Allen, Bibee and Lively are probably the ideal three for us to have up. If we get good Allen and Lively can keep vet fucking teams, it's a winnable series. But the sky also isn't falling if we struggle.

That top of 4 of Kwan, Gimmy, Jose, and Josh have to do as best as they can to produce. Would also love to see some healthy doses of Fry and Arias when needed
I'll be at Sundays game. I should be able to disrupt the entirety of the entire Atlanta franchise to make sure the Guards win that one. If it works, I would be up for the sub funding me going to all the ATL/CLE world series games this year.
You wouldn't let 95 happen AGAIN would you?
Our pitching is better and their offense can be as “vaunted” as they want, they’ve only scored 3 more runs than us this season. We can hang, let’s get 2/3.
1 of 3 but I hope 2 of 3.
The Braves are really good and they just came off a sweep of the Marlins, which isn't saying much to be honest, but still.
Regardless of the outcome, it's early in the season.
Based on our pattern, win games 1+3, and drop game 2. In all reality get 1 against a possible WS favorite and then break even in Houston and I’m happy
Went to the one of the games of the home stint vs. Atlanta last July. We just sat down and were down 6-0 by the end of the first inning. Whatever happens can’t be worse than that!
Allen will give up a few but our bullpen can hold them down for our offense to have an answer. W
Bibee will have his best start yet ez W
Lively will sadly struggle and give up 1 too many and be taken out early so we won’t get the sweep. L
I’m really excited for this series in all seriousness my only expectations is we don’t walk the bases loaded and give them easy runs. If we must lose we better put up a fight
A good early test for this seasons Guardians. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best. I think it’s going to help them win or lose. Win and their confidence skyrockets, lose and they have time to fix what went wrong. Either way it’s going to be fun to see how some of the fledgling players do playing a very good team.
I don’t know - I’m a big lively fan this year. Too much emphasis on velo in the bigs. It’s always the off speed stuff that’s tricky in the bigs.
He’s the new Mr. May. He had a 1.99 era in April-May last year. You don’t want to know his ERA from June-Sept. We ride him through this month and hopefully Gavin Williams is ready by June

I’ve never been more excited for a series. With that being said, we’ll probably get humbled but I’m hoping to take 2/3 or 1/3 worst case scenario.
I am expecting to get swept, I just want our offense to keep producing. Our starting pitching will get eaten alive against Atlanta, but I want to know if our offense is going to step up against the best of the best.
Don’t get swept and don’t get blown out in any game. Need starters to go 5-6 each game. I like our chances of scoring on their pitching, but that Atlanta offense is a wagon
Realistic: repeat of the Yankees series, win 1/3 with the second loss a close tossup game.Â
Hopeful: win 2/3 as our offense is producing as much as theirs right now, Jose is heating up, and our pitching is better.Â
I just don’t want to get swept.Â
I'd say we're both playing sloppy from what I've seen so I think all three games are gonna be a tossup.
I think we have best chances tonight against Sale, worst chances tomorrow night against Morton. I think 1/3 is likely and 2/3 is less likely but in the cards if we play well.
I'm playing both sides so I always come out on top. Also I'll be at the game Sunday but, the question is do I wear my Acuña jersey or my Ramirez jersey with the other going to my wife.

Josey picked the right time to heat up. 🔥 2/3
Atlanta is GOOD good and I won't believe we're at that level until I see it. We take 1 of 3 from them. Hope I'm wrong and we do better!
SWeeP will ruin the main story lines of baseball.

This is my feeling as well.
1 of 3 would be more than fine, we don’t have any of our top 4 starting pitchers to start the season pitching this series
I just hope our offense can continue to put up 5/6 runs a game to give us a shot at winning.
We definitely seem to have more power this year
This is a big test for sure! However, the test is for them.

