    What to do with Yoshida?

    As many have said, he's not blocking anyone in AAA. Yet. It gets a bit more interesting in a few months when the current Sea Dogs get to Worcester, and more interesting still next spring. For now, just let it ride. He's a smart and talented hitter, and he has a chance to make the needed...

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    This is a fun team IMO. The early season-ending injuries to key players makes me doubt we have the depth to seriously contend in 2024, but between the insanity brewing in Portland and the fact that we actually have a good rotation somehow (prayers up for Whitlock's oblique) means that the...

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    So these Guards are second in RS/G and RA/G. Not too shabby.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    Nice at bat from Rafaela against probably the best closer in the league, despite the outcome.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    This combination of ump and pitcher is pretty tough.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    They told us he had soreness in his left (non-throwing shoulder) that was bothering him, and they were staying away from him in an effort not to mess up his mechanics.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    Can I just say how nice it is to watch a good ballgame played in a beautiful ballpark between two fun teams with interesting players NEITHER OF WHICH HAVE AN INSANE RACIST CARICATURE ON THEIR HAT RUINING THE VIBE. Seriously, this Guards team is really fun and very talented. The Jake is lovely...

    MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for 2 years with no pay

    IFG is a great follow on all matters Cubs. Well, this might shock you, but he managed to alienate a bunch of people.

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    IMO, the Guardians play a distinctly watchable brand of baseball. A very fun team. I hope they win the central.

    That mustache looks like it might be load-bearing.

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    At first I assumed you meant Ben Jonson. In a way it's kind of perfect: Jonson's innovation in modern literature, the "humoural" theory of dramatic character, requires that each character in a play be organized around two conflicting "humours," or traits, the struggle between which animates...

    SS possibilities going forward

    I don't really think it's his job to be more than very subtly opinionated about this sort of thing. I see a News/Opinion split between the PBP and Color roles.

    What to do with Yoshida?

    There have also been noticeably fewer pulled ground balls over the last few games. If I'm reading these game logs right, he hit just one ground ball for the home series against Anaheim, off Fulmer yesterday. It's worth remembering that jet lag/travel is probably the biggest difference for a...

    SS possibilities going forward

    If we're moving someone, I'd rather have it be the defensive savant Rafaela than the merely respectable defender in Grissom.
