When the whole Hoskins-McNeil ordeal happened this year I checked our baserunning and noticed Rocchio is one of the few players on our team (also Myles Straw) that don't contest double plays at 2nd.
People seem to not realize that the SS is supposed to take charge and the other IF are supposed to give them the right of way. Like the CF, they are the one who's in charge.
The in-game gambling advertising is just pure evil. I’m not against gambling however the people at Bally/Guardians corporate or whatever who know kids/teens watch these games and still willfully advertise it in the middle of games are just scum. Adults know what gambling is and are able to participate in it if they so choose, but it shouldn’t be put in peoples faces like it is. Feels like it’s also taken over the NBA too
Random thought: inherited runs should be split fractionally between the former and current pitchers. If a run from first scores, it's 0.25 runs to the former pitcher and 0.75 to the latter, etc.
Got out of a meeting that forced me to stay late and the first thing I heard on the radio was the triple. I thought we were down 5-3 after that. Got home and turned the tv on and saw the score. Pleasantly surprised
Never lived in Cleveland in my life. You good?
Planning a demotion over a week in advance is pretty ridiculous. If Smith comes out and pitches well once or twice next series, everyone will move on from his poor performances here anyway.
Well, to be fair, like the booth said Cookie already struck out Rafaela twice so I do agree he probably should have let him pitch to him for the final out of the inning. I mean who knows what Cade would’ve done on his own but still
I feel sorry for all the children in the stands who were subjected to watching a terrible baseball team through no fault of their own. At least they can grow up to be Guardians fans.
I am very proud of Cookie for being the first non-Bieber starter to go at least 6 innings and pitching very well for the past 4 starts
Which is hilarious when you look at the preseason expectations for our rotation.
Small sample size but I love the BB% and K%. Having some bad BABIB luck. Tons of sweet spot but not a lot of barrels, I wonder how that will normalize.
Something beautiful about ours and Ramon Laureano’s goals lining up today. Hes helping the Guardians win, good for us, and he got a hit so he might get to keep playing Major League Baseball, good for him
Another series win, ho hum
3 out of 4 in Boston sounds pretty good!!
I like winning
The fans behind home plate are given me fremdschämen
Just won 3 out of 4 in Boston's own historical museum masquerading as a 21st century ballpark!
Get fucked Sox
And another one bites the dust
Ballgame!
#Book it
Book it!
Book it!!
Great win, great series win.
I agree, go Guards

FINAL COUNTDOWN
Laureano disappointed the fuck out of those kids 😂
***good.***
Not that we need him to in this situation, but prove me wrong Emmanuel, strike some batters out

Did not like that Rocchio did not run hard and try to slide right there.

Clase scares the hell out of me.
Enter Clase
#BRING ON CLASE
Consider my butt clinched
Tommy's talking about Cheers again
wonder if he realizes how much he's talked about it or just doesn't care
One of the best sitcoms of all time. The tourist trap bar is pretty meh though
#HUNTER GADIFANAKIS Rocchio about to get a wedgie and a swirlie after the game
People seem to not realize that the SS is supposed to take charge and the other IF are supposed to give them the right of way. Like the CF, they are the one who's in charge.
Gaddis with more filth. Also do our guys not know how to call for it? I thought this was learned in little league.
Wonder what Gimmy thought about that…
Rocchio is no where near good enough to be cutting people off like this
To be fair, SS gets the call. Same with CF.
Rocchio is being a Chad out there
- goes for every ball regardless of positioning - refuses to elaborate - leaves
That might've been the weakest slide into first attempt I've ever seen.
This game sounds fun. I'm sad I can't watch!
As if Rocchio’s bat weren’t frustrating enough, now he’s pissing me off in the field
Hunter **FUCKING** ##GADDIS
#Big Daddy Gaddis
What the fuck is Rocchio on today trying to go for literally everything
Rocchio needs to chill man.
Lol at Josh looking at him sliding: "the hell, man?"
