the season is just getting started

Just 7 games into the season. Stuck in neutral. A W by 3 last night. The most recent result always counts most. Pulling the other way, the -7 run differential tells a worse story than the record.

Guardians News

Chase DeLauter narrowly escaped a season-altering injury during the Guardians' latest game against the Dodgers, leaving fans both relieved and anxious. Meanwhile, the team's pitching ace Gavin Williams delivered a dazzling performance, striking out 10 batters and showcasing why he was such a crucial asset in last year's late playoff push. His dominance on the mound, with a 1.74 ERA during his previous run, has the Guardians feeling hopeful as they aim to build on their 3-3 start. However, the offense continues to sputter, highlighted by a troubling xwOBA of .279 and a hard-hit percentage of just 20.8%. As the Guardians look to secure their first series win of the season, they must find a way to improve their hitting and build momentum against a tough Dodgers squad.
