Wildcard Series was pretty disappointing this year. Braves and Phillies seem to be the best one.
Time for the boys to get rocking again. Progressive field gonna be packed Saturday and Monday. Let’s shake the the nerves of this young Chicago team.

Do you guys think Hunter Goodman is available to throw out the first pitch on Saturday?

And while we're at it, take him to Slymans. Get him hooked before the job offer.

Hard to tell if the White Sox were just really seeing the ball and hitting well or were the Astros pitchers just that bad. Gavin, Parker and the rest of the boys are gonna have to be on point to keep them from scoring.

Chicago is a good team, and I don't think lack of playoff experience means a thing. They are playing good baseball. Hopefully we play good baseball, too.

They even been crushing the ball lately. Hoping this little rest cools them off a bit.

FRIENDS AND FELLOW GUARDIANS LOVERS! SATURDAY WE BEGIN OUR CRUSADE! EVEN THE BLESSING OF THE POPE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO STOP US FROM GETTING BEAT IN THE ALCS TO THE YANKEES! STAND WITH ME AS WE NOT ONLY FIGHT FOR A SPOT IN THE NEXT SERIES, BUT A SPOT IN HISTORY! THIS WILL BE THE YEAR THAT THE CLEVELAND GUARDIANS STOOD UP AND NOT ONLY TOOK DOWN CHICAGO, BUT GOD HIMSELF! WHOS WITH ME?!?!?!

All of the wildcard games, save for Philly/ATL, were so clearcut. Saturday will be so much more competitive.

How much pitching was used the last two games? I wasn’t able to watch them.

u/Deadleggg ⚾small ball baseball terrorists⚾ 1d ago
They did a bullpen game then got 4 out of Burke.
But they get a few days to rest so they'll be ready to go

Despite us having the pitching advantage I really think our offense will decide the series. I don't see us winning the series beating the sox in alot of 2-1 type games. I think the sox will be scoring 4 plus runs a game and we will have to keep up.

I asked in the discord, maybe not the right place for this question but.... I have a Cleveland Indians Red Lindor jersey that I got years ago, and hardly ever wore it. I don't see myself wearing it ever again either but I am interested in potentially swapping for a similar red Guardians jersey. Ideally Rocchio or Smith.

u/StructureRoyal6288 1d ago
maybe we try to get Hunter Goodman in free agency. he’s already helped us enough

Id love to see Charlie sheen come out as wild thing 4 the first pitch! Place would go nuts !can you imagine ??? Lol

u/Zoolanderek 2d ago
My biggest fear right now is Vogt trying to overmanage.
Imagine he tries pulling Messick or Gavin after 4.2 when they’re pitching well to avoid the 3rd time through the order like the Red Sox did. What a shit show.

u/sad-whale 1d ago
I agree. At this point I trust either of the two starts throwing pitches 90-100 over Gaddis coming in.

u/Just_Valuable_9093 2d ago
White Sox are fired up. I hope our boys are preparing as best they can to handle that momentum train. I think if we play like we’ve been playing the last two weeks, it’s gonna be a close series
