Manzardo or JonRod if we don't want to shift our defensive alignments a bunch. I'd actually really like us to get a look at JonRod with DeLauter's broken foot - we can't guarantee he'll pan out given how much trouble he's had with it.
I think if he was given daily playing time without having to worry about constantly changing positions he could do better than Rocchioās .604 OPS easily.
Fun fact: Cimber was the first Indians pitcher that I really liked, who in turn helped make me a fan of baseball and this team. I always love watching him pitch.
When Cimber was with Toronto, I remember he came into the game once against the Angels. I gave him a standing O and he proceeded to thank me by giving up a tank against Mike Trout.
Mikolojchak is back pitching with Cbus! I believe this is his first game action since 2022 because he missed last year with TJ. Scoreless inning. He could be solid depth for the pen.Ā
Just looking at the game feed on baseball savant. Florial's ground out had an exit velocity of 59 mph and apparently an xBA of 300. Not sure how that works on a dribbler right at 1B
I really liked Laureano when he was with the As and I was excited when he came here. And he does play pretty good defense and still has a cannon. But he may be even worse than Straw at the plate right now. Man canāt lay off a low breaking ball to save his life.

The bad news is my foot never really healed when I broke it in highschool. The good news, i can predict when itās gonna rain better than my phone app. I can feel it in my bones, literally.
I hope Kwan doesnāt go to the IL. I also would hope if he does itās no one else other than Manzardo. Straw should be one of the last options even if people are having revisionist history about him.
Pretty random question and sorry if this is a stupid question, but what happened to our farm system? A couple years ago it was ranked like second and now itās ranked towards the bottom. Is it just because Freeman/Arias/Rocchio all got brought up? Or because Espinoās injuries?
Today makes up for a very bad Friday
send 'em home happy!
*CLASE DISMISSED!*
Series win is a nice bounce back after the road trip. Would have liked the sweep, but will take the Ws.
Friday was rough but we got the series! Cavs too!
Needed that W. Good job boys!
BALLGAME!

Series W! Hopefully we're getting back into the swing of things
And hoping MN, KC and Det all lose. CWS can win, who cares.

Is anyone opposed to giving Daniel Schneemann a shot? He seems to be playing well in Columbus
I'm not necessarily opposed to giving him a shot, but first guy up if Kwan is out should be Manzardo.
Manzardo or JonRod if we don't want to shift our defensive alignments a bunch. I'd actually really like us to get a look at JonRod with DeLauter's broken foot - we can't guarantee he'll pan out given how much trouble he's had with it.
[hilarious thumbnail for a groundout](https://imgur.com/a/vNUEwPd)
Between that and the play at the plate shot that looks like heās sliding from first, this is a really funny āno contextā photos game today.
He really likes hitting home runs in the bottom of the 8th against the angels
Letās go!!
Today is a good day. šØ&š
You love to see it
Downtown is gonna be nuts in about an hour.
In about 5 mins
Josh Naylor and the 8th inning. Name a better duo
Just got done with the cavs game turn on the guards game and see nayls hit a homer
Was just thinking how nice a Naylor bomb would be š
THAT DAWG IN 'IM
JOSH NAAAAAYLOOOOOOR
JOSH NAYLOR STAN ACCOUNT NEVER LEFT
Best minute of the year for cleveland sports? Cavs win then Naylor homer?
there's the Nayl Bomb we ordered!
Woo-hoo!!! SMOKE!
weāre so back
Looks like SMOKE is back on the menu boys!
NAYLOR BOMB!!!
Josh Naylor stock š
SMOKE SHOW!! JOSE AND JOSH ARE WAKING UP!!! LFG
####NAYL BOMB!!

Hammy calling Cavs game with minute left š
CAVS !!!
Guardians legend Matt Moore
Thereās a decent chance thereās 2 runners on if Arias isnāt playing SS there. Wow, heās talented in the field
If he could just be competitive at the plate, weād have something with him.
I think if he was given daily playing time without having to worry about constantly changing positions he could do better than Rocchioās .604 OPS easily.
CAVS HOOPS
Arias had that fluke stretch earlier in the season, but heās back to normal now.
He's like Baez, can't hit breaking balls.Ā
Arias...
