John Stevens

Former coach for the Dallas Stars and LA Kings (as far as you know.) XU. MKTG. Beer. Pokemon. Bad sports opinions. Cleveland is the Reason. He/Him. #coys

Update: very much did the damn thing.

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

So yeah I did the damn thing.

[Covering the Corner @CovertheCorner]

@CespedesBBQ Loved the pod as always

Wish I could find the article but one of the baseball data analysts found that given the winning Cleveland has done since 1994, we should have like 2.8 titles by now. That's part of the pain here... to have been so close so often

[Chris DeRose (ScratchyDerose.bsky.social) @ScratchyDerose]

In a heartbeat

Americans realising they’re going to spend $400B to open a shipping lane they closed.

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

@symmering Good news, there is no game today.

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

Angel, Chase, and Jose all likely to be on the bench or on the IR today.

Today's Guardians lineup as a result:

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

What do you even say for the Guards today?

Jose out 2 months. Likely some short stays for Chase and Angel on the IL. A scramble to get guys up here and get the guys who are up here to step up.

It's gonna be a butt-clenching remainder of this summer for CLE.

[Zack Meisel @ZackMeisel]

José Ramírez has a left hamate bone fracture. He’s headed to the IL.

[Sarah ⚾️ @sarahknowsball]

new rule: no guardian is allowed to challenge until the 9th inning

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

Strap Vogt and every single Guards player in a room over All Star Break and go full Clockwork Orange, showing all these bitches challenges over and over until they get it.

[La Mole @FranmilsEyebrow]

Guardians hitters shouldn’t be allowed to use a challenge for the rest of the year.

Pathetic choices.

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING

[Zack Meisel @ZackMeisel]

And now José Ramírez has exited the game.

Cleveland has lost three position players in five innings.

Rhys Hoskins is playing left field for the first time in eight years.

[Tim Stebbins @tim_stebbins]

Chase DeLauter has exited the game after hitting a single off Skubal. He appeared to be grabbing toward his right side as he got to first base.

DeLauter crashed into the wall trying to snag a Torres double in the bottom of the first.

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

Rhys Hoskins needs to not be regularly seeing at-bats by the time June comes.

He is swinging at concepts of pitches.

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

And within three batters, Angel Martinez gets plunked on his injured foot and now Chase DeLauter hurt as well.

Cool.

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

Sports are silly and dumb and also awesome.

Got to surprise some fans sitting in the last row with a once in a lifetime experience! 🙌

like HELLO LMFAO

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

Look, the Espino story is great for the Guards.

That said, he's got amazing pitches but he lacks control and I'm so afraid about his physical capabilities at this point. I imagine the leash isn't going to be long, I'm just more impressed he got up here at all.

[¹¹ @JRamEnjoyerr]

Just looked at his AAA stats

[Joey- Cade Smith enjoyer @GuardsJoey]

Long journey to get to this point

This is a story that just makes you feel good

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

Aguilar. Urshela. Naquin. Gonzalez. Zimmer. Allen. Mejia. Mercado. Bauers. Bradley. Johnson. Chang. Miller. Gonzalez. Jones. Freeman. Brennan. Naylor. Tena. Noel. Rodriguez. Halpin. Brito. Valera.

Something in the hitting coaching absolutely needs to be overhauled.

[John Stevens @johnnyfire817]

I know everyone wants the Guardians to call up a prospect today.

The bigger concern has been that those prospects, basically for a decade+, keep getting called up and running into the wall.
