Cleveland Guardians (2025 Season Thread)

Fun end of year. Kinda knew they were overmatched and the other 75% of the season would show up again. Tried to Believe to the end.

Got me safely into football season. I want more, Guards are up there at the top for my pro fandom. But feels like that’s about all I can ask for anymore.

In the end who cares what happened in the regular season if you immediately get bounced in the post season by the team who just had the biggest division collapse in history? Taking moral victories is why this is not a serious franchise

Winning the division also means less than ever. It's just a meaningless banner to hang. We will never get a real banner unless ownership decides to spend even enough to bring in 3 or 4 just average bats

It's not just spending on bats the whole minor league hitting system needs a overhaul our lack of development on offense is insanely bad
They seem to hit in the minors and then regress once they hit the shores of Lake Erie. Not sure if it is the jump in pitching talent in the majors, hitters getting scared of the big stage, or some weird combination of who knows what. Regardless, the organization needs to figure it out.

It's a organizational issue for sure, not sure exactly what the main drivers are but the offensive development has been so bad for too long for it to just be bad luck, which does happen when it comes to prospects, but it's not purely the case here

Super proud of this team….their talent level doesn’t match a team that should make the playoffs…..they scrapped like crazy to make postseason, and are down multiple high level players for ridiculous situations.

Yeah, they made some terrible errors and were really frustrating in this 3 game, post-season series.

But, they also didn’t even really have the talent to be there.

IMO, credit where it’s due…that is legit one of the worst rosters, top to bottom, to ever make the post season…..from pitching rotation, the bullpen, and position players…….this year was insane.

Congrats to Vogt on an amazing job.
