The Guardians are an amazing story.
To do what they have done with a $57 m payroll is astounding.
I am loving it. Win the first series then beat the Yankees. I would come unglued.

I know this team has limited resources financially, but for those who routinely whine about payroll routinely miss the fact this is one of the best run sports franchises in the country.
Congrats, boys. What a great year and we seemingly have a great future with all of these youngsters.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

This team is both heartstopping and incredibly fun. There have been a number of times where I have said to myself, "Well YTown, this game is over. They had to lose sometime. I'm going to feed the dog, and take him outside" ...... only to come back upstairs and see that they had another incredible finish. 14 rookies debuted for this team in 2022. They are younger than some every AAA teams. They play the game the right way. They keep the pressure on the opposing pitcher and defense. They go full out on every play. They never give up. They are on point with their fundamentals. Their pitching is still a strength, which is incredible, given the injuries their rotation has suffered over the year. They are resilient. In short, they are a perfect reflection of their manager, who, incidently, should/must be manager of the year. I am still not a fan of the new name, but I will be won over if they win a postseason series.

Consistently put out a winning product. Six playoff appearances since 2013 and they are model of stability. They have not had a losing season since 2012 and have never had a losing season under Tito since he took over in 2013. Also, the Dolans never meddle in day to day operations.

I love the Browns and I like football.
But my soul belongs to baseball. It was my best sport. And I coached it at a pretty high level for ten years.
I am fascinated by the game. IMO there is no "game" like baseball. Of course that is a matter of opinion. But that is my opinion.
Last year I was treated to a World Series by the Braves. I was a Braves and Indians fan when I played Little League in Harrisburg Pa.
The Braves last season won 88 games. They got hot at the right time and a few guys (Eddie Rosario and Jorge Soler) played out their minds.
This Guardians team has that mojo. They got hot at crunch time. They have the Momentum.
I am hitched up for the ride.
The Braves and Mets are in choke holds against each other. Come Friday 3 games to decide the division.
Damn I love baseball.

Agree, baseball was my best sport- but I can't watch it often= too slow AND a dominate pitcher takes the fun away. I batted in hs against a guy throwing close to 100mph- I had good 20/20 and barely saw the ball. I was damn glad I walked/ and didn't get hit.
Really like the Guardians as a team- you are correct/ they never give up and have had some damn strange wins....GO Indians/Guardians.

I’m hoping that because they will probably play Seattle we will avoid the dreaded afternoon wildcard slots

We should all draw pleasure when NY fans freak out.
For 170 of 173 days The NY Mets have held first place.
Not so fast NY. The NL East is tied with 7 games to go.
At stake is a by in the first round.

Wait, I thought people said they suck?! Well, yeah, many people say that. There is some truth to it but it is not completely true. For me the underlying situation is that baseball is not just a game where ownership is billionaires. Now you have to be a multi-billionaire by a fairly significant amount if your goal is direct competition with NY or LA. That being said it is both fiscally responsible and a better way to build a team for a long run to do the dirty, day-to-day work of scouting for talent and developing that talent. While a NY may seem to be on the top all of the time if they don’t win the whole thing there is upheaval. Imo, getting quality talent and maintaining that process is very important. Yes, a FA signing can be helpful but too often when it comes to trying to land a FA we usually end up with guys on the downside of their career. We should just skip that because we end up disappointed with an albatross of a contract around the FO’s neck. Should the payroll be boosted? If done the right way, yes, but not just boosted to boost it.
