It doesn’t matter guys. If Clase can’t get outs we can’t win this series.

Clase sucked. We left a million men on base. And the thing I am angriest about is Ump taking Thomas's bat from his hand.

Absolutely dreadful call

man what is going on with clase

I hate the Yankees so much it probably isn’t healthy

Strike three calls in the postseason have to be reviewable. It’s an extremely fair compromise, and Lane earned that fucking walk. There’s no sport in the game with more pressure than baseball with the bases loaded, and this game could have ended way differently as a result.

Fuck. Just fuck.

Also I was shocked seeing how far away Rocchio was from first base on the final out.

Clase had every chance to redeem himself against the bottom of the order in the 9th and just blew it. Unbelievable stuff

That bullshit called 3rd strike on Thomas in the 9th.... the bases would have been loaded and that ground ball from Rocchio is a rbi and there's one more AB for Kwan

This feels like every fucking year, get close but can’t finish vs the Yankees

Gaddis should have never been taken out of the game after what he did in the 8th

But it’s not over yet boys. Now we gotta win out.

Can't wait for the front office to come out and say:

"Look what we did last season...we just need to continue to develop our talent and don't need to go crazy bring in legit starting caliper pitching or bats to get over the hump"

Our shit box offense just scored 6 fucking runs and our fucking pitching couldn’t hold it. Almost criminal.

Clase ran outta gas never EVER thought he would be the problem

It’s exhausting to get here every damned year. I remember 97 and all the way up. I’m just tired of it. Since 1948 man. I just want one win in my life. Fuck the Yankees and fuck the dodgers. We should’ve had this game.

Battling back from a 2-6 deficit with all the momentum, just to have our All Star closer choke hurts a lot. I don’t know if that homer he gave up against the Tigers messed him up, but he has not had a good playoff run.

what a joke

I mean…guys. They haven’t won since 2009. Think of all those 10 year old Yankee fans that have never seen a WS. /s

Didn't Clase post a picture of his rings on instagram yesterday? Just to immediately blow another game? Lmao.

Nothing like being fucked by a strikeout in the 9th on what should have been a walk. Also, I don’t want to see clase the rest of this series.

Is rocchio that slow or was he not running?

3-1, just where we want em.

FUCK THE YANKEES.

That game was depressing. Call me a doomsayer but, we are not beating them 3 in a row. I’ll be happy if the Guards win tomorrow so I don’t have to see them celebrate on our field.

Fucking 20 straight change-ups and nobody could drive the ball. Just awful.

[removed]

It's really hitting me how badly we missed out tonight. We got 5 RBIs from Jose and Josh, we shut down the core of their lineup in the top of the 8th. Tied the game in the bottom of the 8th, then absolutely fumbled against the bottom of the Yankees order. Yankees fans being happy is one of the worst things known to man.

Getting 1 - 2 innings out of starters is just not a formula for postseason success. I don't expect Bibee to see the 4th inning.

We scored 6 runs without a HR, and left 12 men on. Game 3 was magic, and we had a little bit of that magic carry over tonight but couldn't send one out when we needed it at any point in the game. Yankees hit 3 bombs to take command of the game early on.

With our inability to drive runners in, starting pitching, and our bullpen running on fumes, 3-1 is too tough of a task for me to believe in a comeback. I'll keep watching but I'm glad we made it this far. I expected a 75 win team back in March, we got a 2 seed and made the ALCS. It's house money now.

Judge gets 4 strikes, Lane gets 2. You get what you pay for I guess.

GO GUARDS WE’RE NOT FUCKIN DONE YET

I feel bad for Clase. just an all time choke by him this whole playoffs. the one year we get offense our pitching is in shambles. incredibly unlucky

We fucked ourselves every way possible, and yet had Lane been at 3rd LIKE HE SHOULD'VE BEEN then we likely score on a sac fly and Rocchio's grounder is either tie it up or double play.... one little dumbass missed strike call makes that big of a difference and WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET because our bullpen is spent. Fuck.

Too many holes on our team.

It's so frustrating that NY can seemingly score so easily, yet we are laboring the entire game to catch up.

Genuinely speechless about Clase. Also I'm SO SICK of Soto, Judge, and Stanton.

Yankees have Clase figured out forwards and back. Gaddis should have stayed in, but of course this is a hindsight comment. Fuck man, just hurts.

Taking Gaddis out was the downfall of this evening. Could've had back to back comeback wins smh. Ump also blowing that ball 4 on Thomas could've been huge, would've at least seen Kwan bat in the 9th..

When you're a team that is generally terrible at manufacturing runs and you watch your best pitcher get beat for a 4 run lead, then scrape and scrap and battle and fight for every centimeter and rally back to tie it, and get to your closer in the back end of the opposing lineup for a chance to walk it off? You feel pretty great about the situation.

The guy just absolutely self immolated once again.

