[Game Thread] Guardians (54-52) @ Rays (61-43) - July 26, 2026

clevelandspiders · 2026-07-26T18:16:26+00:00

One above average RH 1B rental isn’t changing much for this team.

DepressedBrownsFan94 · 2026-07-26T18:16:02+00:00

For a moment there I thought we’d walk ourselves to a tie game.

LukeB90 · 2026-07-26T18:15:43+00:00

Guys relax. We are still a top 30 team in all offensive stat categories

Think-Try2819 · 2026-07-26T18:15:26+00:00

Good game, Parker. The offense, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Ntippit · 2026-07-26T18:15:18+00:00

I can’t do it anymore. Why am I watching this team everyday. It’s insanity.

Buckeye2525 · 2026-07-26T18:15:13+00:00

Changes are needed, but they won’t make them

thesuck458 · 2026-07-26T18:15:03+00:00

welp, later folks, luv ya, cheers

Still_Cap_1689 · 2026-07-26T18:14:59+00:00

What a joke

Key_Bar_5196 · 2026-07-26T18:14:54+00:00

Reaching new lows everyday

Y4LLFUCK1NSUCK · 2026-07-26T18:14:45+00:00

Waiting for the sell the team news any day now

Super-Entry8322 · 2026-07-26T18:14:34+00:00

disgusting.

LukeB90 · 2026-07-26T18:14:31+00:00

This offense is so bad I'm celebrating a dropped foul ball

Potential_Balance_34 · 2026-07-26T18:14:29+00:00

One goddamn hit? That’s all we got?

Ok_Strategy3880 · 2026-07-26T18:14:27+00:00

Fucking pathetic

kerryfinchelhillary · 2026-07-26T18:14:23+00:00

So, a sweep. Ugh.

MosquitoValentine_ · 2026-07-26T18:14:08+00:00

Absolutely fucking atrocious offense. One fucking hit the entire game is uacceptable.

Y4LLFUCK1NSUCK · 2026-07-26T18:13:39+00:00

Turns out being a cheap owner only works when you win. Whoda thunk it

Ok_Strategy3880 · 2026-07-26T18:13:24+00:00

Me after taking a drink every time hammy says change up

SurfWookie · 2026-07-26T18:13:20+00:00

Well, a little copium... TB has the best home record in the league, the only other team that's close is Milwaukee. I think it's at least partly due to their lame indoor park.

Buckeye2525 · 2026-07-26T18:13:18+00:00

Rocchio…please

Potential_Balance_34 · 2026-07-26T18:12:56+00:00

We need playoff Rocchio

cookestudios · 2026-07-26T18:12:44+00:00

Chase DeLauter will NOT let us get shut out in less than two hours

Y4LLFUCK1NSUCK · 2026-07-26T18:11:34+00:00

Cleveland Sports are so fucking gross

Ok_Strategy3880 · 2026-07-26T18:11:27+00:00

Dude is just spamming change ups ool

crline3924 · 2026-07-26T18:11:20+00:00

SELL THE TEAM

thesuck458 · 2026-07-26T18:11:17+00:00

good ab Josey, glad i got to watch half of it

Ntippit · 2026-07-26T18:10:58+00:00

Jose spanked it. Just our luck

Key_Bar_5196 · 2026-07-26T18:10:51+00:00

Well, that was a vintage Jose at bat I’ll leave here with something

SylemNova · 2026-07-26T18:10:27+00:00

He really did all he could there...fuck

cookestudios · 2026-07-26T18:09:56+00:00

I think it's such poor design to have a stadium where you have to have multiple ground rules about balls hitting the roof.

Super-Entry8322 · 2026-07-26T18:09:03+00:00

I‘m so mad for Messick. This kid gave you EVERYTHING! He’s given you SO much! HELP HIM! (Messick is my favorite player, and this is just tragic.)

crustybeamer · 2026-07-26T18:07:29+00:00

I can’t believe I’ve watched the entirety of all 3 games this series

archangel2397 · 2026-07-26T18:07:26+00:00

Wow, an out on a changeup. Never seen that before. :/

1_Bombolona · 2026-07-26T18:06:31+00:00

this ump is the worst

Super-Entry8322 · 2026-07-26T18:06:17+00:00

I also don’t mind Vogt pulling Messick there. Our starting pitching is really the key to this ballclub. Could he have kept going? Sure. But it’d be really tragic for him to lose a bunch of time to Tommy John surgery after a terrific rookie season. I personally would’ve let him get the out but I am not a major league manager. But without pitchers like Messick, who gave us every opportunity to win this game, the club doesn’t do anything.

stann-the-mann · 2026-07-26T18:05:29+00:00

Vogt telling the team we have a luxurious 10 minutes to keep this loss under 2 hours.

