Today, Quincy writes In Defense of Guardians' Manager Stephen Vogt:

He didn't actually "deliver for Cleveland" tho
With Kyle Manzardo and Ralphy Velasquez pushing from the minors, Cleveland faces a familiar bridging decision at first base as Lowe tests the free agent market. cleveland.com/guardians/2026…

Seeing a lot of Guardians fans saying "I'm glad we aren't getting destroyed by the Brewers."
Nope. No. Winning a pennant >>>>>>>>>> not winning a pennant. Always.
I really hope the Rays win tonight because I want more baseball
The only positive if they lose is that I won't have to listen to Smoltz for another year. He is so bad.
Today, Quincy provides scintillating analysis of the Guardians' arbitration decisions:

Lots of interesting tidbits from @ZackMeisel's Guardians' takeaways piece today. This one explains why Williams was not an option for game 6
Also, a lot of players and staff had an upper respiratory infection for the ALCS, unfortunately
Andrew Miller started off the 2016 postseason with 15 scoreless innings, 7 hits, 4 BB and 27 strikeouts. Then he ran out of gas, but that was still the most dominant I have ever seen a reliever. We will see how Ashby finishes this...
Aaron Ashby is putting together arguably the greatest postseason performance by any reliever:
7 games
14 innings
14 strikeouts
0 runs
4 hits
3 walks
From Travis Feldhaus of ESPN research: The record for scoreless relief in any postseason was set by Goose Gossage in 1981, when he had 14 1/3 innings, zero runs allowed.
The Guardians are giving Grant Fink another shot and, as a general rule, I think coaches should get three years to show their abilities.
But we should not ignore that these are the Guardians' BABIP, BA, OBP, SLG, wOBA, xWOBA and wRC+ since Fink took over. Terrible so far:
John Smoltz is wrong, incompetent and actively makes the experience of watching baseball games worse for fans
I somehow missed that the Rays tried to trade Caminero for Ohtani

Smoltz my man I got some news about Trevor Megill: he was not once a starter for the Mets

MLB literally admits that a salary cap wouldn’t change the thing they claim to be standing up for on behalf of “fans” (outcome based competitive balance) 😂😂😂
Competitive balance sits at the heart of the fight that will soon shut down MLB. So @TheAthletic took a deep dive into what the state of parity in MLB really is.
@enosarris ran the numbers, the league and union were interviewed — and two takeaways stood out.

Are the Guardians going to trade Steven Kwan?

Not directed at Al here, but Lowe's stats with the Guardians:
Lowe's slashline after getting traded here: .226/.276/.376
Lowe's playoff slashline here: .243/.349/.297
Also, poor defense. Not sure why they'd even consider re-signing him
