[u/klein_four_group]

The Fairchild challenge was fine, in that situation it's worth it. The Jose challenge was pointless and honestly just an expression of his frustration with himself.

[u/Rust2]

Jose Ramirez pissing away that last challenge on a low-leverage situation 🤦‍♂️

[u/SylemNova]

I don't "believe in Stephen Vogt" rn

Some pretty horrendous managing if we're about to be in June and we're:

1. Still allowing both challenges to be burned if it's not high leverage

2. Bringing in 2026 Tim Herrin with RISP

3. Dying by the platoon

4. Not willing to put yourself out there to argue for your guys

[u/SylemNova]

I'll just post this before the AB is over

[u/bensto23 → u/SylemNova]

Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll get hit by a pitch

[u/SylemNova]

I think Fairchild being here is completely intentional

Get a look at what he can do (likely nothing) than try to pass him through waivers and free up another 40 man spot

Makes sense they didn't want to burn options on other prospects imo

[u/Smokeupj0hnnie]

0-5 with 5 ks.

I think Ive seen enough... of Stuart Fairchild.

[u/klein_four_group]

I need under-talented teams to stop it with handedness platoons. Fairchild only got the start because he's right handed. Herrin was only brought into that situation because he's lefthanded. There's an entire Tigers team that can't buy a win because their manager cares only about handedness. Just. put. in. the. best. player. Period.

[u/cookestudios]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but with us facing the Yankees and the White Sox facing the Twins, there's a good chance they overtake first next week.

[u/Crabby_Rangooner123 → u/cookestudios]

For sure. Chicago is playing good baseball and we're on the downward spiral back to reality. 

[u/believelander19 → u/cookestudios]

Twins are usually good for a random inexplicable dominant series against a superior opponent....maybe we'll get lucky 😂

[u/cookestudios]

TANNER BIBEE HAS RUN SUPPORT

TANNER BIBEE HAS RUN SUPPORT

[u/Fats_de_Leon]

Suddenly the absence of Sabrowski looms large.

[u/believelander19]

Honestly I vote ban hitters (other than catchers) from challenging until the 9th inning.

Brutal.

Also the LOB numbers today hurt per usual.

Blah.

[u/cookestudios]

At this point, the challenges are on Vogt. He's said multiple times he lets guys have a lot of autonomy with it, and it's bitten us in the butt numerous times, and the stats show we're one of the worst. It's basic game theory and something every player should be taught. Baseball is a game that rewards statistically sound decision-making in the long run, and he's employing a pure instinct-based approach that clearly isn't working.

[u/cbusguy28]

Glad that bum Fairchild used one of our challenges.

[u/Colts_in_iowa]

Having a batting average of .000 and challenging a strike is dumb.

[u/MangoMonkey22 → u/Colts_in_iowa]

Jose’s challenge was far worse

[u/PeteF3]

Looked like a strike, but I'm pretty much out of sympathy for a team that doesn't know how to challenge.

[u/SylemNova]

The Stuart Fairchild game

[u/SylemNova]

There's been some games that have made me mad this year. There's been some games that have made me sad.

This is the rare combo that just really makes me hate baseball for the next 24 hours....

Well I guess 2 days...fuck.

[u/NintendudeX]

On a bright note, Fry looked fantastic. And continues to play anywhere he’s asked to.

Looking forward to the next time Vogt brings himself to penciling him in this anemic ass lineup.

[u/ZebraDawg]

Tanner ByeBye

[u/-WildThing]

[u/Gooner91]

This team really needs to know when to challenge and when not to challenge. I have no idea why they haven't figured it out.

[u/imartimus]

One bad call leads to three runs. Why does baseball do this to me

[u/weaponize09]

I get Voght is a “player’s coach” but at some point he has to get on these guys ass about shitty challenges

[u/diexer1234]

Letting the worst offense in baseball have back to back games with 6 run innings is a massive problem

[u/GuardiansSuperfan48]

Tanner threw a quality start, actually got run support and left with the lead. Of course the bullpen blows up.

[u/Yesalmsot]

So many runs that shouldn't have happened because we wasted our challenges early

[u/Tribein95]

Oh thank god silver slugger hedges

[u/SylemNova]

2 runs off a foul ball, ofc classic Bibee start stuff

[u/SylemNova]

"Sir, the Guardians have scored in multiple innings. The American League is fucked."