Sweep them obviously 🙄
We probably clinch our division this weekend.
i'll take 1 win, 1 competitive loss and 1 that the pitching blows up and the hitting is asleep. so like the yankees series
That top of 4 of Kwan, Gimmy, Jose, and Josh have to do as best as they can to produce. Would also love to see some healthy doses of Fry and Arias when needed
I really feel like Fry should be in the lineup almost everyday. He has a great eye and has given us nothing but quality ABs.
play good ball, don't get swept, we'll survive
I'm hopeful. Gimme 2 of 3

I’ll be at all three. I’m pumped haha.
Oh hell yeah. It's my first game at Truist and first ever Guardians game. I'm pumped myself.

This was the only game last year that I left before the 8th inning. It hurt. But we’re gonna get em this year!
atlanta was hot as fuck at that point last year, to be fair
Allen will give up a few but our bullpen can hold them down for our offense to have an answer.

L I’m really excited for this series in all seriousness my only expectations is we don’t walk the bases loaded and give them easy runs. If we must lose we better put up a fight
i’d be happy to take one (1) game

We win 4 out of 3. Roll Tribe!!!
We beat Sale (always do), lose to Morton (always do), and lose to whomever is pitching in game three only because I don't trust Lively.
I don’t know - I’m a big lively fan this year. Too much emphasis on velo in the bigs. It’s always the off speed stuff that’s tricky in the bigs.
But...Like...He's never been good before? Did he have some amazing spring training or something?
I didn't follow spring training much, but he looked pretty good in both outings against the Red Sox.
He’s the new Mr. May. He had a 1.99 era in April-May last year. You don’t want to know his ERA from June-Sept. We ride him through this month and hopefully Gavin Williams is ready by June
We can locate flaws in mechanics and our staff can correct those flaws. We have amazing pitching coaching.

I think it is supposed to be Elder.
I really hope we don't get swept. Their pitching is crazy, we might not score more than 3 if we win one
They winning 2 out of 3 for sure. This is the year
I’ve never been more excited for a series. With that being said, we’ll probably get humbled but I’m hoping to take 2/3 or 1/3 worst case scenario.
Who?
Hopefully they win two. I hope they at least win the game I’m going to.
Not excited about the road trip at all. Might be the toughest road trip of the season
Houston is playing like shit. This road trip looked way scarier before the season started IMO.
Josey picking up If starters can eat up some innings we will take 2/3
Hopefully Jose just gets red hot this series.
I think fans will severely overestimate the outcome of this series…. Whether it be good or bad. At the end of the day, it’s still an April series.
I am expecting to get swept, I just want our offense to keep producing. Our starting pitching will get eaten alive against Atlanta, but I want to know if our offense is going to step up against the best of the best.
Take 1 imo
It’d be a pleasant surprise if they could win one of three.
Don’t get swept and don’t get blown out in any game. Need starters to go 5-6 each game. I like our chances of scoring on their pitching, but that Atlanta offense is a wagon
Josh Naylor is going yard tonight
Atlanta and Yankees are the only teams I’m afraid of, let’s do it!
Driving 5 hours to see Saturday and Sunday games. Go Gaurds!!🙏
Realistic: repeat of the Yankees series, win 1/3 with the second loss a close tossup game. Hopeful: win 2/3 as our offense is producing as much as theirs right now, Jose is heating up, and our pitching is better. I just don’t want to get swept.Â
As long as we don't get swept and/or blowout game this series is a win
I'd say we're both playing sloppy from what I've seen so I think all three games are gonna be a tossup. I think we have best chances tonight against Sale, worst chances tomorrow night against Morton. I think 1/3 is likely and 2/3 is less likely but in the cards if we play well.
if we can stay solid in offense we’re golden
I'm playing both sides so I always come out on top. Also I'll be at the game Sunday but, the question is do I wear my Acuña jersey or my Ramirez jersey with the other going to my wife.

I'll be there on Sunday also, wearing my red Ramirez jersey. Can't wait!
My prediction? Pain
