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

Great win!

I have watched Hammy’s call of Oscar pimping that home run at least 20 times. Awesome. 

GO TRIBE !!!!

I am not sure I'm gonna make it noon before the first sip of alcohol is consumed. 

1st inning, Kwan draws a walk, Rosario k's, Jose hits a homer ..................and that's how it ends, 2-0, Tribe.     :)

Somehow Kwan hit a homer. But shiiiit left some runs out there. Good thing is Cole is already at 60 pitches in the 3rd

Oscar has had a bad game, and at this moment probably the reason we lose tonight. Fitting after his HR to end the TB series lol

Ouch Rizzo

Gross. 

I oddly feel better about the series after tonight. Win the Bieber start and we are right where you’d like to be.

Guards had a ton of hard hit outs. Kwan looks very locked in, and so does Jose. Get Rosario back on track and they can do some damage. 

Naylor and Gonzalez way too aggressive, which is their M.O. and whatever, but hurt us tonight. 

But we can play with these guys. Just need a few more clutch hits.

Two things from last night that stuck out to me, that won't beat the Yankees:

1. Top 3rd,  bases loaded, 1 out and get no runs. Need something there. Kwan homered earlier that inning and I think just pushing one more run across would've really swung the momentum. 

2. Top 8th, Ramirez leads off with single. Chance to get something going. Naylor hits a hard ball right at Rizzo down 1B line. Easy DP. That kind of ended it there. I think if Ramirez scores that inning, there's a chance for magic in the 9th because top of the order would've been due back up for the Guards.

Oh well, baseball is a funny game. They had Cole going and "should've" won anyway. Bieber in game 2, I like our chances. And then McKenzie back for game 3 in CLE.

Rosario and Gonzalez are beneficial to the team because they are aggressive hitters. But Oscar swinging first pitch there REALLY let Cole off the hook after Rosarios smart baserunning loaded the bases. Have to take a pitch in that scenario as his pitch count was climbing, we had the momentum, and their bullpen is depleted.

Go Tribe!

Go Tribe! 

Yes sir!  We need Bieber’s best again today.

Can we score 3 runs? Probably not. So 0-2 incoming.

Judge with 4 K's; hope he doesn't come to the plate again; we need to end it in regulation.  

Too many fastballs from Karinchak today.

lucky to get out of that mess

Shaping up to end badly…
