Gambling Controversies in College Sports

Let's talk about a condition many people haven't heard of. And it turns out, it's more common than you think, Payroni's disease, or PD for short. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis. This can cause a curve with a bump during an erection, and for some men lead to pain during intimacy and may impact mental health. It may also lead to anger and frustration, depression, lowered self esteem, and even withdraw from sexual activity and physical intimacy. Because of this, some men can feel embarrassed or reluctant to talk about PD. The actual cause of PD isn't always known. In some cases, it may be linked to a minor injury or repeated injuries during sex or other physical activity. The good news is, PD is treatable. If you notice a curve with a bump, a trusted urology specialist can help diagnose it and walk you through your options, including non surgical treatment.

The final from progressive field in Cleveland, it's the guardians sweeping the Tigers again the final we got to go back to Saturday because they didn't play on Sunday. The final on Saturday was the Guardians three. The Tigers one , a little two game weekend sweep and the Guardians are now six and oh against the the Tigers on season. I'm David Barris, lifelong Cleveland Baseball fan and I want to talk about the actual game on the field, the thing I enjoy watching baseball being played, although the thing we're going to be talking about mostly this episode takes place in the trainers room , right ? In the doctor's office because the Guardians somehow managed to lose the top three hitters in their lineup on Saturday . And it was honestly it's surprising to see them pull out the victory with that much going on with that many guys going down to injury. They went three to on Friday and three one on Saturday. So it's really all about the pitching that carried them to victory over Detroit in this in this weekend series . Again, Sunday they don't play. This is one of those ones that bothers me because like they could have it's a one hundred forty start. I don't know why you're starting so late on a Sunday when it's two East Coast teams like could have been a twelve thirty start and this there was a huge thunder st hormuge, band of thunder storms that came across Lake Erie and hit the Cleveland area . Tornado warnings and everything like it was nasty , but it didn't hit until like three thirty four o'clock , at least down by where I am at. And so it's one of those things where it's like could you just could you just like announce you knew it was coming? So could you just announced on Saturday like, hey, we're bumping the start time up to noon . Whenever you can get down here, get down here, but we want to get this game in. And you know, we could have had a they could have played. They could have played. I just hate , you know, the skies open, you know, the skies cleared up for a little bit in the middle of the day there . It was a beautiful Sunday morning and they could have squeezed a baseball game in before this storm hit, but they knew once the storm came it was going to be a mess and so they just postpone the game and then scheduled a double header for September. So that's a little disappointing way to end the weekend, but honestly, it forced me to watch World Cup soccer. I was like , I mean, I'm chasing the kids around. We're playing. I'm like, what else am I going to put on the TV? I can put on another baseball game where I can put on some World Cup soccer. So why not? Why not mix it up a little bit on a Sunday? So we don't see Detroit again until the middle of August we're there for three games and then and then we see them at the beginning of September , it'll be a four game set, a Friday night double, a Friday double header , I think a day game then a night game. And then yeah, weekend set with them in September and that's it. We really don't it feels like we barely play Detroit this season. Maybe it's just because it's so spread out , but it's not like other ALCR teams where it feels like we're living with them for a while, going back and forth with them for a while like we see Chicago twice in like a two week stretch coming up here. We'll see Minnesota before and after the all star break . Yeah, it's just the schedule feels really spread out this year . So yeah, a little bit disappointing on Sunday. But the real disappointment is what went down Saturday and I guess we're going to go in reverse order because the top three hitters in the Guard ians lineup go down in order in order of injury, Chase Deloter starts things out by running into the right field wall trying to make a catch . It honestly didn't look like he hit that hard he hit the padding. You know, you've seen it a hundred times a guy bounce off the padding there Glabor Torres first battery the game with a leadoff double can't tell those actually able to get out of that would be how they score their one run. Okay, so that run would score but that'd be it for the Tigers on the game So yeah, so he bounces off the affield wall would have been home running two out of thirty ballparks by the way . And yeah, you've seen it a hundred times and just this time he just hit a right and they still don't exactly know like they did all the scans and I think everything came back negative so far although they're still analyzing it because you know it's one thing to just to knock the wind out of yourself , it's