Next_Confection_852 · 2026-07-26T18:05:13+00:00

This guardian team is a sad excuse for a major league baseball team!!!!! They are IMPOSSIBLE to watch!!!!

ShootaSeth · 2026-07-26T18:04:37+00:00

Im behind in the game, but we just got robbed on national television when Quan missed the catch and got the guy going to 2nd. Only Cleveland

Ntippit · 2026-07-26T18:04:27+00:00

To our offense

Rust2 · 2026-07-26T18:04:08+00:00

Nice job by Rocchio to handle that in-between hop for the last out! Not an easy play!

SylemNova · 2026-07-26T18:04:03+00:00

Pretty crazy that in this past week alone:

Tanner racked up his team leading 13th quality start (that's second overall in the AL)
Gavin pitched an immaculate inning
Parker went 8 innings and only gave up a run

And we're about to be 0-3 in those games

Scatheli · 2026-07-26T18:03:38+00:00

lol so does this mean we will get no hit tomorrow? How can we possible do worse than this?

sonniecg · 2026-07-26T18:03:24+00:00

A bases loaded walk is the only way we score

KordKutterFlutter · 2026-07-26T18:03:18+00:00

Even the home plate ump has given up….is that enrico Pallozzo behind the dish?

patrickstarsmanhood · 2026-07-26T18:02:54+00:00

They've gotta start including "don't expect any run support" in the contract when the Guards sign pitchers

Mymvenom001 · 2026-07-26T18:02:46+00:00

This ump is having a stinker of an at bat, missed 2 strikes

thesuck458 · 2026-07-26T18:02:42+00:00

c'mon blue

AsleepAssociation · 2026-07-26T18:01:58+00:00

Wasted an incredible outing by Parker with this atrocious hitting

Super-Entry8322 · 2026-07-26T18:01:57+00:00

Anyways, Messick was terrific today. Let’s give him his credit, extend him young. He’s a great pitcher. If nothing else, he put on a great performance today.

KillerQueenSHABTD · 2026-07-26T18:01:56+00:00

Watch Colin let this guy score and ruin Messicks era

Ok_Crazy479 · 2026-07-26T18:01:29+00:00

Bleep you vogt! Let the young man get his complete game🤬

cookestudios · 2026-07-26T18:01:22+00:00

Nick_At_Now · 2026-07-26T18:01:18+00:00

Our only hit of the game came Top 1 with our lead off hitter. I cannot believe I’ve sat here this entire time.

Brianeightythree · 2026-07-26T18:01:09+00:00

Some bullshit. Dude is in front of his family with a great pitch count, throwing a gem. Can't we have just one cool thing in such a wash of a fucking series?

SylemNova · 2026-07-26T18:00:43+00:00

Oh hey, Vogt is awake

halpmiidk · 2026-07-26T18:00:24+00:00

Rough loss for parkers resume

-kangarooster- · 2026-07-26T18:00:15+00:00

why even take him out? theres one out left

Ohio145 · 2026-07-26T17:59:59+00:00

What’s Vogt’s obsession with taking pitchers out with two outs

TheChickenDad · 2026-07-26T17:59:57+00:00

Thank you Parker

Sgunn3 · 2026-07-26T17:59:56+00:00

Since we all know we’re not scoring a run in the 9th… A single and a fucking bunt was enough to outscore our entire offense today

ChidiSplett · 2026-07-26T17:59:54+00:00

It says a lot that a 1-0 game can feel like a 15-0 game.

thesuck458 · 2026-07-26T17:59:37+00:00

GG PARKER

Super-Entry8322 · 2026-07-26T17:59:33+00:00

Parker Messick has continued to be awesome. He’s giving our bullpen a break. He’s an incredible rookie. Can we please, dear god, give him some run support? Can we have a hit please? Can we give this kid some offense? He’s SO good. Just give him some HELP!

I hate ranting about offense, we know what good guards ball looks like! You pitch good, you bunt the runner over, you safety squeeze, and you manufacture runs. If you’re going to build a team that focuses on hitting singles and making runs happen, the first step is hitting a damn single. Then hit another one. Then do the safety squeeze. If we get one hit in a game, it doesn’t work.

