Costas said it best on the TBS game commentary: The Guardians are playing with house money. With the series now tied and heading back to Cleveland, the pressure is SQUARELY on the Spankee’s shoulders.
Cleveland had lost their last six games to the Yankees in the postseason before today’s win. Hey, the Guardians are playing with house money. Pressure is all on the Yankees. Cavs play today with the very talented Mobley back in action. The life. ☀️☀️☀️2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣🤨🤨🤨😂😂😂😎😎😎👏👏👏🍿🍿🍿🥤🥤🥤🎄🎄🎄🖊🖊🖊📖📖📖
I don't even mind the Yankees bias. He just kills the intensity and vibe when he references some dude no ones heard of from 1926. Let the moments breathe
In '97 no one gave us a shot against the Yankees. Dropped the first game. Went behind in the second. But then a wild, crazy ride took off. Let's hope history repeats (at least until the Jose Mesa part.)
José Ramírez is the embodiment of what’s baseball player should be. That hustle out of the box on a blooper is something you don’t see frequently. What a win, I cannot wait to be downtown tomorrow and Sunday. GO GUARDS!
The offense played much much better today than any other day. They are just waking up, and with the grind coming up I have faith restored in this team again
Annnnd unclench. What a huge win. Fought back. Key was getting Cortes out of the game early. The boys can get to this bullpen, especially their righties. Can’t wait for Triston to dominate tomorrow.
All the boners in the gameday thread who had us counted out after the first inning: isn't it amazing what can happen when you, I don't know, play an entire game of baseball? Don't come back tomorrow.
It feels SO GOOD taking it to 1-1 coming into a home game. Part of me loves that our disgusting brand of bloop singles and base running took the lead in the 10th.
The goal was to always split in New York. Now it’s our 1b vs there 3 in Severino. Then we have Cole for vs Cal at home. I like our chances there. Proud of our boys today, especially Bieber in his revenge game
Who is the clown saying we got lucky. Its crazy how one team wins when they put the ball in play more than the other team that strikes out for 5 innings worth of at bats
we were never out of this game which has been the whole team's motto since the start of this season. the bullpen was incredible and guardians baseball at the top of the 10th was just amazing. let's get 2 in cleveland! LFG
Just wanted to point out that the Guardians finally played their game today. And yeah, our bullpen and defense was better than theirs. Keep it tied long enough and I felt like their bullpen would crack eventually.
Love how Jose hustles no matter what. That triple was awesome to watch. I had the game playing on my phone as I was teaching this afternoon. Had a handful of kiddos keep asking me for periodic updates. Go Guards!
The Yankees sub is absolutely shitting on us saying we are the luckiest team in baseball lmaooo. I hope we shut out these stinky fucks over the weekend.
Someone in their sub thinks Clase was tomorrow's starting pitcher, and because of that he won't be going 5/6 innings and we'll have to reach into the bullpen.
At the beginning of the game they were acting like it was a highly unlikely hypothetical for the Guards to force a game 5. Now let’s see if the Yankees can do it.
His approach at the plate can be infuriating, but OGon is just fucking clutch man, how many guys, let alone ROOKIES can have game winning extra innings hits 2/3 games.
GO FUCKING GUARDS WHAT A GOD DAMN GAME. We torched our pen but so did the Yanks and we have Sticks tomorrow. We have such a shot at closing this in Cleveland. We knew we had to take one of these first two and we fucking did it. Absolutely disgusting brand of baseball.
LETS GO GUARDS! All we needed was 1! We now essentially have home field advantage in a 3 game series. Lets keep the momentum up from this game and take it into Cleveland with a sold out crowd. McKenzie just gotta do his thing and we are looking good.
Yankees sub was talking about how they were gonna sweep us and that even if we didn’t pitch to Judge it wouldn’t matter because of Stanton. Guess Stantons bomb wasn’t enough today. :,(
It’s two games, but people were saying that the Guards couldn’t hit with the Yanks. While my game-plan involved walking Judge, the fact is, they can’t score if Judge isn’t contributing.
