Oh believe me Dutch I have tried, poked, prodded into every corner of these FORUMS, BOXES, TOOLS everything some that I held my breath but. NO ..... I do have limited moderator power here.
I will check with Steve (since he does own and runs the joint) to see if we couldn't do a little LONG OVERDUE freshen up here. He or his tech people did a little bit when he got it from Stan (and Kathy). We'll see what happens.

Josh Bell looking at a Hall of Famer.
Josh Bell looking at a Hall of Famer.
Well THIS is annoying...
In 97 games with the Guardians, he had a .701 OPS and 11 homeruns.
In 11 games with the Marlins, he has an OPS over 1.000 and 4 homers already.
If he had hit anything like he normally has, perhaps they would have been in a better position at the trade deadline and wouldn't have needed to trade him. There's no way I wanted the Guardians to be on the hook for another $16 mill next year, because you have to think after the poor season he had he would have activated the option year.

Fast moving game....
︎~~~~~~~︎
CLE 3 CIN 0 and bottom of the 8th ..... Cleveland pitching holding up nicely. And the final, CLE 3-0.
︎~~~~~> >~~~~~> Game 1 of 4 -W- in the " 2023 OHIO CUP " renewed series.
~ AND ~ If you're interested ...... Both teams' cities are about 250 miles away via I-71. As of the 2022 season, the Guardians are ahead of the Reds by 17 ..... with an all-time rivalry record 71–54.
~ SO ~ it looks like the Stadium Mustard dogs ? ? will reign over the Cincinnati Skyline Chili for some time yet.
Now how about that.
︎ Game 1 Line ︎ --> CLE 3 7 0 WP Allen (6-5) 3.33 ERA SV Clase 32 3.15 -◇- LP Ashcraft (6-8) 4.89 ERA. Another Guardians pitching staff - SHUTOUT - not bad.
