    Friday and Saturday night's games are both sell-outs.  ..... NICE !    FILL UP those stands.   😁

    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. ?

    Game 1 is on, and Curry walked first batter,  and GETS THE DP ball !   Ok nice.  And a 4-0 walk to the next guy.  UH-OH two on .... a run on a balk .... are you kidding me ?  Then a deep out.   PHI 1   CLE -  coming up in the 1st.     Geeeez, the walk scores on a balk.

    CLE 1    PHI 1   A lead off  HR (4)  for Kwan !    What a start to this game.

    CLE 2   PHI 1  bottom 2nd,  Gimenez solo HR (9) !

    PHI 4   CLE 3  bottom 6 coming up.  Jose .

    4-4 going to 10.  The BP is burned out this game.  BUT. What a bottom of the 9th 2 out magic HR !   WHEW !

    x/10  PHI  8 9 1   WP  Kimbrell  (6-1) 3.29  ERA   SV Marte 2  5.33  ERA    --◇--   CLE  5 9 1   LP  Herrin  (1-1 )  5.55  ERA

  • ~  A look ahead after this so far successful and still    very important    Philadelphia Phillies  series  to  (3)  games  at home verses  KC.

    GAME  100  -  61.3% done  -  Game 1 of 3   KC  vs  CLE  at 7:10 pm.   First  Yarbrough  vs  Allen  ..... more young Guardians looking good !

    GAME  101  -  61.7% done. -  Game  2 of 3. KC  vs  CLE. at 7:10 pm.   Then   Grienke   vs   Civale  ...... an old( er) pitcher looking good. 

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

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

    Game 1/4     CLE at WSX  -  Time to get serious with only about 35% of the 2023 season left.  GO GUARDIANS  !

    CLE  4   CSX 0  top 3,  good start CLE 4 runs 7 hits and still hitting  !  Had men on but couldn't score more,  hmmm.

    CLE  4   CSX  3,  bottom 6,  and a big K by Bibee on to top 7.

  • Looks like Gabriel Arias will get the first shot at nabbing the shortstop position.

    Andres Gimenez is a lock at second with his $105 mill contract (or short if they move him over to his regular position), need to figure out who is the other guy up the middle... Arias? Freeman? Rocchio at AAA? 

    Might see some trades this offseason to thin out the glut of young middle infielders.

  • ~   Friday Night Baseball on the South Side of Chicago  !

    GAME  104  Game 2/4  CLE (51-51)  at  CSX   at 7:10 pm.  Pitchers    Curry   vs  Toussaint ......   PLAY BALL  !    ⚾

    CLE  at   CSX  in 25 minutes  -  Looks like a radio game for me tonight,   WKBN  570.  (might be on ESPN but not  any of my ESPN channels).

    CSX  1   CLE 0,  top 2,  CSX a HR in the bottom of 1st.   Maybe see you later  .......

    CSX 5   CLE 0,  top 7.  A CSX 2R HR,  It's hit soon or go home Sunday afternoon. 

  • Trade Deadline is Tuesday, 6pm. 

    I keep seeing Aaron Civale trade rumors. 

    On one hand, that makes little sense. The Guardians hold control of him for two more seasons. On the other hand, the team should go in to Opening Day next season with Bieber, McKenzie, Quantrill, Allen, Williams and Bibee still. Six starters for five spots. 

    And Civale, who has not been the most durable of pitchers, probably won't have a higher trade value than he has right meow. He's been really good since coming back from his early season injury.

    The Guardians have yet again  got a decent group of good starters and  a decent group of middle/long relief pitchers with setup pitchers  - and - a 100 mph closer who can spot his pitches.    Isn't that the formula for a winning baseball team  ?     SO with Civale and his durability issues coupled with the best farm system in MLB make this a done deal.   Oh yes what can they get in return  ?

    Primary need :   run production.     Almost sounds too easy, so what is (who is)   left out there  ?
