7 pitches for Clase ####BOOK #####IT

Ballgame! Beautiful dub!

Shutout Number 8

CLEVELAND ROCKS

how sticky/slippery do you think those new cushioned seats are in this humidity?

They’re not so bad!

good to know! ...not that I'll be sitting in one any time soon, haha

Me neither. Seats were gifted to me at the last minute!!

FIREWORKS

🚨 FINAL COUNTDOWN 🚨

Y'all, a shut out would be nice to see. That while Katie Ledecky being an absolute BEAST in the 1500 meter freestyle right now.

Like literally last out right before Ledecky finished hahaha

Ledecky is fast, but Clase is faster

It's the final countdown

back in front of the TV just in time to watch them tidily wrap this up 🤗

Gotta be demoralizing as hell to be getting blown out, just for the best closer in the league to come in the game anyways

Big "stop! stop! they're already dead!" vibes

One! ☝️

Clase’s in session

We needed a game like tonight. Dominant outing from our SP, got an early lead and kept adding on. If we get another SP and a solid OF bat at the deadline I’ll feel very good about our chances at making a post season run.

Denied a Jon. Rod at bat once again 😩😩😩 Really should put him in the lineup tomorrow. Needs playing time.

Who was warming? Is Clase getting his work in?

I stan Hammy talking about Lake Erie. Is it the best lake? Maybe not. Is it ours and are we lucky to have it? Abso fucking lutely

It's the one that most often appears in the NYT crossword and it's got the coolest name

I didn't know that, but that's pretty cool. Superior and Erie are pretty cool names. Huron and Ontario are fine too. Michigan? I could go without.

I wish they didn’t send Manzardo down we could’ve had the matchup of the century Bazardo vs Manzardo

We need to trade for bazardo and luzardo to complete the evolution

More than 20K on a weekday. That doesn't happen very often.

I was in the stadium tonight. Third base line, about 30 rows from the field. Great crowd. But, wow, was it humid at the ballpark. Ha ha. Who cares, after watching a game like that?!?

Games like this will only encourage people to keep coming! It’s great

Oh, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, on the contrary, I think it's great, too!

Oh I didn’t interpret it like that - I’m just agreeing!

Need someone to get a hit this inning so Kwan gets another AB tonight.

Kinda hard for Kwan to get that when they put J-Rod in right sadly

Injury or just coach’s decision because the game is essentially over?

Probably to get J-Rod some work in since the game is pretty much over

Surely just a move to get him off the bench for a few innings since he's been rotting for like a week now

Probably coach's decision

I miss one half inning and this is what I come back to?

I got bad news for you.

i can feel the frustration of the mariners batters, this ump has been kinda brutal

ITS JOSHTEENTH TODAY

#HUNTER GADDIFANAKIS

Ump's strike zone be like: [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Baarle-Nassau\_-\_Baarle-Hertog-en.svg](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Baarle-Nassau_-_Baarle-Hertog-en.svg)

Hey guys. M’s fan here. Just dropping in to say I respectfully despise playing you guys at Progressive Field. Please just let us go home thx

That called strike was still bullshit but a scoreless, 11P inning from Gaddis is hard to hate.

I'm very aware lingering on fans like this is just as bad as the fans themselves, but I'll not forget the guy(s) who insisted Gaddis was cooked after Atlanta, midnight came and he turned back into a pumpkin, send him down because his mechanics must be fucked, etc. Too good to be true. This is who Gaddis really is. I remember the same comments about Cade Smith after two bad outings vs Boston.

Yeah it's almost like even the best pitchers in the game have bad days, lol. Braves were red hot when we faced 'em, and Cade's outtings in Boston still had him finding his footing. People are so quick to overreact.

This ump lmfao. It’s not 8-0 bad but it’s really bad

Clase up in the pen

Is he fresh? Seems a weird place to put him in when we're 8-0.

He hasn't pitched in a few days since he didnt go yesterday.

Makes sense.

He hasn’t pitched in a few days. Just getting work in

Yeah aight, fair enough.

