Thoughts for a Saturday Morning

 The Gzurdians have made it all the way to the ALCS and have a 2-1 lead.  Weather permitting, we will know sometime in the next 4 days if they are going to the World Series.

The decisions by the Guardians front office and coaching staff have certainly worked to a level that a lot of us didn't think possible. 

I personally want to say it has been a great ride and as I can see a lot further in my rear view mirror than I can out of my front windshield, I want to say thank you to everyone involved with the Guardians.

Besides great consternation, frustration and aggravation, they have brought me great joy and a great pride in my hometown and it's baseball team.  

So, guys (and gals) I wish you the best of luck in the rest of your season.  Making it to the World Series would be a great accomplishment and for us gray hair types, winning the whole darn thing would be the gift of a lifetime for an old baseball devotee like me.

Potpourri

  • Welbyn Francisca is lighting it up in Arizona.  As the AZL represents a good level of AA ball, this bodes well for a guy who isn't even R5 eliigble this year.  Gotta love the potential there and it looks like he is on the steep part of the learning curve

  • It will be interesting to see what happens this winter.  I would like to retain Ben Lively on the 2nd year of his minor league deal so he can continue his rehab and be fully ready when the season starts. What a pickup for the Guardians.

  • Would love to know how the instructional league is going and how our 2026 draftees, especially Savion Sims, look. I still think we screwed up that draft and should have gone heavy on college pitching but, oh well.
