You're completely nuts if you think Flops fans are going put up with a non competitive team year after year without some major changes. You're completely nuts if you think all those wonderful winning streaks are going to matter a single bit when we are eliminated. And you’re completely nuts if you think it’s a good idea to depend on any rookie to carry the team. Too many bums; not enough talent.
-
Go Guardians! Help us out. We need to be eliminated to foster major changes this offseason. It’s inevitable anyway. These bums aren’t making the playoffs.
-
One more run and I’ll have to call it
-
Rafaela makes contact! Take down the date

Rafaela up Next hitter

We’ll see Winning run on 1B
-
Runs are on the way!
-
The Guardians are playing the hapless Twinkies. They’ll win.
-
Not making the playoffs is an excellent reason to call for major changes. But in order for that to happen another team has to help us out by getting in. That’s not a bad thing at this point.
-
That’s the ONLY way the Flops win
-
They’re nice thing about not getting in would be that there’s a better chance of getting rid of Breslow and Cora and a bunch of incompetent position players
-
To be fair, Devers wasn't dumped for salary relief. He was dumped because he was a selfish "me first", screw the team guy. Salary relief was a by-product. I had no problem dumping him. There is no place for that kind of an attitude, especially with so many young players coming up. But what is unconscionable is not replacing him, not spending the money to take on a contract just as big at the TD. Instead Henry pocketed the money. He is trying to tell the fans that his product is a rose when its obvious that its cow dung.
-
Misleading. For example, in the FLOPS 5-4 win Ref got 5 PAs, but Eaton and Hamilton got a total of 1 PA between them. Two of them are NOT playing every night, at least not starting. Regardless, its up to those who ARE playing to perform. Not going to use injuries as an excuse for choking again.
-
"im sick of cheapskate billionaires selling us a mediocre product." And that is part of the problem: Henry has turned cheap to maximize his profits. Breslow promised that the team would be BUYERS at the TD. And I guess they were: they bought a couple of M&Ms. He apparently has told his GM to dig deep into the dregs of the barrel to come up with has-been players to see if they have anything left rather than go after players with actual talent who fill known holes. And we the fans are supposed to just say "yes sir, may I have another"?? This organization is CRAP and yes, the Guardians deserve to be playing in Oct, not us.
-
Are Hamilton, Refsnyder, and Eaton playing every night? Gotta check the box scores on that..... Injuries are an excuse. All teams have them. Injured players are not in the lineup. Performing well is up to the guys who are actually playing.
-
I know they have won 7 in a row and just swept the Tigers. They at least seem to be trying rather than doing a good imitation of the "Walking Dead".
-
We are choking right now! At one point we were shoe ins for the playoffs. Now we have to play three more tough series, two against division leaders. While we choke the season away (again) the Guardians have won 7 in a row. THEY deserve to be in, not us. We are sleep walking to end the season as we frequently do and THEY are putting in the effort to show THEY want it. And they deserve it.
-
Exactly! Breslow whiffed. He did some good things in the past like getting Crochet and Chapman but when it came to fortifying the team and putting it in the best possible position to make the playoffs he screwed up. And that’s getting very old. I think if they don’t get in he needs to go. And he can take Cora and half the position players with him.
-
The point is that the Flops TEAM choked. They were a game away from winning a ring and ahead in the late innings. It was a team effort. It’s their personality and it’s happening again this year. Do you honestly think they will make the playoffs? They’re in Tampa this weekend where they always seem to have trouble. Then they play two division leaders. I’d give them maybe a 20% chance of getting in.
-
Allow me to correct you: I never said I don’t give a rats ass what “others” think. I said I don’t give a rats ass what YOU think. It’s a natural reaction when personal insults and derogatory names are hurled one’s way.
-
Who is responsible for adding players that put the team in a position to win? Breslow. Last year he played it halfway and this year he did essentially nothing at the TD. He isn’t doing a good enough job. I don’t think he is long for Boston.
-
So you’re saying they choked BEFORE Buckner choked. I can live with that. It’s their personality.
-
it’s going to have to be an extensive rebuild from the GM on down. There are only a handful of position players I’d keep. The pitching imo is in better shape and there are players in the minors who are likely to contribute. We are probably a few years away from competing for a ring-if the rebuild is done properly.

I have participated in other forums where I used that term referring to another poster and rightfully received a suspension. But hey-if name calling here is cool I’m in! I’ll defer to what the mods think here regarding name calling. If it’s ok then it’s fine with me. Now here’s the definition of a “troll”. I never post simply to evoke a negative response. I don’t don’t do personal attacks and I don’t knowingly post false statements. ”Trolling someone means deliberately provoking, upsetting, or causing conflict by posting inflammatory or off-topic comments online. The goal is to elicit an emotional response, create drama, or humiliate others, often through false statements, personal attacks, or harassment.” Thats all I have to say on this . It’s a baseball forum. Back to baseball.
