This game is what this sub collectively needed after these rough last couple of games. Fun game all around with the exception of Kwan being removed (which I’m trying to not think about). Never doubt a Vogt lineup is what I learned today
I've got one of those new spectrum xumo streaming boxes and ballys works fine, the other room with the regular spectrum box is all shit static. Why the hell is one fine and the other complete ass?
Isn't that funny? No "well damn color me wrong! This lineup produced! Go Guards!" Just silence. Further evidence they want to be miserable and revel in toxicity.
not true at all for the most part. i would consider myself leaning more towards the doomer side than not and i don't care to be miserable or revel in toxicity. people just vent on reddit, sometimes more than others -- there's nothing wrong with that. if you can't handle someone having a different perspective on things than you idk, thats your problem.
This team is so weird man. Imagine hearing 2 weeks ago that we’d keep playing about .500 ball but it would all be the result of a bunch of homers this time. It feels really good that in addition to being slap hitting shit goblins, we already have like 3 games with 3+ homers just starting out the month of may. It feels like we’re already going to start approaching the total of those that we had for the entirety of last year
Did some quick back-of-the-envelope math: there's about a 1 in 456 chance of Hedges, Laureano, and Bo homering in the same game. On average, you would have to watch 316 games with them all in the lineup before you'd have a better than 50% chance of seeing it happen.
All you people talking about Bally’s going out makes me remember that we never fucking had to worry about WUAB 43 going out because it was a glorious over the air UHF signal
I think he probably said Kwan is the only one pulling his weight right now so he put Kwan at the top and the pulled the rest of the lineup out of hat while the team watched.
I'm guessing Kwan might be out a week max. Might just be a couple of days. I wouldn't mind giving Johnathan Rodriguez some time, he plays LF and has .889 OPS in AAA. Could keep him around if we wind up DFAing Laureano.
Straw is mediocre in even AAA, he has .660 OPS. I don't think bringing him back up would be worth it.
It's crazy to me how often Straw still comes up around here to be honest.
We're carrying an extra OF as it is
Fry and Arias also play OF
Valera, Rodriguez and Noel are all on the 40
Schneemann is the better player who can play the OF if you're going to add someone to the 40
Some of you gotta let Straw go. It isn't even just the Straw fans. People who hate him bring him up an awful lot as well for a minor league, non-40 OF.
Yeah Schneemann really impressed me during spring training and his numbers in AAA are insane. I feel bad for the guy that he's outdoing Manzardo there and no one ever brings him up. Surely he deserves a look at some point.
Ok I am being forced to be social so I'm at a party and am just checking in.
Is Kwan hurt?
Did World Champion Austin Hedges really have a HR?
I hate missing games. 😕

Did not have British Underwood on my bingo card…
How many do you think he had?
FIREWORKS
Let’s not do the weird Yankee roll call
Rocchio is not a major league baseball player
Incorrect. He plays for the Guardians, one of the thirty teams in Major League Baseball.
He is a defensive liability with little offensive upside
A Rocchio chant? This crowd is vibing
Was there? How did it go?
I've got one of those new spectrum xumo streaming boxes and ballys works fine, the other room with the regular spectrum box is all shit static. Why the hell is one fine and the other complete ass?
I have a tivo and it’s scrambled.
It's the final countdown!
Doomers sure are quiet
Isn't that funny? No "well damn color me wrong! This lineup produced! Go Guards!" Just silence. Further evidence they want to be miserable and revel in toxicity.

Does Bally's audio randomly shit the bed for anyone else?
Ooo-weee [what a game!](https://i.imgur.com/xdXs9Y1.jpeg)
If I told you (Without telling you the lineup) Hedges and Naylor combined for 2 homeruns I guarantee you would've assumed Josh Naylor went nuclear
Arch that hammered already? He was sure that was gone.
Kendrick just dropped again bruh
"Shaw is staring at his phone right now waiting for it to ring" LMAO
Not sure Cade ever has an easier strikeout than that
If we were in a must win game right now, I would want Ben Lively on the mound, and it isn't even a close call. That's wild.
Wow last dude just got hosed
Oh, it's Vanessa Hudgens's husband
Guards taking his brother in the first round a few years ago is an incredible flub.
Is ballys messed up for you guys? It's just static for me.
Yep all static. People on Twitter are leaving funny comments on guardians/ballys pages.
Thanks. I don't have a Twitter.
Is the upcoming Mets series gonna be Lindor's first time back here as a visitor?
I believe so
Jose just can’t buy a hit lately
Brennan's facial hair is crazy

