@Grayson_Wolf_ Conclusion:

This is a gut punch. But it will show the true mettle of this team, one way or another. Either you prove people wrong in these next three series against other wildcard hopefuls, or you drown.

Home against the Blue Jays next. Bounce back.

The Guardians salvage the series finale at home against the Royals, but Cleveland still drops two of three to Kansas City.

Here's my takeaways from this series, Good Bad Ugly style (a thread):

I think @Grayson_Wolf_ said it best on his TikTok recapping the series that, when the season is finished and we look back upon everything, the bullpen will be the unit that did us in.

There have been just way too many games where they have simply dropped the ball for you.

(8/X)

[Nick Colbert @NickColbert3256]

Conclusion:

Back over .500 at 68-66. Entrenched in the final wild card spot. And the schedule is still manageable.

A home series against the Royals next, who (woah) have won 9 of their last 10.

Keep. Pushing.

ANOTHER SWEEP! The Cleveland Guardians are winners of their last seven after a three-game sweep in Anaheim.

Here's my takeaways from the series against the Angels, Good Bad Good style (a thread):

The only counterpoint to this stretch is that the Guardians really haven't played the highest level of competition.

And I don't care.

One, it's hard to get a winning streak in the MLB, and two, after the way this team looked, I'm celebrating anything and everything.

@VulinecJake The question I keep asking, Jake, is what is Shedeur doing when we can't see that is precluding him from being named the starter.

Something has to be happening, because in my mind, there's no other explanation that's plausible.

[Nick Colbert @NickColbert3256]

The other question that is floating around in my mind:

What aren't we seeing from Shedeur?

Most people agree that these two QBs are within the same realm of production and talent... which signals to me that Shedeur is doing something behind the scenes that's hurting his case.

Dipping my toes into the Browns discourse...

Todd Monken and the rest of the decision makers heard what Deshaun Watson said on Saturday, right?

Either the on-the-field stuff outweighed that, which seems unlikely, or they just ignored it all. Either way, not pretty.