I have been an avid baseball fan since I was a kid in the 90s, and in my limited time watching I can say that Tito is the best manager I have ever seen. His baseball IQ and the way he trusts and inspires his players is unmatched.
I’ll tell ya, these pitchers don’t give them anything to hit. Yeah they walked guys, but we struck those mother fuckers out. I love winning games against these bums. I just fucking love it
Over at the Yankees sub you couldn’t convince these guys that we just flat out pitched better than them and won a ball game with some timely hitting. Calling us lucky. It’s literally the way we have won all year long. It’s almost like their fan base has been blinded by home runs as if that’s the only way to score in baseball
I’m an Astros fan who had nothing to do today except listen to the broadcast, and my goodness is your main radio guy absolutely stellar. He’s gotta be one of the best in the league. Every call, every play for both teams felt like playoff baseball. Absolutely electric. I’m jealous.
I trusted him, I just didn’t think we needed to ride him that hard today when we have 2-3 more games before an off day, gives me 2016 Miller vibes when he was just out of gas when it mattered most.
Did Bob Costas miss the Guardians brief when he signed up for this gig? I think he mentioned the Guardians maybe twice today. That was 4 hrs of listening to him talk about Yankees, make Justin Bieber jokes, and called them the Indians over and over again
Fuck it start Clase
This is the "if the whole airplane were made out of the black box" way of thinking, and I like it.
TBS postgame: "We lost because the Guardians got lucky"
Literally wtf was that
As if the crazy fluke play Nestor had to keep a runner from scoring and get out of it wasn't luck. That's baseball
That’s what they’ve said about our team all year. At some point it’s not luck but just our style of play this year.
“No home runs, team not good.”
Wait what? I was listening to hammy. Who said that?
They got lucky Stanton had that called strike that shouldn’t have been right before he homered or else they would be shut out
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE
https://imgflip.com/i/6wy8ao
Wise person once said, “it ain’t a playoff series until somebody wins on the road”
I agree, go Guards
It’s a best of 3 and we have the next 2 at home
This is now a 3-game series in which the Guardians have home-field advantage.
Tomorrow is gonna be fucking lit. So much better coming home tied Vs being down 0-2
That was a really poorly managed game from Boone. Why did he use all his relievers so early. Why did he pull Giancarlo Stanton?!
Progressive is about to be BUZZIN tomorrow.
With Dr. Sticks and Cal Quantrill as the starters.
Costas said it best on the TBS game commentary: The Guardians are playing with house money. With the series now tied and heading back to Cleveland, the pressure is SQUARELY on the Spankee’s shoulders.
Any stats on how this scenario has gone for the Guardians last time they were in it?
I look forward to pounding $9.50 miller lites with you fine gentlemen at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario tomorrow evening
Based
FUCK YEAH
Cleveland had lost their last six games to the Yankees in the postseason before today’s win. Hey, the Guardians are playing with house money. Pressure is all on the Yankees. Cavs play today with the very talented Mobley back in action. The life. ☀️☀️☀️2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣🤨🤨🤨😂😂😂😎😎😎👏👏👏🍿🍿🍿🥤🥤🥤🎄🎄🎄🖊🖊🖊📖📖📖
Thank Christ, that felt so good
Best of 3 with homefield putting out McKenzie and Cal "undefeated in Cleveland" Quantrill?
Don’t stop. So close.
Get fucked New York/Bob
I don't even mind the Yankees bias. He just kills the intensity and vibe when he references some dude no ones heard of from 1926. Let the moments breathe
I have actually loved Bob Costas.
Could hardly contain his excitement on the Jram double+error.
Literally one of the top posts on
In '97 no one gave us a shot against the Yankees. Dropped the first game. Went behind in the second. But then a wild, crazy ride took off. Let's hope history repeats (at least until the Jose Mesa part.)
Tribe put one of the few L's on Rivera in the post season. Sandy F'in Alomar.
That was a great series, Jarret Wright stepped up, it is a shame shoulder problems shortened his career.
