Latest news and updates about the Guardians
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 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 […]
After his inside the park homer and a blistering offensive week overall, Bobby Witt Jr was named the AL Player of the Week. Witt collected 11 hits during the week, which included a four-hit performance against the Guardians on Thursday. It was one of three multi-hit games last week for Witt, who raised his batting […]
The Twins had a 3-3 week, dropping two to the Nats, taking two from the Guardians, and currently sit last in the AL Central with an 18-23 record. First, the good news: after a slow start to the season, Byron Buxton is back to being a menace at the plate. Since April 13, Buxton has […]
Before any game action today, a quick shoutout to all the Moms out there this 2026 Mother’s Day! I just returned from a trip with my mom to see the Twins in Washington, D.C.! I calculated that she has now seen 10 baseball stadiums (one I’ll never get to—Metropolitan Stadium). It probably helps to have […]

The Twins had two hits in eleven innings and won a baseball game at Progressive Field. Sure, man. Good team or no good team, the Buck Truck keeps rolling, as evidenced by Byron’s leadoff blast to left field in a rain-delayed Saturday night game against the Cleveland Guardians. Buxton’s bomb, his 13th of the year, […]
The San Francisco Giants Opening Day battery for the last three seasons is as gone as gone can be. Hours after announcing the shocking trade of Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians, the Giants placed the star of their rotation, two-time All-Star Logan Webb, on the 15-Day Injured List. Webb, who has led the National […]

The San Francisco Giants have decided to part ways with their one-sided catcher Patrick Bailey. The two-time Gold Glove winning catcher will be shipped to the Guardians for left-handed pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson (who’s nickname is reportedly “Tugboat”) and the 29th overall pick in the 2026 draft. If Wilkinson is a tugboat, then Bailey has […]
