I've been saying that if it wasnt for Soto and Stanton going super-saiyan - CLE would've made the WS in 2024

They're constantly underrated every year

You can always count on them for elite pitching, great defense and an annoying ass slap hitting offense

People thought this series was sweet but the Rays are running into a team that has been playing "Rays ball" for more than a decade now

Poor choice to pinch hit there; defensive downgrade for a guy in a massive slump.

Why the hell do you pitch to Jose Ramirez with first base open? I guess I’m old-school, you walk that guy every time.

Sports broadcasting production is at an all time low

How the fuck does the camera cut to the dugout in the middle of an obvious play at first base

It’s not just TNT or Fox because I’ve been bitching about this for 5.5 months on the Phillies sub. These games are operated by people who don’t know why or when to follow the goddamn baseball and when that baseball is still live

It’s fuckin sad and it’s gonna keep happening

That's how trying to cheat more outs from your starter in the playoffs bites you in the ass. The Guardians were not struggling to hit him today; they were struggling to cash in.
