I could imagine on Guardians Hangout they are watching George Valera the same way we are watching Gunnar Henderson.     Their worst outfielder is rather weak.

One rule of thumb I've heard is glove first speedsters can lose jobs if they don't keep a .650 OPS, Myles Straw is in the low .500's and still going strong.

And while Franmil's year was awful, I don't know if it was cut me to play Richie Palacios awful.

As always they can pitch.   Maybe Kyle Stowers for Cal Quantrill is one of the 2023 offseason trades.

Face their top 3 starters. They also have only one lefty I see in the pen. 
 

That said McKenzie and Bieber have been better vs LHP this year. 
 

We are going to have to pitch well yet again this series.  

How about a little more offense? That would help the cause.

Will be curious to hear if this is just as simple as Cleveland being practical with schools re-opened and expecting small crowds.     I like it too, changes it up a little in the dog days.

They started experimenting with this in 2016. It was for people who worked in the city could go directly to the game and not go home and back. Not like Cleveland attendance is good,  has been low for awhile. 25th this year ,one behind the Orioles. Averaging about 500 less a game then the Orioles.

Best thing for me is it gives me time to keeping catching up on Yellowstone with the wife after the game. lol

I’m not the only one I guess.  Seems like a pseudo soap opera to me, but I know I am in the minority on that one.I keep waiting for the girl to start taking with her English accent , but to give her credit I never even hear remnants of it so far.  Bloody hell!  Take the piss (whatever the heck that means)!

    • I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.
    • Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.
    • I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.
    • I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger. 
    • Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.
    • Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?
    • Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
