I wish Kevin Gausman all the worst
The Guardians lost 6-0 to the Blue Jays today and Jose Ramirez had to leave the game after being hit by the petulant Blue Jays who won this game despite being poor sports. Life isn’t just.
I hope Kevin Gausman stubs his pinky toe tonight.
Tanner Bibee pitched well… except for a third inning from heck in which Kyle Manzardo made three errors. Yes, you read that right. Manzardo had actually been fine defensively before this, but he was decidedly not fine today and LOOKED like a player who has logged only six games at 1B in the past 24 days.
The Guardians demoted Nic Enright after his great performance yesterday for Zac Kent to get a fresh arm. I would argue this is not only a stupid baseball move; it is also a horrific vibes move. The pen was not taxed enough to make this an issue and now Enright is stuck in Columbus for 10 days when he could be actually helping this team win ballgames and taking the gas can out of Kent’s hands that he always brings to the mound with him. He allowed two runs today when Kolby Allard gave them up. Allard’s run was cute while it lasted.
I hope both sides of Kevin Gausman’s pillow are always warm. And uncomfortably and inexplicably moist.
The Guardians hit Vladimir Guerrero twice in two days. Neither was remotely intentional. But Guerrero left the game with a bruise today so Kevin Gausman, who absolutely owns Cleveland, hit Jose Ramirez in the arm and removed him from the game. Stephen Vogt yelled things at the Blue Jays dugout but I think I’d have preferred he started the benches clearing. Ramirez has a bruise and is day-to-day. I don’t believe in the Guardians retaliation but I hope their pathetic effort today pushes them to better effort in the future.
They should call up Chase DeLauter if only for the entertainment value. And Kevin Gausman should accidentally drink a mouthful of spoiled milk tonight.