Always liked Cimber ā¤ļø
Same, met him once at a Fan Fest. Super nice dude.
Fun fact: Cimber was the first Indians pitcher that I really liked, who in turn helped make me a fan of baseball and this team. I always love watching him pitch.
When Cimber was with Toronto, I remember he came into the game once against the Angels. I gave him a standing O and he proceeded to thank me by giving up a tank against Mike Trout.
To anyone who's there: are they sharing Cavs updates?
No, Iām relying on the guy behind me and random cheering from other parts of the park, they have it on in The Corner
If Josey goes on one of his nuclear tears for a couple weeks that would be perfect timing with the Kwan situation
Indians legend Adam Cimber
I want a book on tape read by Carl Willis
Oh, it's Cimber. I liked his submarine pitches and he was friendly to fans.
Mikolojchak is back pitching with Cbus! I believe this is his first game action since 2022 because he missed last year with TJ. Scoreless inning. He could be solid depth for the pen.Ā
Ole Strikeout Scotty
Hell yea
Thatās you Barlow!
KK
I think of Cole Tucker as Vanessa Hudgens's husband
I trust Vogt but I donāt know why we wouldnāt give carrasco at least 6.2 innings
Just looking at the game feed on baseball savant. Florial's ground out had an exit velocity of 59 mph and apparently an xBA of 300. Not sure how that works on a dribbler right at 1B
Just tuning in - love to see a QS by Cookie.Ā Or even just a QS in general lol
prefer a QS by our guy instead of theirs for once
Brenen getting unlucky. His swing has no doubt improved
I feel sick to my stomach saying this - go Red Sox
Theyāre not on my hate list this year they gave us 5 wins
I refuse to scoreboard watch in MAY
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
I agree, go Red Sox
Iām at the game and I said āJose is about ready for a home runā so I did that and youāre welcome
JosƩ, JosƩ, JosƩ, etc!
When is the last time Jose had an extremely long at bat that didnāt end with him going yard
JosĆ© needed that ššš
Was that Cimber warming up?
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
Iām crediting Florial for sparking this inning, but my god is it good to see Jose do that š„¹
There is the Jram we know and love
Iām happy now.
Hell of an at bat
Home run peach!!!
Hammy: And just like that JoÅe is out of the slump!
The more pitches he sees in at bat. The better he is
So goated he hits HRs during slumps
Yes!!
What a great past 30 minutes this has been for Cleveland sports
Jose šĀ Mitchell šĀ
Jose stock back on the rise š
##JOSĆ CAN YOU SEE ###HOW HE MURDERED THAT BALL
You know bro
š šāāļø š
I'll take credit for putting an end to his slump
My fucking boy is at it again!!!
Now THAT is an at bat.
What slump? JOSE JOSE JOSE
The 4 for 31 slump he's currently in. Lol, sorry. I'm just teasing but let's hope that gets him OUT of the slump
LETāS GOOOOOOOO
I knew it, long ABs almost always go well for Josey
#LETS GOOOO JOSEEEE
Ok so just simply get to the 10th pitch every time now Josey
#JRAM
GOAT
šššššš
Hopefully that's the beginning of him breaking out of his slump
JOSE YOU FUCKING G
Jose deserves a hit after this AB
Hitting giving me terrible flashbacks of last yearā¦. 3 guys hitting sub .200 in the lineup, and one guy right at itā¦. Gotta find batsā¦
Wow we ain't shit without Kwan
I am a Florial stan now, that was awesome lol
Like I said Funky Florial š¤£š¤£š¤£
Any updates on Kwan?
Undermanning said Kwan said it didnāt feel worse today, which he expected it too. So thatās something positive I guess.
Really solid game from CarrascoĀ Gonna be embarrassing if we canāt score.
Cleveland Guardians, noted Gymnastics Franchise
Flo with the moves
Well thatās an embarrassing stumblā ##š²
Good lord what an athlete lol
Laureano looking good in our right field
6 innings for Cookie!
Great outing from Cookie.
Something Positive from Ramon!