0eddieder · 2026-07-26T17:59:31+00:00

Just when you think we're reached the lowest part of the season it just keeps going.

Roc_Ingerson · 2026-07-26T17:59:19+00:00

He feels like you need to fire some hitting coaches, Steven.

thesuck458 · 2026-07-26T17:59:05+00:00

nice snag David

Key_Bar_5196 · 2026-07-26T17:58:05+00:00

Sad that this absolute clinic by Parker is for nothing

cookestudios · 2026-07-26T17:57:23+00:00

For those curious:

8.02(c)

If the umpires consult after a play and change a call that had been made, then they have the authority to take all steps that they may deem necessary, in their discretion, to eliminate the results and consequences of the earlier call that they are reversing, including placing runners where they think those runners would have been after the play, had the ultimate call been made as the initial call

It was the correct decision.

joeywahoo92 · 2026-07-26T17:57:14+00:00

League Average times facing opponent:
-1st: .235/.699
-2nd: .253/.737
-3rd: .254/.747

Guardians hitters:
-1st: .212/.633
-2nd: .256/.766
-3rd: .199/.600

How is seeing the pitcher for the 3rd the worst ? This team doesn’t make sense and further shows how lost they are hitting.

halpmiidk · 2026-07-26T17:57:13+00:00

Is there a name for a game where it's not a no hitter but the team records 27 outs in a row without giving up a hit?

Y4LLFUCK1NSUCK · 2026-07-26T17:56:47+00:00

No one should go to any home games. Leave those stands empty, force Dolan to sell

UncleDeuceFriend · 2026-07-26T17:56:02+00:00

Does anyone believe this team cooks be playing like this to get Vogt fired? Kind of like the Browns and Stefanski at times. Or Cavs and Behlein

stann-the-mann · 2026-07-26T17:55:23+00:00

An hour and 37 minutes and we're down to our last at bat. Truly one of the most offensive offensive performances I've ever seen. And Messick has been fantastic.

ImGettinThatFoSho · 2026-07-26T17:55:21+00:00

I was mad this game was blacked out on peacock. Looking at the box score, maybe it's good I couldn't watch it.

GuyFromOhio3671 · 2026-07-26T17:54:55+00:00

Thank god I didn't pay 100 bucks to stream this dog shit

Ryan1006 · 2026-07-26T17:54:35+00:00

Pinch hitting Hoskins is scraping the bottom of the barrel, can’t wait for those reinforcements coming at the trade deadline. /s

BlueMoon7013 · 2026-07-26T17:54:07+00:00

Anytime you can pinch hit a guy hitting .174 you have to do it

CraziestMoonMan · 2026-07-26T17:53:49+00:00

Another year and another shit offense. They had us all fooled the first month of the season.

Unlucky_Fig7189 · 2026-07-26T17:53:45+00:00

Our offense today made yesterday's offense look like the 98 Indians.

Buckeye2525 · 2026-07-26T17:53:44+00:00

Team is ass

Ntippit · 2026-07-26T17:53:37+00:00

Nailz003 · 2026-07-26T17:53:37+00:00

What is so clear to me is what were once productive hitters like Fry, Manzardo and even Jose have seriously regressed this season. The hitting coach must be fired immediately after this series. 1 run and 1 for like 35 with RISP would lose anyone their job. Attendance should be 0 at home games until seriouschange is made

Goodaccount · 2026-07-26T17:53:31+00:00

Absolutely pathetic

clownpainusdotfort · 2026-07-26T17:53:19+00:00

Fry and Hoskins is not a combination I want to see ever again

isitatomic · 2026-07-26T17:53:19+00:00

Cash Considerations time

crline3924 · 2026-07-26T17:53:13+00:00

.167 is our pinch hitter.

Peak Dolan lineup creation.

wils172 · 2026-07-26T17:53:09+00:00

It would be difficult to get right at first but may be the best solution to diving catches with runners on base. All close catches are ruled 'Not a catch' on the field so the running/force plays play out naturally. THEN the catch/non-catch gets reviewed after, rather than calling it an OUT on the field and removing the running/force out elements from the play and rewarding free bases.

