[Game Thread] ALDS Game 5 - Guardians (2) @ Yankees (2) - October 17, 2022

Game Has been postponed

That's an awesome roller derby team

What if the icing on the cake to all of this mayhem is Tito again showing his brilliance with Civale throwing a monster win after all of MLB screamed for Bieber to start. I'm crap with predictions, so I am not predicting this, but that's how I hope it goes down.

No No No.

I hope they sleep well, Our bats really need to come to life tomorrow, we’re not winning this thing with any fewer than 4 runs

If it’s truly Civale vs Taillon I like our chances regardless of the amount of rest the Yankee pen has. I’d rather face Taillon 100% rested than a nasty lefty like Nestor on any amount of days rest. That said, whoever wins is probably fucked game 1 in Houston. I wouldn’t oppose tanking (or hoping Plesac plays out of his mind) game 1 with maybe a Plesac/Cody Morris/low leverage pen guys to set the other pen up for games 2 and 3.

yankee fan coming in peace. just came here trying to find out who’s starting for y’all. Nestor will be starting for us btw. it’s already been announced.

It was drizzling. Could they really not have played? How much does it need to be raining? Genuinely asking

I think a lot of people have this question.

I don’t know what it’s like in the Bronx but I’m 13 miles away and it stopped raining like an hour and a half ago

I was there and caught a football pass from Myles straw then threw it back to brennan, that was cool at least

Anyone else hoping it rains again tomorrow? I already miss cube.

And then it’s a double header in Houston JFC

If we win tomorrow they should rename the team to the Cleveland Cubes

There’s a whole bunch of comments about the Cube on the Guardians Facebook post about the rescheduled game Five.

Naylor and Judge in the cube, fight to the finish to decide the NLDS. Judge has reach on him but Naylor brings enough psychopath to the table that it won’t matter.

We gotta start Bieber tomorrow

Couldn't they bring in Justin Bieber to pitch if things go sideways?

is this an option or are they still starting Civale?

Am sad

Guardians v. Yankees Game 5 of the ALDS has been forfeited by both teams. By default, The Cube advances to play the Cheaters and assume world domination.

The only way that Manfred and the MLB could make it more obvious that they want NYY to win is if they outwardly said it.

They can’t predict the rain. Was it def. not raining hard enough that they should have played?

Yankees fan here. I understand your thought process but how does the MLB control the weather? I’m not trying to be a dickhead I just want to understand the full thought here

They did outwardly say it.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if tomorrow's game somehow got rained out?

if it rains each teams sends a pair of players to The Cube, winner plays Houston.

New rule for tomorrow’s game - the pitchers have to throw cubes. No more baseballs. This is the New Cube Order.

CLE fans and NY fans both talking about how this postponement puts their team at a disadvantage.

More like they're looking past us and already complaining about how this is unfair for their first game against the Asstros.

I don't see how Yankee fans could possibly think this advantages us

I agree, Go Guards

I agree, Go Guards

It’s crazy that the maximum amount of money you can win in the cube is $250k - that’s it??

I mean Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune give way less than that so...

Prob around 150k after taxes

They only have that TBS money.

Crazy that d wade is the host

Right? Especially since Who Wants To Be A Millionaire came out 23 years ago

1500+ comments in a game thread for a game that didn't happen, what percentage of them are about The Cube?

There were ~200 mentions of the word cube by my count

100

It’s been real, goblins. Catch ya tomorrow!

I agree, go Guards.

Only true Cube followers are still here.

I'm gonna die here

I decided to play FUT tonight because I needed to get pissed off about something and the game isn't happening.

Brunette seems so nice, I'm sad for them ☹

I wanted them to get the money for a baby. 😭

Is everyone just gonna hang out and watch the cube together now?

Cube Watch Party outside Progressive Field tomorrow.

Don’t know why you wouldn’t start Bieber.

I agree, I know it’s short rest but you gotta win. I’d rather face the Astros game 1 with a bullpen game over the Yankees in an elimination game.