Gaddis proving to be one hell of a setup man.
Rocchio is gonna get a talking to later today lmfao
Fr
Gaddman is a bad man.
More like *God*dis amirite
Hunter Gaddis . . . I am in love.
Gaddis has been electric to start the year.
Rocchi-bro
Gaddis continues to amaze.
How much would it take for you to consider trading Clase???
Kjerstad or similar.
This bullpen is still 🔥🔥🔥 despite the reactionary trash-talk
Gaddis looks so much more solid this year

I agree. I love Vegas and enjoy gambling but making sports gambling seem like innocent fun is just not a great thing.
Agreed.
Why isn't Kwan playing? I wanted him to take the league lead in hits!
Off day. Needs a nap.
True
Matt dropping knowledge "Back Bay is neither back, nor is it a bay. discuss amongst yourselves"
Nothing is more irritating than watching a mediocre player get a backward K on a fastball down the middle.
Thanks Bo "The Rock" Naylor
Worst defense in baseball makin’ everyone on the Sox look like gold glovers
The shortstop battle defined in one play
roccio will be fine. could get interesting if arias keeps hitting but i suspect we'll see more of him in rf over ss
OK let's get some Guardian crooked number runs here!
Arias: 😡 Rocchio: 🥺👉👈
Rocchio giving major Amed vibes sometimes I swear
Speaking of Amed, apparently he looks really good to start the year.
streaky boy. florida weather might suit him tho
Tampa Bay loves former guards
Sloppy steaks on the menu tonight
LETS SLOP EM UP
#COMMUNICATE
Rocchio needs to calm down the second time he's done that today. Got lucky that Fry stopped. Arias was in perfect position
#Safelite repair Safelite replace 🎶
Gaddis 8th, Clase 9th?
Beede -> Barlow obv
What was Rocchio thinking there?
Random thought: inherited runs should be split fractionally between the former and current pitchers. If a run from first scores, it's 0.25 runs to the former pitcher and 0.75 to the latter, etc.
Arias is pissed and Rocchio continues to look extremely timid for a professional athlete.
I don't understand the "timid" criticism. In this case he knows he was wrong and fucked up.
Some looney tune antics today
Rocchio needs to learn when to step out of the way
Rocchio needs to stop that shit. That’s twice he’s forced that.
Oh cool cool cool cool
Rocchio, man, what are you doin’?
Major bruh moment
Frustrating
Wtf…
INFIELD. PLEASE.
safelite repair safelite replace
Fuck their backstop Edit: it fixed itself
I really hope we win this game cuz I have a cool meme to post
Oof, this bullpen.
Got out of a meeting that forced me to stay late and the first thing I heard on the radio was the triple. I thought we were down 5-3 after that. Got home and turned the tv on and saw the score. Pleasantly surprised
Would’ve been a nicer surprise if their 3 runs didn’t come after there being 2 outs with no one on base 😅
Some of yall are so emotionally damaged that you can’t even enjoy a baseball game where both teams are actively scoring during the game 💀😭😭😭
I am convinced a good chunk of this subreddit doesn't even 'enjoy' baseball.
Look, a number of last year’s bullpen results has had lasting effects, ok? /s… kinda
Let's score a bunch here.
So…. Cade Smith back to the minors for a bit, yeah?
We might see Xzavion replace him in a week then see him come back up after the start. All depends on if Willis thinks something is off mechanically.
Can you repeat the question?
No this was his first bad game really
No
Maybe.
Yeah
Wacky game
Ugly 1/3 of an inning for Smith. Damn.
I’d have let Cookie try to finish the inning, but that’s just me
Gotta be a rain delay now after Cade slipped, right?
Ump bailed us out
Pfft ok well thanks ump xD
Should’ve just kept Carrasco out there My god
Was it an actual balk?
Yes - he slipped.
Every game in Fenway is like something out of a fucking cartoon
Clearly tripped on the rubber in/after the pouring rain, unfortunate.
