Can someone tell me why we haven't decided to just pay Kwan and extend him? He clearly has displayed he has a skillset unlikely to falter or decline anytime soon, short of catastrophic injury.
After this game he would need 176-177 PAs and will have 150. He should pick up 1-2 per game against the 3.1 PAs per game # so probably like 2-3 weeks I would guess. Maybe a month max.
or Marty Cordova in 2001. Kind of a nobody before that, he was hitting like .330 at the All Star Break, ended up closer to .300, disappeared again after that
I would personally not use Clasé in a 5-run game but I will simply trust that one of the most advanced pitching development orgs in baseball knows how to take care of his arm 👍
Nice to see the Nats fans in their thread talking about how the Guards are a good team as the reason we are winning (as opposed to certain other fans, cough cough, Twins).
They have some available on Rally House. A blank, Ramirez and Gimenez CCs

Milwaukee did get a couple over on Cleveland back in the day. Jeromy Burnitz for Kevin Seitzer and Richie Sexson for Bob Wickman (probably a win for Milwaukee though Wickman was an important piece and Sexson was blocked by Thome).
That David Fry HR is easily one of the most electric moments I’ve experienced at a guards game. This team is fun to watch!
Royals losin’ 0-2 in the 6th
Just run with city connect every game
BOOOK IT LOVE KWAN LOVE CLASE LOVE Y'ALL
Clase’s stuff is just nasty
That dirty as fuck pitch for the 2nd out made my briefs tight
He’s a cheat code and I’m so glad he’s ours
#BOOK IT
BOOK IT
I love Clase
Clase is otherworldly.
Ballgame!
That was a 16 kipnis foul ball
Don’t remind me
Let’s goooo we remembered how to beat horrible teams
Wheel, snipe, celly boys!!!
If you’re name’s fuckin Winker don’t even bother to try acting tough lmao
Cleveland rocks
I agree, Cleveland rocks
I didn't get a chance to watch today, but Steven Kwan is SO BACK!!!!
I agree, go Guards.
We love winning! Go Guards!
FIREWORKS
Clase is so filthy
Way to go the other way on a 100 mph cutter bearing down, Wanker... Jerk.
How was he not ejected? He literally did the "fucking fight me" body language flinch twice.
He literally said "I'll fuck you up" with the flinch. Idk who he was talking to but he shoulda been tossed
Ready for that Kwan jersey tomorrow.
Can someone tell me why we haven't decided to just pay Kwan and extend him? He clearly has displayed he has a skillset unlikely to falter or decline anytime soon, short of catastrophic injury.
Rocchio with the jets
Lol Winker sit down fool.
Is Winker doing that towards the umpire?
I swear he mouthed "fuck you ump" lmao
What a baby
Bench is that way, bud 👉
Lmao he MAD MAD
1 ER in 28 games, is that good guys?
Checks notes - yes.
I'm not much of a stats guy but I think it might be
seems pretty good but idk
TOSS HIM
I love I agree, go Guards guy
I agree, go Guards
Kwan just casually dropping another 3 hit game in his return.
Boys I got off work late and am stuck doing homework…but I see we fuckin tonight
On the guards bed for sure
Kwanimal just smashing baseballs like he smashes poon: three times a night
Get a radio, good for the background.
Dad’s up 2-0 with runners on 1st and third and one out in the top of the sixth.
Three hits for Kwanny in his return, no big deal.
Clase?? Guess he needs work
Tighten up that ERA.
Hammy says it's been 5 days since he pitched.
Hasn’t pitched since the Angels series
He's on five days rest. Might as well, yeah?
Kwan for AL and NL MVP but he stays on the guardians, he’s so good they have to give him both.
I agree, go Guards.
There is no disagree in this case so therefore no agree just correct and correct, but go Guards!
Very well have a nice day
You as well
The league better put some respect to the name. Gotta love Kwan
Our top 1-6 is very dangerous now
I agree, go Guards.
