Well 15 minutes into #SpringTraining and Chase is unable to go. Love the kid’s potential but he’s as durable as cotton candy in a rain storm. And why didn’t they bring in an everyday OF again? @CleGuardians #HopeHeProvesMeWrong @hoynsie @espn @MLBNetwork

In a game to advance to the Georgia State Championship, referee ruled that this play was NOT a catch 😳

@WxShaw Bullet dodged! If only they hadn’t blown their budget on a paperweight of a backup catcher for $4M…$3M over his open market value. #TeamScrooge

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

@MLBNetwork @CleGuardians bullet dodged!

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

@StLouisBlues have scored 1-2 goals in 12 of their last 14 games. During that span they’ve won five times.
Through December 12th 2024 the Blues were 14-14-2.

Sooo @CleGuardians keep talking about how they can’t develop hitters…but they don’t bring in outside hitters with a track record (read ownership are cheapskates) because it will block their young hitters or hinder their playing time?
But overpaid last year 4 Santana & Hedges?

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

Whew! As much of a nothingburger that the Hedges signing was…at least we won’t have another wasted roster spot for Lame Thomas. @Royals woof!
@terrypluto @hoynsie @MandyBell02 @MLBNetwork @oohaw94 @espn

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

Explain this and make it make sense. Clase’s $6M for 2026 is such a tipping point to holding the whole roster salary hostage but throwing away $4M on Hedges was no big deal??

@CLEYoungManny @JLEWFifty …Who plays 40% of the time and makes 3-4 times what your starter does? This would be like paying Schneemann $2M more than Jose. Backups deserve backup money.

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

@drok @JLEWFifty Um maybe he’s tired of the team with great coaches and a team of overachievers not taking the leap to try to win it all? Zero imports at the trading deadline. Blocking Manzardo with Carlos?
This year might have been the tipping point of decline for Jose. Time is of the essence.

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

@JPaulNorton @JLEWFifty @reflog18 Is this a Dolan’s burner account? The teams with clear tangibles are still playing. Carrying a good guy dead roster spot don’t get you further when you’re nearly dead last in the league in scoring.

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

@JLEWFifty @JLEWFifty is spot on. If you like Wedgie with an H so much in the clubhouse…have him do Zoom calls with the guys for dad jokes. His contributions ON THE FIELD bring virtually nothing offensively and with ABS he is not worth $4M. Hard stop. Invest in some offense please.

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

@CleGuardians Nice guy, awful year.

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

This waste of a roster spot had 10 more RBIs than the team mascot. His WAR was -0.3.
It was $90,909.09 for each of the 44 times he reached base.
Baylor reached base 116 times for a fraction of the cost.
@oohaw94 @hoynsie @terrypluto @espn @MLBNetwork

[Cleveland Guardians @CleGuardians]

He's baaaaaack!

We have signed C Austin Hedges to a 1-year deal.

#GuardsBall

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

@CleGuardians To a league minimum deal for his contributions sure. $4M ???? It’s ridiculous and idiotic. They better spend another $25M in upgrades - which they won’t. What a misuse of resources. Dude had 10 damn RBIs for $4M this year. ABS system makes him obsolete anyway.

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

16-4 in September alone

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

Needing to go 41-26 in the second half is a tall order for the unspectacular squad of @CleGuardians
@oohaw94 @MandyBell02 @terrypluto @hoynsie @MLBNetwork

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

3 more wins gets them to that 41 post Allstar break total I mentioned.

[The Freak Show Podcast @STLSportsStalk]

@Coach_LR @BernieSanders Total CYA move by Bernie.