[u/i_am_a_grocery_bag]

Officially worried about Jose

[u/DynamicEntropy_]

That’s why you don’t waste your challenges

[u/Mission-Asparagus810]

“when you spend those challenges like lunch money they can come back to haunt you” - hammy

[u/carnage_panda]

This inning right here shows the value of those challenges.

[u/klein_four_group]

Willis should have gone out and talked to Herrin to calm him down after that uncalled strike three.

[u/davelb87]

This is the worst bullpen on a good Cleveland team I’ve seen in years.

[u/wundy]

well, the highlight of the last inning for me was the toddler behind us talking loudly about his new “fucket hat”

[u/cookestudios]

Rocchio and Hoskins are the only two players on this team at or above the league-average success rate for challenges as batters. That's it.

[u/wundy]

wouldn’t it be hi-LAR-ious if blowing that call comes back to bite them in the ass this inning and we walk them off after a bad call goes our way?!

(let me be delusional please)

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

I’m already done with Fairchild. Zero vision.

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

HEDGEY MY GOAT

[u/Ok-Hold-8232]

People don’t talk about Travis Hafner enough. Travis Hafner dude? Prime Travis Hafner? Slugged .659 in 2006. Slashed .292/.409/.562 between 2005-2007. With 99 bombs and 98 doubles. Just know if you ever find yourself in a conversation with me I will, at some point, talk about Travis Hafner

[u/klein_four_group]

Fairchild finding out that major league pitchers are not Czech electricians moonlighting in the WBC.

[u/GuardsBall87]

They aren’t going to win a Bibee game this entire season. He’s cursed or something. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/arelleaytch]

There must be someone who can pinch hit for Fairchild 🥴

[u/Tribein95]

Stu your Cleveland cup of coffee is over after 4 sips

[u/TogashiIsIshida]

Why are we giving Fairchild challenge privileges?

[u/Nick_At_Now]

Fairchild literally looks like me in the box. I would give the Guardians the exact same amount of production.

[u/SurfWookie]

Hog is a specimen of a player whose mere presence stuns and confuses the defense. I've seen it many times before, the Hog-factor gets him on base in lieu of a viable hit.

[u/Think-Try2819 → u/SurfWookie]

[u/dudzi182]

And that’s why our hitters need to be banned from challenging. That’s strike 3.

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

Vogt should get himself ejected.

[u/oldbaywaffle]

This is why the offense shouldn't be wasting fucking challenges. Jesus fucking christ

[u/heylookjorge]

Bibee starts are cursed

[u/GuardiansSuperfan48]

Way to let Tanner down again boys.

[u/queso_del_diablo]

Thank you Fairchild for using a challenge.

[u/Zestyclose_Whole_470]

Pro tip if you bet the first person Herrin faces to reach via hit or walk you will make monies. Been doing it for 2 years now

[u/wundy]

Hedges was pissed, I’m guessing it was even more egregious a call on TV than it looked from here 😩

[u/LukeB90]

Making the nats and now the Sox look like juggernauts

[u/amigobutter]

Being pinch hit for with Petey Halpin has to sting a bit

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

Oh so now we pinch hit for Foulchild.

[u/NewCoffeePlus]

Ump scorecard tomorrow bout to be +5 for the red sox

[u/LD899]

This team has made me so frustrated with ABS calls this year, like the ump will miss a call, then another, and then the one time the ump makes a correct borderline call, we challenge and lose one. I think that we should just not use our challenges on offense at all, unless it is the ninth or so egregious that every single person on the planet except the home plate umpire knows its a strike/ball. I have seen time and time again this team blow its challenges in situations that just don’t matter, and it bites them in the ass. They make for the most frustrating losses.

P.S. - I never thought I would see a player to make me as mad as Juan Brito did this season, so that’s something

[u/SurfWookie]

Dion's been pitching like the game is still winnable. Just a positive from today.

[u/SylemNova]

Lots of blame to go around today, and very little of it is on Tanner Bibee

What the fuck is a foul ball? What the fuck is a strike 3?

What the fuck is a Stuart Fairchild?

[u/cookestudios]

Vogt should have been losing his mind out there.