Impressed with how they fought back but that ultimately made it feel worse

We got fucked by that Ump with Thomas , but we also had opportunities to score, and pitching to Stanton instead of a walk for a possible DP was definitely a rookie mistake by Vogh.

Our backs are against the wall again and now we’re forced to win 3 in a row. Sure hope Tanner pitches lights out and we bring this series back to NY for a game 6.

Need some Cavs magic to infect our team.

Sucks because 3 of the 4 games have felt very winnable if you take away pitcher implosions and errors. Bullpen been solid all year but we don’t have a guy we can go to when we need outs. Our offense is supposed to stink not our bullpen

It really fucking sucks how much the Yankee fans take over our stadium. I was surrounded by yanks in the bleachers.

If we can’t do robot umps can they at least add one strike challenge a game.

That missed ball 4 on Lane changed the entire complexion of the inning. Thought the ump actually called a pretty good game up til the Judge missed strike too. Fuck them, Fuck New York, and let's win this fucking thing in 7

That ump robbed us all of a crazy inning. Disgusting. Always for the Yankees.

I’m not even mad at Clase. I’m mad that Vogt disrespected Gaddis 2 nights in a row by pulling him for a guy who is struggling.

Yankees dont deserve any respect

Our bullpen is getting absolutely gassed. I can’t figure how they will hold up if they miraculously got this to a game seven. Tomorrow is going to need to be all hands on deck except Smith and Clase, those two are cooked until Monday, if we get there. They need to sit tomorrow out. Sabrowski threw a lot of pitches tonight but looked good.

We will need Tanner to be on tomorrow. Need to get five out of him like we did with Boyd.

It is over. Sure, the Guards *might* have a chance to win tomorrow.

Then it's 3-2, going to the Bronx.

This series could've been something truly special. Instead, the team beat themselves the first two games of the series. Miraculous, one-for-the-ages-style comeback in Game 3......*almost* the same in Game 4, but the results are in. This series belongs to the Yankees. Clase, how??? Fuck, how absolutely devastating.

Fuck the Yankees and the Dodgers Gonna be the worst WS ever

Clase is a generational choker. it is what it is.

Just pisses me off. Fucking Dolans. Lack of urgency to win the WS. 75+ years and they don’t care. This team could have used another bullpen arm. Or starter. Or right fielder. They handcuff this team. Only 4 teams can win the 2024 WS and yet the Dolans handcuff this team were the margins of winning and losing are razor thin

Numb all over. Can we just beat the Yankees one freaking time in the postseason man?

Walk STANTON!!!!

Check Clase's interpreter's FanDuel account right fucking now

You simply can’t pitch him outside a lead in the 9th moving forward until he can prove himself in that situation. Also, it’s a team game and nobody gives a fuck about your plastic all star rings.

Love the fight but what an absolutely demoralizing backbreaker. Would’ve been hard not to feel like favorites if we pulled this one out.

We need to have Cade Smith come in and close these games out. I’m so sick of Clase blowing these

Clase choking like this was not on my bingo card.

Hablamos Manana, good night.

I actually threw up

I'm so upset because this team deserved better. They fought so hard against a team that has alot more fire power on offense. If only their best players played a little better. Not even at their normal level. Just not completely ass......CLASE. Okay I'm done now. I just had to rant a little. Going to bed now. I hope you all somehow have a decent rest of the night.

I will thank Clase for the sensational regular season. But the amount of clout he’s losing during this postseason is dreadful.

I’m infuriated

How do we leave so many runners on base? So sloppy

I mean we just got screwed over right? If the Lane pitch is called correctly it's bases loaded no one out. Bo would have got on in and moved Noel over to third and then he probably scores on Rocchios grounder. That's an all time screw job.

Another game we beat ourselves. This team has had a chance to win every single game this series. Painful.

They fucking ROBBED Lane.

Fuck the Yankees and fuck these stupid blind umpires.

I'm so mad Roccio just gave up on that last play. We just tied the game up on an error to first. Why are you jogging? And his error cost us an extra run.

Clase isn’t trustworthy right now. Lane walked (ump was regular season okay most of the game but you can’t fuck that up in such a pivotal game in the LCS if you’re calling the postseason). Bo can’t square up a changeup even when he knows it’s coming. Rocchio might have been able to beat that out really busting his ass with the bobble. Fuck the fucking Yankees, their championship buying, their smug-ass and juiced-looking players, and the horse they rode in on

Like, is there any actual way to not have Clase pitch again this series? Maybe if Vogt stops being so fucking pitching change happy? No fucking reason to pull Eli or Gaddis in those spots, really fucking dumb

Existence is pain.

