Latest news and updates about the Guardians
It was a disaster all around yesterday for the Royals, but some speculation states that the Guardians might’ve been stealing signs from the Royals. Cleveland broke open the game when Ángel Martínez hit a grand slam in the eighth inning off Steven Cruz. Rocchio was on second base and seemed to steal the Royals’ signs. […]
The rubber match of the first Cleveland series of the year will be played at noon like yesterday’s game. The difference is that they are not trying to have the sun help with the frigid temperatures, it is just when the game was scheduled to be, and it will be relatively balmy with much of […]
The reigning World Series MVP took the mound in Toronto on Tuesday for the first time since that fateful Game 7 of the 2025 World Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto bounced back after being dealt a loss in his start against the Cleveland Guardians by tossing six innings of one-run ball while striking out six against the […]
In the second inning, Rookie of the Year candidate Carter Jensen crushed a belt-high cutter to the empty right field bleachers for a line drive home run. The homer was Jensen’s third of the year, and put the Royals ahead 1-0 against their divisional rivals, the Guardians. But that hit turned out to be the […]
It’s my first regular season gamethread of the year. We’ve made it! Last week’s Tuesday was an off day, so it’s the first Tuesday game of the year. Honored to be back. Now, we will all be watching this one from the comfort of our homes and, let’s be honest, offices. But if you made […]
For such a cold environment for a baseball game, the Royals hitters sure seemed red-hot today. I realize that’s not something you usually say after a simple 4-2 victory, but there was a ton of loud contact. Carter Jensen’s home run in the sixth inning was a 111mph scorching line drive that just barely cleared […]
After losing 2 of 3 against the Brewers, the Royals now take a short road trip to Cleveland early this week before returning home to face the White Sox later this week. The weather will be pretty cold in Cleveland for this series, so they’ve already moved tomorrow’s game up in time to be during […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
During the Marquee Sports Network broadcast of the Cubs’ 1-o win over the Guardians in Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader, Jim Deshaies referred to it as the headline reads: “a throwback from 1968.” That year was known as “The Year of The Pitcher,” with runs down all across MLB. The Cubs won four games by […]
Go get ‘em, Edward.
Today’s roster moves: Here I had not remembered a traditional, non-split doubleheader on the road for the Cubs in recent years. The last such doubleheader at Wrigley Field was Thursday, Aug. 3, 2006 vs. the Diamondbacks. So, naturally, I asked BCB’s JohnW53 if he knew. Of course he did! Here’s the answer. The Cubs have […]

If you were hoping to see a Cubs game tonight… you won’t: This is the same storm front that stopped the Cardinals/Tigers game in Detroit this afternoon after eight innings. As of the time of this post, neither team had officially announced any starters for either game, though I would assume Shōta Imanaga and Edward […]
Today’s expected roster move, Cade Horton to the IL and Riley Martin called up, has not been officially announced yet by the Cubs. When it is, I’ll have a separate post on the front page. Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Guardians lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Slade Cecconi, RHP Shōta Imanaga’s first 2026 start wasn’t terrible… […]

The Cubs lost to the Guardians 4-1 Friday afternoon in Cleveland, but that’s not the big story of the day. That, of course, is the apparent injury to Cade Horton in the second inning. Here’s what happened [VIDEO]. Your browser does not support the video tag. It’s really hard to tell what actually went on […]
Go get ‘em, Cade.
Just in case… here’s the Cleveland-area weather radar. There’s a chance of storms there late this afternoon.

Last year […]

The Cubs will be part of their second home opener of 2026, after their own last Thursday, as Friday’s game will be the first 2026 game for the Guardians at Progressive Field. For more on the Guardians, here’s Quincy Wheeler, manager of the SB Nation Guardians site Covering The Corner. Hello Cubs fans! Welcome to […]
Funny thing about baseball. You usually don’t win the game when the other team scores more than you. After sweeping the Arizona Diamondbacks to start the season, the Dodgers lost two-of-three to the Cleveland Guardians. Most concerning at the moment is the lack of production from the offense. In Wednesday’s loss, the top six in […]
A pitcher with such a glaringly high walk rate as Gavin Williams had last season and in his first start is someone who’s playing with fire—while that may eventually prove costly, one only gets to that point if they have the quality stuff to back it up, and that showed as the Guardians beat the […]
The Dodgers play the final game of the first homestand of the 2026 season with their ace on the mound, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Wednesday Game Info
It took two whole seasons for Shohei Ohtani to open the season in the starting rotation, and he showed on Tuesday that he is up for the challenge to post a fully healthy two-way season. Ohtani only went 1-3 with a pair of walks at the plate against the Cleveland Guardians in the Dodgers 4-1 […]