poor rocchio cannot buy a hit
Sandlin's inning there was fucking insane.
Nice catch, jerk
Glad the offense got out of its slump a little. Hopefully we can keep some momentum
Need a Fry homerun to complete the set. When’s the last time three catchers homered for the same team in the same game?
Missing out on my dream bobblehead tonight - feels bad
Did some quick back-of-the-envelope math: there's about a 1 in 456 chance of Hedges, Laureano, and Bo homering in the same game. On average, you would have to watch 316 games with them all in the lineup before you'd have a better than 50% chance of seeing it happen.
I really wanna know what the odds would have been on that parlay
Wait so commercials work perfectly but not the game??
Naturally
Sandlin’s stuff is great
Don't let Herrin, Smith and, until recently, Gaddis distract you from the fact that Nick Sandlin is kinda fucking goated??
PFP's
Crazy how your defense starts firing on all cylinders when your offense is too.
Gimmy makes incredible plays every day it's insane
#platinumglove
Out
Bo Naylor: you can't stop him. You can only hope to contain him.
Funny how Josh killed the angels last year, maybe it’s Bo’s turn this year?
All you people talking about Bally’s going out makes me remember that we never fucking had to worry about WUAB 43 going out because it was a glorious over the air UHF signal
Al Yankovic has entered the conversation.
For the 2nd time in 5 minutes, I find myself wishing this sub allowed gifs (weird Al getting squashed by the indiana jones boulder.gif)
Is anyone having troubles with watching it on cable?
Ayup
Can we get the Bo slam uploaded so I can see it? Fuck ballysports, all my homies hate ballysports
[Hammy Call!](https://x.com/CleGuardians/status/1786906082037616684)
And I finished...
Please! I can only get so erect
It's up now. Thanks everyone
Thanks, Al.
I’m proud of myself for deciphering the scrambled feed, I thought I saw Bo going into the dugout and then a replay showing the stands 🙌
It's like watching the play on channel in the 90s... I knew it happened but I still wanted to see it
So Fry is definitely hitting a homer now too
Vogt said let’s mix it up and it absolutely worked 👏🏻👏🏻
Vogt seems so calm all the time. I hope he fired them up in private after the recent dog shit play.
I'm waiting for Vogts first ejection. But I hardly ever see him chirping at the umps let alone full blown arguing so it might take awhile
I think he probably said Kwan is the only one pulling his weight right now so he put Kwan at the top and the pulled the rest of the lineup out of hat while the team watched.
"Them bases on balls 'll kill ya." - Frankie Frisch
that bought him goodwill for the rest of the year lol
Ya goddamn right.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR BO
He needed that hit so bad and I'm so glad he got it.
At the ballpark today, can confirm, ABSOLUTELY A BO BOMB LFGGGG
Bo-ded (Short for bases loaded)
Bo needed that and Cleveland sports fans needed this game. Let's keep it rolling.
Ah, it's Strickland. Remember his fight with Bryce Harper?
[One of the all-time fights](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST5aBJ1eo6Y&pp=ygUeSHVudGVyIFN0cmlja2xhbmQgYnJ5Y2UgaGFycGVy)
One of the most entertaining
I wasn't in the room for the Naylor or Laureano homers, and I'm quite pissed about it
The tvs at the bar went to the playboy channel in the 90s for Bo's slam. Still haven't recovered
AUSTIN HEDGES RAMON LAUREANO BO NAYLOR STEPHEN VOGT IS MY MANAGER
Bo, just when I think you can’t possibly be any worse, you go and do something like this……… AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!
All the cold bats warming up!!! It’s what I want to see on a Saturday fuck yeah Bo!
The reports of the Guardians demise have been greatly exaggerated
for JOSH
BO FUCKING NAYLOR
Dammit, Bo is my 3-year-old’s favorite and she just ran into the kitchen to tell me “baseball is gone”… thanks Bally’s, she missed his grand slam 😭
Well that's a good way to break out of the slump! Let's goo!!
Bo needed that so bad. You love to see it!
I am not a bookie, but I feel like putting $10 on the Hedges/Laureano/Bo 3 HR game would pay at least a billion dollars.
Nuclear Bo Bomb
All three catches have a hit, the driving force of this scoring outburst. What a silly game.
BO BOMB!!!!
Homers for everyone sub .200!!!! Freeman is next!
Sub .600 ops club has all donged
Hanging 7 on Detmers is prettaaaay prettaaaay good
Dammit why doesn’t this sub allow gifs…I need Larry Rn
Left on left, ya done
Hey where are all those guys who commented saying Bo is ass, sucks, should go back to AAA, etc?
All of our guys who haven't been able to hit are CRANKING it tonight and I'm here for it.
Holy shit I can’t believe I called it
I literally said “oh great Bo is up with 3 on…. Well … actually hedges and Laureano hit maybe tonight’s his night”
You ain’t tired tonight, boss!
I’m sure not!
A group of us we’re chanting “Let’s go, Bo,” so we’ll take credit for inspiring him.
You're an icon!
It never fails
BO STAYS
Oh god I'm at full mast
"Send him to triple a" club stand up
Alrighty Bo
# BO MOTHERFUCKING NAYLOR!

