  • 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.

    Over 108,000 fans for the three game series, the largest three game attendance in fifteen years. 

    Apparently all the people who would never go to another game because they changed the name and dropped the mascot have been replaced. ?

    ●~~~~~~~~>     ⚾     <~~~~~~~~●    It's time to make ground in the   ★ SECOND HALF  ★  race.

    ~  After this homestead it's  (4)  at the CWS  - then-  (3) at HOU   followed by the  ● NEXT OFF DATE  ● on  Thursday August 3rd.   ♥︎  Oh   the   life  of      a  big league  professional baseball  player.      ⚾      And they love it even in the dog days of  HOT  JULY  !

                 ▪︎~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~▪︎      PLAY BALL  !     ▪︎~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~▪︎

  • ~  Up first on Monday night. 

    GAME  100  -  Game 1 of 3   KC (28-73 .277)  vs  CLE  (49-50 .495)  at 7:10 pm.   ●  First  up - Yarbrough  vs  Allen  ..... more young Guardians looking good ! 

    x  KC  5   CLE 3 final.  Cleveland just couldn't get stared tonight.     CLE  (49-51),  again it seems. 

    ~   See you tomorrow    at 7:10 pm   and have a good Monday evening.        😴  😊  ?

  • And on Tuesday Night Baseball tonight. 

    GAME  101  -  61.7% done. -  Game  2 of 3. KC  vs  CLE. at 7:10 pm.   Then   Grienke   vs   Civale  ....  80°  and  70%+  humidity .  Get it on. CLE needs a win, tonight. 

    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  ?

    ~  See you  at the  WSX  next !    Have a nice Wednesday evening.      😁

  • Two homers by Jose, G's breeze to a series win vs the Royals. 

  • Shortstop Amed Rosario has been traded to the Dodgers.

    It will be interesting to see how this shakes up... You have Andres Gimenez, who signed a $105 mill contract playing second, but he's actually a shortstop. Does he slide over to short? Or does he stay at second and one of Arias, Freeman or Brayan Rocchio in AAA become the shortstop of the future?
