But hey, we have another bar with way to expensive food, as the team slowly shifts its demographic up the pay scale, alienating more and more fans every day. Sorry...bitter today...

And to be clear, I'm not talking about the #Guardians front office kowtowing to the fans, but when you look at algorithms, if you're asking fans to pay ridiculous sums of money it now costs to goto games, perhaps the percentage you take fans into account in said algorithm should be a bit higher?

As it stands, it really feels like the #Guardians front office has a conservative model that doesn't take the fans into account, even minutely. Hell, even other front offices are sick of dealing with them. Chris Antonetti, the boy that cries wolf. And the fans are left with yearly frustration.

I read somewhere that @stephenking.bsky.social received a letter from a reader that didn't want to die before he finished The Dark Tower series. It was one of the reasons he expedited the writing. He understood/understands how much the fans NEED the goods he delivered/delivers.

The #Guardians have been in the playoffs 14 times over the past 30 years. Still haven't had "anything can happen yet." Hell, our big game seven homer came in a loss. I'm not saying the front office needs to do insane things that blow everything up to make deals, BUT DO SOMETHING.

I get the "stay good" approach for small market teams, but if you aren't going to take a stab after an ALCS run, when are you? I hear people talk about the "just get into the playoffs and anything can happen." THE GUARDS HAVEN'T WON A WORLD SERIES SINCE 1948, HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT FOR #CLEVELAND?

Pretty typical lazy bullshit from this booth...

ZIPs projections for the Guards seem...interesting and low...if they'd just grab a starter or two...trade...free agent...but I think they missed to boat on an outfielder. Profar at 3/42 woulda been fun...

And the Dodgers have just muscled their way through most of the notable free agents...

MLB is a trainwreck, and while the top tier are getting their cash, does this make the market equitable for everyone in the MLBPA?

Top heavy...