another thing to bruise a rib, it's another thing to crack a rib, right ? And in small injury, but really hard to do any kind of athletic activity with a broken rib, you know, think of all the ways you got to stretch and throw and twist and ain't gonna feel good if you actually broke a rib. So they're they're checking them out. They're they're still deciding as of as of this morning. I haven't heard any news . They're still checking him out and making sure that all the scans are clean and that he that he can just rest for a few days and come back . So word is still out actually on Chase Delauder for Angel Martinez he fouls one off his foot and another you've seen it a hundred times. You've seen a guy foul ball off his foot and so this was just a bruise. This was just a contusion . They actually said he was probably able to pinch hit on Sunday if needed and they figure now with two days off with the off day of Monday and the next series not starting up in Milwaukee until Tuesday that Anja Martina should be available to play. So that's that's good news there we already have a thin outfield, right? So we don't want to be stripping away so many outfielders because another outfielder is now going to be forced to play some third base, which is Daniel Schneimen now that Jose Ramirez and it's the dreaded broken Hammate bone. He wasn't the only one. Somebody else went down to a handmate bone on Saturday or Sunday as well. So he wasn't the only one this weekend. But I mean, it's been going around the league and in the article about it. Tim Stebbins, you know, wrote about Francisco Lindor and Corbyn Carroll both had hammate bone injuries in February and they were back before the season started. Ramirez did this a few years ago in like late August and was back before the end of September on his other hand . So it's a road he's been down before surgery has not been scheduled yet as of this morning, but I'm sure they're going to get him into surgery in the next day or two . And we'll have to see like usually you're talking like five to seven weeks . He came back in a month last time . What is going to happen this time? Like Ramirez is known for making miracles happen and fighting his way back quickly. So I mean, hopefully it's still early in the season's early enough in the season that yeah maybe we get to the All Star Break without Ramire , but maybe by the trade deadline and almost that's how they're going to spin it, you know, that's that's how I'm sure Antonede will give some so I can already hear the press conference where Anton etti like',s well we didn',t feel like we need to make a trade because, you know, adding Jose Ramirez back to the lineup is as good as making a trade. So I can already hear the press conference from Antoninetti. And yeah, so it's not it's not going to kill the season None of these three injuries should kill the season. Like Chase Deloters obviously is a little bit of a mystery right now, but you're assuming a few days rest and Deloter will be back too. So yeah, so the move for Jose R amirez is they were wondering, you were wondering how are you going to get Gabriel Arius back in this lineup ? Well there you go. Suddenly you need a third baseman, you need an infielder and Gable Arius is ready to come back from the injured list. So they activated him. He was batting eighth and starting a third base against I believe they were supposed to have a lefty on the mound . Yeah, Yeah, casey Mys on Sunday. So they was going with a right handed bat. You probably are going to see a lefty ready platoon with Schneimen and Arius at third base and then if Arius is at third base, it does free schnim enough to play some center field, play some other outfield spots if needed . I don't think Arius is coming up to play any short stop. I think that I think vote made it pretty clear that Rokio was our short stop. Arius is being called up to play third base with Ramirez out. Now when Ramirez comes back, what happens with Gabriel Arius? Well, we'll see how everybody's hitting Arius remember they're trying to get him to be utility player. So he can play other positions. He can't even play maybe some corner outfield. You also have David Fry who could play some third base and corner outfield. So you've got your super you 're going to see more of the utility man that David Fry was two years ago that made him so valuable . So that's how they're going to cover third base. You got three guys here basically that can cover third base in Ramirez's absence, the real absence will be in the two hole in the lineup and I think Rocheo was penciled in there. They kind of wiped it away this once the game got postponed but on the MLB app, but I believe Rokio was scheduled to bat second and that's, you know, that'd be my first suggestion. That'd be my first call. Rocheo has been having a really strong season, leaves the series batting two hundred seventy four with a seven hundred fifty and two OP S been driving and runs . So yeah, let's let's give him a chance. Let's let them hit second and see what happens Bazana is you're going to assume continue to bet lead off mostly you know, against righties against Lefties, they do tend to mix it up a little bit , but yeah, it's going to this is going to receive Hoskins and Kyle Manzardo are really going to have to step up maybe back third. I think manzardo was scheduled to bath third. We'll see if Deloter is out for an extended period of time. That's the one that