Oscar Mercado is Gone (A Story of The 2022 Cleveland Guardians)

Clase is a beast.

I just remembered that it was Mercado's play that triggered Bauer to lose his mind. Oscar!

By golly, I think you’re right!

Clase is a beast.

I think he is the best reliever the Cleveland team has had in my time as a fan. At least this year. Andrew Miller would be a close, close second -- but Clase isnt even close to being touched since that first week of the year, basically. And he has multiple extra innings games where he stranded that runner on 2nd. 

Boston’s uniform change is almost as bad as the Indians becoming the Guardians.

Preach it brudda.

They are awful. Pass given that they are honoring the Boston Marathon bombing victims — those were the colors of the marathon that year. But yeah, bad.

Naylor continues to be clutch. And great to see Straw hitting the last month-ish.

Incredible jinxing power by me. Franmil DFA’d. I cannot believe we kept Ernie on the 40-man over him, despite the horrible season. Has still has gamechanging power and a decent career track record.

Wow!

Ironman was right!

Great job by McKenzie today in a 1-0 win. Eight innings, 8 K’s, 1 BB and another Clase 9th inning door slam. 

Man, they just refuse to go away.

Lol

This thread is great lol

Well, Franmil has been claimed by the Cubs. Good opportunity for him, I don't think that the Cubs have had a steady/everyday DH this year.

That was a bad series vs the Tigers, but came away with a 2-2 split. Lost games to Twins and Sox though. 

At least we have Bieber lined up for the opener vs CHW.

Pretty rare when a team strikes out the side, then proceeds to give up six runs in the same half inning.

With like 1 hard hit ball the whole inning and a 4th K to end it. LOL

Guardians with a 4 game lead on the 25th of August. Wow.

Hope you didn't jinx them      :)
