One game at a time. I know that's cliche to say but still holds true. I'm not even thinking about the WS just yet. Only up 2-1. Imo, game 4 is pivotal. Guards need to get that one. Then the real pressure is on the Rays.

12

u/CuriousEyes02 Seattle Mariners 1d ago

It's not official yet, but a Brewers vs Guardians World Series sounds really fun! Either Milwaukee wins their first title or Cleveland wins their first since 1948

9

u/ChefCurryGAWD San Francisco Giants 1d ago

While I am glad Brewers beat the Padres and on the way of beating the Dodgers, I still think I want to pull for the Guards if they finish it.

u/BoosherCacow Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

Thank you, we would need all the help we can get. That Brewers team is one hell of a ballclub.

We are going to go up 3-1 and then blow it per tradition

u/XelaKebert Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

You're a shit fan change your flair

u/bakeranders 1d ago

Some people would call them a pessimist but they’ re really a realist. Unless [u/InfiniteJackfruit5](u/InfiniteJackfruit5) is almost 90 years old they have seen The Tribe get to The Series and lose their whole life. The fact that they’re STILL a fan, makes them a good fan

Them behaving like this is a way of psychologically protecting themselves from a devastating loss. They ultimately want the Guardians to win, but believing they’re gonna do it and getting their hopes up only for them to lose is doubly crushing. If they assume the team is going to lose and they’re wrong then their team won and they can celebrate that. If they assume a loss and are correct then they can celebrate themselves being right. They’re just protecting their psyche from a crushing defeat.

u/TTP2521 Philadelphia Phillies 2d ago

Crybaby sore loser shit

-8

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago edited 1d ago

Not really it’s sore winner shit to mock your opponent, even moreso when you haven’t actually won anything of merit. I was laughing at the divisional champ banners Tampa has on display in the Trop lmao.

Vlad last year and Junior this year. Two losers.

Leave it to a Philadelphia fan to have this dumbass take.

“Be a piece of shit. It’s part of sports.”

3

u/Rc5tr0 Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

I didn’t have a problem with your first comment making a joke about Caminero but this comment is crybaby sore loser shit.

1

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

Ok.

2

u/dmen83 1d ago

I took it more as mocking the fans who have proven to act absolutely despicably in the playoffs the last few years.

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

Like every fan base?

u/Squattingwithmylegs Toronto Blue Jays 1d ago

Lol yeah the guy winning his team the pennant as MVP is a loser. 

For years the pennant was what teams played for until people realized they could earn more money.

1

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

Who is the MVP winning the pennant?

2

u/Squattingwithmylegs Toronto Blue Jays 1d ago

Have a good night man

1

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

Exactly. Nobody lol.

Wait you’re really talking about LCS MVPs? Lmao.

2

u/Squattingwithmylegs Toronto Blue Jays 1d ago

Do you know what a pennant is?

1

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

Thought you meant league MVP. Who cares about LCS MVP when you lose the WS.

1

u/Squattingwithmylegs Toronto Blue Jays 1d ago

What a sad way to live. Anyways, Vlad still isn't a loser like you said.

14

u/monkeytsunami Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

yankees fans will never quite understand the true non playful disdain the world has for them

-7

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

And as a grown man I’ll never understand other grown men who do what Junior did. Act like you’ve been there before. Derek Jeter is far better than either Junior or Vlad will ever hope to be and I don’t recall him ever mocking an opponent in the playoffs.

It’s like other teams love to shit on what they’ll never be.

8

u/decodezilla 1d ago

“Act like you’ve been there before” is the most weenie shit imaginable.

New York sports fans love to talk shit and then meltdown if anyone makes fun of them

-1

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

Who melted down? Literally a Phillies fan started crying at the turnabout.

7

u/monkeytsunami Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

we shit on the entitlement and lack of self awareness. all the money in the world and yet no world series in 16 years is pathetic. if we had the budget ya'll had we would win every single year

-1

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

You do realize none of us care about the money insult lol. Telling someone they’re rich and you are broke is never a flex.