is a big mystery. Like if Deloter does go on the aisle with say a bruised rib or something like that and they just they know he's going to need two weeks You've got a list of guys . I mean Pete Halpin it be easy to put back on the roster you've got you don't have George Velera anymore. They actually had a DFA George Valera to make room on the forty man roster for Gabriel Aries to come back from the injured list. When you're on the sixty day injured list, you're removed from the forty man roster. So it created a roster crunch situation. And so George Valera is the odd man now. They DFA him and that's that hurts, man. I got to be honest with you. That really hurts Let's see what he was batting for A Valera was hitting two hundred and seventy six with a seven hundred eight andy four OPS four home runs . Okay, not terrible. He was looks like he was having an RI season there for Columbus . Yeah, that's I guess it wasn't slugging that much. four hundred and seventeen slugging . three hundred and sixty seven on base. Not terrible . Strikeout to walks, twenty walks to twenty six strikeouts. So yeah, there was nothing wrong with Ge whatorge Valaireer was doing at AAA . And in fact, in a different world, Valera maybe could have been called up for Chase Delauder going on the ILP, but man, they need to make room on the roster. So Valera's gone. So yeah, Pete Helpin, you got Kahlia Watson who could possibly come up and make his major league debut. You still see JKIS who could play the outfield not Nolan Jones anymore. He was traded , did we talk about this already? He was traded to was it Minnesota for cash basically ? So he's out, but you also have you know, they've been trying to get one burrito to play corner out field . You've got Ralphie Valasquez that they've been trying to get to play corner outfield. You got Cooper English that they've been trying to get to play corner outfield . So that would be the crazy one, right? Like the easy moves would be K afis or Pete Helpin . Those would be the easy moves. The fun moves would be Calia Watson, Cooper Ingel and Ralphie Velasquez. So if we needed a corner outfielder there's the safe moves they can make and then there's the crazy moves they can make so yeah so we'll wait to see what happens there and yeah again Ramirez I think, we're going to miss him more in the two hole in the lineup than at third base. I think they can cover third base defensively. Although he is making great plays. I think he made one like a really tough short hop and then fired across the first to get the out in this one. So you will miss his glove a little bit defensively at third base, although I think Schneimen does find there but the two hole in the lineup, man, who is going to feel? I'm sure you'll see a little bit of a rotating cast. I don't know if it'll always be Rochio , but it would be great if he took the reins and ran with it and then just hit in the top of the lineup for the rest of the season. That'd be fantastic. I mean, if he if Rochio could handle it, the second two spot in the lineup and you have Bazana Rocchio, then when Ramirez comes back Ramirez can continue to hit third, chase delauder could hit cleanup, even though I know he's not like Chase Lauder even said like I'm not that big of a home run hitter. That's like not typically my game . Even though he goes off for so many home runs early in the season , you still feel like that's a pretty strong bat to back clean up and like just think how much it lengthens the lineup. Now you got like Manzardo Reese Hoskins banning fifth and sixth yeah and then Quan seventh you know like it's you give some depth to the lineup there around how Martinez even six or seventh in that situation . So I know everybody on Blue Sky and I'm sure on Twitter too we're freaking out with Ramirez going down with an injury, you know, throwing their hands up Whoa is me , you know , they're doing Randy Quaid quotes from Major League two , you know, turn the bus around, turn this thing into a parking lot, all that stuff . But I don't know why I woke up Monday morning and I'm just like , let's see how this goes. Injuries do create opportunities for other players and it sucks like it's good it's not , you know, more there are plenty of other injuries out there that would have that would have sucked more but a Hamme bone seems to be something guys come back from. You do , you know, sometimes guys do lose a little bit of power because they just can't grip as tight as they did or you know before the injury . So I don't think it's affected Corbyn Carroll and Francisco Lindor and some of the other guys that have gone down recently with Hamme bone injuries . So we'll see how Ramirez and hopefully the Guardians give them time to recover too. Like hopefully the guys playing third base and filling in and Gabriel Arius and Schneiman can hold their own a little bit so Ramirez doesn't feel like he needs to be back the second he can come back, you know ? Let's hold things down for our captain a little bit, right? All right, so that's the injury news. We should see Martinez back on Tuesday, Delauder's still a question mark, and Ramirez is out at least a month. Let's talk about Pyroni's disease or PD. It's not widely talked about and some men may feel reluctant to bring it up, but it's more common than you'd think. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis, causing a curve with a bump during an erection. That for some men may lead to pain during intimacy and impact mental health.

