The Guardians Put Their Nuts On The Table And Forced A Game 5 Trip Back To Cleveland....But Tarik Skubal Is Coming Too

BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT! BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT!

What a fucking heart attack of a game. Not only were we down 2-1 in the series with out backs against the wall, facing elimination. We were also down 3-2 in the 7th inning against one of the best bullpens in baseball. But here's the thing about this Cleveland Guardians team: they DON'T. FUCKING. QUIT. And with David Fry coming off the bench for an at-bat with a runner on base....all I wanted was a hit to tie the game up, but he was thinking differently.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES? People chirping Stephen Vogt for pushing the wrong buttons this entire series, including tonight when he let Bibee stay out there for 1 too many pitches, but they've been wrong and they were wrong. He is the best Manager in baseball, has proved it all year long, and proved it tonight when he saved Fry to insert him at just the right time....and he delivered. Even going to Clase in the 8th. People said, oh no, repeat of Game 2? No, repeat of the 50 games prior to it. You ride the horse that got you there. You dance with the girl you brought. Emmanuel Clase is a fucking dog and when the game is on the line, I want him pitching.

11 hits. 2 huge home runs. And we finally scored some fucking runs. You may be wondering what's different from the previous 20 innings in which the Guards couldn't even score once, and I'll tell you what was different: the bats were AWAKEN.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I did what I had to do to win Game 4….and now it's back to the drawing board for Game 5. Because this ain't Reese Olson that the Tigers are trotting out on the bump on Saturday. It's the unanimous Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal.

I'm not saying SHIT leading up to this game. I learned my lesson last time. This dude is a fucking monster and we need all hands on deck to beat him in Game 5. I just hope we can hang with him…..

**Side Note: the fact that this Game 5 is going to be at the exact same time as the Ohio State / Oregon game is some absolute bullshit.