TOMORROW IN NEW YORK CITY

Ok. I'm out.. see you all tomorrow

Lol. “However, The Cube loves no one”.

I cackled at that

Lol. Why tf would they go for it

Blonde girl is a bitch

That was so dumb of them 🤦🏼‍♀️

I wasn’t prepared to have my heart broken this way.

The blonde is rude

Oh nooooo

Noooo :(

NOOOOOO

Don’t let the cube beat you.

blonde chick is mad af

This is intense AF

Noooooo

the slow mo 🤠

I’m happy for the Yankees they are down and out when it comes to money maybe they can use the extra cash from tonight and buy a player or two this offseason. /s <———

I agree, go Cube.

No way they win this

No. Why?!?! Take the f****n Money

To the cube! To the cube!

They’re playing?!

bet they sold a lot of beer tonight! scumbags. didnt even prep the field! got my tinfoil on tonight for everything. the fix was in!!!! lol

so this means Nestor Cortez is starting tomorrow???

I’m going to assume yes

Yea

Alright y'all, I got to wake up in nine hours in order to travel to the east coast for work.

Someone talk me thru staying thru the commercials.. I don't think I can make it..

The blonde wife is so mean man wth

Right I don't like her

Postponed til tomorrow and my optimism for the outcome has diminished

Agreed. Tonight was a huge advantage for guardians. This postponement was literally the only thing that could’ve happened tonight to take away my optimism. A bullpen game against a not so rested bullpen as opposed to facing a well rested, stud no. 2 is an enormously unfortunate turn of events for what is on the line.

Any of you early 2000s internet people remember time cube?

Lmao

I wonder if Bieber goes tomorrow since he will be on 3 days rest

if he wants to be an ace he should

Hope So.

Four ..

I saw someone earlier said that he already said no, it would be civale

Take the $20k!!!

I will come home tomorrow with a win or loss result. Maybe for my own health this is for the best. Fuck the Yankees, fuck MLB, Go Guards, please wreck these cowards.

Why are they cowards?

If I struggled there, I would've gone back and knocked down all the poles.

Go for it!

take the money!

This is just a ripoff of the Japanese gameshow Rhombus

What about the Hungarian series “a trapéz”?

Just noticed their shirts match the others pants

Isn’t the real cube the friends we’ve made along the way?

🏆

Dennis: Hey she did it! Dee: I don’t care! Dennis: Shit, I don’t care either.

His motivational speech worked. She dug deep!

Pretty sure this is all LeBron. Had to get his Yankees an extra day off and promote dwyane wades shitty game show while he’s at it

At this point the relationship is on the line. The blonde one is tired of the other one fucking up.

The tension is palpable. Blonde woman seems like a real dickhead, but I can understand her frustration.

Imagine a cube ruining your love life

Damn she did it

Well our bullpen should be extra rested.

Holy shit!!!!!

PAIN.

it feels like we lost tonight for some reason :(

On my end it's cuz I'm still scarred from 2016 rain. Weather just fucks us.

I can't leave until this 'don't knock over shit' part of the Cube is over

I came.

Playoffs should be decided by THE CUBE

It has been decided that the Cube will face the Astros on Wednesday.

By nothing Dwayne Wade means single

No lie though, this game would be incredibly difficult

If you die in the cube you die in real life

At least we still have The Cube

Dwayne Wade’s big monologue

I’m motivated. You motivated?

If the Guardians advance I’m hoping that they can swing that momentum and use against the trashtros

i knwo its rain but mother fuck man. now they get a fresh pen with nestor. fucking coddled franchise. all the money in the world and need a weather miracle to beat a team with 1/6th the payroll. eat shit yankees you cowards.

Ooo she sassy

Blondie is pisssssed

Ooooh DRAMA I can’t believe they lost 6 lives on this

Fuck

God hates Cleveland, confirmed.

We confirmed that in 1988 and 1995 and 1997 and 2016.......I think he just took a nap the day Cavs won that championship in 2016.