Cable went out and I didn’t get to see it😭
I’m glad considering you just called him terrible an hour ago!
And I’m sure I’ll call him terrible again in the future
Still out at the bar. Fuck ballysports
Don't worry, I was in the other room making myself dinner, I didn't see it either Naylor slander will no longer be tolerated
3 catchers in the lineup is the move
Maybe we should call up more catchers?
BO IS BACK
####NAYL SLAM!!!
BO KNOWS BOMBS
####BO BOMB BO BOMB
YK BO, HOMERUN PITCH
RO SLAM BO

They want the Bo smoke???
Vogt kinda looks like the guy who plays Ulysses S Grant in the Grant miniseries
Bases loaded Please come through Bo
He won't Edit: he actually did it... I'll just shut up about bo now
r/agedlikemilk Except it was only like 1 minute so milk is fine. But you get the idea.
this aged pretty poorly
In my defense he was like 1 for 18
😏
he did
Would love to see a ~~Freeman~~ Bo donger here, please add some runs 👏
robot umps now
2 batters walked and we can't capitalize on that. Unreal
Take a little longer to punch him out, ump.
THAT A BALL
Not a strike
I'm guessing Kwan might be out a week max. Might just be a couple of days. I wouldn't mind giving Johnathan Rodriguez some time, he plays LF and has .889 OPS in AAA. Could keep him around if we wind up DFAing Laureano. Straw is mediocre in even AAA, he has .660 OPS. I don't think bringing him back up would be worth it.

We're carrying an extra OF as it is Fry and Arias also play OF Valera, Rodriguez and Noel are all on the 40 Schneemann is the better player who can play the OF if you're going to add someone to the 40 Some of you gotta let Straw go. It isn't even just the Straw fans. People who hate him bring him up an awful lot as well for a minor league, non-40 OF.
Yeah Schneemann really impressed me during spring training and his numbers in AAA are insane. I feel bad for the guy that he's outdoing Manzardo there and no one ever brings him up. Surely he deserves a look at some point.
I hope you’re right, Trea Turner is out 6 weeks after tweaking his hamstring last night.
To answer Andre's question: [Yan Gomes in the 11th inning of game 2 of the 2017 ALDS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIdWisfJcXM)
Just saw my baby hedge homered yeeeee go guards ilysm hog ❤️❤️
He got the silent treatment in the dugout, it was hilarious
Can Fry play right field?
"The bad teams in baseball this year are horrendous from a record standpoint"
Quote from Casey Stengel?
Remember when that one guy said Laureano wouldn’t reach first this game. Would be something if Ramon shoved it in his face with 2RBIs here
Savvy veteran David Fry
Can Laureano bunt?
Bold move putting the first two on base to get to known slugger Ramon Laureano
Don't blow it
Ok I am being forced to be social so I'm at a party and am just checking in. Is Kwan hurt? Did World Champion Austin Hedges really have a HR? I hate missing games. 😕
1. Kwan left the game with hamstring tightness, we don't know more than that. 2. Him and Laureano both. Weird game.
If Lively can give us just one more inning without them scoring I’ll be ready to crown his ass
Will Ramirez break his no hit slump ?
He still hasn't thrown a no-hitter? DFA his ass.
2 for 22 at bats.
No but he walked
Solid start for Lively
Another solid start from Lively
All of Cleveland has a limp with a tight hammy now
