[u/turtleboy95]

Cade Smith settling into the closer role is a lifesaver. Dude is slamming the door on the regular.

[u/arelleaytch → u/turtleboy95]

I agree, go Guards

[u/midnightcereal815 → u/turtleboy95]

He has more saves than Mason Miller

[u/mrbubblesthebear → u/midnightcereal815]

While fuck yeah hell yeah, that's also just cause all our games are withing 3 runs

[u/Eruntalonn → u/mrbubblesthebear]

That’s what I thought. It’s good he gets to the mound with the game on the line and holds it, but he depends on the score to get a save.

[u/Buddy__Repperton → u/Eruntalonn]

That’s how saves work

[u/isitatomic → u/turtleboy95]

Shaky start but he's def settling in. Another inning slayed by Cade ⚔️

[u/edoreinn → u/isitatomic]

To close out a game proficiently started by Slade

[u/doddyoldtinyhands → u/turtleboy95]

Did they say 17 straight?

[u/Exciting-Cobbler-741 → u/doddyoldtinyhands]

Yup

[u/gray_burger → u/turtleboy95]

Better than Clase already just due to his commitment to the team

[u/InsuranceInner3040 → u/turtleboy95]

I was worried about him taking over full time. I didn’t think he was going to be good as the everyday guy. I was wrong and gladly so. He has been awesome.

[u/-Blade_Runner- → u/turtleboy95]

Needs to continue be Good Cade!

PS: Fuck Clase!!

[u/OolongGeer → u/turtleboy95]

F yeah. Just looking at the box score. Great job by the bully pen overall.

Some scattered hits, but no walks, and a nicely slammed door.

[u/cookestudios]

Record: 34-25

Place: 1st

Division lead: 3.5

Games to play: 103

Playoffs magic number: 100

Current pace: 93-69

[u/wundy]

20 SAVES?!

[u/SylemNova → u/wundy]

It's not even June

[u/BoosherCacow → u/SylemNova]

It seems to me that we have an above average number of close games. He gets lots of opportunities. I fucking love it.

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

That first inning was great, right? Nothing else to talk about.

[u/LeroyMyBoi → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

The ninth was good too! How cares what happens between.

[u/xkq227 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Sometimes that's all it takes

[u/guardeagle → u/xkq227]

[u/420DonCheadle420]

This is why ABS exists and why we traded for Patrick Bailey and why we need to save Patrick all our ABS challenges

[u/PlanCleveland → u/420DonCheadle420]

I've been so in on this trade from the start even if it meant losing Tugboat

[u/thegermblaster → u/PlanCleveland]

Side note: I love that your mom sends you links to Guardians news/transactions. Great mom and great job by mom!

[u/arelleaytch → u/420DonCheadle420]

Better at defense, better at calling games, and apparently even a better batter than Bo

[u/edoreinn → u/420DonCheadle420]

Hedgie’s been good too. I don’t know his challenge record off the top of my head.

But I approve of Hedgie + Bailey over any combo with Bo

[u/Reasonable_Spell_740 → u/edoreinn]

It's even hard to judge off of challenge record. I know both of them have been throwing away challenges at the end of the game because they'll lose them if they aren't used.

[u/SylemNova]

"Sir, there's been a fourth Guardians run"

[u/CaptainJackKevorkian → u/SylemNova]

Offense heard we wanted more than 3 runs today and responded in a big big way

[u/DZepperoni]

Positives from today’s Cleveland baseball:

I know Hog is the clubhouse sword guy, but I think it’d just feel right for Slade to do it. Slade Cecconi🗡️ takes the mound and ends with a final line of 4.1IP, 7H, 3R, 0BB, and 3K on 69 pitches (49 strikes). Never mind, sub 4 ERA only for sword privileges.

The offense… IT’S ALIVEEEEEE! The bats get 4 runs off of 10 hits and a 🍌 stolen base. A Red Sox opener takes the hill and immediately gives up 4 runs, with singles from José🐐, CDL🚚, Rhys⚡️, Manzo🥔, Angel😇, and Schnee⛄️, and a Bailey🛡️ sac fly to top it off. Bailey also added a double, Chase and Manzo each added another single, and Baz🍌 had a single+SB combo.

Break out the arm arm arms! That was autocorrect somehow but I’m leaving it! Holderman🤝(1.1IP), Herrin🐟(0.2IP), Armstrong💪(0.2IP), Gaddis☠️(1IP), and K’d Smith🐴(1IP, 3K) all combine to go 4.2IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, and 5K. Never a nervous moment!

(Yesterday) It be the Clippers’ turn for a double digit run day, securing a 10-3 victory off the back of… oh you’ve gotta be kidding me. NoJo⛰️ extends his on base streak to 19 games thanks to a 4/5 performance. Ingle📐 got into one and smashed a 3 run bomb, Genao👼 went 3/4 with a walk and a double, and Denholm📏 went 5IP, 1H, 0R, 3BB, and 4K on 76(43) pitches out of the pen.

[u/SylemNova → u/DZepperoni]

What's the "you gotta be kidding me" about?

[u/DZepperoni → u/SylemNova]

Nolan Jones turning into an actual hitter again would force me to go find comment and delete them.

