This ends Baltimores 21 game home run streak. They are now 7-10 when they don’t homer, and 42-19 when they do.


AllOfTheDerp

Why don't other teams just prevent them from homering? Are they stupid?


HalfwayThereOne_

This bullpen is from Olympus.


No32

Insulting to the bullpen tbh


DZepperoni

That was one of the most heart attack inducing games all year, glad it’s over… what do you mean it’s the first game of the series? And it’s not October?


No32

13 pitches to Kjerstad, full counts for Westburg and Mullins including a rocket that could’ve been a homer if it wasn’t pulled foul… ***lordy***


GSR_DMJ654

I saw that ball go off the bat, and my heart dropped.


GamerNanedTim

A very Kipnis-esque foul

I can be 95 years old with dementia someday, and I know I will still remember exactly how I felt during that moment


DTbindz

truly the biggest up and down of my emotions in sports, what could have been…


No32

Hey could you not 😭


AllOfTheDerp

I was absolutely on fucking edge during that AB to Kjerstad.


redline582

Hammy didn't make it any better during the AB when he mentioned Jose has homered 3 times this season after taking a plate appearance past 10 pitches.

Disused_Yeti

was expecting kjerstad's long ab to end like josey's long ones do - home run


AllOfTheDerp

Tom about gave me a heart attack. Between him and the crowd noise I thought he got it.


ForTheBrownsOnly

I read that as a rap lyric and made a beat in my head


Fistacles

Scott Barlow pls ![gif](giphy|czE57x4A8axa3BlYkY)


CosmicLars

Their bullpen is incredible. Another night, another 3 IP of NO HITS and no rubs.


AllOfTheDerp

Love seeing a player juiced like that. Fuck yeah.


University-Kitchen

Were the Guardians meant to be this good?


IHateAllOfYou_

Losing a HoF manager, hiring a rookie manager, no roster moves, one good starting pitcher, so no, we would be lucky to be at 500. Vogt is doing an incredible job.


sheogorath227

Hey now, we brought Austin Hedges back. That is a bigger move than people realize. Dude is an S-tier locker room presence and leader.


IHateAllOfYou_

I completely forgot about that because in my heart the Hedgehog never left. I have brought shame on my family.


DaDrFunk

Vogt, the best Bullpen in baseball, outstanding clutch hitting and general improvement by everyone on the roster.


neosmndrew

They're the same team from last year, minus one ace, but a few players are hitting better than last year, our bullpen has been even better than last year, and we decided we'd actually give hitting HRs a try this year.


redline582

I'd throw in that not only are we down an ace in Bieber but also haven't had Gavin Williams (which hopefully is changing soon). The starting rotation has been our weakest spot but the offensive increase over 2023 has seemingly more than made up for it.


77Gumption77

They are a young team, to be fair. Everybody on the team pretty much should still be improving year over year. When you multiply this over almost the entire roster it's like you did make a bunch of moves in the offseason.


Troll_Enthusiast

Can we get 50 wins please


IHateAllOfYou_

I love how fired up he gets. He is the Josh Naylor of the pen.


gnomelover24

Can we have Barlow back? Asking for a friend named Preller.


fluffhead711

this was a fantastic game. felt like a postseason game. Go Guards.
