Why does this organization always build a team with hope and a prayer? Exhibit 1 Why do we keep Yoshida? We're hoping for what exactly from him? I rather watch Password hit than Yoshida, Monday through Sunday. Exhibit 2 Why do we keep parading out Buehler? His one outing deserves 4 mediocre starts? 4 hits and 4 walks in 4 innings. Is that the best we got? Bres should be fired. Exhibit 3 We did have a chance to pickup Joe Ryan. Bres simply plays in the middle lane. Get me DD any day. I can go on......Just freakin frustrated with this organization.

And can we just not talk about 'hard' schedule vs 'easy' schedule? We are not good enough to control the opponents. We beat good teams and turn around lose to bad teams. This is not a World Championship team. No way it can win a 5 game series, away, 2 7game series away. Fat chance. That's not a crap shoot for us.

thanks for telling it like it is......Whitlock always gets a pass on this board. He gets hit hard. That's just what I see.

Perhaps Ivy Leaguer Breslow should have done SOMETHING about strengthening the back end of our bullpen. All talk, no action Bres. Whitlock is hittable, and I don't care what anyone here says. Weissert always peters out as the season goes. And that's how you get 7 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk, 8K, 1ER gem from an ace and waste it. No excuse for it. You just wait, this won't be a cakewalk to the playoffs. Guys are getting hurt left and right.

All I hear is how great Whitlock is.......same old Whitlock to me. Another Matt Barnes....

Yoshida grounder to 2B.

We do not lead the league in runs scored. NESN announcers just make things up.

Lets keep our fingers crossed....And for Giolito to find the strike zone. As a side note, the Guardians have been stubborn, hanging around just outside of playoff picture. Others are fading.

We went 1-10 with RISP.....pretty much sums it up......

Talk about a crap shoot. Here we are in August, and we're still dealing with mediocre outings by Buehler. Other than 4 walks and 2 homers..............yep other than the bullet in his head, Lincoln enjoyed the show....

I saw his market value around $3M+....just looked cheap. We did make a trade for him.

Do we sign Dustin May? He's only making $2.135M. Only 27.

100 1/3 innings pitched for Giolito. Probably 8 more starts to go. He needs to pitch couple of 7/8 inning starts. I never thought it would be tough to get up to 140 innings for a starter.

I wouldn't sleep on Narvaez either. It won't cost us much because he's a cather. I think he's a keeper and eventually he'll become a good hitter. I can see him at 1B and at DH to take off some wear and tear.

Moon, how do you see 1B panning out in 2026? Right now, I'd love the idea of Garcia playing 1B if we are keeping all of our OF. I don not want Garcia in any trade. He's a keeper. Or do we roll the dice and trade Abreu and plug Garcia in the outfield mix? I just don't believe Casas will be ready at the start of 2026 and quite frankly I don't know what we'll get. He's just slow and really doesn't fit the team going forward. CC Narvaez 1B Garcia 2B Mayer SS Trevor 3B Bregman-50/50 LF Duran/Anthony CF Duran/Rafaela RF Abreu/Anthony DH TBD (I just don't like Yoshida) If Bregman leaves, I can see JH going cheap and perhaps play Mayer at 3B and plug in Rafaela at 2B (Cora keeps saying Rafaela is the best CF but we simply have plethora of outfielders, including now Garcia in the mix for 2026) We can keep our three amigos in the OF (Anthony, Duran, Abreu) and still have Garcia learning to play 1B. Then the Bregman money can be used to shore up our starting rotation. I think we're in a good position going forward.....If Bregman signs a long term deal, I want that, we won't have to worry about left side of the infield defense and we'll have plenty of pop offensively. Sure would be nice to get a rookie to step in and capture the #5 spot in the rotation. Bello, Crawford, Criswell, Crochet, Dobbins, Fitts, Giolito (?), Harrison, Houck, Perales, Sandoval, then Tolle, Witherspoon, Early, and Sandlin. We have enough guys for 5 spots if everyone is healthy.

Nice homer by Anthony. Unbelievable how far he can hit. Obviously his exit velocity is one of the best. And the 4 walks. Not shabby for a 21 year old.

I pretty much expected this from you..."Baloney" you said. Who said anything about doing it Today....I just wished you put me on ignore...... Are you that tone deaf that you think I'm the only one on this planet smart enough to say it? I heard it from countless former players in print and on the air.

I love 500' moonshots.

I like seeing Anthony getting more lift at bats. For those of you telling me don't fix it if its not broken....well I gotta news for you. The entire organization will want Anthony to tweak his approach a bit. It would be a waste of talent to have him hit 20 home runs (by the way he's nowhere close to that).

Why do I want to watch this crap.....glad I missed Bello throwing over 100+ pitches and not getting past inning 6. Cease with 77 pitches over 6 innings. A professional. Murphy sucks. Walks #8 hitter in the lineup. Pitched to him like he was a Hall of Famer. Bunch of wussies today.......time to put on boxers instead of panties.

My point was there were possibilities of Sandoval pitching in September. All I hear now is cricket. He is not even listed on "injury update". Yeah, I know everyone has injuries.

And no update on Sandoval.....ugh. I thought he maybe returning in September? Basically we are paying him $18M to pitch in 2026.

I'd like for Hendricks to take as much time as he needs.....maybe next year.

I'd give 25% odds for this one.....Ryan would still look in this spot even without Abreu, who apparently is just a platoon player for foreseeable future.

If you truly think Abreu is a permanent platoon player, then we were an idiot for not packaging to the Minnesota for Joe Ryan.
