I am repeating some things to myself.
Winning streaks don’t last forever.
The Royals haven’t lost 75 games by accident.
Michael Wacha cannot pitch again tonight.
The Guardians lost 3-0 to the Royals yesterday as Jakhob covered here. They got shutout again. Craig Yoho pitched 1 and 2/3rds scoreless then hung a cutter and gave up a two-run homer. Angel Genao got up 2-0 in the count with the bases loaded then topped a good pitch to hit back to the pitcher to end the game. Should someone else have pitched the 9th for Yoho? I don’t know. Probably he should have executed that last pitch better. Should Patrick Bailey have hit with Genao saved to bat for Halpin? I don’t know. Bailey getting two hits against Wacha is admirable but doesn’t mean he is a good hitter.
They need to flush this one quickly and get after it this afternoon. Griffin needs his best performance in a Guardians uniform.
AROIND MLB:
