Rick 'Wild Thing' Vaughn taught Cleveland fans as long as you do something colorfully then it's good.
Every team needs a veteran who hits a low batting average but socks enough home runs to maintain value like Russell Branyan, err Mike Napoli, I mean, Rhys Hoskins.
This AB shows Kyle is back as much as any other tonight. He's got that 'I can put the bat on any pitch' swagger like he's mustachioed Jose.

@PatrickThePi The whole team legging out infield singles to set that up then Bazzana hitting THAT pitch to clear?
I'd be going home too if I were them. Our guys clearly are not going to be denied.
@alisonrae22@evasive2k Yes, I haven't charted them (yet), but I noticed the same. I assume it is in direct reference to the account that pretends to use stats to say the Guardians are luck merchants, but ignores base running and defense.
Guardians have insisted on a roster of left-handed hitters for years-but has come home to roost. The lack of legitimate right-handed hitting hampers them constantly. Tonight they have the left-handed lineup in. And they can't hit, either. I don't mean to be cynical. Just honest.