That sucks. Whoever wins is gonna be toasted for Houston. Fuck it and run Bieber tomorrow.

Fuck off rain! Although we could use some in SoCal

I’m in SoCal too! Hi neighbor!

Yeah dude if we don't beat them tomorrow I'm going to be livid and Rob Manfred can go fuck himself in the deepest pits of hell.

This cube challenge is horseshit, seems pretty close to impossible

How do I get a slap hitting shit goblin flair?

Mods please change the title to “the cube thread”

Houston is the real winner here, no matter who advances they are gonna be cooked

If Cleveland can pull out a win, they'll probably have Bieber and McKenzie ready for games 1-2 and unless they go crazy giving Clase and Stephan 2+ innings each, they're probably available after having not pitched for a couple days.

I imagine they would have to delay. But then it gives them extra rest. Either way will suck.

Such bullshit.

Yankees are some bitches

Can we keep this open as a Cube thread??

Imo they should have to play tonight's lineup tomorrow as if it were played today. it's only fair

If that was the rule they'd just pitch Taillon for 3 batters then Nestor Cortes for 6 innings.

and all his relievers need to throw simulated at bats. cant be understated how much of a fucking advantage this is for the scum fuck yankees

FUCK THAT SHIT!

fudge manfred

I agree. Go guards!

Nice. And i have to work til at least 6 tomorrow. Fucking wonderful.

I’m on the west coast and work until 6 PT, so no game for me! Didn’t have to work today, so it was perfect. This fucked it all up and I’m being a little pissy pants about it because, well, I’m pissed…

Cube thread! where is it?

I'm gonna miss the whole thing tomorrow. Great.

It’s been fun edging with you all! See you tomorrow for the big finish!

Cubeing*

So the cool thing is that they get Cole and Cortes twice apiece…and us? Well, we get Bieber and McKenzie once each. Fair!

That's on Francona. He could pitch Bieber tomorrow. He's saving him for ALCS, which may be smart or dumb. We'll find out tomorrow.

Division winner too.

Still gonna win. Fuck these clowns.

booooo

Wet fart

THIS SUCKS. 100% favoring the yanks. Man I’m blowed. We still gonna win this shit tomorrow idc!!

Remember, their bullpen is still trash

True, but when our offense is averaging like 2-3 run/game this postseason and they have a well rested, solid number 2 going, it might not matter. The fact their bullpen is trash was going to be the enormous advantage tonight, prob not nearly as much tomorrow.

That's what I've been thinking. They might be a bit more rested, but they still aren't as good as our bullpen lol

How do you not move the game up knowing the ALCS starts on Wednesday? How do we get one update in 2 1/2 hours? This is game 5 of the ALDS for Christ’s sake.

Imagine getting to the stadium today at 5:30. You want to walk around the park a bit. Get some food before the actual game starts. Get some beers.

Not moving games around I can kiiiiind of excuse just because the logistics of it seem difficult. But not giving any sort of updates to fans that were sitting in the rain in that stadium for hours? That's just wild. What an unprofessional organization.

HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED THE CUBE GAME!

I agree. Go cube!

Fucking BULLSHIT

Goodnight all! Go Guards! See ya tomorrow! 🙋‍♂️

The mlb sucks ass, postpone it earlier and don’t wait 2.5 hours

We had so much fun though!!

Are they going to keep showing the cube tho?

Thank God. I’m invested in these two.

If they don’t, we riot .

FUCK THE MLB

Civale v Cortes most likely

I know Tito wasnt into the delay so I kinda anticipated this

Postponed smh, they got what they wanted

Literal Bullshit

Ok now already wondering if this changes the pitching situation for tomrrow ??

Civale starts and see's the lineup twice, then bullpen.

Probably for the Yankees, not for us.

Nope for Guardians. Positively for Yankees.

It does. They are starting Cortes and we are starting civale still

Sad rain noises :(

Well I'm still going to finish this episode of The Cube

Kinda have to. No one likes a quitter.

Does this mean Bieber pitches?

Already wondering ??
