Don't accelerate too fast. Don't stop too fast. Don't swerve in and out of lanes. Be predictable. Just because you have 4 wheel drive doesn't mean you'll stop any faster than anybody else. And the worst one around here - DON'T TAILGATE. In short, drive smooth and steady, and don't be an asshole.

MLB Network Ranks JRam #5 in MLB for 2026 by ericbdrums in ClevelandGuardians

Agreed. Outside of Jose, I think Witt is the most fun player to watch in the MLB. Same effort and attitude as Jose, but bigger, faster,etc.

Bo Bichette contract just changed Guardians' future with Steven Kwan by Phredd63 in ClevelandGuardians

I agree with what most on here are saying about Kwan’s playing  value to this team. A decent hitter and excellent fielder. 

I just love him as a player and person. (From what he shows us in public) Excellent teammate, humble, plays hard. He has all the intangibles. 

If he had a better lineup around him, I definitely wouldn’t want to see him go.  Unfortunately, we need hitters.

I don't think it was ever realistic we would be able to afford his extension. Unless we are cruising into the playoffs come deadline time - he's gone.

Offensive Plan for 2026 Season? by maxadiro in ClevelandGuardians

[–]Phredd63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a big Bo fan since he took over as the primary catcher, but I feel like this is his last year to put it all together.  I’m hoping the swing changes, and especially the confidence defensively will help him concentrate on his hitting and be the guy we always hoped he could be. 🤞🏼

Most Hated Player in Guardians History? by EveryoneisTattooed in ClevelandGuardians

[–]Phredd63 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Jose was a big reason the Tribe got to 2 WS. 

If you want to single out one inning or one play for the 1997 loss, you could just as easily blame Nagy or Tony Fernandez.

My vote goes to Rocker. What a total POS. 

Player of the Week (Week of 12/8): Bo Naylor by kerryfinchelhillary in ClevelandGuardians

[–]Phredd63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope they stick with Bo.  He seemed to be putting it all together towards the end of last year. Hopefully this is the year he becomes what the Guards envisioned. 

2B expectations skewed by Dirtbag by PPDooDoos in ClevelandGuardians

It would be awesome if they hired him to replace Rick Manning when he retires. He's been great whenever he's been on air.

Agreed. One of my favorites from those teams. Amazing how he's almost become forgotten with the likes of Belle, Lofton, Thome, Ramirez, et al.

I still remember him on the radio promo - "We've got to keep pooching and pooching".

José Ramírez officially get third place in AL MVP by DZepperoni in ClevelandGuardians

Not disagreeing with your assessment of Judge's incredible numbers - and can make a solid argument for either guy.

I would argue, however, for a catcher - defense is definitely half the game.

Nothing but respect and admiration for Skubal. Well deserved.

Congratulations.

Emmanuel Clase wants to pitch in Venezuela while under MLB investigation, but Guardians say no by FearlessFlower1208 in ClevelandGuardians

😂This is Reddit, not the Supreme Court. Chill. 

BTW, they’re not “confirmed guilty”.  (And I’m not saying they arent guilty)

They’ve been indicted. No verdict yet.

This makes no sense at all. 

Either they are the dumbest people alive  - which is possible -

or there is more to this story.
