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

Guardians win 2-1 with Trevor Stephan doing his best Joe Borowski impersonation for the save. He walked the bases loaded before getting the final out.

Bob Wickman looking for credit here as well

Good

92-70

Never saw that coming in a million years

With the way the offense started I think I posted "over/under on 70 wins?" in the original thread.

9-2 over the Royals - a fitting end to the regular season. 

Not to get ahead, but if they can win the first 2 vs Rays, would be able to go Cal, McKenzie, Bieber, Cal, McKenzie (short rest). Or swap Bieber and McKenzie vs Yankees.

Regardless of what happens with Game1 vs Tampa, Tribe ought to throw Cal in Game2.

They kind of screw all teams making them throw their 3 or 4, regardless of who wins.

I like it. 1-2 deserve some kind of advantage for kicking ass all year, no?

Cal is 15-0 at Home.

If Tribe wins Game 1, pitch him Game 2. It's the best chance to win that series right then and there.

If Tribe loses Game 1, pitch him Game 2. It's the best chance to win that game and force Game 3.

Pitch him at Home as often as possible. 

GO TRIBE !!!

I can see that if they lose. Not if they win, since all 3 games are at home.

I'm for using every advantage, particularly at home in a short series. 

Anyhow......Go Tribe!

Jose, Jose .........
