Steven Kwan, Cade Smith, Lane Thomas & Stephen Vogt React to Cleveland ALDS Series Win vs. Detroit

[@chiprahn]

Stephen Vogt and the Guardians feel like such a likeable "good guys" team. You just can't hate them.

[@pennywise804]

They are....I went to game 2 and this team is special and could make the run to the WS...He is very much a players coach......GO GUARDS!!!!!!

Cleveland fan here that was a great series nothing to be ashamed of

[@Tank345-j2u]

Appreciate that dude, we'll do our best.

[@pennywise804]

As a life long Cleveland fan I give the Tigers a lot of respect...I was at game 2 when Carpenter and Skubal owned us.....But there was never any disrespect.......Even today, Skubal hit Jose and it wasn't a big deal.......The AL Central is the best....YANKEES ARE THE ONES WE HATE IN THE CENTRAL!!

[@brianborowski6160]

Total respect to the Tigers. Fortunately things went our way but you're going to see the Tigers for several years to come. Kudos to them

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

Only downside today was that the grand slam was in a rosey inning. I need a hammy grand slam call

I'm a Tigers fan who says, "Congrats, Guardians. Break the World Series jinx and become world champions again. But be prepared because we're comin' at ya in '25."

[@justsomeguyfromcle7484]

Feel good for Lane. He’s earned it

[@cavsbabe1]

I love this team! I loved seeing the players celebrate, the coaches celebrate, the fans and City of Cleveland celebrate. The Guardians and the City of Cleveland Deserve this one! Now let’s get the next one and head to the World Series Baby! 💙❤️⚾️

[@o0oStillWeRiseo0o]

Tigers fan here. Perfectly managed game. We rode for too long w Skubal and went out like the young gun slingers we were

[@stephenkolozsi6942]

The other 3 teams left might have the Star power and for sure high payroll, but in baseball you need what I believe the Guards have in spades.

[@Gestr3482]

I'm not a fan of either team, though I've enjoyed watching them both this season. Cleveland was a team I thought of as a WS contender from the start of the season, and they've been even better than I thought they'd be. Such a balanced team. Good pitching, great defense, good team speed. They're firing on all cylinders. They really look like a team that can win it all. And Detroit has been a blast to follow. I watched every pitch of that series winning game against Houston. They are a nightmare to plan for. Everybody on that team does everything! It was a pleasure to watch every game of this series.

Hiring Stephen Vogt was a slam dunk. Go guards!

[@alexcika9906]

I've been saying this all year this group of guys are just something special you can sense good things were gonna happen

[@bigjt37]

Boyd has been epic, don't forget Lively was big down the stretch he didn't hardly give a run up in his final 3-4 starts. He deserves a go and so maybe does Gavin. If you wanna truly win a chip let's use some starters to skip? Love this team, but that's my hope.

[@pennywise804]

I agree, I went to game 2 and this team is special....We have had so many good teams but this young team is amazing...

[@stephenkolozsi6942]

I honestly don’t know how they play the starters for this series. Stealing either gm1 or 2 would be huge, but saving/resting Bibee/Boyd for the home 3-5 could be key to how the ALCS plays out. I like Lively for gm1 or 2, he is an unsung contributor to where this team is at now, how amazing he was once Bieber went down and was the best starter April/May when McKenzie/Allen especially couldn’t figure it out, and became the best record in baseball. He was left off the ALDS roster to rest if and when they made it further. Vogt always has a plan and Carl Willis, Sandy Alomar Jr., etc all have done a master job as well. Ride or die time.

[@kirkbarry7082]

Vogt is Cleveland