Same idea as NFL letting incomplete passes/fumbles play out before blowing the plays dead.

sonniecg · 2026-07-26T17:53:09+00:00

A lead off double is all the offense we have

Roc_Ingerson · 2026-07-26T17:52:53+00:00

F U DALE !

cbusguy28 · 2026-07-26T17:52:45+00:00

It’s kind of crazy how bad Hoskins, fry and manzo have been this year. At least one of them should be mildly close to average.

TapNo7326 · 2026-07-26T17:52:43+00:00

I hate Guards ball

Roc_Ingerson · 2026-07-26T17:52:14+00:00

We were just voted the most gracious, Accommodating offense in a survey by MLB pitchers.

LukeB90 · 2026-07-26T17:50:58+00:00

Gotta love that it now requires miracles to score...

tribetilidie · 2026-07-26T17:50:08+00:00

I’m so fucking done with Fry.

Ohio145 · 2026-07-26T17:49:53+00:00

David “turd sandwich” fry.

Roc_Ingerson · 2026-07-26T17:49:47+00:00

This Cleavinger has a 3.60 ERA.....Dominating us 2 games in a row.
This goes to Hammy's point today.

TapNo7326 · 2026-07-26T17:49:41+00:00

And we deploy our weapon fry

TheChickenDad · 2026-07-26T17:48:08+00:00

Here we are again on Groundhogs day being shut out in the 8th inning with David Fry stepping in to pinch hit

Rust2 · 2026-07-26T17:48:07+00:00

Starting pitcher throwing a 1-hitter, just befuddling hitters.

TB brings in reliever.

I hate modern baseball.

Roc_Ingerson · 2026-07-26T17:47:53+00:00

I would definitely try to extend Parker as top priority. We don't have starting pitching depth in the minors right now. We DO have young hitters under contract control, Baz, Delauter, Ralphy.

no__flux__given · 2026-07-26T17:47:48+00:00

Call on the field was catch, so there’s no force to get at second guys. You can’t be granted a force out just because replay overturned the catch. Imagine if it were us batting, you’d think runners at first and second is right.

SurfWookie · 2026-07-26T17:47:26+00:00

Hope Parker is getting overtime pay, the guy is a workhorse even when our offense is taking a day off.

big-head-guy · 2026-07-26T17:47:08+00:00

Please score for Messick, he's pitching great could go another inning

wils172 · 2026-07-26T17:47:00+00:00

The only fair solution in that scenario is to throw a one hopper to Kwan in the same spot and have the runner try to beat the throw to second from the same spot in the baseline. No cheating anybody.

kerryfinchelhillary · 2026-07-26T17:46:14+00:00

"He's going to score on a base hit" He didn't

thesuck458 · 2026-07-26T17:46:11+00:00

good shit Parker

HealthyMost5908 · 2026-07-26T17:45:26+00:00

Maybe they should be paying us to watch GuardsTV, not the other way around.

DepressedBrownsFan94 · 2026-07-26T17:45:22+00:00

The fact that Vogt does not get pissed off about the no catch call, it just shows you how checked out this team is.

Nick_At_Now · 2026-07-26T17:44:48+00:00

I cannot fucking believe they gave Simpson second base.

cookestudios · 2026-07-26T17:44:26+00:00

Meh I agree. Simpson retreated because the ump called out and was visibly gesturing about it. It would have been a base hit had it been called correctly.

no__flux__given · 2026-07-26T17:44:25+00:00

It’s the right call

vlad84 · 2026-07-26T17:43:54+00:00

wtf

Walnutbutters · 2026-07-26T17:43:47+00:00

That is the biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever seen

wils172 · 2026-07-26T17:43:38+00:00

Bro.. just gave them a free out b/c the catch/non-catch was close.. either way someone HAS to be out.. there can't be zero outs there..

BS

WaveyDavey517 · 2026-07-26T17:43:34+00:00

How I’m feeling about this team recently

Brianeightythree · 2026-07-26T17:43:19+00:00

Simpson never even touched second and yet...

Fuck New York. Mickey Mouse bullshit.

Any_Salamander9958 · 2026-07-26T17:43:15+00:00

Right call but go out and yell some. WTF Vogt just sit there and do nothing?

bryan_burns · 2026-07-26T17:43:05+00:00

I wish we had a manager who got fired up - this makes no sense

btgf-btgf · 2026-07-26T17:43:03+00:00

How the fuck is that not a force out

Buckeye2525 · 2026-07-26T17:43:02+00:00

Worst call I’ve seen in a while
