Check out the Cleveland Guardians, the club that gives baseball fans who don’t live on the East Coast or in Los Angeles a reason to hope and a reason to cheer.
The Guardians are the majors’ throwback team. They ranked 29th in baseball in home runs during the regular season but had the fewest strikeouts. They put the ball in play, run the bases well and win with defense. They lock games away with a filthy bullpen anchored by closer Emmanuel Clase, who has a 1.36 ERA and led baseball with 42 saves.
Meanwhile, the big spenders are choking. The Mets’ Max Scherzer, their supposed ace, made $43.3 million this season, well more than half of Cleveland’s payroll. But on Friday, Scherzer was blasted by the Padres for seven runs, including four home runs, in just 4 2/3 innings in a 7-1 loss. As he trudged off the mound, Scherzer was showered with boos from the sellout crowd of 41,621 fans at Citi Field.
They did it under the guidance of veteran manager Terry Francona, one of the savviest men in the game. After dealing with serious health issues for two seasons, Francona, 63, is making a case to be a Hall of Fame manager. He won two World Series with Boston and now has the Guardians in the ALDS.