Let's get into the actual game on the field now because you 're six and zero against the Tigers man, you just yeah play good baseball mistake free baseball . You make some great defensive plays against the Tigers Rochio had the one where he's in I think it was the second inning of the first game of Friday night where he's he's ranging out let's see if I could find the actual hit here I don't remember how many outs there were where he's ranging out into left field he's running with his back to left field Field was it Coke Keith ? Yeah, they call it a lineout, maybe because it was to an infielder, but it's a thirty four degree launching. Oh, it's a bloop up there. Had an eight hundred and ninety expected batting average because it's in no man's land It turns out no man's land is Brian Rocheo land because he with his back to the field a little bit Willie Maze as they they kind of they they shouted out Willie Maze on the broadcast if you don't know W theillie Mayaze catch I'm talking about. I know I educate I try to educate on a lot of baseball things, but Willie Mayes made a catch over his head in the World Series in nineteen fifty four against the Cleveland Indians and that's one of the greatest catches of all time . And so yeah, so anybody running with their back to home plate and making a catch is going to get compared to Willie Mayes making that catch and but this one was fun because Rochio just like it was a little bit to the left and Rokio just kind of stabs the glove out there at the last minute. So he really did , you know, it's kind of a thing they teach outfielders like turn and run and then find the ball and that's kind of what Rokio does here. He turns, he runs. He knows he's got to get he knows he's got to get back. He knows it's way over his head , but he's able to get that glove and he's able to find it and then just poke that glove out at the last second and snagg it. So he was even impressed with himself. We got Rochio to smile . We got, you know, Kwan was pumped up. He couldn't he an knew he wasn't going to get there. It was Rokio or nobody. By was giving him applause from the mound. It was a beautiful defensive play . Before crashing into the outfield wall, Delauder had made a sliding stop. I believe on Friday night in right field. So the Guardians were playing some solid defense around. I told you about the Ramirez play and they did just enough offensively . They they manufacture two runs in the second inning. Hamilton was a little hot on the radio broadcast because after a leadoff double by Rhys Hoskins, one hundred six point nine off the bat , Martinez flies out and Hoskins can't advance so that's what that's what kind of got under Hamilton's belt a little bit there because then Kwan would fly out to center field, outman would make a diving catch and Hoskins is like he's like if Hoskins could have moved off Ronaldo Martinez is hit then, Kwan could have sackflied him in. So, you know, there they weren't manufacturing the run the way they needed to and they were leaving Hoskins stranded on second base, but Patrick Bailey, that's right . h Littighting Patrick Bailey comes through with one hundred and three point four mile per hour line drive eight to relaunching a line drive single and drives in Hoskins to score the first run and then Rochio rockets a triple into the right field corner even to the right field corner just past the right fielder who was out there. It was Carrie Carpenter, I think, right ? And Carpenter just doesn't do the things you gotta do to knock the ball down like he was trying to flail and get it with his glove, but like if you really wanted to knock this thing down you could you could have slid and used your body and and made sure it stayed in front of you. Instead he goes flailing past it and the ball carroms back off the wall and Rokio is able to let out a triple. Of course, then he would end there. But it's still an RBI triple. So they put across two runs. Bazana would fly out to end the threat and there you go to nothing Cleveland in the second outman would yeah outman would impact this game for sure . Diving catch there in the second and then the newest Tiger would hit a home run in his first at bat, the ninth hitter in the lineup. Look, now by the pitches fantastic in this one. Bye goes seven innings, pitches into the eighth, two hits. That's it. Two runs, two walks, but they don't hurt them. Eight strikeouts because the two hits were two solo home runs. On ninety one pitches, he's only hard hit six times. Meanwhile, Jack Flarety on the other side only lasts three innings. I think he's up three hits, two runs, one wonk, one strikeout on the sixty three pitches. He is hard hit six times. So we were hammering Fl arity . We only had the two runs to show for it off of him, but we were hammering him with some hard hit balls. Yeah, it's interesting those two walks for Bye come in the first inning. He actually with one out he walks Torres and Riley Green but then he gets filthy and actually strikes out the side. He has struck out the leadoff hitter McGonagall and then strikes out Dylan Dingler and Carrie Carpenter to get out of it. So the walks don't hurt him. It's the solo home runs that hurt them. So Outman gets him here in the third inning, one hundred seven point five off the bat, thirty degree launching on four hundred eighteen feet would have been home running thirty out of thirty