Latest news and updates about the Guardians
Over the past several seasons, the Athletics have had trouble defeating the Cleveland Guardians, a pattern that has continued this weekend. After losing the first two games of the series, the A’s must win today to prevent a Guardians’ sweep. The A’s fell apart last May, suffering a long losing streak that doomed any hopes […]
Another tough day at the ballpark. The A’s dropped the second game of their weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday afternoon, falling 14-6 and setting themselves up for a possible home sweep tomorrow in the finale. Gotta brush these past two off and take tomorrow’s contest. A’s take quick lead The A’s offense […]
Last night wasn’t fun, but the Athletics have a chance to flip the script this afternoon in Game 2 of this weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians. The A’s are still in first place even after last night’s loss but we got the Mariners hot on our heels so let’s keep them at bay with […]
May has officially begun, and the A’s begin the month with a series-opening loss to the Cleveland Guardians, falling to their AL Central foes in a high-scoring 8-5 contest. The starting pitching wasn’t great, the bullpen allowed three runners to cross home plate, and while the offense provided five runs they left 10 on base […]
Happy Friday, everyone! The Tigers eked out a win against the best team in baseball yesterday afternoon. With Cleveland off on Thursday, this meant that the Tigers were able to get back to a .500 win percentage and also tie the Guardians for first in the AL Central. The team now heads home to hopefully […]
The Rays were looking to extend their winning run against AL teams but completing a sweep of the Guardians, but to get there, they’d need to battle it out with Mother Nature first. Those with no domes must suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous meteorological fortune, in this case being a typical Ohio rain […]
Happy Wednesday A’s fans! This week is the Athletics second weeklong home stand of the season. Tonight, the team will play its second of three games against the Kansas City Royals. This weekend, Stephen Vogt’s Cleveland Guardians come to California’s capital for a three-game series. The A’s need to do better this week after dropping […]
The story before the game was Cleveland top prospect Travis Bazzana was recalled to help kickstart a struggling Guardians offense which had posted a 95 wRc+ over the past two weeks. While Bazzana did his part to help matters drawing two walks, Nick Martinez and comapny caused trouble and bothered everybody in the Cleveland lineup […]
The Rays won a well-pitched, sharp defense nail biter tonight in Cleveland, with Steven Matz (seven innings pitched) and Ryan Vilade (three hits, two RBI) leading the way. If you like quick moving pitching duels, then the first four and a half innings of this game would be your idea of a good time. The […]
Guardians 2 Blue Jays 4 It didn’t come particularly easily but the Jays win their second in a row. We only had 6 hits on the day, but they were grouped nicely. We scored: Sánchez had a big day with three of our four RBI. And Vlad had a good day, 3 for 4, with […]
Game two of this series. Another win would be nice. And it would also be nice if Yohendrick Pinango does so well that the Jays can’t bring themselves to send him back to the minors. The lineup is interesting. Today’s Lineups GUARDIANS BLUE JAYS Steven Kwan – CF Ernie Clement – SS Angel Martinez – […]
On April 8, Cole Ragans took the mound in a rubber match against the Cleveland Guardians. Steven Kwan led off and struck out looking on five pitches, including three dotted on the outer edge by Ragans. Angel Martinez struck out looking on four pitches. You could feel it. Cole had everything working for him, and […]
Guardians 3 Blue Jays 5 It seemed like the Kazuma Okamoto show. He was 2 for 3 with a homer, walk, 2 RBI and a number of nice plays at third. The home run, like yesterday’s was crushed to dead center, 425 feet, 108.9 mph. Just a terrific day for him. But Kevin Gausman was […]
So there was a bit of Jays news today, check out the posts, but the short of it: I feel bad for Lukes, battling through vertigo, finally starting to hit the way we’d expect and then this. That’s the thing about the game, we don’t know what the players are going through at anytime. Sometimes […]
Guardians 8 Blue Jays 6 I really hated them signing Max Scherzer again this season (even if it was cute that his daughter wrote to the Jays to plea for them to sign him). I didn’t think Scherzer had much left last year, I couldn’t imagine he’d be any better this year. So far, I’m […]

The Orioles dropped the finale of their four-game series to the Guardians, 8-4, as their offense underachieved again, their defense continued to stink, and their erstwhile ace coughed up six runs and suffered a noticeable velocity dip in his second straight ugly outing. Other than that, though, it was a great afternoon of baseball. The […]
The Orioles’ first four-game series of the season has not quite gone according to plan. An impressive eighth-inning comeback on Friday aside, the Birds’ bats have mostly been missing in action during their trip to Cleveland. The O’s have had no answer for Guardians starting pitchers. Rookie Parker Messick carried a no-hitter into the ninth […]

The current MLB strikeout leader continued a fabulous streak where he’s allowed […]
So… that was fun! The Orioles got shut out for seven innings, gave up a grand slam, and still won. The bottom of the lineup was pivotal in that monster eighth inning: Leody Taveras had a big walk in a key situation, outfielder Weston Wilson doubled with the bases lodaed, and Jeremiah Jackson hit the […]
