Cleveland Guardians (2025 Season Thread)

If you’ve watched Ortiz pitch this season, you know for certain that this particular pitch does not stand out as unique. He’s uncorked plenty that look pretty similar.

So which is it: Ortiz, like the vast majority of young MLB pitchers, lacks consistency and command

Or

Ortiz has been dumping balls for prop bets a whole lot more than the 2 times they’ve alleged?

In the last 4 games they have allowed 5 runs in regulation innings and lost all 4.

They have been shut out 5 times in the current 9 game losing streak.

But losing a game where you gave up 1 hit in 9 innings and your closer allowed the tying run on a hit batter and wild pitch - unbearable.

Easy to time a cutter when you know it’s coming…regardless of its velo. Worst hitting team since the mid 80s. Not one batter is hitting above .300. Kwan and Ramirez are at .298 and .297 respectively. In the words of my main man Randy Moss, “Straight Trash Homie…”

I will grant you that the Cleveland hitters are actual savants at suckitude. But .300 is no longer a real measure of hitting success, as there are only 9 hitters in all of MLB that are currently over .300 (thats out of the 157 players currenly listed as eligible for a batting title). The current overall average is around .242 (https://www.tribtoday.com/sports/20...RK (AP) — Baseball,first full month last year.)

Cleveland currently has a team batting average of 0.224, just above the last place White Sox with a team average of 0.222. For comparison, Houston is first in team batting average at .261. They are also at or near the bottom in nearly every other batting statistic.

So yeah, Cleveland majorly sucks at hitting.