ballparks. Forget about it and then it would be the last batter he would face the leadoff hitter in the eighth and expenser Torquilsen gets him at one hundred five point nine thirty two degree launch angle four hundred sixteen feet would have been home running twenty five out of thirty ballparks . So yeah, there you go. Those are the two hits that he gives up both on sinkers , both kind of middle of the plate , two seam sinkers . Let's see here. The one two Torglesen was kind of down in away to the right handed hitter, but middle of the plate. I would still call this middle quadrant outmans was middle a little bit elevated to the left hand a hitter. Yeah. So two sinkers in the middle of the plate and they hit him for home runs, but he was kind of living in that, you know, he was challenging them in the middle of the play all game. It was working for him. If we go to the Wiffs, he actually has a ton of whiffs in the middle of the play. He's got two cutters right down the middle, one of them to outman , Dylan Dingler is challenging right down the middle of the plate strikes out Carrie Carpenter with a fastball forcing fastball right down the middle of the plate and that was in the first inning and so he's in trouble he's got runners on first in second , he walked those two guys. He's trying to get out of the first inning. It's a one to count and he just blows them away with a ninety five point six miles per hour fastball. I mean dead center and he just challenged them and got away with once. So usually not a great place to live against a power hitter like Carripenter, but he gets away with it . But yeah , Bobby , while we're talking pitching here , Bobbye was throwing to all four quadrants. He was doing the thing we wanted to see from him. That sinker literally he was throwing to every part of the plate with that sinker. It's it's no longer the tanner Bobby slash he is filling up the strike zone mostly because he didn't throw the sweeper a lot like the sweeper is one of the things that always makes the you know him go down and away a lot down and away with that sweeper. The curve ball he was throwing in and out a lot and then this sinker he was throwing in and out. The cutter he was throwing in and out. He was throwing to both sides of the plate . Honestly God, that cutter is filthy. It's got a lot of drop to it. I looked at his individual page. It doesn't like compared to other cutters in the league , it does actually doesn't have that much vertical drop . It's one of the lower ones in the league, but I don't know. It felt like on the day he was getting a ton of vertical drop on that cutter. It does have great horizontal movement . His pitches move horizontally pretty good compared to the rest of the league. There's a lot of red numbers there in the horizontal movement where there's a lot of blue numbers in the vertical movement on his pitches, which tells me compared to the rest of the league, he's above average for horizontal movement and below average for vertical movement. But I thought that cutter had a really good drop on it on Friday night , almost acting like a slider . And if we go to his player breakdown page here , yeah, he had four whiffs on night and swings, a forty four percent whiff rate. Add in four called strikes's a for. Itty two percent CS W on that pitch and he got three strikeouts on it. Overall, it's a thirty three percent wiff rate. He was also getting whiffs on that two seamer, he was also getting whiffs on the fastball on the curveball and one change up . Nine call strikes on the sinker, sixteen call strikes total. So it's a thirty three percent wiff rate and a thirty four percent CSW four tanner BIBY Average Exit Velocity of them was eighty eight point six . So they weren't necessarily hitting hard hit balls . Five of the six hard hit balls came on the sinker on the two seamer and that's where the two home runs he gave up were , but he was eleven for twelve with first pitch strikes on that sinker. Overall, it's a seventy six percent first pitch strike for Tanner Bibi. So he was attacking and then was pretty much just leaning on the sinker . The second time through the order, he mixed it up a little bit more with cutters and fastballs, but he was mostly leaning on that sinker the most through the order all three times . So that was his pitch on the day was the two seamer. Yeah, normally on the year he's twenty one percent with that pitch. He was at forty three percent on this day. So I think Patrick Bailey might have said something after the game where like look he was just feeling good with it and we ran with it. Like it was just one of those things in the moment. It might not have even been the game plan, but he was feeling good with it and we went with it . So yeah, so Hunter Gaddis is able after gives up the solo home run to Torquilsen. It's a three to two gam.es It's this is a tight game. It is a tight baseball game, even though it's nine hits for the Guardians to two hits for the Tigers. It's still a tight game . Gaddis comes in, shuts them down on thirteen pitches to get out of the eighth inning and then Kate Smith shuts him down in the ninth inning , including a strikeout for Kate Smith ends up with two saves in this. So he's not quite on the same pace that he was on in April and May but he is up to he's halfway through the month and he's up to twenty three saves. So he's he's going to have to turn it on a little bit if he wants to stay on