Did we just get Cal pitching Game 4 at home?
I think he always would have been slated for game 4. Tuesday to Sunday is regular rest
I’m wet for Cal game 4 straight up
Keep that home field win streak alive Cal!
Fuck the yankees
The utter disrespect on this post game show....
No kidding that dude can get fucked. They struck out 15 times but that’s some how us getting lucky.
He said “us” when talking about the Yankees, so I presume he was a former Yank. He can still go duck himself.
Lol, luck would have been winning off a home run peech.
Ya nobody ever scores a run off a bloop hit
Pedro had already penned a Yankees win with his shitty fucking pinstripe sport coat.
They can't stop sucking that pinstripe dick
Fuck 'em indeed. Let them keep their nose in the air while we take 'em down at the knees.
LET'S FUCKING GO GUARDS! This team really showing it ain't over till it's over
Turns out that Comedy Central pitching isn't much of a joke after all
FUCK HOUSE MONEY
Came here to say that so thanks for posting!
Whoever scheduled this upcoming 5:30 conference call is about to get ALL THE SMOKE!
5:30 conference call…on a Friday? That sucks.
Imagine waking up every day and not being a Guards fan, glad its not me
José Ramírez is the embodiment of what’s baseball player should be. That hustle out of the box on a blooper is something you don’t see frequently. What a win, I cannot wait to be downtown tomorrow and Sunday. GO GUARDS!
Hustle is this team’s calling card and it’s been so much fun to watch.
Josh Naylor "we have the best fans in baseball"
RELEASE THE MIDGES
We’ve been getting by with just enough offense, but with pitching this good, that’s all we need baby
The offense played much much better today than any other day. They are just waking up, and with the grind coming up I have faith restored in this team again
The Guardiac Kids just won’t stop! Love this team!!
FUCK YES. BACK TO CLEVELAND
Annnnd unclench. What a huge win. Fought back. Key was getting Cortes out of the game early. The boys can get to this bullpen, especially their righties. Can’t wait for Triston to dominate tomorrow.
All the boners in the gameday thread who had us counted out after the first inning: isn't it amazing what can happen when you, I don't know, play an entire game of baseball? Don't come back tomorrow.
YANKEES
TBS and the Yankees bias can eat a bag of dicks.
Could you imagine Jose getting booed in Cleveland?
Whoever wins the central is just getting the opportunity to get swept by the Yankees huh
I heard a mom telling her kid in Kohls yesterday that we were getting swept by the Yankees. He was so sad. I should’ve called CPS
The doomers should be forced to wear Yankees paraphernalia for time immemorial. Never seen so many people writing us off after 2/3 of an inning.
If 3 runs makes a playoff team then what does 4 runs mean?
Bunch of clowns. This sub is unbearable when we're down.
Jomboy whisper yell voice
Clase has BDE. What a player
It feels SO GOOD taking it to 1-1 coming into a home game. Part of me loves that our disgusting brand of bloop singles and base running took the lead in the 10th.
All right can the doomers chill a little? Wasn’t near this bad in the game threads till the playoffs
Lots of people watching their first games all year in the game threads
God it feels amazing every time Aaron Judge strikes out. It feels even better beating the Yankees.
Let’s fucking go!!!!!!!!! Fuck the Yankees!!
The goal was to always split in New York. Now it’s our 1b vs there 3 in Severino. Then we have Cole for vs Cal at home. I like our chances there. Proud of our boys today, especially Bieber in his revenge game
Bieber was sexy AF on the hill today. Straight vibin'.
Who is the clown saying we got lucky. Its crazy how one team wins when they put the ball in play more than the other team that strikes out for 5 innings worth of at bats
He’s like “I think New York is still ok”. Excellent impartial journalism there bud.
we were never out of this game which has been the whole team's motto since the start of this season. the bullpen was incredible and guardians baseball at the top of the 10th was just amazing. let's get 2 in cleveland! LFG
Me and my girl are 6-0 when going to Tristan McKenzie games 😉
Just wanted to point out that the Guardians finally played their game today. And yeah, our bullpen and defense was better than theirs. Keep it tied long enough and I felt like their bullpen would crack eventually.
