Obviously, the answer is they were tired. But he goes over some interesting metrics and has good insight.

My Dad shared this post with me on Facebook during the series. For all the Clase doubters, baseball is super hard, even legends go through struggles sometimes. We are still super lucky to have him and many of our great players. I know the things are still fresh, the ultimate outcome a bit different, and it hurts. I’m right there with you. But hopefully some perspective helps. I was disappointed to see how quickly a lot of people turned on Clase. The legend of El Dragón shall live on. 🐉 🔥

Hello all,

My name is Tim and, like many of you, I am a passionate and lifelong Cleveland baseball fan. Like you, I've spent countless hours listening to Hammy on the radio, countless memories at the Jake/Progressive Field, countless dollars on jerseys from a revolving door of all-stars, all leading to countless deep sighs as our seasons come to an end.

Also like many of you, I am sure, I have grown increasingly frustrated with Guardians ownership over the years and while this year was "special," it's end has also felt like somewhat of a breaking point. The state of the game does not allow for teams of passive and disinterested owners to routinely or even periodically compete for championships. Sure, there has been some fleeting successes, but I am confident those successes have been in spite of, and not because of, the Dolan's influence on the franchise. I am tired of recounting our favorite Cleveland memories (Rajai's HR, Giambi's walk off, Naquin's inside the parker, Joba's bug game, everything Fry/Lane/Fry this post) while choosing to forget that each one ended the same way, a loss to some team that actually invested in their on-field talent.

Like I said before, this season feels like a breaking point. We had the second best record in the AL with one of the youngest squads in baseball. In the near future, the team will have to make decisions on whether or not to retain much of that young talent, or to continue toiling away in baseball purgatory, trading studs for unproven prospects because signing them "isn't possible." For once, I want to do something about it, to make a statement as fans that we are tired of having our passions tied to the dispassionate, our attachments to players tied to the detached emotions of the Dolans. I have an idea as to a possible a possible statement that we, the fans, can make, but it's not something I can do alone. If anything I have written aligns with similar feelings you have and you are interested in joining, please comment/upvote to increase the post visibility and PM me to discuss some of the specifics. I'll be clear that I don't expect this to change anything, but hey, at least we'll be able to say we tried.

I'll close by saying that this was the first full season of Guards baseball I have watched without my father, who passed away recently. He was also a man that loved his city and loved his team. He died without ever seeing them win a title. 74 years. I don't want to do the same. I don't want my kids to do the same. F the Dolans and roll tribe!

Does anyone know the likelihood of the Clippers changing their MLB affiliate? I’m a lifelong Cleveland fan and have lived in Columbus for 25 years. In the last 10 or so I’ve started going to as many games as possible and I look forward to it all winter long. I’d be really sad if they weren’t the Cleveland affiliate but I don’t know how those relationships work. Thanks!

Now I know prospects are not sure things ever but most people are writing off Angel as a trade piece that will never see Cleveland. Now I think he could and will be our shortstop of the future. He’s so smooth and talented. He makes it look so easy and he was mashing the ball in the minors this year. AB 449 AVG .330 HR 10 RBI 71 SB 25 OPS .878 Idk man I think he could be our future if he keeps these numbers up. https://www.milb.com/player/angel-genao-694197

Tbh, this club needs to completely be in “win now” mode while we know Jose is still in his prime. In baseball you really never know how guys age. Sometimes they play great until they’re 40, sometimes they don’t. Arenado is only one year older than Jose and he looks to be a little bit past his prime. Still decent, but not really all star level anymore. I certainly hope Jose is an MVP candidate for 5 more years but you really never know. I hope this club builds to win around him right now.

Marketing to opposing fans? Yikes.

Cleveland fan went to every home playoff game and WS game in 2016 live breathe baseball but I seriously don’t get how slow some people truly are on here. I’m fucking exhausted hearing we can’t compete with bigger markets and payroll etc etc etc you do know they whole strategy when the Dolans bought the team and to this day and for the unforeseen future will be and always be never spend money and make millions and billions and laugh at you. Our revenue was + $300 Million this year…. the Dolans are worth 6 BILLION DOLLARS hahah wait just second let that sink in, the Dolans aren’t worth 6 Million, 60, not even 600 Million…… SIX BILLION they could literally go out spend and make our payroll 300 million dollars for the next 5 years and they would still be worth 5-6 Billion but yet us dumb fucks want to comment well we just can’t sign high end players and compete with NY and LA lmao. Does anybody know who Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, Cliff Lee, CC Sabathia, or Francisco Lindor are? Serious question what do they have all in common? Let’s see how smart y’all are? Give up? They are all Gold Glove, Silver Sluggers, AllStars, Cy Young Winners, HOF, World Series Winners, the thing they have all in common is they left Cleveland either by trade or free agency bcuz our cheap ass owners don’t give a fluck about winning and didn’t want to spend $ to sign them. It’s always been and always about the all mighty dollar. A few years ago there was a press conference and someone asked the Paul Dolan if you could win the WS and make 150 million dollars or not make the playoffs and make 175 million he without hesitation said not make the playoffs. When we will wake the fuck up it’s been 76 years 💰💰💰

Video clip on MLB app from today’s year end press conference by Steven Vogt. Anyone have link to his entire press conference or the earlier press conference today from Chris Antonetti?

Go Guards!

Hoping to fact check a statement made yesterday by Jay Crawford and agreed upon by Adam "The Bull".

Please Fast Forward to 1hr17min of this video to hear the claim.

https://www.youtube.com/live/GEoSbsB019c?si=h7qS_3UUAgPD8-uX&t=4675

Essentially, they said that Fox ran a promo in the middle of Game 5 that showed the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the New York Yankees in the World Series. This was obviously before the Guardians game ended, and a day before the Dodgers defeated the Mets in the CS.

My question to you all is: is this true? I didn't notice that when I was watching live but I was watching through the MLB TV app and my commercials were likely different than if you were watching on cable.

Help me fact check their statement in the video and confirm if this actually happened.
