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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Guardians: Let’s talk about it.
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 […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Guardians: Let’s talk about it.
Thursday was a lighter day on the Major League schedule, though the Yankees still had time to squeeze in a tough loss. The Bombers mustered just three hits at the plate and spoiled a solid Carlos Rodón start in their 2-0 loss at the hands of the Blue Jays. The loss locked in a split […]
It is a tough time to be a Detroit Tigers fan after watching their beloved team get swept at home by the Cleveland Guardians this week in four games. The Motor City Kitties have now lost six straight, nine of the last 10, and 14 of the last 16 — that last stat is just […]
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 fourth game of the Tigers’ miserable series against the Guardians kicked off this afternoon and the best thing I can say about this series is that it’s almost over. The other positive was that Casey Mize was on the mound for the Tigers, up against Joey Cantillo for the Guardians. The Tigers learned a […]

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 […]
Another day, another loss for the Detroit Tigers, who once again failed to score in sufficient quantities en route to a 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians in extra innings on Tuesday night. AJ Hinch got a great performance out of Drew Anderson, and while the bullpen ultimately gave up the lead and the game, […]
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 […]

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 […]
The Tigers went into their second of four games against the Cleveland Guardians tonight, hoping to split the series early and end their growing losing streak. They had Keider Montero on the mound, up against Parker Messick for the Guardians. After a rough series opener on Monday, Detroit definitely wanted to turn things around for […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
The Chris Paddack era begins tonight in Cleveland for the Cincinnati Reds at 6:10 PM ET. Here’s how both clubs will line up to start. Today’s Lineups REDS GUARDIANS Dane Myers – CF Daniel Schneemann – CF Elly De La Cruz – SS Jose Ramirez – 3B Sal Stewart – 1B Chase DeLauter – DH […]
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? […]
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 […]
