The Guardians have won the Luis Ortiz Revenge Game and the Ben Lively Beats Your Ace game; now all they have to do is back their best starter (by ERA) in Logan Allen today to sweep the Pirates.
In case you haven’t heard, Twitter is ablaze with the comments of ignorant fans blaming Jose Ramirez for tagging Enmanual Valdez after the player lifted his hand off of third base after a leadoff triple for the Pirates in the bottom of the ninth. Of course, this isn’t t-ball, professionals don’t not make outs because another player is hurt, but it is absolutely clear from this replay that Ramirez had no way of knowing Valdez was hurt.
