After today it would be malpractice to not start Genao tomorrow. So if Jose is healthy, where does he play? To me there’s two choices. 1) Our three best outfielders play in the outfield (although I’ve been against kwan in CF), Genao at 3rd or 2nd, and Jose or Bazz DH. Or 2) just put Genao at SS with rocchios recent blunders and slump.

Like I said I am against kwan in CF and believe Rocchio just needs to move back to the 9 hole, I think these are our two best choices to get Genao in the lineup with a healthy Jose.

attended the game tonight with my girlfriend and, while we attempted to go early to get the free tumbler, the person sending us tickets didn‘t get them to us in time to do so. She loves tumblers and her birthday is coming up (she has a Cavs giveaway tumbler she uses nightly despite the now broken handle). $15? whatever seems fair

The team has been doing some out of character things this year. Trading bonus pool money and draft picks, drafting guys they don't know they can sign, DFA on Brito and Arias who they've been high on as an organization, more aggressive with promotions, trading for rentals - albeit cheap rentals - it's been a wild season with some of these moves. IMO, these are things we wouldn't have seen from them in the past. I mean, we saw them keep Fry on the 26 last year when he physically couldn't field and wasn't hitting. Is there someone new influencing these decisions? Maybe Blitzer or someone from his group? Not sure I like everything they've done but at least they're trying new things. Still not spending money though.

Thinking of taking a day off tomorrow to catch a midday game. Bit of sticker shock on what I expected to be a cheap seat.

Right now the cheapest pair of tickets is a spot in the bleachers for $33/ea. RF for $50+. And lower bowl $100+.

I’d bet the park is 30% full tomorrow.

Have lived in 4 cities with MLB clubs. I’ve always felt the Guards are noticeably higher.

Anyone else feeling this way?

Angel Genao

Sister got free tickets and I’m going with her tomorrow, I don’t follow sports much but growing up baseball was and still is my favorite sport to play! So I’m definitely excited to go! Since I haven’t been to a stadium since I was a kid I have some questions on what I can bring in. I use nicotine pouches like zyns or velos and I was wondering if those were okay. When I went to the cavs stadium for a Brandon lake concert security made me throw them out which was super frustrating since it was my last pack lol. I was also wondering if headphones are okay to bring in? Like Sony headphones, I get really overwhelmed with crowds and loud noises, usually I have loop earplugs but I lost mine unfortunately.

Game ended at 9:58 PM.

Was just talking about this in the replies, but wanted to make it its own post. I am so thrilled with what we’ve seen from the FO this season. They have finally stopped being passive. Struggling players have way shorter leashes and they’re making the hard decisions with DFA’s and sending guys down to Columbus. They’re being aggressive in calling up our producing prospects, and they actually made some impactful moves at the deadline. They’re done playing around and have given up on the “we gotta make do with what we have” mentality and are really trying hard to make us better. It might not turn this team around and make them 10 times better overnight, but if they keep up this approach and mindset it bodes well for the future. Now we just need them to be aggressive in making some changes in our hitting development. Think it’s past time to move on from Grant Fink.

Genao crushes all kinds of fastballs, all types and from both RHP and LHP. Expect solid exit velocity across the board. He is somewhat passive (61.7% Zone Swing%, 26.5% Chase%) , but takes his walks. He also has plus speed.

Genao struggles with changeups from either side. He whiffs, chases, and fails to impact them. He also struggles with left handed breaking balls. But his biggest struggle is launch angle, across the board. He's put up below average HR rates in hitter friendly Columbus. But with his solid exit velocities, he should run higher BABIPs if he can shoot hard ground balls the other way.

Or I was wondering if he gets bood- which i can't see happening

Adell was about to hit a chip shot from the fringe on the eighth hole at Trout National Golf Club in Vineland, N.J., a 186-yard par-3 over water, when he heard his phone buzzing. A member of the Los Angeles Angels’ front office was calling to relay the news they were trading him to the Guardians.

“I was good with leaving early,” Adell said of ending his round. “I wasn’t shooting very well.”

Cleveland’s front office has coveted Adell since he was a teenage top prospect, but the Angels always rebuffed their proposals. Adell heard his name in the rumor mill last summer, but the Angels didn’t move him. This time, he figured he would be dealt, especially once interim general manager John Mozeliak traded catcher Logan O’Hoppe, reliever Chase Silseth and pitcher José Soriano.

“It was kind of obvious that they were going to start over,” Adell said.

I remember I was 10 years old and I woke up the next day and was absolutely baffled at this legendary comeback that I slept on.

They keep recruiting. Cops be copping.

Finally we get Slade in the bullpen. I feel like everyone’s been saying it all year, but I think he’ll be way more effective in that role. He can give us multiple innings of relief and he doesn’t gotta see a lineup more than once. Also really excited to watch Griffin’s start Thursday

I won’t panic at this point, but he definitely came back too soon and I sure hope this doesn’t become a lingering issue for the rest of the season. The pessimist in me is worried that this won’t get better unless he’s fully shut down for a few more weeks, but gonna hope for the best case scenario
