The Guardians were crushed 10-2 by the Nationals today.
A while back, I went round and round with a Twitter reply guy who said that Tanner Bibee had been “awful.” I pointed out that he had not been awful save for the particular game about which he was commenting afterwards. Bibee than proceeded to put up a 3.08 xERA in the next 30 innings. Then, tonight happened. Bibee gave up seven runs on five homers. That was, indeed, awful. Is it indicative of a future problem? I don’t think so. But, man, it was a bad night. Perhaps offered in solidarity to the Cavs next door? Stephen Vogt was frank saying that he didn’t see much in the way of execution tonight from Bibee. Bibee said he would be too emotional if he tried to talk about what happened tonight. He was upset with himself.
Perhaps more distressingly, the Guardians were dominated by Zach Littell for 7 innings. They need to start hitting the ball, period.
On the bright side, Logan Allen threw the ball well (3 innings, 6 K’s) and saved the bullpen. Hey, try him as a reliever because with Sabrowski gone for a bit, we need the lefty help. Codi Heuer returned for Sabrowski, whom Vogt said they’d have MRI results on tomorrow. Sounds like they are hopeful it’s “just” elbow soreness. Gulp.
Rhys Hoskins hit a home run and Angel Martinez had the other RBI. Forget this one and get ready to hit the Nationals’ one good pitcher tomorrow.
