MINNEAPOLIS -- As managerial debuts go, this was not one to remember. The same could be said for Aaron Civale's start and Bryan Shaw's relief appearance. Carl Willis saw his first game as a big-league manager go from a tie game to a 12-8 loss as the Twins scored nine runs in the fifth inning Friday night at Target Field. Civale started the fifth…

Owner Paul Dolan granted him that wish by giving the switch-hitter a seven-year, $141 million contract extension. Ramirez is happy about that, but what about the Guardians' fans? Right now this team is a one-man show. It's all Jose all the time. This isn't…

The Guardians have won seven of…

You read that right: Kansas City's win total is the same amount of games the club is below.500 in 2022. Things aren't going particularly well for a team that expected to improve on 2021's mark of 74-88. That was a 45.7% win rate, and this…

It was a season to remember for the Cleveland Guardians. In a year that preseason projections were not kind to them, the Guardians defied the odds, overcame the Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central, and clinched their first division title since 2018.

The home run is the most over-inflated stat in the history of baseball. For some reason, the value of hitting a home run means more to many than actually being the better player. Right now, Steven Kwan is sixth in odds to win the AL Rookie of the Year award. Our very own Betsided had Kwan sitting at sixth not that long ago. The top cat is the…

The legend of Cleveland Guardians rookie Steven Kwan continues to grow. Starting off his career 8-for-10 at the plate is impressive enough as it is, but there's more where that came from. Kwan has reached base 15 times as of Tuesday afternoon and has yet to swing and miss at a pitch. The young outfielder is already hitting for an impressive.692…

Well, that was certainly something. The Kansas City Royals went through as many ups and downs in their first series as one could expect.

Bobby Witt Jr. is enjoying a solid rookie season, becoming the fifth player to hit at least 20 home runs and steal at least 20 bases in his very first season.
