, so here's a little cliff notes version: I love Tom Hamilton. He says funny/charming/sarcastic/notable things during broadcasts. When I use the hashtag, it's something he said on the radio. Simple as that.
José Ramírez is an absolute BOSS. Field clears post-fight and our hero marches himself back in 2nd base. No other players are on the field but Josey. Sandy stood out there almost as protection/backup. Absolutely baller. I could not love José more.

“It’s never happened in the history of baseball, folks. No team’s ever had 16 rookies make their debut and win the division.” Hammy’s right — this team is not just special, it’s historic.

In case you need another reason to love Steven Kwan….. He comes out and waves at the fans in the left field bleachers before the first pitch every game. 👋🏼⚾️❤️
Hammy: Javvy Baez still gets booed here because he was part of the 2016 Cubs.
Rosey: You hope that never goes away.
Hammy: He gets booed in Detroit, too, but it has nothing to do with the 2016 World Series.

25 games in 11 years.
According to Hammy, that's the number of games Cleveland played while mathematically eliminated from the playoffs during Tito's managerial run.
I'm enjoying Vogt and he has the potential to be great for a long time -- but, damn, Tito was otherworldly.
Just want to reiterate how freaking rare it is to have a generational talent that thinks like José Ramírez does. We are insanely lucky to have him as a Guardian. He's gonna be the organizational GOAT before it's said and done. He needs a ring.

I've thought about Tito a lot since the season began. I know he's following this team and is no doubt thrilled for their early success. I am so thankful for everything Tito brought to Cleveland baseball -- it's awesome to see that legacy being carried on with Vogt now.
Dre telling Hammy that the Guardos were cool with the rain delay because it meant another day they got to hang out with each other.
I just.... love this team so much.... 😭😭😭😭
Hammy calling out the fans just now.... that if the Guards had been swept in this series, how everyone would just say, "Oh, they can't beat real competition." But, as Hammy put it, the Guards have played toe-to-toe, especially yesterday and today. I'm proud of our kids.
“He remembers how Cleveland was the only team that wanted to sign him.” - Andre Knott
FANTASTIC article about our very own José Ramírez. What a superstar!!
Do other fans of other teams love their radio broadcasters as much as Cleveland fans love Hammy and Rosey? I don't really follow too many folks who are fans of other teams but I never see them posting about their broadcasters. Anyway... all I know is I love our guys.
2 years ago today, Jose Ramirez signed a 5 year extension with the Cleveland Guardians.
There's not a team in the MLB who wouldn't have tried to add Jose Ramirez to their ball club.
Never forget the day Jose chose the city of Cleveland over everything else. 🐐

When our guys lost, Tito just said, “they were just a little better than us today so they won.” When his guys lose, Boone blames butterfly wing flaps. Unreal.
Not only is having Brantley and Kluber throwing out first pitches perfect...so is having Josey and Cookie catching for them both. Just thoughtful and beautiful and meaningful. Great job, Guardians.
Former Guardians Corey Kluber and Michael Brantley, both members of the 2016 American League Championship team, tossed the Ceremonial First Pitch before the Home Opener today.

Kevin Hart is staying at the same hotel as the Guards and Rosey said Nolan Jones saw him and KHart goes, “you’re Nolan Jones from the Guardians!” What a life moment that must be!!
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt had no problem with Naylor's helmet-bashing celebration:
"Josh Naylor, man," said Vogt. "Emotional and charismatic and as long as he didn't concuss himself, I'm all right."
When asked (by a kiddo) what’s the funniest thing that ever happened during a game, Josè Ramírez said, “That game against Chicago” and that’s really everything you need to know about how epically awesome GuardsFest is 😂⚾️❤️🐐

Last night, the GuardiacKids had 1️⃣1️⃣ hits, one for each year Tito managed the team. Hit number 1️⃣1️⃣ came off the bat of the player who wears 1️⃣1️⃣ — José Ramírez.
Baseball is beautiful and magical and the sport for dreamers ✨⚾️❤️
I love that the Cleveland Front Office has made it clear that Terry Francona will be the manager of our team for as long as he wants the job. What a refreshing difference from other teams where even a future hall of famer might be fired at any moment. In Tito We Trusted!!
This is why you NEVER LEAVE before the last out. Everyone rooting for CLEVELAND at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario saw a real show today. Hell yeah!

And there are people who don't understand the value of a player like Austin Hedges. This guy brings more to a team than anyone could ever express. We're lucky he wants to be in our clubhouse. I hope he can be a Guardian for a long time.
"We just don't take games off. We're here to play nine innings and we're here to treat each game like it is a playoff game."

Hammy is great every game — but there was something extra in it tonight. He seemed genuinely so in awe of this team and what they’ve accomplished so far this season.
