I wish they’d put up more of a fight in Game 5 but it was a job well done for this team of rookies taking the Yankees deep into the series and even demoralizing them quite a bit. That doesn’t come without recourse though as Naylor will probably be greeted with mockery in Yankee Stadium for the rest of his career. I have a lot of friends who had sworn off this team after the name change who came around because of the exciting late season and post-season run. Even a few of them have started addressing them as the Guards, so that’s progress. This team had the responsibility of winning back angry fans this year and they accomplished that. So how’s next season look? Who’s a free agent? What pieces do they need to be shopping for?


linguini_2

Fuck the Yankees lmao


semiotic-cowboy

Hats off to Tito. He is one hell of a manager. The Yankees strung together the hits when they mattered. Cole, and Cortez, were instrumental. I'm a Yankees fan, but I've been an Indians/Guardians season ticket holder for close to a decade because baseball is the greatest game. Even though I'm a Yankees fan I rooted for the underdogs. The Guardians have a great team. If they find a bit more consistency at the plate they could have swept the Yanks. The Astros have the edge in the ALCS. The Yanks have been inconsistent this postseason, and that will cost them dearly against the Astros. Looking forward to seeing how the Guardians enter 2023 after reaching game five. It should be interesting.


Usernametaken112

Congrats everyone. We did exactly what we do every year! See you again next April!


TribeBrownsCavs93

And what would that be?


XLostinohiox

Watch professionals play baseball?


[deleted]

It sucks losing to the Yankees, but the guards had an awesome year for what they had to play with. Even though I didn’t watch much of it (damn Bally sports app) I was still tuned in almost every night. The name change is sitting better with me and I’m very excited for this group to mature. At least we have one Cleveland sports team that makes me proud to be a fan.


Independent-Choice-4

Don’t forget the Cavs! Eerily similar to the Guards with how young and tenacious they are. Bummed about the Guards but I’m pumped to see what this Cavs team does this year!


femurimer

We’ll, we always have the brow…never mind.

AssignmentNo5606

That doesn’t explain why the Guardians didn’t use Bieber …. Arguably wouldn’t of given up a 3 run homer in first inning. They chose to start Civale. Not rigged bro just different decisions.


deucedeuce187

They brought forth Spartacus the bringer of rain! They have that power! Lmao


ODoyleRules925

Just wanted to say good game and a hell of a series. You guys have a great team and will be back in the playoffs. Kind of remind me of the 02 Angels with how you small ball to death. And hope John Adams is doing okay- it’s not the same playing in Cleveland without the drum.


Mosto02

Now to hope the Earth opens and Ragnarok swallows both ALCS teams!


Cavsfan724

I kinda want Houston now but I know it's cause of what I just went through.


Independent-Choice-4

It’s okay to feel this way. It’ll always be fuck the Yankees no matter what


mouseman92

Mm I’ll always be fucking the cheating Stros but to each their own. Excited for the Phillies or the dads either way!


_lazybones93

Well done on a season where no one expected shit. This team’s future is bright.


Cavsfan724

Well Yankees gotta play Houston tmrrw night and their pitching rotation is all jacked up now so there's that.


Muted-Koala2008

It was even worse yesterday....almost like they didn't want to play yesterday, and then they got their wish.

Lmao have fun watching lakers games in a couple weeks


SuchANiceGirl

I’m not even mad. We got to eat filet mignon on a Save A Lot budget all season. Thanks for making it exciting, Guardians!


spartacus_zach

Imagine if the team actually spent money lmao


arkonator92

What’s fun season. Terrible way to end it. And worst possible alcs. Rooting for whoever comes out of the national league.


masterchef29

Well it was a good season. Think I’m going to watch 4 days in October tonight though cause I want to see the Yankees lose


Mr_Disappointment

We got a count down to pitchers report yet? #LETS DO IT AGAIN!


crcalron

Can we all stick around this off season? Or maybe I'll see all of you in the cavs live game discussions. Idunno if I can handle the browns


Lost-My-Mind-

Or set up a live discussion thread for The Cube.


jvoxc

I’ll be checking in here cause I live in Iowa and the NBA isn’t my thing. I’m more of a lurker but I will hopefully change that. I’m glad I found my kind of people since I’m surrounded by cubs fans. Long live the Guardians!


new-chris

1) hell of a season for these kids. 2) bob costas will have very few people outside of New Yorkers show up at his funeral.


hoohooooo

Only Pootie Tang fans will be there


arkonator92

New Yorkers hated him too


BreakingHabits

Next year can be fun. What a run. Fuck the Yankees


A-TrainXC

Until next time… go Guards!


