✅ Cleveland Guardians score runs in just 1 of 9 innings
✅ Tanner Bibee gives up the exact number of earned runs he leads by
✅ Bibee gets ridiculous and completely undeserved Loss
✅ Shawn Armstrong enters and allows home run
It was another infuriating game of baseball for Guardians fans to watch last night. 2 runs for Grant Fink’s offense. Both in the 1st inning. Bibee gave them back in the third. Cooper Ingle blew the lead in the 7th by not knowing how many outs there were. And Armstrong gave up the dinger in the 8th.
On the bright side, Chase DeLauter looked awesome against Jacob deGrom.
And Braylon Doughty got promoted to AA. My favorite pitching prospect since Biebs.
How bad is that Guardians offense?
• The pitcher who shut them down on Monday night, Chris Paddack, was immediately DFA’d after he completed the only task Texas signed him for. They know Paddack sucks—he has an ERA near 10 against the rest of baseball—but he consistently dominates Cleveland because Grant Fink’s offense never adjusts to anything.
I expect another team to employ this same strategy before the season ends. Could the White Sox do it this weekend?