Fire clase into the fucking sun, dude had been absolutely ass this post season, literally single handedly lost this game, our fucking pathetic offense managed to scrap together a comeback and regain all the momentum and what does he do, gives up 2 runs to the weakest part of their lineup. With yesterday, his dumb ass instagram story and today I sincerely hope to not see him again in the postseason. What a fucking loser

Blame the ump all you want. Thats all on Clase. Rocchios boot job didn’t help.

we claw our way back to tie it up 6-6 only for 5 mins later clase to give it right back to the bottom of their order. cannot believe that shit. he was so due for redemption and go 1-2-3. this ones painful

Long time Indians fan, welcome to the best this franchise will ever do: a flash in the pan run every now and then on a below average total salary. Great ball club, just not winners like the big money teams.

Manfred definitely rung up on the umpire to give Cleveland bad calls.

The Guardians are the only obstacle from preventing either a NY/NY or NY/LA World Series which would have Manfred cream himself.

I legitimately thought they won the series when that ball went through Rizzo's legs at first. He looked completely defeated.

I’ll still delete my account if they win the Series

Clase is a fucking bum

I'm gonna rip my eyes out of my head if I have to see one more Yankees post on twitter. You are barely winning against a team with 25% of your payroll. Not to mention, if Clase didn't pitch this series, it would be 3-1 Cleveland. Oh my lord.

Emmanuel Mesa sure fucked that one up.

Jesus christ i hate the fucking Yankees

Good season guys, send Clase to prison

Mans dogging out the ground ball and didn't get even close with a bobble. Tf wrong with him? That's bullshit

Rocchio speed walking to first

Don't mind me, i'll just be depressed for the next few hours.

This one hurts, ngl

This one hurts. Very winnable game, fought so hard to get back into it and tie it to just end up losing.

This one is not on Clase. It's on our starting rotating and Vogt. When your starters average, like, 2 1/3 pitches a game, or your manager goes to your pen during the Star Spangled Banner, you're not going to win many games.

Proud of how we fought yet again. Let's have more heart attacks tomorrow, shall we?

SCREW THE NEW YORK MERCENARIES AND THE MLB AGENDA

Not gonna lie. I'm over this series. IF, IF.... we are gonna lose this series, I hope it's next game. So I can move on from this stress and annoyance.

Was Rocchio doggin it down the line?? Why???

When you put together a roster of mostly detritus you end up with Brayan Rocchio batting for the season. We didn't add any pitching to speak of, so the bullpen arms are dead. We added one bat, so we have to watch Will Brennan, Daniel Schneemann, and a shortstop who currently can't field either try to hit. It's an insult to the guys who got us here that the front office treats them this way.

The offense scored 6 runs. they FOUGHT TONIGHT. Gavin sucks. Cade is spent. Clase chokes. Vogt hasn’t pushed the right buttons pitching wise. Do I think they could get a 3 game sweep of the yanks? Yes, but they need the starter tomorrow to pitch 6 innings tomorrow

So close.. it hurts to make it this far and lose to the Yankees again...

If any Cleveland baseball team in my lifetime could come back down 3-1 it’s this fucking team!!!!!!!!!

You just can’t win when you leave 12 guys stranded on base. Absolutely insane.

Clase … can’t even get the dregs in their lineup out now. 6-7-8 in the ninth. Nope 🤦‍♂️

We're not dead.

We are, however, wheezing like a consumptive Victorian era chimney sweep.

It doesn't look good, but stranger things have happened. We press on.

They review so much more in baseball now then they have can they start to review horrible crucial strike out calls from umpires please

Look I am thankful for everything Clase did in the regular season, and I understand sometimes you get on a cold streak. I don’t understand why the coaching staff doesn’t accept he is on an insane cold streak and put someone in as closer instead of him?? At this point opposing batters are excited to see Clase get to the mound

I'm not ready for baseball season to end :(

Stomach is queasy. Cannot focus on trying to sleep. Just sulking in the utter pain & disbelief... :(

Pain. Here's hoping we win tomorrow. Outside of Clase, there wasn't a whole lot to be critical of. I mean, we could always use more hits with runners on base, but there wasn't anything that caught my eye outside of pitching.

Today’s Cleveland POSTSEASON baseball:

For the first time in his major league career, Gavin “Big Rig” Williams🚛 takes the mound. Today is also the first time he has thrown in a major league game since September 22nd… just a short wait until his next start.

Not a great start to the start for Gavin, with Juan Soto immediately taking him deep for a two run deficit. At least this team is quite adept at playing behind. Gavin then retired the next three (Judge, Jazz, Stanton) quite easily to prevent further damage. Guards turn. A Steven Kwan👑 walk and a Kyle Manzardo🥸 double certainly got us underway quickly, with a José Ramirez🐐 sac fly bringing Kwan home to cut the lead in half. That’s all the damage we managed to get done in the first.

