Guardians fans were an angry bunch yesterday. First, Kyle Manzardo was optioned to AAA. Additionally, because yesterday was Tuesday, Triston McKenzie was the Cleveland starting pitcher. McKenzie has been much better than he’s been given credit for this season, but his start last night was quite bad.
Despite hitting like a mixture of Abe Almonte and Billy Hamilton (So many doubles! Not many homers! So many fly balls!), Manzardo is a fan favorite. But somebody needed to be sent down when Jose Ramirez was activated from the Daddy List, and Kyle it was.
The pitchforks stayed out because the Guardians did not play very well last night.