BRING ON THE MIDGES
Love how Jose hustles no matter what. That triple was awesome to watch. I had the game playing on my phone as I was teaching this afternoon. Had a handful of kiddos keep asking me for periodic updates. Go Guards!
Not to compare, but that's how Pete Rose played, and look how good his career was.
I CANT BELIEVE WE SPLIT THE MF YANKEES AT HOME
Feels so good to beat the Yankees
I had to leave the house in the bottom of the tenth, so much better listening to Hammy call it than Costas.
The Yankees sub is absolutely shitting on us saying we are the luckiest team in baseball lmaooo. I hope we shut out these stinky fucks over the weekend.
Someone in their sub thinks Clase was tomorrow's starting pitcher, and because of that he won't be going 5/6 innings and we'll have to reach into the bullpen.
I love it! What’s lost with the 3 true outcomes people, is that good things happen to teams that put the ball in play and force you to play defense.
Twins fan here in peace. Go slay those Yanks!
Yeah booooooooiiiiiii!
At the beginning of the game they were acting like it was a highly unlikely hypothetical for the Guards to force a game 5. Now let’s see if the Yankees can do it.
I can enjoy my Friday night now
Split in NY was what I hoped for, let’s bring it home!
The Guardiac kids strike again
Hammy with “Ballgame!”
MLB network just said we have $90MM payroll. I thought it was more like $68MM?
Your number sounds about right
His approach at the plate can be infuriating, but OGon is just fucking clutch man, how many guys, let alone ROOKIES can have game winning extra innings hits 2/3 games.
BE LOUD TOMORROW CLEVELAND
Sandy Alomar Jr.'s belt is undefeated in extra-inning post-season games. I'd like to see some advanced metrics about the belt's performance.
ALDS Magic Number: 2
🎶🎵Do you believe in magic🎶🎵
Y'ALL KNOW I'LL DO IT IF I SAY I WILL
You train all regular season for these moments, a true professional!
A true hero.
Hell yeah brother, cheers from Columbus
Sorry y’all,
I’m taking CLEbot to
SPONGEBOB THEME SONG ON REPEAT
THIS IS THE TEAM
GO FUCKING GUARDS WHAT A GOD DAMN GAME. We torched our pen but so did the Yanks and we have Sticks tomorrow. We have such a shot at closing this in Cleveland. We knew we had to take one of these first two and we fucking did it. Absolutely disgusting brand of baseball.
This is probably going to get buried, but does anyone have a replay of that crazy play with Ramirez reaching 3rd on the blooper and errant throw?
Guardians Twitter posted it!
FWIW, the iheart radio app is behind the TV by about a pitch. I muted the TV, paused it for a few seconds, and turned on Hammy.
LETS GO GUARDS! All we needed was 1! We now essentially have home field advantage in a 3 game series. Lets keep the momentum up from this game and take it into Cleveland with a sold out crowd. McKenzie just gotta do his thing and we are looking good.
Ladies and Gentlemen :
Leaving the Bronx with a split is all you can reasonably ask for.
They’re complaining about the fact that the Yankees were “cheated” out of two night games in New York. They can’t handle losing to Cleveland.
Guards win! Yankees lose. I'm going to Game 4. LFG!!!
Fuck yeah what a beautiful win!! Where’s everybody at that thought the series was over after the first inning??
Doomers in shambles
Carlos Correa the Cheater on the postgame. Dumb.
We won a game in New York. Mission accomplished.
Fuck the Yankees
FUCK THE YANKEES
Yankees sub was talking about how they were gonna sweep us and that even if we didn’t pitch to Judge it wouldn’t matter because of Stanton. Guess Stantons bomb wasn’t enough today. :,(
I saw a comment on the game thread, during the 4th inning , and they were like “that’s the wrap, see you guys tomorrow”
Those comments were in the first inning after the home run in our game thread.
