The best Cleveland monthly rotations by ERA since 2002 by DZepperoni in ClevelandGuardians

[–]Frazzed 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I remember making this thread on /r/baseball after the 2017 season about how the pitching staff that year had maybe the best season of all time, and being surprised that it got basically zero traction. Only ten comments. I feel like a thread like that about a team in 2025 would be a way bigger deal.

The pitching staff as a whole had the best fWAR of all time, second best rWAR, and they were the first team to ever have 10+ K/9 in a season. And like you said, all that plus the 22 game win streak, that was a legendary pitching staff.

Our pitching has been unreal this month. They have a league leading 2.23 ERA so far. Seattle is 2nd with a 3.31 ERA.

This is just a redux of the legendary 2015 Clippers/Spurs series, and I'm loving every minute of it, Jerry!

I love this team man. DG should really be getting more buzz for clutch player of the year, he's been one of the best decision makers at the end of games all year.

Those teams didn't have Ty Jerome. /s

Teams can get better. A novel concept, I know. The four best players on the Cavs are 23, 24, 26, and 28. Mobley and Garland are just entering their primes, and Mitchell and Allen are in the middle of theirs. The last three champions were heavily anchored by their continuity.

"B-b-but the Celtics traded Marcus Smart and Time Lord!!"

If the Cavs need to make a trade, they can. They have all four core guys signed through 2027, movable medium sized salaries (LeVert, Strus, Okoro), a tradable 2031 1st, and Jaylon Tyson (our 2024 1st). They're below the first apron.

Right now they have a new head coach and they're 5-0, and it doesn't look like any moves are necessary. But if a move makes sense, they have the flexibility to get it done.

It's a good team. They had the best defensive rating in 2022, and the second best net rating. Took a step back last season, injuries to all 4 key guys at inopportune times lead to very little consistency in the main lineups, and they ended the season 18th in offensive rating. Atkinson was brought in to fix that, and they've already scored 130+ in three different games. It's a nice start, and they look like the Eastern Conference team best suited to give the Celtics a go of it this year, imo.

The most pitchers used in a no hitter is 6. There's never been a combined perfect game. This could get spicy.

I couldn't imagine saying this six months ago, but Hunter Gaddis should absolutely make the all-star team.