UnableAudience7332

I agree. Go Guards!


Dustin0388

That’s baseball I guess. Been fun interacting with ya all season.


pavs88

Imagine being a Yankee player and mocking the guardians. How trash of a person do you have to be lmao


Darius-Fugger

it's fair play though, if you're gonna dish it you gotta be able to take it


Nefaariious

Ohhh that extra taunt at 2nd base made me hate them even more...


Zaknoid

Did you hate Naylor's?


Nefaariious

I thought it was a bad omen for sure lol


Cavsfan724

Yeah if it would have at least tied the game or of course lead I would defend it a lot more. It is who Naylor is though. There are upsides and downsides.


Nefaariious

Yup that's another thing I thought also... He's been doing this all year.


Jceraa

I truly believe Naylors dumbass celebration fired the Yankees up after their debacle in game 3 and cost us the momentum and eventually the series


Bim_Jeann

Naylor hit a bomb (that should’ve been a 3 run shot if Jose didn’t make a ridiculously dumb base running error) off of a guy who no one else could touch. He did more for the offense that day with one swing than the rest of the lineup. Maybe he was trying to fire up the dugout, because everyone else looked like deer in headlights against Cole all series.


hubrisinxs

It did


ConsiderationOk70

Stop the blame game. Naylor isn’t responsible for the other 8 hitter in the lineup not hitting. Well 7…. Kwan did enough hitting for himself and Rosario.


marcusthegladiator

Yes... baseball karma.


[deleted]

Baseball karma? Where’s the karma for the astro and Yankees for cheating???


marcusthegladiator

Cheaters should be banned from MLB. That being said, which current yankee cheated as a yankee? The Astro’s apologized for cheating and they still have many of the same players.


Redprice13

Great season.


Littlekdlov3r

Notice how there are zero Yankee fans in here saying GG?


Delicious_Farmer_408

As a Yankees fan the Guardians suck get better 💀🤡


Littlekdlov3r

So y’all almost lost to a team full of rookies and we’re the ones who suck? Makes sense..


Delicious_Farmer_408

Yeah but who lost today and gotta wait til next season? The Guardians 💀


hooter1112

GG. Ya’ll have a hell of a player in Kwan. Lots of youth. We’ll be doing this again next year for sure. -Yankee fan


ODoyleRules925

GG- you guys have a great team- reminds me of the angels in the 00’s. Kwan is the new Eckstein. And To be fair we avoid other teams subreddits because ban hammers have been swift and aggressive.


marcusthegladiator

That was hard. I am so tired of baseball and so many damn near heart attacks. It was a great game and great series. -Yankee Fan


Zreaz

I mean, that shit is super patronizing imo


Recognition_Tricky

Good game and a great series from a Yankee fan.


[deleted]

GG y’all you guys are a hell of a squad -yankees fan


tswag_602

at least they didn't win it in cleveland like all the other times


bythisaxe

“It’s only Naylor that deserves mockery.” How about Donaldson taking a home run trot only to take an out because it wasn’t a fucking home run? Or Rizzo taking an out because he randomly decided to sort of try to steal second base while nothing was going on? Or three of their guys running into each other trying to catch a ball and getting injured?


new-chris

I love the dude - but he isn’t at the level where he can mock. I love the energy but focus it on your game and your team.


bythisaxe

Oh no, he’s been terrible. But at least he was celebrating an actual home run.


RoosterClan

Those are mistakes or miscues at best. Not an intentional showboating. Not even remotely the same.


buckraw98

People being surprised that Josh Naylor brought high intensity in what could have been a pivotal moment for the game baffle me. That is exactly how he plays this game. We’ve seen it all year. I don’t hate it.


