Welp, there went Bradley Zimmer. 

I don't think Zimmer was ever going to be a factor here. But man, he was pretty damn good to end last season the last few months. Would've liked to see him get an extended look to start this year. The exit velocity and launch angle really peaked to an elite level after a minor swing change.

Over/under on 75 wins this year?

How many games are we going to lose bc we only score 0 or 1 runs? Wasting ridiculous pitching for years. 

Yeah……. Pretty exciting. 🙄

A lot.

A lot.

All of them?

Maybe.

1 run in 19 innings certainly supports our suspicions of this offense.

Woah, runs!

10-0 in the 2nd. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Steven Kwan is HOT!

7 for 9 with 3 walks

Finally RUNS!!!

The tribe's averaging 6 runs a game. What is all of this talk about no offense?

Who gets the game ball, Mercado or Kwan?

This is about right. Offense will look middle of the pack because of the 1x a week blowouts while scoring 0-2 runs the other 5 games.

Guardians just announced that the home opener is now sold-out. 29th straight.

Took it way longer than usual though. I absolutely loved opening day in Cleveland when I lived there. Downtown was electric. Worked in the Huntington building and the company would shut down at noon for hot dogs and beer and let everyone go do what they wanted. Lol just had pictures show up on my Amazon Photos timeline of bonging beers out of a plastic flamingo in the parking lot behind right field/ center 9 years ago. 

Guardians win 10-7!!
Off they go to Cincinnati.