[u/manolabars]

I fell asleep at the bottom of the 8th yesterday and you wouldn’t believe my reaction when I woke up to the box score

[u/Buckeye2525]

Starting to think we need another starting pitcher

[u/Ohio145]

Bibee is broken

[u/Rust2]

I remember when I had trouble distinguishing between Bieber and Bibee. Pretty soon, I won’t have to worry about either of them.

[u/SylemNova]

Would be nice if we can support a struggling pitcher

Instead we usually see a number other than 0 up there and pack it the fuck in

[u/SylemNova]

THE HOGGGGG

[u/cookestudios]

https://giphy.com/gifs/LF96cahuybcWDQIIcP

[u/Kitchen_accessories]

Fuck anyone who has ever said a bad word about Hedgey.

[u/Jceraa]

I don’t get Fairchild. He’s had extensive time in the majors and did really well in the WBC. Yet he look like he’s never played baseball before. He’s missing pitches by 2-3 feet

[u/klein_four_group]

Fairchild, Nolan Jones, Brito, Bo (and Jrod and Noel before them) etc all demonstrate the huge gap between AAA and the majors.

[u/clownpainusdotfort]

If Bazz is hurt for any extended time all my hopes and dreams are dead

[u/Buckeye2525]

Don’t like Suarez showing up his teammate

[u/Jceraa]

I love what Hoskins has been doing recently though

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

Ranger mocked his teammate and paid the price.

[u/ImGettinThatFoSho]

No PH for Fairchild? Usually Vogt is chomping at the bit to constantly PH

[u/Jceraa]

Stu Fairchild literally make contact with the baseball challenge

[u/Kitchen_accessories]

Hoo boy, Fairchild had been ASS so far.

[u/Tribein95]

Fairchild just can’t be taking at bats away from anyone else on the 40

[u/Ntippit]

Can we send him down before the game ends. I’d rather have 8 players playing right now

[u/clownpainusdotfort]

Ok FO you've made your point, I will never speak ill of Kwan again. He can come back now

[u/klein_four_group]

I'm more upset with the Manzardo at bat than Fairchild. Fairchild is what it is, a defensive warm body to fill in for a few days. Manzardo is supposed to be part of the core and he absolutely kills us with RISP. 34% K rate and 17 RBIs just doesn't cut it for a middle of the order hitter.

[u/cookestudios]

The story Matt is telling reminds me of when Lindor broke his last bat in the bottom of the 9th in a tied game and had to take Abraham Almonte's MASSIVE bat to the plate and immediately hit a walk-off homer

[u/dudzi182]

There is literally not a single hitter on this team that should be allowed to challenge.

[u/klein_four_group]

THATS WHY YOU DON'T BURN CHALLENGES

[u/arelleaytch]

Why is Stuart Fairchild on this team.

[u/LukeB90]

We are officially in a funk

[u/amigobutter]

I know he got squeezed on one of the 8 balls, but Herrin is also just kinda bad. You can't come in as a lefty specialist and then fail to throw strikes to either lefty you were brought in to get and walk in the tying run

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

This ump crew has handed Boston 6 runs today.

[u/mattwb2010]

Bullpen shitting the bed is not normally on my bingo card.

[u/ImpossibleAd561]

I dont know the stats but it seems like this team is donkey at challenges.

[u/DynamicEntropy_]

Holy fucking collapse

[u/GuardsBall87]

This team is complete ass right now. Wow

[u/cbusguy28]

RIP guardians positive run differential. The whole ten days were fun.

[u/cookestudios]

"Get out your seat and jump around."

No, I don't think we will.

[u/SylemNova → u/cookestudios]

"Pack it up pack it in"

Cleveland when/if they score 4

[u/No_Contribution_7635]

Lots of lashing at Fairchild who's essentially a platoon righty/runner bench dude. This offense has bigger issues than that.

Rhys Hoskins is on track to overtake Manzardo for slugging and hitting. Yeah, not good. Was a big pusher of Kyle getting on the team but his development has stalled into "the pinch hitter only" guy.

[u/CamelReds73]

Getting our shit kicked in by a Boston team that is going nowhere this season. Embarrassing

[u/oldbaywaffle]

Fuck challenges, give us automatic balls and strikes full time. A blown strike 3 just turned into 6 fucking runs.