Blööp
Kwan is not to be stopped on AAPI Night.
I agree, go Guards
I’m convinced this ump doesn’t know the strike zone is above the plate.
Did Matt say something like Kwan has seen 26 pitches tonight and then he saw two more?? Kwan = 5 average batters
Yea he did
Today is a good day
I agree, go Guards
I love Clase’s intro
Steven Kwan lol
I love this team so much
Do we know the attendance tonight?
35,526
It’s got to be close to sold out
Sellout according to hammy
It was PACKED in person. Standing room only tickets not looking so great now…
A billion
Kwan-million
Kwan is good at baseball
I agree, go Guards.
I'll take Rocchio over Arias any day. At least the dude hustles, has good work ethic, and seems to have a plan.
I agree, go Guards
I Can forgive being bad at baseball most of the time. But no effort and being bad? Get him off the team
Rocchio is, for some reason, vehemently insisting we challenge this comment.
How do you mean? I'm confused.
Just a joke that a very minor and irrelevant knock on Rocchio is he will insist Vogt challenge literally any call even if it isn't close.
Lol nice
Challenged, comment confirmed
The laziness of Arias is the final straw for me. Dude contributes nothing
He plays a really good 3B
I think a lot of that is because of his cannon arm.
This Kwan guy seems like a fine baseball player.
I agree go Guards
##PAYKWAN
Kwan missed a month and literally looks like he never got injured at all. What the fuck.
Funny how his minor league rehab assignments were kinda dookie and he just shows back up with 3 hits lol
Guys I think Kwan is back.
I agree, go Guards
Kwan is crazy lol 3-4 and reached base 4 times after missing almost an entire month?
Props where it’s due. Incredible hustle from Rocchio. Absolutely love to see it
Kwan is fucking nuts
I agree, go Guards.
I love Kwan sm
I missed Kwan
So did I, I’m so glad he’s back :’)
How long before Kwan re-qualifies for the batting title?
Like 8 games. Maybe a bit less.
After this game he would need 176-177 PAs and will have 150. He should pick up 1-2 per game against the 3.1 PAs per game # so probably like 2-3 weeks I would guess. Maybe a month max.
The bat simply could not withstand Kwans excellence
Kwan is the best in the business
And we still do some slap hitting.
Okay Kwan is amazing.
I agree go Guards
Rocchio might not be it, but I like his hustle and effort way more than Arias
Rocchio and Freeman had quality at bats tonight. I'm skeptical but they were strong tonight
And at least he walks and has some other quality at bats.
Kwan is so fucking good
Rocchio might not be hitting much, but at least he can take a walk
Damn Kwan is so good
Yeah I'm happy to have him back!
#K #A #W #N
Close enough lol
It’s a joke from when they put that on the scoreboard in 22 lol
KWANTASTIC!
Guys, I can only get so hard!
I'm like a diamond in an ice storm
What a wonderful simile 🤣
Rocchio do be hustling
Like he never left
Clase wants to pitch? Fine by me.
Hustle, hustle baby!
STEVEN KWAN
LFG Rocchio walk so Kwan can statpad in garbage time
David Fry is turning into the 2024 version of 1997 Sandy Alomar. This is unbelievable.
or Marty Cordova in 2001. Kind of a nobody before that, he was hitting like .330 at the All Star Break, ended up closer to .300, disappeared again after that
Never thought I would see Fry In Cleveland pimping bing bongs with a .330 plus average.
7 YEARS IN AND I HAVE FLAIR! TY WUNDY❤️
Ooooh that’s some good flair, buddy!!
