Guardians News: Maybe We Were the Under .500 Team All Along

CLEVELAND, OH - AUGUST 01: Cleveland Guardians first baseman Rhys Hoskins (8) rounds the bases after hitting a 2-run home run during the first inning of the Major League Baseball interleague game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cleveland Guardians on August 1, 2026, at Progressive Field in Clev

What is the story about?

Much was made about the Guardians’ August and September schedule being full of under .500 teams. Now, the Guardians are one of those teams.

The Guardians getting swept by the Mets was incredibly rough. But, I think the bigger issue revolves around the mental and physical mistakes the team continues to make. It’s a young team, yes. They simply don’t look very disciplined or focused at the moment.

Zack Meisel of the Athletic wrote about the three newest Guardians. At least the offense showed some life

this week.

AROUND MLB:

Tigers and Twins won.

Currently, I am watching the White Sox and Red Sox going into the 12th inning. So, the White Sox bullpen will be taxed. Can the Guardians take advantage of that tonight? Probably not. Ope, the White Sox just lost.