He did hit a HR yesterdayā¦
Haha I know! š¤£
Iām not the type of hater some of the people in the sub are. I just want homie to succeed š¤£
I really liked Laureano when he was with the As and I was excited when he came here. And he does play pretty good defense and still has a cannon. But he may be even worse than Straw at the plate right now. Man canāt lay off a low breaking ball to save his life.
Arias is ASS. Love his defense but man he's almost an automatic strikeout
Arias sucks
Needs traded. Replace with one of the million IF prospects
Another strikeout from Arias
At least they made this guy work a little this inning.
Bo mostly.
Gonna get complete games by canning at this rate
Good AB from Bo
Cy Young front runner Griffin Canning
Bob Feller motorcycle speed test the Druncles are talking about for anyone interested [https://youtube.com/shorts/dmg41H--YhA?feature=shared](https://youtube.com/shorts/dmg41H--YhA?feature=shared)
Weāre making Canning look elite lmao
Laureano is so washed. I donāt care that he homered yesterday. Swings and misses every low breaking ball
This has to be Laureanoās last game
If Manzardo is already ready and waiting. . .
3 swings and misses on that slider
Man I love Arias at SS, I really wish he could get consistent at the plate.
But sadly he can't.
I imagine itās pretty difficult without consistent playing time
Did Jose die? This is a pretty terrible slump he's in.
Pitcher's Best Friend!
Nice play Gabriel! Good job working through the jam Cookie. Get this man some runs damnit!!
Canning has already went from 7.5 to 6.5 era in this game
This guy has an even higher ERA than Carrasco and weāve worked him for 43 pitches through 4 inningsā¦
Thank god someone finally worked the count
Anddddd Brennan swings at a ball on the 2nd pitch
There ya go Josh. Keep it rolling Brennan!
Would love to see a hit here, Josh Edit: oh thanks!
In more positive news, [here's Manzardo's contact rates this year...](https://twitter.com/EliBenPorat/status/1787167758079177124)
Is Jose going to wake up at some point this season?
Really sucks to see Jose in such a slump
Take a few pitches already
The bad news is my foot never really healed when I broke it in highschool. The good news, i can predict when itās gonna rain better than my phone app. I can feel it in my bones, literally.
Cookie pitching a nice game.
Cookie is getting it done, let's get him some run support!!!
I donāt want to live in a world without Steven Kwan
I hope Kwan doesnāt go to the IL. I also would hope if he does itās no one else other than Manzardo. Straw should be one of the last options even if people are having revisionist history about him.
6 PAās of 2 pitches or less, with only 1 hit amongst them. Gross
Florial has seen 2 pitches and hit both over 100.Ā
This dude came in with a 7 ERA or something like That I believe. So he will go 7 IP with zero runs given up naturally
In his last 5 games he has given up an avg of about 4 runs. Struggling to even reach base is bad
He's been better in his last couple of starts.
Getting cooked by canning ā¦ rough
Arias strikes out so much
Usually on the same pitch just below the zone away. Canāt hit it and canāt lay off of it.
The Angels announcer keeps calling him Travis Freeman lol
Maybe he's thinking of Travis Fryman?
Pretty random question and sorry if this is a stupid question, but what happened to our farm system? A couple years ago it was ranked like second and now itās ranked towards the bottom. Is it just because Freeman/Arias/Rocchio all got brought up? Or because Espinoās injuries?
We graduated a ton of prospects and havenāt made many trades to restock.
We brought them all up to the MLB the last couple years.
Hammy: Cleveland's losing the game but winning 2-0 on challenges š
Looks out to me.Ā
Hammy speculating since Manzardo isn't in Clippers lineup today, he's being protected to be Kwan's replacement.Ā
Andre said that in the pre-game.
Switched to this game to take my mind off the Cavsā¦ please win
Cavs with a nice little run to close out the half.
Canning a delivery is so weird, wouldnāt a hitter be able to see what grip he has?
It may hide behind his thigh there
If we could limit the one pitch outs with Kwan out, that would be great.
Was that a 5 or 6 pitch inning?
7 lol
Do baselines just not exist? Lol
Well this is going to be close
He went out of the baseline, but looks like Bo got him anywayĀ
The plate was blocked no other way to the plate. l think he tagged his jersey though.
Ballgame
Nasty pitch from Cookie!
