Left behind: Guardians 3, Phillies 1

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The Phillies faced a lefthanded starting pitcher and lost the game. On Sunday afternoon, the Phillies faced a solid lefty in the Guardians’ Parker Messick and their season-long struggles against southpaws continued. They mustered just six hits and one run on the day, and as a result, […]

Gamethread 5/24: Phillies vs Guardians

The Phillies and Guardians will wrap up their three game series on Sunday….or at least they will if the rain gives them a window to play. (Considering the Guardians won’t be back to Philadelphia this season, they’ll do their best to fit it in.) The teams split the first two games of the series, each […]

Wheels of perfection: Phillies 3, Guardians 0

On Saturday, news broke of Taijuan Walker signing with the Angels on a minor league deal. I’ve always felt the hate directed at Walker was a bit over the top. Sure, he wasn’t good, but he did have some stretches where he was an effective pitcher for the team. His time here was clearly up […]

One to Nothing: Guardians 1 Phillies 0

The weekend Memorial Day series is going to be filled with weather issues. It’s projected to rain all day tomorrow, which could force a doubleheader for Sunday before they play a day game in San Diego on Monday. They did not get batting practice in today because of rain and showers filled through as Cristopher […]

What a day to not be a Giant

The first headline I saw when I searched up our recently cast-off backstop was for an AP article published by the Watertown Daily News: “Baily, Cantillo lead Guardians to four-game series sweep…”  While I harbor no real ill-will towards Patrick Bailey, I admit I wasn’t pleased about the news.  Petty tribalism inherent in fandom runs […]

The Detroit Tigers season hangs by a thread

So many things have gone wrong with the Detroit Tigers already this season that it’s hard to know where to even start unpacking it all. After a third straight loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, they hold a 20-30 record, 10 games under .500. In all of baseball history, only one team in the […]

Guardians 3, Tigers 2 (F/10): One run is never enough

Hey, we’re back, still playing the Guardians. Let’s just roll right into the recap. The Tigers had a bullpen day going because they have no healthy pitchers left to use, so the starter was Drew Anderson, while the Guardians were leaning on Tanner Bibee. While Bibee hasn’t had a bad season, he also hasn’t recorded […]

Game 50 Preview: Can Tigers break through against Guardians on Wednesday?

The Detroit Tigers lost another close game on Tuesday night, succumbing to the Cleveland Guardians, 4-3, in a matchup that saw the good guys go 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and leaving 10 runners on base. And thus the futility continues… It looks like AJ Hinch is planning for a bullpen day on Wednesday […]

Game 49 Preview: Tigers try to stop the pain on Tuesday vs Guardians

The pain continues for the Detroit Tigers, who opened up their four-game home series with an 8-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians in yet another vulgar display of offensive futility. Framber Valdez did not help the cause, coughing up four runs in five innings, setting up a deficit that could not be overcome. So now […]

Guardians 8, Tigers 2: Silent bats and sluggish defense stymie Tigers

Happy Monday, everyone. The Tigers lost their weekend series against the Jays, but it’s a new week, so perhaps new opportunities lie ahead. The Tigers will start trying that today as they open their four-game home series against the Cleveland Guardians. The Guardians currently hold a tenuous lead in the AL Central, so these next […]

The Cincinnati Reds have the worst pitching in baseball

Another clunker from Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer on Sunday sunk most any chance of taking the series over the Cleveland Guardians. It also sunk the Reds further and further down the statistical leaderboards in most every pitching category, a place they’ve not been for most of the Derek Johnson Era. As of the morning […]

Game 45: Reds at Guardians (6:10 PM ET) – Paddack vs. Cantillo

Reds hang on for 7-6 win over Guardians in Ohio Cup opener

The Cincinnati Reds got another solid start from lefty Andrew Abbott, got a homer from Matt McLain and one more huge performance from JJ Bleday, and managed to hand over a 6-1 lead to the heart of their bullpen on Friday night in the Ohio Cup opener against the Cleveland Guardians. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? […]

Andrew Abbott takes the mound as Reds face Guardians in Ohio Cup

The 2026 Cleveland Guardians are, for the most part, precisely the kind of team the Cleveland Guardians have come to always be. They don’t hit for a ton of power – their 42 homers rank 19th overall, their .136 ISO 22nd. They do, though, walk a lot (11.2%, 4th in the game), and they avoid […]