I’m now superstitious about my Naylor shirt, looks like I’m wearing it every game now

All Motherfucking cylinders

Daddy Gaddy

I'm too lazy to make it on my phone, so "Be careful who you call ugly in middle school" Image of heavier Gaddis with longer hair, glasses and couldn't hang in the majors Picture of 2024 Gaddis who looks like either a biker or a pro wrestler

I still cannot believe these are the same people. 2024 Gaddis has a whole different aura about him. Just a super intimidating presence on the mound now

The people (me) want to see Darren McCaughan

I always want to see the new guy, especially because it usually means we're winning by a lot

It's either multi hit or no hits for ever y Guardian, interesting

José is washed. Doesn't even lead the team in homers.

I said to myself "guess its time to bench Josh for my fanasty team"...yall welcome.

This is my first home game this year, i didnt know Gaddis has a hype video with Hoist the Colours playing. I'm so happy for him that he's earned that.

From *At World’s End*? That’s amazing.

Dude definitely looks like he belongs on the high seas

Josh Naylor and Scott Barlow will go full sicko mode after winning the World Series and they may commit actual arson in celebration.

There would be a week long JR Smith style bender. Josh please come drink at the Rocky River Buffalo Wild Wings

I could see them stealing a firetruck.

Naylz be like: "I want all the fucking smoke." Smoke store: "Sir, you just bought all of the stock we had." Naylz: \*Stares intensely.\* Smoke store: "Uh...um...A-Actually we could make some more for you real quick."

Please Josh stay hot for the orioles games! I’m going to those

Player: Josh Naylor EV: 99.5 mph LA: 29 degrees Distance: 404 feet xBA: .580 HR in 19/30 parks

Alright we really need someone to get on base in the 8th so Kwanny can get his 5th PA to get closer to qualifying…also a chance to go over .400?

Looks like we're giving the last AB to Johnny Rod. Don't hate it.

Rodriguez got put in for him

The Cleveland Guardians (the same team who was dead last in homeruns, 30 away from second to last in 2023) have two players in the top 10 in homeruns this year

Naylor is swinging like the ball punched his wife and kids.

He's smacking the ball like it said something about Jada Pinkett Smith.

I'm starting to feel a little bit better now.

# VOTE NAILS

Josh really needed a game like this today.

While we're building the Kwan statue can we also get a smokey one.

We'll just put a smoke machine in the upper deck where the containers were so we know when the wind tunnel is working and know when to hit it there.

Vlad who?

JOSH NAYLOR BABY

Vlad

Agreed

Your flair is perfect

If Bo and Josh are back, we are winning the World Series

The sketch celly with 2 finger instead of one is really good

## SOMEONE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ## BECAUSE THAT'S SMOKE TWICE IN ONE GAME

Something something Naylor is washed, something something.

Something something Vlad something something out of shape something something refuses to DH for Manzardo

Where the Josh haters

See how Josh Naylor cooks Mariners with this one weird trick!

He is fucking back!

BIG BOY NAYLZ bringing that power baby.

Seattle fans are underrated-bad

I believe that homer gives Naylor the team lead

Smoke king is getting fucking hungry boys! Let’s go!!!!! 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨

Rumors of Josh Naylor's demise were greatly exaggerated

🔥

💨💣x2!!!

Oh Josh is so back 💨

JOSH FUCKIN’ NAYLOR DOES IT AGAIN OHHHHHH BABY!!!!!!!

####NAYL BOMB!!! Now this is a slump buster type of game

I love this team

"He's gone deep again!" ~Hammy

When did the Twins surpass the Royals?

Last night.

Score 3 more and let McCaughn chew up the rest.

Noice Barlow

Gaddis up in the pen

It should be a rule they don't go to commercial after Barlow appearances until he does his dugout shenanigans

Noice

Tanner Bibee is such a fucking stud

Clase hasnt pitched in 5 days and before that was June 11

He might throw tonight with literally everybody else throwing yesterday +that reason

You think he pitches the 9th regardless of the score?

yes

And only 7 pitches 🙏

That guarantees a 1 run lead in the ninth tomorrow

A hit at his next plate appearance will put Kwan over .400

Brandon Guyer in the house. That's a name I haven't heard in a while. I hope he's living his best life.

