Full disclosure... I'm a Yankees fan and was thrilled to see my team win, but i DID feel for Cleveland. Look, you can't blame them too much. Clase and Gaddis are the best Bullpen in MLB, but great hitters like Soto, Stanton and Judge will always beat even the best pitchers.

[@CynVee]

All baseball fans know the absolute misery of, "almost but not quite, maybe next year." We've all suffered through heartbreaking losses. Don't even mention 2001 to me. The Indians (sorry, I'm old school, they'll always be the Indians to me) have a good team. They gave us Yankees fans ulcers during this series. My hat's off to them. If they can stay together they'll be back next year. You have nothing to be ashamed of, your team played a great series. Sorry for your pain. Even Yankees fans know pain. Imagine the Cubbies' fans, how long they suffered. You'll be on top one day and I don't think it's that far off. Cheers...

This is what Cleveland deserves for dropping the Indians name.

They've had plenty of disappointment under that name too. Maybe you right wing jackoffs who have to inject your culture war BS into everything should stay on 4chan where you belong. You probably don't even live in Cleveland.

The Bridge Brigade deserved better. What a run, Cleveland! I hope this makes up a tiny bit for that whole ‘DeShaun’ thing in that other Cleveland stadium.

After 2020, we had to take the lady off the syrup bottle, the guy off the rice box, the woman off the butter, and Washington temporarily called their football team “Washington Football Team.” When they went from Indians to guardians, that was pathetic.

The Indians have the 2nd wealthiest owners in MLB, behind only the Mets.

Stop supporting teams that don't pay their players and don't entice free agents to sign with them.

Soto is a monster. I knew it once he was shaking his head and spitting at pitches. Licking his lips, it was like watching a lion play with his meal. Absolutely mesmerizing to watch and something. I will never forget.

[@DirectionlessStudent]

Guardians played a tremendous series where every game was a dogfight -- I felt lucky that the Yanks won. My only complaint if I were a Guardians fan would be that you pitched to Stanton instead of walking him to get to Jazz. I did not understand that with Stanton being locked in and representing the tying run in a win or go home game. I would've walked him 100 out of 100 times. What Soto did could not have been helped, but what Stanton did? Put the guy on.

[@JeffRagusa]

They coulda walked Soto. Judge was nearly an automatic out in this series

[@DirectionlessStudent]

@@JeffRagusa Fair. But I can understand being reluctant to put another guy on to pitch to Judge who made a lot of outs but also hit 2 HRs and had 6 RBIs. Jazz had 0 RBIs for the series -- it was a no-brainer on Stanton.

But it doesn't work that way - I know. Anyway - congrats on a wonderful season, and you guys are here to stay for a while, I think. Lastly, the name Guardians is the lamest name in Sports - with the Wizards and Commanders being right there with it. AWFUL Woke crap Sports names. Anyway - keep your chins up.

[@spconrad9612]

The Yankees should report to the Indians spring training facility this February when pitchers and catchers report. That way they can get in some extra batting practice for the 2025 season. Is that all that the Tribe pitchers know how to do is serve up home run balls to these guys? Every year, all you ever hear is how solid or how great the Indians rotation is. Guess what the ownership knows how much the fans like good pitching but won't spend more on offense. The game has to be balanced, and until the Tribe gets a couple of dominant hitters, this will continue. As always, nice season Cleveland, get ready to T up some homerun balls next post-season.

I said the same thing you said about attempting to turn the double play and having the Yankee hitter strike out leaving Soto to come up in the 11th inning and like I said it’s funny when one mishap can change the whole half inning The Yankees also experienced the same fate in one of the games (they had the game won until Cleveland hit the game tying homerun in the late innings and win it in the bottom half of the inning) This might’ve been the Yankees World Series win (yes they’re headed to the World Series but will they have a sudden collapse or continue to ride that momentum)
