"and nearly killing someone" 🤣 Klase's bean ball was epic. I am glad the guy wasn't hurt but he probably has PTSD from seeing that 101 MPH fastball coming straight at his head. Great game though. Go Guards!!!
analytics doesnt predict how the season will turn out. cant predict the future with numbers and never will be able to. its not even the allstar break. expected numbers are the dumbest thing ever brought into baseball. advanced stats dont improve any sport at all. computers cant predict the outcome of games or the likelyhood of catching a ball. analytics doesnt add anything to baseball.
If you consider the fact that Steven Kwan was called up to the Majors 3 years younger than Ichiro when he moved from the NPB, there is a good chance he could rack up career numbers like Ichiro. That being said, Ichiro came in with and sustained a 300+ batting average, hold the single season record at 371 and retired with a career 311 batting average over 18 years of MLB play. If Kwan can keep this season up he could well reach that kind of peak batting average, but he has yet to finish a season with an average over 300. TLDR: Kwan has the optics of an Ichiro, but needs to sustain this kind of play a few more years to even match him.
Kwan is a better hitter than Ichiro, he just doesn't get out of the box as fast. I saw a twitter video comparing the two, and Ichiro has a two step advantage. But Kwan doesn't foul off obvious balls the way Ichiro would (which drove me crazy, I'm in Seattle area). I don't see Kwan matching Ichiro's BA, but he'll make up for it with more walks.
And proceeded to hit .250 for his career with just under 60 homers and cost us Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersely because he stole Eck's wife....thanks a lot Rick😂
whatever slim chance kwan had of winning mvp before he got injured, end during his injury. the team never lost a step. which is not a slight on his absolute monster season, but more a statement on how well adapting they've proven to be
Biggest issue is starting pitching. Losing Bieber, Sticks is not 100%, Cookie is not the same. Bright spots are Bibee and Lively. But another solid starter would immense.
i think the most insane thing about kwan right now is he has more games played with 3 or more hits than he does with 0 hits. (8 with 3 hits, 1 with 4 hits, 7!!! with 0 hits)
just wait till Gavin comes back. really hope this FO sees this team winning and trades for a Righty that mashes lefties( BO bichette) and middle road SP i want Luzardo
A.C from Tampa or Cal from the Rockies former Cleveland pitchers that knows the team and will fit rite back in! But Gavin fast ball has been between 95-98 love that hopefully see him by end of June! Go Guardians #Clevelanddddd
I was fortunate enough to go to.several games when the tribe went to the w.s.bavk in the 90s.im 61 now .I really wish to see our now guardians go and when it all this season before I check out anyway go go tribe / guardians .I'm a believer . Do you believe .remember fans Indian fever be a believer in the guardians / Indians
being a Cleveland sports fan is so weird, even though Cleveland is a developmental organization.... the comment section is still full of people talking about trades that will bring in rent a players whose names they know. to think Cleveland is now going to abandoned their plan to panic get a SP or Right handed RF, when we still have young guys in those spots who need to be evaluated at some point and time I wish it would be based in some reality, because I really hope that the Cleveland FO does not panic and give up prospects who are close to helping the Major League team out all so we can live the Cleveland fantasy of getting that one FA who helps us win that one Championship. Cleveland is trying to contend for multiple championships for the rest of Jose's contract.... not hoping and praying they luck into one.
I both agree and disagree with this comment. Yes, we do need to see what some of these prospects have to offer at the big league level, no doubt about that. But bringing in a guy like Bo Bichette (signed through '25) or Robert (signed with club options through '27) aren't rent a players. They help this year and beyond. And who knows, if we did win this year, maybe Bo resigns? Our SS offensive production has been terrible. I've seen enough of Arias to know he isn't the guy. Rocchio has been above average defensively, but offensively haven't seen enough. No one wants to trade prospects, but if we remember, just a few years ago we gave up prospects in one, yes one, trade for Andrew Miller and that almost won us a WS. If we can bolster our offense just a little AND maybe add a rotation piece, even a mid to back end starter, the AL is relatively weak this year outside NY and Baltimore. At least so far.
Homeboy, I’m all for positivity but we’ve also got to be honest with ourselves in the face of the eye test and data. Freeman is trying hard, but he’s been one of the worst defensive CFs in baseball. His range is in the bottom 2% in MLB and he has -3 DRS. He gets a bad read on a ball at least 2-3 times a game and often doesn’t get to balls that the vast majority of CFs reach easily. Finally, I said this last time you brought up Ichiro related to Kwan. Ichiro reached at least 200 hits in every single one of his first 10 MLB seasons. Kwan will be 0-3 after this year and his first two years weren’t due to a lack of at bat (when he was roughly the same age as Ichiro in his first two seasons). The two players are on different planets. Kwan is great in his own right, we don’t need to make hyperbolic statements about him becoming the best base hitter in MLB history to appreciate that.
@@spencerpremierthanks for the video, I don’t see any of these guys that are bitching creating any content. Don’t worry about the haters, they are little baby bitches

Clase did apologize to him and the dugout which was awesome to see!
baseball players dont get ptsd from getting hit once with a ball. people dont get ptsd from minor shit
Clase* btw
Our 3 & 4 hitters are on pace to hit a combined 75 HR's and 275 RBI! We haven't had power guys like that since the 90's!

I was there tonight, not far from where the Naylor bomb landed. Great game!
Let's go!
@@spencerpremier Not shown in the 9th, a fan ran all the way out to Freeman in center and did a back flip before it looked like security tazed him.
@@nrudy ya I was gonna put that clip at the end but I literally forgot lol
Can’t believe they also got the #1 pick of the draft!
It's unreal
Josh Naylor will definitely re-sign with the Cleveland Guardians!!! ❤️💙⚾️
Yeah
Just like Jim Thome was going to sign with the Indians

When Rick Manning came up he was a shortstop too before he was put in the center field and became a gold glover...

Kwan reminds of Ichiro so much.
Cleveland! Cleveland! Cleveland! Cleveland!
Kwan is a star....
get the guardians some starting pitching and run manzardo at 1st and this team will maybe contend with the yankees and orioles
Kwan has more 3 hit games than 0 hit games lol
kwan could LITERALY hit over 400!!!!! if that doesnt win him the mvp baseball is ruined
just wait till Gavin comes back. really hope this FO sees this team winning and trades for a Righty that mashes lefties( BO bichette) and middle road SP i want Luzardo

Freeman is great
Roll Tribe 💯 #Clevelanddddd
Then they go and lose 4-2 the very next game💀💀
And nearly killing someone...lol..Poor guy

I think Miles Straw is a better center fielder but can't hit his weight

Call them what you will but they'll always be the Indians.

They haven't secured the Ohio Cup with this win.
I just mean like for this series, ik it goes through the year though
how do you say "nearly killing someone" and not show the highlight or give any context... come on man, do better
Because the highlight video isn't out yet! I posted it 20 minutes after the game, and copyright is wierd sometimes
@@spencerpremier no problem man, I just like saying do better whenever I can like a leftist retard

the indians wont get past the yankees in the playoffs. thats facts
