News and Notes for Thursday, June 26th, 2025.
The Cleveland Guardians walked it off last night in extras. José Ramírez had the honor of getting the game winning RBI after another masterful bunt from David Fry loaded the bases. Read the full, exciting recap here.
Cleveland sports radio continues to disappoint fans with their condescending assumptions. This time they were joined by Andre Knott who shared his opinion on why the front office has yet to call up Chase DeLauter. Unfortunately this is being shared because Chris Antonetti joined Andre on the broadcast during last night’s game and gave vague platitudes about why DeLauter hasn’t been called up. The typical response, DeLauter’s health, is the best he could provide.
Listened to Antonetti and the broadcast team discussing DeLauter. Disingenuous for Antonetti who emphasizes not blocking their young talent every time he is asked about adding to the team to make excuses for not promoting that talent. And then to laugh at fans who want to see CDL