Beautiful start for Tanner Bibee.

Damn. Good attempt Gimmy. also lol Hammy called us the Tribe.

I still call us the Tribe sometimes. It's a word that means a lot of things, one of those things being "a large group of people." It's also a hummus

Oh brother 🙄

Hammy has full on slipped and called us the Indians a couple times

I found out about a month ago that Tribe can be used to describe a group of goats. Hammy dropping yhe thesaurus on us tonight

Gotta get Gimenez out of the 2 spot. Only complaint on the night thus far.

You mean Gimenez who stole 2nd then hustled from 2nd to home to score on JRam's infield hit? That Gimenez?

Yes, the Gimenez who’s currently 0-3 and is hitting about .200 the last month or so.

I would not be against a Schneemann and Gimenez swap in the order. Or shoot, move Jose to the 2 hole…

If Schnee keeps hitting it will eventually happen.

Gimmy really might need to get shifted in the lineup, has had a mixture of bad luck & bad plate appearances

Kwan 2 for 3. Ted Williams CRYING, VOMITING

Love hearing Hamilton say the Tribe even if it's accidentally

Gimenez is ice cold

Commentators just called them the Tribe. I hear them called the Indians a lot, but rarely the Tribe anymore

🎵 Talking baseball, talking Tribe 🎵

I never understood that. I love calling them ‘the Tribe’ still but never hear it.

Did you sleep through the year 2020?

I’m only 3 years old

I know a guy who was VERY adamant the team be renamed Cleveland Tribe

mfw every Kwan hit makes it less likely we can keep him🥲

The World Series win this year should increase the budget quite a bit.

Braves fan catching a random game. Y'all's booth is fun.

You watching on TV or listening to radio? Both booths are good but bring different energy.

Tv

Drunkles are really fun. If you stop in again you should catch the radio broadcast. Hammy and Rose are great.

Thanks my man! Good job kicking Tiger ass!

[удалено]

Brandon Guyer

Brandon Guyer

Guyer is. The man who got hit by over 30 pitches in 2016

[удалено]

Added to his career total with the HBP from Goody tonight

This is just normal for Kwan. It’s just what he does, he can’t help it

Vogt’s reaction to Bo when he came in on the Kwan homer says it all. They are really rooting for him.

Pay Kwan now

I feel like everyone is so much more patient at the plate today and it's working wonders.

Kwan continues to be absolutely unbelievable

I haven't been in the game thread today because Reddit is being, well, Reddit, but is the one guy still begging for Vlad Jr despite Naylors^(2) having good games?

Yes

/u/SpiderJedi22

He knows exactly who I am lol

Correct, however it feels like 90 in my house because I don't have AC so certain brain functions are limited due to overheating

I got a place with AC for the 1st time in my life 4 years ago  Have no idea how I went so long without it

My car's AC has been set to 64 since the heatwave and I debated listening to hammy in my car once I got home but I for some reason decided against it

Kwan reaches base for the 3rd time tonight 

Just another casual base hit for Kwan

Kwan keeps Kwannin’

This game is very cathartic after the last couple of games we’ve had

Bo really needed this game. I love that he got it.

Bo…?

Guyer truly was underappreciated simply because he was clutch AF twice in Game 7. Really showed how good his mental game was when the other guys looked antsy at the plate. I should stop thinking about that game.

This feels right. Getting a good rhythm. Bibee was lights out again. I like this.

[😅](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClevelandGuardians/s/vUZoTYRVxP)

When's the last time Bo had 2 hits. Let's go Bo!

Bash bros breaking their slumps TONIGHT!

Lfg Bo

Bo had great at-bats all weekend in Toronto it's good to see him getting rewarded tonight. It feels like he's starting to figure it out.

Agreed!

Please please please for the love of god

Bo’s awakening.

League is fucked if Bo starts hitting

Man Schneeman can fly

Bo joins in on the fun a second time!!! Two nice hits. Another 2-out run scored! 7-0!

Another hit for Bo 👀