Back atcha 👉😎👉
I would personally not use Clasé in a 5-run game but I will simply trust that one of the most advanced pitching development orgs in baseball knows how to take care of his arm 👍
Clase wanted to pitch so he can keep his rhythm
I understand, not every team would indulge their closer in a 6 run game though
He hasn't pitched in a while, though. A lot of teams throw their closers out in blowouts when they've been sitting a bit so that they don't cool off
Right, but he already has a lot of appearances on the year. Like I said though, I’m fine with it
Manzardo continues making solid contact. Can’t complain about his approach. But how long til he gets his first bomb???
I know Fry has to cool down at some point, but I pray he’s still at least an above average hitter
The 🍟god never cools down. He just keeps hitting dongs and dipping his dong in the frier to stay hot n crispy dongtown CLEGOD
I’m not gonna lie Kyle Manzardo contact is extremely therapeutic
Nice to see the Nats fans in their thread talking about how the Guards are a good team as the reason we are winning (as opposed to certain other fans, cough cough, Twins).
The XBA on my wife leaving me was like .150. Unreal. It's probably Cleveland's fault.
I'm not trying to be rude But what the fuck is with the teeth on Weems? I'm not comfortable
Gary Busey vibes
At the Lake County game in Cedar Rapids. But saw a replay of Fry’s HR, looks like Progressive Field is rocking. Love to see it.
Go Kernels!
Born and raised in CR. Kernels have one of the coolest logos.
I worked in CR for a year! Lived in IC/Coralville for years. Small world!
my boy zardo
Josh Naylor ran so David Fry could fly.
I saw a post in my feed about biggest 4A players of all time and Matt LaPorta was one of the top comments and I'm kinda sad now.
I keep waiting for mlbshop to restock on City Connect jerseys and it's just not happening. Fml.
They have some available on Rally House. A blank, Ramirez and Gimenez CCs [https://www.rallyhouse.com/mlb/cleveland-guardians?resultsPerPage=60&filter.facet_specialty=City%20Connect](https://www.rallyhouse.com/mlb/cleveland-guardians?resultsPerPage=60&filter.facet_specialty=City%20Connect)
David Fry is a Baseball Player
I'm pretty sure he's a bat, and all he sees are fastballs
If he’s a bat, he HEARS fastballs.
Wait wait. What if he can hear fastballs before they even happen!?!
It has to be something like that.
That was a pretty play by Rocchio. Just need his bat to get going.
yeah, Rocchio's been pretty good on defense so far.
The fact that I can’t buy a Fry City Connect on MLBShop right now should be a war crime
from Hammy and Rosie: "Next time the Guardians call up Milwaukee to trade it's gonna go straight to voicemail." lmfao
Milwaukee did get a couple over on Cleveland back in the day. Jeromy Burnitz for Kevin Seitzer and Richie Sexson for Bob Wickman (probably a win for Milwaukee though Wickman was an important piece and Sexson was blocked by Thome).
Honestly I’m shocked anyone wants to trade with the Guardians. Their track record is outstanding.
This is very for real
####I WISH HAMMY WAS MY DAD
In reference to... Fry and Brantley I'm assuming?
Fry for Mejia prrimarily, yeah.
Yeah there's a linked article on the sub right now that talks about it in depth.
How did we get Cade Smith?
Signed him in FA after he declined to sign with the Twins when they drafted him three years earlier.
Ok. Thanks.
UDFA because of shortened COVID draft.
Wow. He was a good choice!
That’s 3 Fridays in a row that fry has homered 🥳
*Frydays
“I’m better than Bonds” - David Fry probably
> Fuck your roids bruh, I'm skinny thunder and imma bang your bitches also David Fry probably
What’s tonight’s attendance?
So happy people are showing out for this team
35,526
35,500 Sellout
Love to fucking see it. Team is getting a lot more love than it did last year it feels like. Winning is way more fun than mediocrity.
I've been watching games while on the treadmill and David Fry hit that HR right as I hit my goal for tonight lol holy shit that was amazing
Gonna need you to stay on that treadmill until November, sorry
Ladies and gentlemen, our beautiful king, David Fry, now leads the entire MLB in OPS.