this you know six,ty save pace that he started the season on , but he's at twenty three right now. So still a good chance to take down Claus franchise record for saves in a season, which was what in the forties, right? So yeah, so the bullpen is able to hold things down for Bye and get him another W . And again, I know in the long run, Ws don't matter for pitchers, but it probably matters to Tanner Bye. He's probably glad to see that and where Flairdy moves to one and eight on the season . Offensively it was the bottom of the order that was kind of holding things down. The Guardians get their insurance run in the sixth inning on how Martinez doubling and then Steven Kuwan singling them in just that easy Martinez hits a gap actually would have been home running one out of thirty ballpark .body Some either gets Yankee St adium or Houston . Yankee Stadium. All right, there we go. And then Kwan is able to single him in next batter up. So they don't even have to worry about manufacturing or playing small ball or anything like that. That's the way you get it done from the bottom of the order and the bottom of the order would do a lot here. Hoskins in the fifth hole would, you know, score Martines, both with doubles in the sixth hole, Kwan with two hits in an RBI from the seventh spot Patrick Bailey with two hits an RBI in a run scored . So your bottom three hitters. In fact, it was all bottom hitters in lineup because Torgilson is down there batting seventh for the Tigers . So all five RBIs on the day came from seven through nine hitters in both lineups . Kind of a weird day. Kind of a weird day offensively. Chase the Lottery was two for three with a double and a walk. So he had himself a good offensive game on Friday, although nobody else around him was doing anything offensively to drive him in . So yeah bottom of the lineup coming through on a Friday night . So good solid win by your guardians right there. Then on Saturday, right? We got to face Scubble, Scubble back from that injury. Oh my God, he was he was tearing it up and his rehab starts. He's got to face Cantilo two lefties on the mound and Cantilo would win the battle. Like you know, you give Scubble a little bit of leniency because he is coming back from an injury. All right, fine, but Scubble go es four and two thirds, five hits, three run three runs to earned, one walk and four strikeouts, does give up a home run. We'll get to that and eighty pitches. He's hard hit five times Cantillo kind of with a little bit of a five and fly only through seventy nine pitches, but five inches pitch, six hits, only one run, no walks for Joey Cantillo. That is the top storyline of this Saturday well the injuries are the top storyline. That's okay. A secondary storyline is Joey Cantilla was zero walks to four strikeouts, keeps the ball in the ballpark. That's another top storyline for him. seventy nine pitches , he's hard hit six times. So yeah, can't tell wins the battle. He doesn't none of his demons show up again. And they know remember he's coming off a start where against the Texas Rangers he gave up three home runs. It was only two walks to seven strikeouts, but three home runs given up in that game. He gave up seven runs total . So this was a very good bounce back. He needed this as a bounce back game in June because his last his last three starts before this he had given a four runs plus four runs to the nationals, four runs to the Yankees and seven runs to the Rangers. Very good offensive, but you know, come on, we need more can't hello. And so this was the more you know, it might have been five and fly, but he got the job done gets the W in this one. So he did his job. In the end, he did his job . Yes, gets the W and then a bunch of holds Holderman comes in strikes out two in the sixth inning. You got Hunter Gaddis out there now for the seventh inning. I'm guessing was just a lefty righty thing they. went So with Gaddys in the seventh despite a walk he gets out of the seventh inning . Tim Heron is in there gets two strikeouts but also gives up a hit. So Kate Smith comes in for the four out save and does get into a little bit of trouble in the ninth head two runners on but a ground out to new third basement Daniel Schneimen to end the game. So Kate Smith racking up those saves in this series and they bullpen hold, you know, the bullpen is a huge part of these wins against the Tigers being six and the Tigers. So the bullpen is yet to falter against them . So yeah, what was working for Cantilo on this one? We'll get to the offense in a second here . What was working for Scuba in this one? Scuba had fifteen call strikes throwing a ton of sliders attacking the strike zone with sliders, seven call strikes on his slid er , but he only had a twenty four percent wiff rate. Like we were doing pretty good against that fourteen fastball. We put seven of them in play . We hit two of them hard . We were doing okay against that ninety nine mile per hour fastball from Terrick Scubble . What was working for Joey Cantello and this one went heavy on the curveball for the year is only twenty percent curveballs today , well Saturday he was thirty two percent with the curve ball, six called strikes with it even three whiffs, not a high whiff rate, only twenty two percent whiff rate , but sixteen called strikes . So he was attacking a little bit the average exit velocity often was only eighty five point three . They hit the four seam fastball