@queerpointyears.bsky.socialChase, da launcher!!! #Guardians down 1-2.
Also, Lowe's speed has hurt us twice this game already - held himself to a single earlyamd stopped him from going first to third, and could've otherwise won the footrace here in the 6th.
@exiledclevelndr.bsky.socialRays defense has robbed the #Guardians of 4 hits and who knows how many runs. Looming large in what’s now a 2-1 game in the middle of the 6th.
@misterz03.bsky.social@exiledclevelndr.bsky.social#Guardians were shutout in Game 1 of the ALDS. That won’t be the case in Game 1 of the ALCS, as DeLauter leads off the 6th with an opposite field homer that just cleared the fence in right to make it 2-1.
@daveyberris.bsky.socialLiterally as I’m typing it DeLauter goes Oppo Taco!!! Keep up those swings boys!!!
@makesmewannauke.bsky.socialAlways did like Chase DeLauter
#Guardians
@daveyberris.bsky.socialThe #Guardians pitching can keep them in this. They’re a bloop and a blast away from flipping all the momentum over to their dugout.
We need a hero to convert one of these scoring opportunities, you just have to Believe!

@queerpointyears.bsky.social1-2-3 for Espino!!! Fantastic appearance. So happy for him! #Guardians
@exiledclevelndr.bsky.socialEspino works an impressive 1-2-3 inning striking out the side in the 5th. Will be interesting to see how Vogt handles the next 4 innings if the #Guardians continue to trail this game.
@exiledclevelndr.bsky.socialDon’t love Vogt pulling Griffin after only 4. I know he’s trying to avoid a 3rd trip through lineup, but Griffin had settled in, Rays don’t hit lefties well, and #Guardians pen is overworked after that ALDS.
@exiledclevelndr.bsky.social#Guardians now 0/4 with runners in scoring position through 4 innings in the ALCS.
@exiledclevelndr.bsky.socialRays are making some very good defensive plays that have cost the #Guardians probably a couple runs already. Good news is Guards have 5 hits and have made Rasmussen work. Bad news is they haven’t found a way to score yet.
@queerpointyears.bsky.socialDe Lauter moved Kwan to second, now Adell needs to get him in. A hit means a run. #Guardians
@queerpointyears.bsky.social1-2-3.
He locked the fuck in. Single digit pitches.
My wildest dream for this series is Cleveland clinches at home. I think they need to win 1 of these games at TB regardless. Would be nice if it was this one, but they're down 0-2. Still early. #Guardians
@exiledclevelndr.bsky.socialA 7 pitch 2nd inning for Griffin much needed there for the #Guardians starter.
@exiledclevelndr.bsky.social#Guardians have four hits over two innings (and I thought off the bat Petey’s was a double, but the Rays OF made a nice play), but no runs to show for it.
@queerpointyears.bsky.socialLowe and Bailey on base, and no double-play? No runs for the #Guardians in the second, but this good contact is still encouraging.
Now Griffin needs to Lock. The. Fuck. In.
@finleycordain.bsky.socialTampa Bay #Rays jump out to a 2-0 lead over the #Guardians after one. In the regular season, Cleveland averaged 1.33 runs/game against the Rays.
