The Guardians push it to the limit. I think they would give the Rays a tougher time than the White Sox, but am still hoping for a miracle turn around by those Pale Hose.
Again though, the Guards have been a consistent contender in recent years and have a great organization. Went to a game in Cleveland in 2024 and really enjoyed it – nice venue and passionate fans. They played the Tigers that night and the Detroit battery was former Cardinals Jack Flaherty and Carson Kelly.
Obviously the Guardians have seized the momentum in this last standing division series and are now the favorites. An all road win series thus far.

Welli think boone messed up in the game wednesday. I think when fried gave up the hit leading off the 6th i believe, he should have taken fried out. Instead he left him in and bang you have a 2 run homer. During season i believe you ride tbe starter out there. But in the playoffs esp with an elimination game you have to go with the probabilities. A pitcher starting his third time through order vs a new pitcher. Sure the reliever could give the homer up but that would be om him not the manager. Fried had done his job to that point but in playoffs you have to manage in the moments. To me rays were better team so in the end prob wouldnt have mattered.