[u/kajkajete]

Fairchild sucks and Jose doesnt. But Fairchild's challenge wasn't the issue today, challenging a strike 2 with the bases empty and 1 out is the decision that makes no sense, not challenging a strike 3 with the bases loaded, 2 outs and a full count.

[u/Buckeye2525]

Williams, Messick, and then there’s everyone else

[u/sonniecg]

Send that boy to Columbus today

[u/clownpainusdotfort]

Well it's only 1 run, and we'd have to score at least 1 run to win anyway, so it's all good

• Me, copemaxxing

[u/klein_four_group]

Fairchild is so bad.

[u/heylookjorge]

HOG WILD

[u/ObiTouchedMyNobi]

HOG

[u/josh_winns]

CRANKED BY THE HOG

[u/arelleaytch]

🚨 HOG RBI 🚨

[u/Hold_my_Dirk]

OFFENSIVE HOG

[u/klein_four_group]

Relative to his talent, Hedgey is one of the few hitters on the team with consistently good approach.

[u/CMHguy50]

Hog a clean up batter suddenly? Wow!

[u/Tribein95]

Saved by hedges

[u/KahlanRahl]

I really don’t know why Stewie is up and playing right now. Should be someone else who isn’t going to play and just let Petey cover for Kwan to give him reps.

[u/cookestudios]

Yes druncles, the famously respectful Red Sox fans

[u/clownpainusdotfort]

That Fairchild WBC HR was clearly AI generated

[u/cookestudios]

Hope he's ok, but holy fudge what a play

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

Fuck everything.

[u/TheDirtyPope]

Two lucky hits and bazzana hurt. Awful inning

[u/Any_Salamander9958]

If they don’t pinch hit for Fairchild I will lose my mind

[u/Friendly_Issue_6511]

Manzo rocking that 2nd percentile 34% K rate this year bois

[u/ImGettinThatFoSho]

Why are we not pinch hitting for him?

[u/SorryDetective6687]

Just waiting to see a Fairchild foul ball let alone an actual batted ball

[u/oldbaywaffle]

Jesus christ, Fairchild sucks. Huge wasted opportunity. And he wastes a challenge on that bullshit.

[u/Jceraa]

He doesn’t even look like he cares man.

[u/_TalkingHat]

I could hit as well as Fairchild and I’m 5’3” and perimenopausal

[u/KahlanRahl → u/_TalkingHat]

Small strike zone, might draw a walk!

[u/SylemNova]

Stuart Fairchild isn't a prospect guys. He's 30.

He's just here to occupy a spot and not burn options for our prospects.

Unfortunately Martinez is hurt and Kwan isn't available, and Vogt also loves his platoons.

I sincerely expect a DFA and a 40 man spot to clear after this. You'll never have to think about him again after today. Pinky promise.

[u/heylookjorge]

Challenges are not Jose's strong suit

[u/klein_four_group]

the only thing more painful than our offense is our challenges

[u/Think-Try2819]

The hog has them worried at first

[u/Tribein95]

Jose could have walked but he fouled off a pitch at his eyeballs.

[u/Tribein95]

Can’t believe Herrin came in and walked the first guy he faced…

[u/Tribein95]

That is your fault Fairchild and your fault Jose

[u/kerryfinchelhillary]

Poor Bibee...

[u/Buckeye2525]

No win for Tanner Bibee

[u/SorryDetective6687]

Welp if that doesn't stop the ass ABS challenges nothing will

[u/s6mwardle]

Some point they have to figure how to manage challenges better

[u/MisterMihai]

Hitters strand men on base all day costing us runs. Also waste all our challenges, costing us even more runs

[u/Fats_de_Leon]

The Guardians just hate Bibee, don't they?

[u/Ntippit]

Member when Herrin was one of the best relievers in the league as a rookie becasue he threw an insane number of strikes? I member.

[u/thekingofthemonsters]

Bibee is going to end this season with a record of like 0-21 and an ERA slightly above 4

[u/SurfWookie]

There's an alternate timeline where Herrin got that 3rd strike and our boys are up to bat 4-3.

[u/pupnsuds-kekambas]

How come so many teams hit clutch hits and we never do. It's so rare for us to have a big inning but I have seen other teams to do it to us many times

[u/Cupcake_and_Candybar]

Why the fuck is Herrin sent out with two guys on base? Fuck the lefty-lefty matchup.