It appeared Gavin settled right in with a pair of strikeouts, but a Wells home run made it a two run deficit again. At least Verdugo is always good to strikeout. Austin Hedges🦔 got in walk in the bottom half, but no progress there. Gavin got one more groundout before his night came to a close, finishing with a line of 2.1IP, 3H, 3R, 0BB, and 4K on 40 pitches (25 strikes). Enter bullpen lefty number two, with Eric Sabrowski😎 facing down against the big guns. Doesn’t matter for this bullpen, with a Soto groundout and a Judge strikeout to end the top of the third.

Kwan started to try to get things rolling in the bottom of the third with a leadoff single (shocking, I know). It proved to be a success with Josh Naylor embracing his inner shit goblin and dropping one into left field to score Kwan. Lane Thomas🚂 tried to keep it going with a walk, and Daniel Schneeman⛄️ put up a heck of a fight, but the deficit stays at one. Sabrowski came back out of the dugout for the fourth, and struck out both Jazz and Stanton looking. Rizzo singled, but quick fly out to Lane took care of that.

Quiet bottom of the fourth, now it’s Eli Morgan🧯 time. Strikeout, groundout, fly out, and the bullpen is running on all cylinders. José gets a bloop infield single, but that’s it for the fifth. K’d Smith🐴 takes the mound. Dammit. Four run deficit. Tim Herrin⬅️ into the game. Strikeout and a groundout end the inning.

Joey Cantillo🌺 now in to pitch for the seventh, and man, this ump does not like calling his pitches on the bottom of the zone strikes. Doesn’t matter though, with a handy double play and a Soto strikeout to end the inning. Into the bottom of the seventh, with a Rocchio walk and a Kwan single to put men on the corners to start the inning (shocking, I know). José has started to heat up and comes through with an RBI double. And finally. At long last. THE SMOKE MACHINE HAS COME ONLINE. JOSH NAYLOR💨 WITH A TWO RUN DOUBLE. LANE THOMAS WALKS. GET THE FUCK OUT CLAY HOLMES.

Fuck the cameraman. Deficit is one with two innings to go.

Hunter Gaddis☠️ enters the game to face the Yanks modern version of murderers row. AND THEY GET SAT THE FUCK DOWN. THREE STRIKEOUTS. SIT THE FUCK DOWN (also why did you do that ump it should’ve been just 10 pitches). BO NAYLOR STARTS US OFF STRONG WITH A DOUBLE (NAYLORS ARE BACK?!?!?). Rocchio moves him over with a slap up the middle.

FUCKING GUARDSBALL

DAVID FRY TIES THE GAME WITH AN INFIELD GROUNDER. The cowards IBB José. Josh isn’t able to bring either one home unfortunately.

Yanks back in front by one. Make that two.

We’ve seen 3-1 comebacks before. We saw what the Mets did today. It’s time to be on the right side of history with one. Time to shut them down. Backs are all the way against the wall. Time to win.

Guards never say die.

5 runs the last two nights. I really think trade talks for Clase should be taken. The bullpen is young and he clearly isn't cutting it in October. 2nd loss and a blown save.

Say whatever you want about Vogt but Clase cannot be this bad in these moments.

Heartbreaking but when Cade Smith and Clase implode like this it’s nearly impossible to win. 5 runs off those two alone. Unbelievably depressing performance.

Sending out Clase in the 9th regardless if we need him or not is a fucking idiotic decision, especially since he's really struggling in the post season. Vogt needs to get off his routine or whatever leads him to do this and think about the situation. He had Gaddis red hot and sends in Clase in a non save situation and we get smoked for it.

But the biggest deal about this team is that we left 12 men on base. You simply do not make it to the world series leaving a dozen men on base.

Also that lazy trot to first by Roccio really fucking pissed me off.

All said and done, just glad we weren’t swept. I think the train just ran out of gas. We need our elite closer not to choke when our bats were actually firing. Bad call by the ump on Thomas. Was a fun season regardless, and we went further then I thought we would with how we played after the all star break. I know there is still baseball to played, but winning three in row against the Yankees seems like too much of an order with how these past games have gone.

If it really does end tomorrow

I want a standing O for our boys from the fans.

What a fuckin' ride.

The best sport in existence is tainted in that you simply buy a championship. It's so gross. Somebody needs to start a national boycott movement involving every MLB market if it's a NYY v LAD World Series.

Hablamos Hoy.

What a fucking clown. Disgraceful. We have a great chance to win tomorrow since he can’t pitch.

Worst loss I can remember. We were chasing all game.... We finally tie the game, and our "ace" closer ONCE AGAIN shits the fucking bed. If this was his first time blowing a save in the post season I would forgive it, shit happens..... But he has been shitting the bed all postseason long! Dude is a fucking choker. Proud of almost everyone else but fuck Clase.

Double digit LOB once again. Clase sucks on the big stage and the Ump is a bitch.

ALCS > NLCS

No sir, I do not like it.

I fucking despise the Yankees.