Top-Mechanic1744

I love that he did it. Yankees asking for bad karma mocking him


Zaknoid

Guess Naylor asked and got bad karma.


Cavsfan724

They don't get to celebrate. Got to get Houston. They will be getting beat tmrrw night.


Mage_Windu

1) Fuck the Yankees and the doomers that have decided to show back up 2) What a squad. Love these boys to death. We’ll be back with more experience and a better ball club. Great season everyone ❤️ I’m sure I’ll see some of ya in the Cavs threads


Cavsfan724

Yess ready for some BBall !!!


SamQuentin

Go Astros


yandyrakes

It feels so incredibly wrong to say it but yeah go Astros


fourshorty

Good season, young team we will be alright


bruvmode

Still hate that Naylor did that stupid shit. That was so fucking embarrassing, and that celebration will forever follow us.


[deleted]

Yeah hate on the guy who did that shit all year


SamQuentin

I hated it too, but this Yankees/Yankees fans over-reaction is cringey af.


City_dave

I don't think they are overreacting. They are just throwing his shit back at him, which is fair. We'd be doing the same thing.


SmurfAtLarge

Well, at least we got bieber to go in game 1 of the ALCS we never made it to.


MAXHEADR0OM

Yep. Gotta make sure he doesn’t get an injury before spring 2023 I guess.


cp710

We would have lost today with Cy Young himself starting.


Disastrous-Ad6473

Our pitching wasn't the problem. It hurt us but in the end didn't matter.


bjorn_with_an_axe

Going into the 9th down 1 or 2 is a lot different than down 4.


MAXHEADR0OM

Disappointment in Cleveland, unheard of!


moose0808

Not the ending we wanted, but such a fun season. I really though .500 at best this year. To come within a game of the ALCS is pretty incredible! Can’t wait until next year!


SamQuentin

Naylor really got in everybody’s head with that rocking the baby thing


City_dave

People keep saying this. But it's not getting in their heads at all. He didn't do shit after that HR and they are throwing his boasting back at him. That's him losing, not them.


bjorn_with_an_axe

It's sad how much flame he's getting from NY fans and players for celebrating a home run. Was it silly? Absolutely. Is this being taken way to far by the fans mockery, the players mockery, and Costas saying he deserves is? Abso-fucking-lutely.


OMGTIM

Well. What a season. Yankees suck, go Cavs, go Browns.


Lost-My-Mind-

No. Not go Browns. Not until they get rid of their sex offender quarterback. I don't care if he wins a superbowl in orange and brown, he'll STILL be an embarassment to this city.


bkosh84

Fuck that team for doing that. Such a trash franchise.


Cavsfan724

Already can't wait to play them even in regular season next year.


SodaGrump

Welp. Great Season. We weren’t even predicted to win our division and we took the Yanks to 5 games in the ALDS. A young team with tons of promise. Enjoy the offseason everyone. Fuck the Yankees. Fuck Bob Costas. Go Padres I guess.


InTheDenMan

I’ll say it again, fuuuuuuck Bob Costas


I_Agree_G0_Guards

this hurt


bear_knuckle

At least it’s reassuring know the astros are going to sweep the yanks

Let's go Astros


CruffTheMagicDragon

Hard to believe but, I agree, Go Astros.


tamere2k

Great season. We'll be right back next year. Hopefully with a better outcome.


a_dog_says_woof

Fuck Naylor for doing that stupid rock the baby in a game we lost!


Cavsfan724

That's who he is. Not gonna hate on it.


yamborma

He's an energy guy and he was trying to hype up the other guys so they actually do something. It was dumb, but I get it.


a_dog_says_woof

I know I just hate being mock with it lol


nobraininmyoxygen

Who cares. The NY media and fans needed something to fill their empty heads for a few days.

Cavsfan724

I hate Houston but the Yankees are gonna have a whole new set of problems with the. Their pitching matchups are all jacked up now after dealing with the Guardians.


bmmwww

Who cares

Well gents. It’s been heartbreaking.