You also wouldn’t, and you won’t.

2

u/monkeytsunami Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

and yes we would. we consistently make the playoffs with a 50-100 million budget. our front office works miracles with our broke asses. you guys just buy our best players once they are washed and overpriced

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

When has Cleveland last beaten New York in a playoff series?

Sheesh rooting for the Brewers will be easy.

believe it or not these playoffs aint about you. i know that's hard for you yankee fans to comprehend

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

When did I say it was? Where in any of my comments did I say that lmao.

Making up pretend arguments. Why?

2

u/monkeytsunami Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

typical yankees fan. and that's why the people hate you. it isnt you that has money. its a team you chose to root for. you chose the richest most frontrunner team available. you're not a baseball fan, youre a fashion fan

1

u/EngineerDad13 New York Yankees 1d ago

You’re right my family isn’t from NYC or anything.

My grandmother didn’t sneak out as a child to go see Joe DiMaggio in person.

Jackass.

u/monkeytsunami Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

that's sick any other family accomplishments you wanna ride the coattails of?

Very fitting for the legend

u/GSDFanatic New York Yankees 2d ago

The Rays really looked at our guys and said "you know what? We absolutely LOVE their hitting approach".

u/Much_Purchase_8737 Major League Baseball 2d ago

Next the Rays will copy our defensive strategy of committing multiple errors in one inning. I hope Jazz goes to Tampa next year 😂😂

u/Ovta Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

And Cleveland’s pitching has been phenomenal

-9

u/Slinky_Malingki Tampa Bay Devil Rays 2d ago

Junior staring at meatballs down the dick and swinging at garbage 2 feet above the zone is doing a lot of carrying for Cleveland tbh.

But yes, their pitching has been carving up the Rays.

0

u/albinochase15 Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

Cleveland is carrying its own weight. Should be 3-0 right now if not for Jose’s error in game 2.

1

u/Slinky_Malingki Tampa Bay Devil Rays 1d ago

Why tf are people mad at me? I agreed that Cleveland's pitching has been fantastic, but that the Rays' approach at the plate has been terrible and they're hacking at garbage pitches. Both can be true.

16

u/scientist_tz Chicago White Sox 2d ago

Yeah that sounds familiar. I watched about 60 ABs like that in the ALDS.

u/Shop-lift Worcester Red Sox 2d ago

They better have had a really fucking good reason to schedule this game the way they did lmao

u/ChristianFiction New York Mets • Seattle Mariners 2d ago

To be fair, they did get swept by the Mets in August.

u/TheSmokedSalmon420 Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

u/AutismFlavored Tampa Bay Devil Rays 2d ago

No, we lost a series to the Mets which is embarrassing enough.

u/Ideaslug Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

Cleveland got swept.

The Mets can be proud of beating both of us

u/AutismFlavored Tampa Bay Devil Rays 1d ago

And how!

13

u/Individual-Coat9336 Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

Only because Lowe had his pitchcom up too loud ;)

10

u/CieraVotedOutHerMom Seattle Mariners 2d ago

The baseball baddie media is still covering LA almost exclusively over this series

13

u/Illustrious_Bear_533 2d ago

It could be a Guardians/Brewers or Rays/Brewers WS, and the broadcast announcers will still talk all about New York and LA and how they aren’t playing, but could have been.

u/PMUrTinyTitsAssFeet Major League Baseball 2d ago

Wait. This game started at 10AM???? WTF??? Who thought this was a brilliant idea? I completely missed it.

u/Rc5tr0 Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

Smh I can’t believe those dumbasses at MLB started a game at 2 am (in Tokyo)

17

u/jebuizy New York Yankees 2d ago

It started at 1PM for the teams actually involved

10

u/DolphinRodeo St. Louis Cardinals • Seattle Mariners 2d ago

It was for weather. Can’t control it, so not worth getting mad about

15

u/gotbadnews 2d ago

Well it was 1pm here so there’s that

2

u/MapExpansion Miami Marlins 2d ago

Same I only found out the game played after I was scrolling though social media

3

u/MisterMihai Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

Weather is gonna be bad tonight and possibly tomorrow. They moved the start time up to avoid having to suspend the game today

