    ~  AND  to continue tonight  in     - GAME  95 -    and  an important  Game  2 of 3 against  home team  PITTSBURGH   to go up  2-0 and a shot at  a 3-0  sweep  in a.                 .....WEDNESDAY    12:35  pm   " getaway day game "   

    ~  GAME  95  -  Game 2 of 3  tonight  I wrote up a really good preview on tonight's game   -and-  a really great analysis on tonight's starter Logan Allen.   It was also fantastic job !   BUT as you can see   *poof*  not there ..... I made a rookie writers' mistake   I DIDN'T SAVE MY WORK .....  I got real busy tonight  and   *poof*   gone.

    I could say that I had a    5 hour rough doctor's appointment    which was   TRUE   BTW  (I had some old suchures removed and some new ones reimplanted .... hey you asked,  lol)   we did it in his office instead of going into the hospital to have it done.   

    SO  bottom line   it was   a rookie mistake and I won't do it again  ...... I hope.

    ●-->   Oh it was a great game tonight  ●--> ★ CLE  10  13 0  - WP  Logan Allen  (4-2)  3.21  ERA   --◇--  PIT   1 5 1  LP  M. Keiler  (9-5)  

    ●--->  AND  see you tomorrow  afternoon      at 12:35 EDST    for the exciting   GAME 3  try for the sweep !     😁.    AND REMEMBER TO BACK UP OR SAVE YOUR  DAMN  DATA !           

              ●----->     NOW  PLAY BALL  at   12:35  pm  !        ⚾

  • GAME  96 -  Game  3 of 3  CLE versus PIT.  Starting pitchers  - Civale  vs  Hill   .......   "for the sweep against  Pittsburgh "      GO GUARDIANS  !

    [ NEWS FLASH :  WE INTERRUPT THIS GUARDIANS   'WET DREAM'   FOR THIS NEWS FLASH FROM NY, NY.... where else right.   😆  yeah NY. ]

    PITTSBURGH -- For a few moments, the Pirates and Guardians’ collective fates were out of either of their hands. Rather, their destinies would be decided by a select group of people in New York. The powers that be inside of Major League Baseball’s Replay Operations Center would have to determine if Bryan Reynolds just hit into an inning-ending, bases-loaded double play, as the call was originally made, or if Reynolds actually had actually beaten out the throw to first.

    Following several agonizing long minutes, crew chief Adrian Johnson made the announcement: the call was overturned, Reynolds was safe and a run scored. It was a decision that set the tone for a five-run seventh inning and, in time, a 7-5 win over the Guardians, a victory that snapped a five-game losing streak and provided the Pirates with some much-needed life.

    “It was a much-needed win for us today,” said Ji Man Choi through team interpreter Daniel Park. “The last couple days have been tough for us. We really needed this win to get the momentum going for us again.”

    ●~~~~~~~~~~>     ⚾     <~~~~~~~~~~~●

    [ OK GUARDIANS FANS , back to your  .500+ dreams.   After all you're almost there ..... again.   😆     ]

  • I was listening to the local sports show, and someone on there threw out an interesting idea....

    With the DH universal, and balanced schedules, could you see a massive change to MLB? Where the National/American Leagues are pretty much scrapped or in name only, and the divisions are re-organized by geography.... so hypothetically, the Guardians could be in a division with Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, etc... 

    I kind of dig the idea of the Guardians competing with the Pirates and Reds yearly for playoff spots. How strong is the Guardians rivalry with the Twins or Royals, really? But with Pittsburgh and Cincinnati? BRING. IT. ON. 

    You'd also have the Mets and Yankees fighting it out...

    Those young 2022 Guardians have to learn how to defend their 2022 crown  ...... even though they are still the youngest team out there.  Pirates included.

    CLE 5    KC  1   top 8,   and apparently the Guardians are in control of something. 

  • With injuries to our top 3 pitchers and an offense that is middle of the roadish, I think we are destined for a .500 season.  They still will provide entertainment and could even provide a surprise.

    As previously mentioned, I really think they need to trade Amed.  I don't see them paying another IF big money so go get a AAA talent that can make the 40 man roster and contribute next year.

  • ~   The Wednesday afternoon rubber match for the series win    at 1:10 pm   like I will miss the beginning  ......  I have a   1:15 pm   doctor's appointment,   my  5th in two weeks  and then a break.

    GAME  102  -  63.0% done  -  Game  3 of 3  KC  vs  CLE  at  1:10 pm.   Pitchers  -  Marsh   vs  Williams  ...... a young gun stepping up for the series win. 

    CLE  8 9 0   WP  Sandlin  (5-3)  3.53  ERA     --◆--      KC  3 12 0   LP   Marsh  (0-5)  7.04  ERA.    3 runs  12 hits ?  Really  ?
