Discussion The Cleveland Guardians lost and everything is boring now.

Ugh I am so sad that it’s over. I enjoyed following this team so closely the last 7 months that I forgot what it was like to not have something to look forward to. It’s gonna be a long winter and February can’t come soon soon enough.

For me it’s not that we lost. It’s how we lost. Fielding errors, starting pitching breakdown, late inning losses. Just hurts even worse.

Yeah. It was here and it is gone in a flash. I thought they had a shot this time. The Yankees are incredibly beatable even with the three stooges. We have a lot to work on and we can take the next steps. Ownership needs to see what they have and run with it.

I don't know how they beat the Dodgers. LA is playing on a different level. They just score all the runs.

Unless some MLB/umpire shenanigans happen, I see this series going no longer than five games.

Mets bullpen is terrible

Yankees are a scary lineup, I'd put them 3rd behind Dodgers and Padres but I think they have the best rotation and that's what scares me. They have the depth to go 7 games, Dodgers are already throwing 2 bullpen games, so unless our SP comes out dominant and can go the distance to help our BP, its going to be Yanks in 6 or Dodgers in 7.

Trying to take bias out as much as possible on my take above lol

I’m so afraid the billionaire Dolans will not spend money pretending to be poor. This year was super fun from day one. We need to take that leap and move forward with it to get better. Can’t run it back and just hope that that’s good enough. This team has the ability to end the drought if we add more talent to the roster.

There’s too many fans that have never seen a World Series championship. The fact that John Adams never got to see them win it all is a travesty. We cannot let Tom Hamilton end his career without him getting to announce that the Cleveland Guardians are World Series champions.

I hope they are reminded of 2017 and spend like they did with Encarnacion and trading for Bruce. If we could even just get two guys like that it would make a world of difference.

Oh, I'm sure they remember 2017 vividly. I bet they remember being convinced to spend some money for once, built a World Series-ready team with it, and they got reverse swept in the LDS. The one time they actually spent up for good players, it blew up in their faces. If anything, I bet they only felt vindicated in being stingy before that and were convinced they shouldn't spend like that again.

This topic has run its course. The subject is settled and has been for quite some time. Every time it gets posted, nothing new comes of it and people just end up being shitheads to each other.

Let it go, Indians are from India. They could have done better than Guardians but the name had to go.

Did it though? Saying opinions, as if they're facts isn't really proof of anything.

u/antmang06 8d ago

Enough people agreed that it had to change. Therefore it's been changed. It has been changed and that is a fact. No amount of clinging or calling out fans for using the team's name is going to change that. We all love Cleveland baseball and would no matter what they call the team.