Amazing win by our boys. Home field advantage, let's use it!
So obviously coming back to CLE with a split pretty much what we were hoping for !!!
Let’s pack the fuckn Jake with our fans and make it boom baby, see y’all Sunday!
It’s two games, but people were saying that the Guards couldn’t hit with the Yanks. While my game-plan involved walking Judge, the fact is, they can’t score if Judge isn’t contributing.
Reporter: “how’s your leg?” Naylor: “it’s still there”
I will never doubt the boys again.
That's great! Now we just need about 100 more comments like this from others.
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE NOW!
HAHAHAHA YES
WE'VE GOT A FUCKING SHOT BOYS
I aged 10 years today and I have to do this again tomorrow?! 😂
If not for a missed Ball 4 call this could've been a shutout. Pitching was ON today.
UPFUCKTHEYANKEES TO THE LEFT LETS GO GUARDS
That day off seems really valuable. LFG
LFG GUARDS BRING IT BACK HOME BOYS
Granderson just said we got lucky lol
Granderson got lucky getting dealt to the Yankees.
Even Jesus hates the Yankees
Very sensual win.
Clase rules
Hope everyone's got Bally sports or Hammy on for the postgame!
I have been an avid baseball fan since I was a kid in the 90s, and in my limited time watching I can say that Tito is the best manager I have ever seen. His baseball IQ and the way he trusts and inspires his players is unmatched.
Fuck the Yankees!
I’ll tell ya, these pitchers don’t give them anything to hit. Yeah they walked guys, but we struck those mother fuckers out. I love winning games against these bums. I just fucking love it

Remember all the people calling Tito stupid and crazy for having Naylor start this game. And then later wanting to pull him?
Those of you going to the game let's be classy tomorrow night. we ain't the trash Yankee fans.
LET’S GO TRIBE!!!!!!! THAT IS A HUGE WIN!!!
FUCK THE YANKEES!!!

"Boy these Guardians have the smallest balls I've ever seen." -Bob Costas
Fuck the Yankees
Nobody sweeps the Guards, Nobody.
So happy this wasn't another 15 inning ordeal
Woot!
Anyone with audio of Hammys call on Jose’s little league triple?
After all these day games I know more about shadows than I care to.
Clase available tomorrow?
lolno
Won’t need him since we’ll be up by 5
I hope Bob Costas has to eat an overcooked steak tonight...wait that is probably how he likes it...well I hope he eats some bad shellfish then...
The Yankees sub seems to hate Bob Costas just as much as you all do, that's pretty funny
Im buying a Clase jersey
#Blooptriple
THEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES LOSE
I’m an Astros fan who had nothing to do today except listen to the broadcast, and my goodness is your main radio guy absolutely stellar. He’s gotta be one of the best in the league. Every call, every play for both teams felt like playoff baseball. Absolutely electric. I’m jealous.
People freaking out over Clase at the end there didn’t make sense. He was doing fine from what I saw?
That's the shakiest I've ever seen him. Highest pitch count he's had all year too.
Highway pitch count/longest outing of the year. You never know how someone will respond to that. Especially an arm like his.
I feel like he missed every target lol usually he paints the border/corners.
I trusted him, I just didn’t think we needed to ride him that hard today when we have 2-3 more games before an off day, gives me 2016 Miller vibes when he was just out of gas when it mattered most.
Bob Coasts you are a hack. Let’s go boys! Let’s win it all at home!!
Did Bob Costas miss the Guardians brief when he signed up for this gig? I think he mentioned the Guardians maybe twice today. That was 4 hrs of listening to him talk about Yankees, make Justin Bieber jokes, and called them the Indians over and over again
I hate New York. Once you've been there, eh, it's nothing. I don't want to go back. I say we end this series in Cleveland.
WHERE ARE THE DOUBTERS NOW????
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh let’s go!!!!
We’re guaaarrrrrds!
Great win Guards!
Let’s fucking GO
Are you telling me there’s a chance?
