CLE Boxscore Beat

Two personal sports highlights from 2025: 1) My son and I made it to our 13th @MLB park together - @TruistPark, home of the @Braves. 2) Met @CleGuardians RP Cade Smith. Incredible pitcher...even better person. #HappyNewYear2026

Former #Indians 2016 3rd round pick, Aaron Civale picked up the save yesterday for the #Cubs in extras. It was his first save of the year and second of his career, both with the Cubs. #MLB #GuardsBall

#GuardsBall lineup one year ago on July 28: LF - Kwan CF - Angel 3B - Jose DH - Manzo 1B - Slamtana 2B - Schnee RF - Nolan SS - Rocchio C - Hedgey On paper, the lineup has improved this year with Bazzana and CDL, but still ranks 29th in AVG at .230 & last in OPS at .677. #MLB

Great end to summer ball as Luke Rizzo was selected NACSB hitter of the week. .435 avg, 5 HR, 18 RBI. 1.174 SLG

Landon Thome's left-handed swing is polished — compact, minimal load, feel for the barrel that produces hard contact to all fields. Gap power with pull-side lift already shows, more likely as he fills out. IQ and hands give him versatility across the infield. #2026MLBDraft

Our #MLBDraft guru @ShaunKernahan presents his Top 100 for next weekend's 2026 Draft. This is his personal ranking which differs a bit from @3QuarterSlot's MLB Draft Guide, which is out today on their site. prospects1500.com/mlb-draft/2026…