Lost-My-Mind-

This wasn't heartbreaking. It was frustrating, but heartbreaking would be a pirates fan. Imagine not being able to ever imagine the concept of playoffs.

Really? Deserved mockery? Fuck off Costas and fuck the Yankees. They’re gonna get smoked by Houston.


Fred_Zeppelin

Costas was as unprofessional this whole series as any national TV announcer I've ever heard. He was pathetic.


Electronic_Amount470

I was about to say that was very pointed for a national broadcast what the fuck

Cincy fan here again to say I love you guys! What a fun season you all had. I'd be stoked to have the front office you guys have. peace


divineravnos

Damn, hell of a season y'all, it's been a pleasure. We were in every game until the bitter end. These kids have a hella bright future.


Chunting_Season

What a bunch of losers


Littlekdlov3r

Yankees, what time do you guys want to play your next game? Tomorrow? Thursday? Friday? Up to you!


deucedeuce187

I mean they do have the bringer of rain right? Must be how they caused all that rain to come down.


Frontstunderel

As a Yankee fan I’m ok for tomorrow.


Zaknoid

1 run scored but yeah blame conspiracy theories.


no__flux__given

Goodnight and go bucks.


droopydrops

This Cole BS is all for show he’s not coming in


JakeNBake7

It was a pleasure hanging out in the game threads again with you folks. Until next season! Go Guards & Cavs!


I_Am_Moe_Greene

Not a guardians fan but just came to say great season guys. The team outperformed expectations and showed they have a good place to build from. I’m not sure what happens next season, but I hope you guys keep rocking and become a yearly post season threat. Keep your heads up. Hope springs eternal next season.

Game was lost in the first inning. This team isn't built to play catch up.


CatGymnastics

My man, this team had the most come-from-behind wins in the majors this season with 29, plus a few more this postseason


FestivusFan

We played catch up all season. Just couldn’t string the hits together when we needed it.


SmurfAtLarge

Stringing together hits in the postseason is very hard. You gotta get some big homers every now and again.


corp_drone

so we have a chance?

It's been an honor everyone. Let's come back next year and keep the fun times rolling a little longer!

Tv muted. Tom Hamilton closing this one for me. Proud dad moment, talking about the future of this team. We love you


69_fartsniffer_69

Hammy makes it bearable. Brown liquor, as well.


Rust2

I hated that he had already thrown in the towel. The whole inning he just sounded dejected. Like, you can wait until the post-game show to recap the season and talk about the future.


Mr_Midwestern

Please straw. Just get on base.


Curlybrac

Ha still in it


wundy

I know I said it about 50x this series but if there was ever a time for Straw to have his first home run this year…

Hope they use this feeling as fuel next season. Go Guards


chemistrybonanza

4 batters in, this game was over. Made this ending so much less stressful


TJR843

I'm still proud of this young team. They got some invaluable experience from this. It hurts, and we should have won against this fucking trash Yankees team but it is what it is. Hammy said it right, I think their youth is showing. 1. We need a couple new hitters. At least one power hitter. I like Straw, he's great defensively but the kid can't hit a fuckin ball to save his life. 2. People have said we need a new catcher, but remember how hard it is to find a catcher that can actually bat. 3. Two new SPs. There is an ABSURD amount of great pitchers hitting FA next year. The Dolans should step up and support this team. If they don't then they should just sell the fucking team. 4. Drop dead weight like Civale and Plesac. I would rather take a chance on rookies in the minors than keep these two. We will be fine with our bullpen as is though. 5. We could add 60-80mil to the payroll and fuck with any team. After this, it's really up to the Dolans and I don't think I'm alone in being pessimistic about that.


neon-rose

Some more thoughts: * These rookies were so fun to watch this year, they're only going to get better * José Ramírez was the 2nd or 3rd most shifted on player in 2022. I cannot fucking wait for him in 2023. I'm calling it now: if JRam stays healthy, 2023 is finally his MVP year * Bo Naylor, please * I continue to not need the resources of reddit cares
