Hi all! I want to get into the MLB. I don’t want to be labeled a bandwagon fan so I want to choose a team who hasn’t won a World Series in my lifetime. I want to choose a team that is drivable to go to a game or can fly cheaply to make a weekend trip out of going to a game. Also would rather the team be in the eastern or central time zone so games wouldn’t be on so late. One of the teams that meets this criteria is the Guardians. For fans of the team, why should I or shouldn’t I support this team? I saw that they are second in the division this year. How is the team in general this season and do they have a shot at making the playoffs? How is management and owners? How are the tv and radio announcers? How is the stadium? Any players on the team fan favorites that plan on sticking around a while to support? I may ask other teams the same to get their input then will decide after watching a game. Thanks!

Coming up to bat to Thuggish Ruggish Bone….thats whats up. Way to know your Cleveland history young man. I’m buying my son your jersey

soon enough we’ll be able to roll out:

bazzana, Jose, delauter, manzardo, Martinez, Rocchio, Watson, C, Kwan

with a bench of arias, Schneemann, C, fry

I think we’ll all feel a lot better about everything when we get here (knock on wood for health)

Nice read about Jerome Scott, a concessions worker for Progressive Field who threw today's (July 5th) ceremonial first pitch alongside Larry Doby Jr.

I’ve been a fan of ABS, but think it could use some tweaks, specifically I’d make two changes:

1. Each team gets three challenges, activated one at a time to start the 1st, 4th & 7th. Challenges don’t expire, so you could eventually have all three.

2. Any player who loses a challenge can’t challenge again in that at bat.

My thinking is that by spreading them out and limiting per AB on a loss, it keeps the ability to challenge and umpire quality consistent through the game.

Exhibit A is Randy Arozarena, who lost both challenges in the 2nd AB of the game. That punished his entire team and (crucially) removed umpire accountability for innings 2-9.

I’ve seen a number of players batters and catchers chase a lost challenge and burn a second. They’re adults and can use self control, but it’s also a team game.

This would also ensure each team has at least one challenge late in the game to possibly add some drama.

Josh Naylor was insulting Austin Hedges only a few days ago, but the Guardians catcher is having his best offensive season.