pretty hard. They they put four in play, three had ninety five plus exit velocity and three of them went for hits. So the four seam fastball was a little bit of a struggle, but he didn't use it that much. He was mostly curve , change, cutter and then mixing in four seam fastball fourth on the day Yeah, he was pretty even across all his pitches the first time through the order and went heavy on the curveballs the second time through the order so yeah that,'s what Cantilla was doing on the day. Now the Guardians offense. We get three runs. We actually, I love it. We run our way into you don't usually say you run your way in the outs. We run our way into a run in the second inning Bazana would get on base with a single Stuart Fairchild would get hit by a pitch. They would pull off the double steel . We got speed on the base pass. You might as well use it with Bazana and Fairchild. So they're fearless against Dingler there at the catcher spot and they go for the double steel and Dingler throws the ball in the left field and Bazanna is able to come in to score. So it feels like I don't know why. It feels like every time we face Scubble, the tigers get in their head and do something silly, some bad play. I'm remembering Scubble trying to long snap the ball through his legs, right? Because that a playoff game, right? And now you 've got an usually reliable dingler just rocketing one in the left field and allowing Bazana to come in and score . So the Guardians run their way into a run in the first inning , then Ramirez would double . Schneimen would be pinch hitting four chase to laughter. Schneimen actually take over in right field before having to move to third base once Ramirez got hurt they were moving guys all over. Reese Hoskins ends up in left field at one point in this because they just running out of bodies and Hoskins had a pretty bad play. It didn't turn into a run, but he had a bad play where he like got pinned against the left got all turned around and then pinned against the left field wall. And for some reason Quan backing him up like wasn't actually backing him up. He was more like he was trying to go for the catch and they both get pinned against the wall. So they gave up a double there , but I don't think we're going to see it was good to know that in a pinch Hoskins can handle it. I actually didn't see enough of the game to know did he make a catch? Did one actually come out to him out there that he caught in left field , but yeah, it's it's good to know that he could dust off his outfield mit and go out there for a few innings and and save the roster that way . But it was Schneimen who was playing the real hero , Schneimen who came in to hit for Chase the Lauder and take over in right field once he couldn't stay in the game . I think right he tries to take his first at bat. Yeah, he singled in his first at bat but then was like chugging, you know, chugging it, holding his ribs going down to first base and clearly was in discomfort. So Schneimen comes in for him. So after Ramirez with a bl oop double and they were talking about this on the broadcast how Ramirez and Anjal Martinez were both like they're they swing at bad pitches but they make it work somehow some way somehow they can make it find a way to make it work Ramirez bloops one in for a double. This is before he leaves with the Hamme injury, which I believe would be in the fifth inning . Yeah, he popped out in the fifth inning. That's when it happened . Daniel Schneimen com es up and gets one at one hundred five point nine miles per hour. In fact, let's go to the at bat. Let me see if I could find it here. Scubble against Schneimen it's a fastball he missed with a fastball up and into a lefty and how many times have we seen it lefty on lefty they were trying to throw him away the catcher was definitely set up away Scoo.b al misses inside with a fastball on a was on an zero two count too . He had taken one of the knees for a strike. One, he had chased a change up below the zone , instead of going back to the change up and trying to go out of the zone again, they were trying to go up and away with a fastball but he left it inside kind of above the belt, we'll say, towards the top of the zone and Schneimen turns on at one hundred five point nine miles per off the bat, thirty six degree launch angle four hundred seventeen feet out to right center would have been a home run in thirty out of thirty ball parks no doubt about it from Daniel Schneimen and that was big like that just set the guardians it was it that was the offense for the guardians it just set them up for success three three one win there set the pitching and the bullpen up to hold down that game. The Tigers had way more hits in this one. They had nine hits in this one a top of the order came through a little bit more in this one. They just couldn't they just couldn't come through and score after that first inning. They had nothing after that first inning . So I think it was Dingler who got the triple. That was the one over Rhys Hoskins head and I don't think he scores on that . Let me see if I could find it here on the scoreboard. It was yeah to lead off the sixth inning. You get a strike out of Riley Green, Carrie Carpenter's hit by the pitch, Torquilson strikes out, and then Colke flies out so they strand that runner at third base in the sixth inning. Great job by the pitching staff there. Who'd have been in the sixth inning? That was