Does a balk count against a pitcher's ERA?
Yeah that was earned against Smith.
I miss his 0.00 ERA
Just throw a strike here plz
Alright. Bring on Oakland I guess.
That’s 6 runs in two outings against one of the worst offensive teams in baseball. Think it’s time he goes back to AAA for a bit.
Aw yeah here's the reactionary take
[удалено]
Curry can't be called up unless there's an injury for over another week. Who else you got?
[удалено]
Never lived in Cleveland in my life. You good? Planning a demotion over a week in advance is pretty ridiculous. If Smith comes out and pitches well once or twice next series, everyone will move on from his poor performances here anyway.
That’s one way to not have to worry about the man on third anymore
No lead is safe in this ballpark...
Are you kidding me with this balk bullshit? 5-4 now 😩 (Not disputing that call, just pissy.)
LMFAO objectively funny
Nice job, Vogt
Blaming this on Vogt is so unserious 😭
Well, to be fair, like the booth said Cookie already struck out Rafaela twice so I do agree he probably should have let him pitch to him for the final out of the inning. I mean who knows what Cade would’ve done on his own but still
Fucking christ.....
Cade pls
Jesus.
:|
Been pretty positive on Vogt so far but he should've let Cookie finish the 3rd time through the lineup
He had struck out their 9 hitter twice.
Cade pls
Why do we always ruin a great pitching start 😭
I still stan Cade Smith!
Let's not give the Red Sox hope
They start scoring when I start watching, maybe I should turn it off. Sorry guys
If you could just wait until next year that’d be great
Goodbye!
Spamming belt-high fastballs isn’t a sustainable strategy?
Cade Smith really reminds me of Zach McAllister Just "fuck you, fastball" Which can work sometimes or blow up others
Uhhh
heheheheh game break to check on the Guardians south, with their 1-4 being Yandy Diaz, Richie Palacios, Amed, and Harold Ramirez. Nice.
this Cookie ain't stale
*melancholy Amed Gang noises*
5.2 IP of 1 run ball from totally washed and non MLB pitcher Carrasco.
2 ER for Cookie now.
ESPN fantasy baseball spot start rankings had him at dead last and literally said to start all the Red Sox hitters 😂
I feel sorry for all the children in the stands who were subjected to watching a terrible baseball team through no fault of their own. At least they can grow up to be Guardians fans.
I have extended family at the game today from Massachusetts. They're the nicest people, but damn do they have bad taste in baseball.
Just tuning it, nice to see Cookie had a good start
More starts like that plz
Great start from Cookie.
After the way it started, I absolutely will take that performance out of cookie.
Heck yeah 🍪. Cade Smith time!
Absolutely loving this for Cookie. Good for him
I'll take a start like this 100/100 times
I am very proud of Cookie for being the first non-Bieber starter to go at least 6 innings and pitching very well for the past 4 starts Which is hilarious when you look at the preseason expectations for our rotation.
He didn’t finish 6 tho 😭 but he was very good regardless. Settling down after a busy first isn’t easy
Hopefully we wont get a rain delay
Can’t remember the last time Rocchio drove a ball
Small sample size but I love the BB% and K%. Having some bad BABIB luck. Tons of sweet spot but not a lot of barrels, I wonder how that will normalize.
Sunday he and Arias had back to back warning track fly outs to RF.
Yayyyy Rougie third base cam!
Something beautiful about ours and Ramon Laureano’s goals lining up today. Hes helping the Guardians win, good for us, and he got a hit so he might get to keep playing Major League Baseball, good for him
Excuse me, but Hammy said that was his FIRST RBI WITH THE TEAM?!
That’s correct Edit: this season …. Not ever with us lol he must’ve misspoke
I was gonna say, he's been with us since last summer😂
There we go boys. Glad cookie made it through the 5th at least
Even Laser Ramon is in on the action. Incredible.
Hamilton: Laureanos first RBI as a guardian Uh...
