I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but the Guardians are playing bad baseball. Very bad, in fact.
Completing their seventh loss in nine games to the Nationals, Tigers, Marlins, and Rockies, the Guardians, again, looked mostly lifeless at the plate tonight. The good news is that, rather than getting shut down by a pitcher with an ERA north of 12 as they did on Monday, they were handled by a pitcher whose ERA was only 6.16 entering the game.
José Ramírez scorched one in the first at 104.6 mph that resulted in a double play, because of course.
