The Guardians lost a baseball game today.
David Fry hit a two-run homer. Travis Bazzana had another hit and scored on that homer. Angel Martinez had a double and a walk and Fry added another hit. Other than that… bupkis. I can go the rest of my life and not see the Guardians look pathetic against Michael Wacha again and I’ll be a happy man.
Tanner Bibee was good… except for one absolutely dreadful inning. In the fourth, he gave up a leadoff home run to Bobby Witt Jr, then a double to Vinnie Pasquantino, then a single to Salvador Perez that will likely later be changed to an error on Travis Bazzana. Bazzana just plain missed it. Through the wickets. Yikes. Then a single to Carter Jensen and a walk to Lane Thomas. And, after all that, Bibee almost escaped with the game tied but an 86 mph groundball snuck through the infield and he had surrendered four runs.
After I staked my claim that I think Matt Festa and Connor Brogdon are better pitchers than Peyton Pallette, Pallette looked electric today and Festa gave up a bomb to Jac Caglianone and Brogdon gave up a run after a Rocchio error.
Bleach. Got a find a way to win these next two because I do not want to be trying to win that last game on Thursday against Seth Lugo who is even worse to face for the Guardians than Wacha. The Royals have won 8 out of 10. The Guardians… have not. And are back at .500. Tomorrow is another day.