16

u/mind-blowin Detroit Tigers 2d ago

Look I like the PTI guys, but I remember 2 days ago after game one when Michael Wilbon who clearly didn’t watch game 1 or probably any of the Guardians games for that matter, tried telling everyone that it didn’t matter that Cleveland won game 1 and that TB was still the favorites and was clearly better. Cleveland is red hot and definitely look like they have the advantage to win the pennant.

Here for the 5PM start. The winner will be up 2-1 and in the drivers seat.

u/generalosabenkenobi New York Yankees 2d ago

Guardians: if you can do this to Junior Caminero, I would be forever grateful

19

u/Buckeye_CFB Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

Caminero mocked our boys' "Chin Up " celebration...which isn't even a shit-talk celebration. It's just...having fun and being deliberately silly

I've rarely been so happy to see a player go 0-4 with 4 Ks as I was Caminero today

u/KingDiddyIII St. Louis Cardinals 2d ago

And the finger wag at kwan, definitely deserved today.

u/Illustrious_Bear_533 2d ago

We’re hoping to. He’s a great player, but juuuuuuuuuust a bit too cocky.

u/iamjeseus New York Yankees 2d ago

I agree, Cleveland needs to close this out 🙏

37

u/BradBrady Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

A brewers guardians WS would be sweet and America would root for either or as long as it’s not the dodgers

But on the other hand I would love to beat a team like the dodgers

But clearly it doesn’t matter as the best 2 teams in the league reach the WS regardless of small market or big market teams

u/Bard_Class Arizona Diamondbacks 2d ago

I was there in 2023 when my Dbacks and the Rangers made it. Non stop articles about how bad the ratings would be, why expanding the Wild Card was a bad idea, how every series should be 7-games, how the team with the best record in the regular season should get a bragging rights trophy. Non. Stop.

Brace yourself for this year if the Guards and Brewers make it. The MLB media will not care about the teams playing but everything else around it.

u/Federal-Spend4224 Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

Eh they scored one run in that game. Can't feel too hard done by.

0

u/albinochase15 Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

1 earned run versus 3 unearned runs by the Rays.

As stated, it should be 3-0 right now.

1

u/Federal-Spend4224 Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

When you only score one run, the pitching and defense has to play perfectly. Hard to to do over nine innings so 2-1 feels fair.

u/cavsking21 1d ago

Yeah but it wasn't like the Rays were really hitting well anyways.

29

u/MidNCS Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

Dear Kevin Cash, please tell the players that we were last in Home Runs in the AL. Please stop trying to hit them.

Ball in play good! Ball being swung and missed bad!

u/weath1860 Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

Yea the Yankees tried that and lost against us. We are beating ourselves. As the Guardians are eerily similar to us…

u/TreacleBusiness5584 Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

I get the sentiment, but the only team that has beat itself this series is the Guardians in Game 2. Neither team had batted well the last two games, though.

u/2Hanks Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

Have we bunted at all this series? Sure doesn’t feel like it.

u/weath1860 Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

They tried in game 1 of ALCS and did not go as planned (pop out.)

1

u/2Hanks Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

Oh yea, I remember that. Need more.

1

u/cavsking21 2d ago

Hard to bunt without anyone on base. Our pitching has just been electric and the top of your lineup is cold right now. All you guys need is one big hit from the top of the lineup to get things going, I still think this series is going to the wire

u/2Hanks Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

Why are we playing 10AM games in the ALCS?

Mother Nature has other plans thanks to Lake Erie…

Because a game in cleveland isnt ever going to be based on west coast time.