[u/heylookjorge]

Welp see y'all Tuesday

[u/Ntippit]

Holy fuck I hate our bullpen. Hate!
https://giphy.com/gifs/nkUcca2CQ7VT2

[u/joeywahoo92]

I would take Schneeman L on L vs Fairchild 5/5 PA/K’s

[u/Hold_my_Dirk]

I am no longer having a good time

[u/Friendly_Issue_6511]

Herrin managing to ruin Holderman and his own ERA while getting only 1 out. That’s our other big lefty!

[u/clownpainusdotfort]

It's not Stu's fault, it's the fault of whoever rostered him and whoever played him over Schneemann

[u/klein_four_group]

I know that teams don't typically put in high leverage relievers when they are behind, but with two off days around this series, feels like Vogt gave up way too early with Heuer instead of Gaddis.

[u/clownpainusdotfort]

Manzardo and Stu can split the Uber fare down 71

[u/Crabby_Rangooner123]

Hope Chicago enjoys first place because we aren't holding it for much longer. We don't deserve it anyway...

[u/Bigcouchpotato1]

Jose should not have disputed that called strike. It wasn't close to being a ball. Used up our challenges, which could have been used by Hedges later.

[u/cookestudios]

Seriously, who enjoys being blasted by four seconds of a random song after every single pitch? What's the point of it?

[u/kajkajete]

Jose gave them 3 runs with that BS challenge. Unbelievable.

[u/ImGettinThatFoSho]

Vogt once again getting cute with his dumbass decisions. He probably wanted to give Stu a chance with the bases loaded because "this guy has worked his tail off"

Now his strikeout and wasted challenge have cost us.

[u/heylookjorge]

Maybe after yesterday's fiasco we'll get an outlier where the guys score a ton for Bibee

[u/divineravnos]

Hopefully we got all our defensive miscues out of our system yesterday.

first game this season! taking my dad as an early Father’s Day present 🩵

Bibee is absolute garbage man

[u/Corndog_Popsicle]

“But Tanner has been good”

[u/CornerShark]

Well. Turning this off. Don’t need to watch Bibee shat the bed once again.

[u/skorked]

Bibee is cooked. His stuff looks horrible

[u/ImGettinThatFoSho]

Man Bibee is really gonna go the route of McKenzie isn't he. Such good potential but the career fades out.

[u/s6mwardle]

Didn’t implode completely, progress. (Positives only please)

[u/cryptictro]

🍟!

Situation always finds the person least-prepared to execute. Fairchild was completely overmatched…had no chance against Suarez.

[u/Cupcake_and_Candybar → u/davelb87]

Thank god for Hedgie

[u/Any_Salamander9958]

I have seen enough of Fairchild holy crap. His swing is beautiful but it is just flailing up there

[u/bensto23]

Have we seen Fairchild make contact yet?

[u/queso_del_diablo]

Hedges!!!

[u/Behimothgames]

Unstoppable Hog

[u/Cupcake_and_Candybar]

Give Hedges a lifetime extension with the Guards.

[u/cbusguy28]

Oh lord I think I’d rather see Nolan jones over Fairchild. How many strikes did he even swing at?

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

I can’t get mad at Rocc coming back down to earth.

[u/arelleaytch]

So Fairchild has a lifetime BA of .222, is already 30 years old, and has struck out every time up with he Guards. What exactly does he bring to the club?

[u/klein_four_group → u/arelleaytch]

a warm righthanded body

[u/Corndog_Popsicle]

Well, I clearly see why Fairchild was on a minor league deal

[u/cbucheli]

Live shot of Fairchild at the plate.

I'm realizing that I've been watching baseball for 40+ years and don't completely understand the fair/foul rule. So the ball just has to be fair when it passes 1st or 3rd base? I swear I've seen balls hit to the outfield that are clearly fair when they pass the base but then bend just foul in the outfield. Is there some nuance I'm missing?

[u/CMHguy50]

Ump's got a wide strike zone

[u/MosquitoValentine_]

All that because of a bullshit foul ball.

[u/Joey_Gallos_Burner]

Bibee made big pitches and got fucked.

[u/arelleaytch]

Well that works

[u/clownpainusdotfort]

Lmfao they got Cyclops from XMen in LF