Holderman. Yeah, Holderman gets it done in that sixth inning despite that leadoff triple because he's got none left field or Rhys Hoskins out there in left field . But yeah, the top of their order was hitting. They just couldn't turn it in and runs and the guardians offense does enough . Again, the top of the order kind of getting more involved in this game. You have Stewart Fairchild going two for two. Nothing happens because of it, but Stuart Fairjaw going to for two in the seventh spot playing right field well eventually playing right field. They probably started in left for Quan and then moved over to right field once Schneimen mo ves to third base . So yeah, fun. What a fun day for vote and his , you know, just crossing names out. Everybody, everybody in the press box having to cross a bunch of names out and pencil and some new names in the box score . But yeah, the Guardian's offense does just enough and schneemen with the big heroic two run home run, which is the difference in the game. So it's two solid wins. Yes, you know, you know, offensively, it's not the loudest game . They go one for five with runners in scoring position. That be the home run on Saturday , what were they Friday night? They're not quite solving their problems with runners in scoring position here. They're three for eleven, which honestly three for eleven isn't bad. For the Guardians, I'll take three for eleven with runners in scoring position because it's enough, it's enough to scratch across three runs and get the job done. So as a low scoring affair between the Guardians and Tigers and the Guardians continue to come out on top against them. Now because we didn't play on Sunday, we're actually slipped technically in second place . We're tied with the White Sox for first, but they're literally one percentage point above us because they've played two less games than us. So that's just the way the math works out. So technically we're in a tie for first place now with the White Sox. We had been in the lead after Saturday, but the White Sox got the play on Sunday and beat the Dodgers. So the White Sox jump back up to the top with us. So yeah, we're doing the dance with them and it's going to be really interesting once we finally get to play them which is coming up at the end of this road trip we're going to end against the White Sox. So it's a big six game a nine game road trip. We go to Milwaukee, which is going to be tough, but we luckily don't face the Miz Jacob Mizarowski . We luckily avoid him because he is just on a tear right now , throwing one hundred and three hundred and four miles per hour, striking out fifteen hitters like he is on a tear right now. We don't have to face him on this three g setames in Milwaukee. And then we go to Houston for three and then we get the White Sox up in Chicago for for three. So we're going to be we're going to be tearing up the miles across the center of the United States there going up and down the center of the United States there . Before we come home for a big ten game homestand , our final homestand for the All Star Break, which includes four against the Chicago White Sox. So seven games before the All Star Break against the White Sox will definitely definitely decide who's going to be the leader in the American League Central heading into that all star break. So yeah, it's going to be it's going to be fun to kind of shake things out with them and see where we stand going toe to toe with those white socks who again the hitting has been pretty good. Pretty darn good that line up. And we'll see how their pitching holds up against us. All right, the only email we got was Marlon following up on the whole gambling conversation . And no I'm honestly shocked that Ramirez gets hurt and nobody emailed I didn't get any what was me email. I didn't get any burn it all down email from any of you. So I got nothing. I got no reaction from a Ramirez injury from a three injury day from any of you. Come on morning people . I know you got thoughts out there . But yeah, so he Marlon was giving me a little bit more of a backstory on Soresbee and what's going on in college football. So he was gambling on his team, but again, it wasn't games he was playing in and stuff like that . So he's still wondering what the difference is between this and Claus and Ortiz . He says, Well, I don't want to see Clause and Ortiz suit up for Cleveland ever again . I want consistency. This guy might manage to suit up in twenty twenty six while Cali and Ortiz await their fates in the court of law. It doesn't seem fair at all. What a mess, what a sorry mess, says Marlon in Birmingham. Yeah Yeah Soresby claimed the bets made him feel like I was supporting the team when I was not playing in games, much like fans betting on their hometown teams to win. He denied knowledge of o actober twenty second bet involving Indiana Hoosiers quarterback passing yards and a september twenty twenty three bet on the under for the first half of the Hoosier's game. So again, those are the type of bets where you could easily see a quarterback being able to influence those things. If it's actual statistics , then yeah, he could definitely be manipulating the system . He said , he said in the names he made wagers in the names of his friends and family of at least ninety thousand dollars over the course of four years while at Indiana and Cincinnati . Man , so yeah, it's a mess in college football right now. This isn't as clean