Sorry, I bribed MLB so I could watch it at 7pm my time

Markets too small to pay for lighting every game of the series

This is John Husted and First Energys fault somehow

u/boozinf Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

i'm a little out on my Ohio politics living in Denver but damn, the golden boy buying the ads against Sherrod Brown sure looks like he's been on the California diet

after seeing the Sherrod and Megan Fox ads back to back last game i had to burn my clothing and take a shower

Weather in Cleveland

u/TheMayorMikeJackson Pittsburgh Pirates 2d ago

Weird, done on a bad forecast because there's no rain until like 2AM

u/canttakethshyfrom_me Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

DOGE cuts to weather monitoring. Now instead of sending up balloons, they have to ask Elon's shitty AI.

J-Ram had an awful regular season for his standards just to turn into Jesus Christ and Caminero had a great regular season and vanished.

A tale of two third basemen

u/WhyMustIThinkOfAUser Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

As weird as it sounds, the injury may have been almost a blessing? Idk. He got some rest time he never gets. Regardless, the 🐐 is playing mad, and he’s playing free

u/Ricos_Roughnecks Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

Jose is playing like a guy that's been in the league for over a decade and Caminero is looking like a 23 year old playing his first full post season. He may be one of the best young power hitters since mel ott, but his inexperience is definitely showing so far this series

u/Advanced_Candle9272 Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

At 23, you should know not to swing at an up and in pitch that’s inches away from your head.

u/Ricos_Roughnecks Cleveland Guardians 1d ago

He genuinely looks nervous behind the plate. I think the situation is getting to his head. He's not the first to do this in the scenario, and I'm sure he will learn from it in the future

1

u/Advanced_Candle9272 Tampa Bay Rays 1d ago

To me, he looks like he’s trying to go yard or hit it far every at bat cause his numbers weren’t very impressive in the Yankee series, rather than work with what he’s given. But then again, Gavin Williams a horse.

I like how truck commercials are always ranchers pulling on barbed wire when the reality is some douchebag throwing his empty fast food containers in the bed

u/Medium-Complaint-677 Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

90% of trucks are driven by people who would be driving corvettes if they lost 100lbs

u/lido4odil 1d ago

I see the bed of my neighbor's truck 5 feet away every time I look out my bedroom window. That thing has NEVER ONCE had a single thing in it.

u/xtremeradness Seattle Mariners 2d ago

A coworker of mine saved up for years to get a big ass truck just to drive it to and from work with less gas efficiency than his existing, still fine 1999 Corolla. He never used it for actual labor, since it was just a restaurant gig and he lived in a tiny apartment.

u/zooomg Miami Marlins 2d ago edited 2d ago

They got no brains and they hear it in their music and see it on all the commercials. My coworkers are the same way, equating a truck to manliness. They are all helplessly addicted to gambling too.

u/speedburner Cleveland Guardians • SSG Landers 2d ago

Honestly, especially the ridiculous top trims that are flagrantly impractical for any actual work, but are pretty much the same price if not even more expensive than a comparative sports car.

My family calls those fancy trucks the “80 thousand dollar briefcase”

Nana straight up waving goodbye to the Rays dugout while Kwan makes the game-ending catch inches from her head

This woman definitely runs a fish fry and bingo night at the Catholic church she attends. And she runs it like an admiral in the navy

u/FestivusFan Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

From the Guards sub, they’re calling her “Bartwoman”

This is the phrase “Midwest Nice” in baseball terms.

Was beating the Yankees the rays World Series?

Don't count them out. Their bats won't stay cold forever and our pitching can't be this perfect every night.

u/Much_Purchase_8737 Major League Baseball 2d ago

They didn’t really have much of a bat versus the Yankees.

This series is over buddy. I would start looking at World Series tickets.

u/Rarona Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

I wish I had your confidence lol

u/MidNCS Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

Seriously tho, if the Rays remember that they're a smallball hitting team and not 9 Stantons, this series is far from over.

Key word being "IF"

u/Rarona Cleveland Guardians 2d ago

I don't know why everyone is acting like we're a lock, every one of these games have been on a razors edge lol.

u/MidNCS Tampa Bay Rays 2d ago

The same people said that Tampa would sweep too, which is naive at best, after seeing what yall did to Chicago