[u/guccitaint → u/DZepperoni]

Your analysis is the chef’s kiss of this sub! 🤌❤️

[u/Hold_my_Dirk]

[u/vichan → u/Hold_my_Dirk]

i want this framed and on my fridge

[u/Excellent_Walrus150 → u/Hold_my_Dirk]

He been hanging with Bellinger?

[u/guccitaint → u/Hold_my_Dirk]

He’s so high- I could blindfold him with dental floss

[u/Hold_my_Dirk]

Look man, Bello was great. I know his numbers for the year aren’t but he was really good. They’re all major leaguers for a reason. Gotta tip your cap.

Oh btw the Guards still won. Yeah you’d like a little more but a Win is a win is a win and we take those.

[u/Walnutbutters → u/Hold_my_Dirk]

Get out of here with your level headed take

[u/redcobra2 → u/Walnutbutters]

This is Reddit, good sir

[u/stev389 → u/Hold_my_Dirk]

Who is Bello?

Edit: Sorry I’m super high and was trying to figure out which Guardians player had the nickname Bello

[u/MrNovember785 → u/stev389]

Bella. From Twilight.

[u/ja21121 → u/stev389]

The pitcher who just went 7 shutout innings on 62 pitches.....

[u/Nick_At_Now → u/stev389]

Red Sox pitcher

[u/vichan → u/Hold_my_Dirk]

I also tip my cap to you for appreciating good baseballs

[u/Hold_my_Dirk → u/vichan]

I agree go guards

[u/Available-Parfait553 → u/Hold_my_Dirk]

You’re right but we’re lucky again.

[u/ur_shitHighSchool_bf]

score 4 runs and don't let them score 5. Easy enough to get us to 97 wins and an October to remember.

[u/kdude332]

Imagine the team we could have if Ortiz and clase weren't bums?

[u/ClumbsyVulture → u/kdude332]

We would have probably traded Clase but still. We could have gotten something good for him instead on nothing

[u/Reasonable_Bite_7285 → u/kdude332]

Honestly scary to think about

[u/loombees]

Go Guards

[u/Carnegie-And-Ontario]

Not many teams can replace a lights out closer with lights out closer. Guards did.

[u/boozinf]

Cade Smith is my favorite psychopath

[u/lil_obi216]

Loving Rhys nodding along to Angel's post game presser, he's brought a great veteran presence to the team imo

[u/-Blade_Runner-]

[u/Buckeye2525]

You can have fun dropping singles at the club

[u/Jceraa]

Most wins in the AL btw (How have we played 5 more games then the Rays)

[u/Spetznazx → u/Jceraa]

Huh we are 3rd. Rays and Yankees both have 35 wins we have 34

[u/wundy]

“I got a good arm” yes you do, Angel 🤩

[u/Kellygoosecock169]

I definitely commend Vogt for pulling slade at the right time

[u/Big_Shot_Bob13]

A win is a win! do wish we scored against brayan bello though…

[u/okiedokiewo]

We missed the first inning due to parking issues at two garages. Told my friend already there that we probably missed all the runs they were going to score. Whelp lol! Still a fun game, and I’ll watch the first inning on TV when I get home.

[u/thirdouting]

just seen Cooper Ingle hit a triple in person in Toledo, I’ve seen enough, bring him up

[u/No_Contribution_7635 → u/thirdouting]

Fairchild was absolutely the first guy to go for with all the benefits he brings. But hell yeah Ingle is next, we're DHing Hoskins for Pete's sake.

They'll find a way to get a guy up who's batting that good AND can call five correct ABS challenges in one night.

[u/Bigcouchpotato1]

Who does Ben Broussard's hair?

[u/Breaking_Ball77]

It was a good thing Bello didn’t start the game.

[u/ClumbsyVulture → u/Breaking_Ball77]

Red Sox def messed up on that one. He starts, it’s an 0-3 loss most likely

[u/Exciting-Cobbler-741 → u/Breaking_Ball77]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

[u/UnconventionalWriter]

Guys I've been gone for a month because of Cavs but it's so good to be back!

Go Guards!

[u/Type0_Nostalgia]

That play by Martinez!! Rocchio doesn’t make many errors i love that when it happens it doesn’t cost us

[u/Exciting-Cobbler-741 → u/Type0_Nostalgia]

Yes! Love to see when guys pick each other up like that

[u/SizemoreGOAT → u/Type0_Nostalgia]

I love rocchio but that’s patently false. 2024 alcs would say otherwise

[u/mydogisgold]

Does he have jaundice?!?!

[u/No_Contribution_7635]

We take those.

And with frequency

[u/sirmackerel0325]

Always a good time when you get to beat up on the BoSox

[u/SizemoreGOAT → u/sirmackerel0325]

Never forget 07

[u/the_main_entrance]

Bazzana needs an outfielders mitt.

[u/wundy]

the little mouse-hand on the backdrop, lol

[u/No_Contribution_7635]

Those Tigers blew it again.

[u/ThisHideousReplica]

Fucking Tigers 😅

[u/TheRealGyurky]

The Detroit Tigers are fucking useless.

[u/OolongGeer]

Nice activity from 3-4-5 tonight.

Billy Haywood from Little Big League would have been very proud.

[u/Competitive_Ad1237]

I like winning it’s fun. Messick tomorrow and I think Bibee Sunday

[u/manolabars]

I could only watch the game after the 2nd inning and you would’ve thought I was pranked by the way the game day thread was hyping us up and then I had to witness our bats die at the plate
