shouldn't be in (i.e. Michael Martinez). 2. He doesn't seem to like...

    I'm surprised that call stood. It was 50/50, so it definitely should have stayed with the call on the field, but we seemed to get screwed more than going our way.

    To be fair, the CB holding onto him had nothing to do with it looking like Smith was doing the pushing off. Nothing. Also, that catch was...decent.

    MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

    MLB: Let's make rule changes in an effort to make the game more exciting and draw in more fans. Also MLB: Let's make sure to schedule post-season games in the middle of the day, when the majority of people are at work.

    Desmond Howard (traitor, whiny btch, cockbiscuit, exsanguinated titwhistle)

    Those are strong words coming from an alumnus of a school that scheduled a combined team non-conference record of 30-46 over the previous two seasons. And ducked an ass beating in 2020.
