Baseball is back, and the excitement is palpable! After a long four-month hiatus, Guardians fans are in for a treat today with not one, but two Cleveland spring training games to kick off the season. But here’s where it gets interesting—how will the team’s young pitchers fare in their first real test of the year? At 3:05 PM ET, Logan Allen takes the mound against the Reds and Chase Burns, while just five minutes later, Joey Cantillo faces off against Garrett Stallings and the Brewers in split-squad action. And this is the part most people miss—these early matchups can set the tone for the entire season, giving us a sneak peek at what’s to come. We’ll be hosting Spring Training game threads starting at 3 PM ET, so you can join the conversation and discuss both games right here. Tune in to Guardians’ radio to catch the Guardians-Reds game live.
In other news, Tanner Bibee, Logan Allen, and Travis Bazzana recently joined Rosey on Guardians’ Weekly (https://open.spotify.com/episode/34W4iKagLs5gI129fnwk9B?si=uFsWf5eKRsefUBeI_0Rk4w) for an insightful discussion about the upcoming season. Their perspectives shed light on the team’s mindset and goals, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at what to expect.
But here’s where it gets controversial—Angels’ owner Arte Moreno recently claimed that winning isn’t among the top five priorities for Angels fans, based on fan surveys. This statement feels eerily similar to the notion that “fans prefer GuardsFest every three years instead of annually.” Is this a genuine reflection of fan sentiment, or just another example of teams gaslighting their fanbase? It’s a bold claim that’s sure to spark debate. What do you think? Are teams truly listening to their fans, or are these surveys just a way to justify decisions that favor ownership over the fanbase? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—we’re eager to hear your take on this heated topic!
