I see all your Orioles comments. Maybe they'll just have to be next 👀

Teams like this are exactly why I love being a Cleveland fan. Scrappy underdogs that field some of the best in baseball before the rest of the country knows about them. Nothing like watching a game in the Jake too.

Us cleveland fans already consider this season a success. Yeah playoffs are the goal right now, but we were predicted 5th in a division that was supposed to be a feeding ground for the White Sox. Video forgets to mention the HOF manager Francona. I don’t think this season is possible without him. Been a really fun year, and the fact that it’s a rebuilding year and almost all these guys are locked up until 2025, we’re in for some more fun years in cleveland. The idea we’ve been a dumpster team for forever has never been true. Despite the cheap owners this team finds a way to win. Our 2016 run looked a lot like this one and it came out of nowhere.

Tito Francona has to be given credit. They're a team that runs out every ground ball etc

All hail Terry Francona. The manager who has worked more miracles than I count with Cleveland baseball.

As a Twins fan, I want to mention how jealous I am of Cleveland fans. If all else fails for Cleveland, their fans can always feel comfortable that the team can fall back on their uncanny ability to develop pitchers. We in Minnesota do not get that luxury, and I have to respect their team for it.

This team is fun. Love their staff and young lineup. Always good to see Gimenez and Rosario succeed.

crazy how that lindor trade truly was a win win for both teams. i love when that happens!

Great video. The only guy you neglected was James Karinchak, who is an absolute psycho.

As a twins fan the guardians are a very impressively run organization. They are a pitching factory and do a good job in winning trades. They also have two of the top pitching prospects in baseball in Daniel espino and Gavin Williams. This is gonna keep them from being a bad team for a long time and any time they can build a solid offense they are a scary team.

The Cleveland Guardians are honestly definitely underdogs to win the World Series and honestly although it most likely won't happen I'm honestly cheering for them to make it to at least the ALCS or the World Series. They kinda feel like the 2019 Washington Nationals where nobody expected them to go the postseason yet the Nationals did and honestly I hope the Guardians do. Although it's unlikely they'll go to the ALCS let alone the world series and win I'm honestly chanting for them to go all the way and win the World Series this year

I can tell you how they made it this far. Hustle. Every game, every play, every second. They never give up and have great leadership. I have no idea how far this young team will go but they are an inspiration to watch.

I really need a ‘How the Rays won games with Triple A roster’ the success in spite of the injuries I’d amazing. And without Glasnow. I think it would make a good video

This was a very THOROUGH video. Thanks for explaining a lot of stuff to me. Our Guardians are really hustling this year and we are very proud of them.

The Lindor trade was so good for both teams. I will be rooting for the Guardians until they play the Mets and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in the ALCS

Hehehe

Cleveland’s biggest FA signing since 2017 is Cesar Hernandez. Cesar god damn Hernandez. They are an Elite organization with player development. By the way they have 9 top 100 prospects

My opinion may be skewed as Cleveland fan but this to me was a VERY GOOD coverage on them this year. Thank you.

I really appreciated your honest take back when you made this. Checking back in to say Cleveland has won the AL central outright.

Cleveland has the best scouting, ownership and front office in the MLB. As a small market team they keep developing great young talent, make brilliant trades and let go of players they can no longer afford. The result is winning teams.

Awesome video and breakdown of what's made them so good this season. Been a fan of the Indians/Guardians my whole life -- and as crushing as the 2016 World Series was, I still knew they'd be in good hands with the front office that they have. Since you've posted this video, they've also been getting some nice contributions from Will Brennan. The amount of good prospects they have with the young guys they have producing now is insane. I don't expect them to win the World Series by any stretch of the imagination -- but as you mentioned, if they can find a big bat to plug into the lineup in the offseason, 2023 may finally be their year.

Loved the cut of the batter getting hit in the head by a throw by the catcher. Keep up the good work

I really questioned when they DFAed Franmil Reyes, but when you explained their offense, I completely understand it

Dropping in here as a mariners fan. Damn! That Kwon is friggin special! A true game changer. I wish the M's had that guy! I hope we best you guys tomorrow but it's all love either way.

It's refreshing to see a team go back to old school baseball, on offense get good contact at the plate, small ball productive out & not striking out & then on defense solid fundamentals & pitchers pounding the zone

Great scouting, farm teams and Tito Francona are a big part of this success story. The other is this team plays all out most every game, but that get’s back to Tito’s influence.

You didn't mention that Francona was out for part of last year and he is back full strength this year. This man can just get guys to play. You mention stealing, while speed is important the knowing when to go comes with some experience, I would like to give a little credit to 1st base coach and ex catcher Sandy Alomar.

Jose Ramirez is my favorite player I don't know how he doesn't get more credit the dude is awesome

You miss the key component of this team. Chris Antonetti is the mastermind behind this organization. He operates with this philosophy. MLB is not fair. Certain teams are given advantages at the expense of other teams. If Cleveland wants to create a dynasty (not just compete) they have to be smarter than everyone else. This organization harkens back to the dominant teams of the late nineties. The vast majority of trades since then have worked out well for Cleveland. They want trades to work out for their trading partners too -- it facilitates and expands future trade possibilities. Cleveland does not do rebuilds, ever. It has taken nearly 3 decades to build an organization that is able to field a top ten team every year. They are not done. This year is significant the last 2 phases of the dynasty have come into place. A top 5 player left 100 million dollars on the table to play in Cleveland. That is huge! The other piece is to have high quality emerging talent show up every year. Both have happened this year! They will be a top 5 team every year with a bottom 5 payroll. They will be a sought after trading partner. They single handedly will drive down player salaries. They will have their pick of the top talent in baseball and every team and player in the league will willingly help them to get there. It sounds unreal. Remember you heard it here first.

As a Cleveland fan I'm excited to see what we can do these next final months I think we may get 90 to 95 wins and I hope we can show out in the postseason and make a run to that ring us fans have been dieing for

Jimmy K is great for the sport, for a guy that’s a MRP or SU guy he’s made some noise by being himself

Hell yeah Jolly! Been following you for a while and the baseball junkie in me LOVES your vids. Love them even more when you talk about my hometown team. Amazing video.

Diehard Guardians fan here. Back in 2019 when this roster was starting to be torn down, we saw a path with the prospect pool we had to be competing again in 3-4 seasons. However, we thought it was contingent on keeping Lindor and Ramirez. When the Lindor trade happened, a lot of people gave up hope. Although what most didn't see was the roster around him blooming more than it did when it was Lindor and Ramirez were the young guns with a ton of veterans. Lindor was shipped for a godsend in Gimenez, and now Ramirez is the veteran surrounding by a lot of young talent. If we got one extra closer and a catcher at the deadline, I'd say we would've made a run at the World Series. I think this year we're a divisional exit (although with the AL you never know), but for the next few years, I think we'll be scarier than the 2016 and 2017 teams were.

I was at Tristen McKenzie 's last start, and while he got the loss due to a bloop hit, walk, then a bomb in the first; he was pretty damn dominant.

It's funny, as a cleveland fan, after the Lindor trade I had assumed we were in for another long, long rebuild. I yave nothing but respect for Francona and his management

i've been working for the guardians since 2016.. this year has that same magic feeling.

Dude, you are SUPER talented at putting these vids together. Just found your channel the other day randomly, and I’m glad I did. New subscriber fosho.

One of the greatest, joyful surprises of my life as a Cleveland baseball fan. So, so great to have a team that plays the right way. Jose Ramirez is the perfect leader for this very, very talented group. You will see a World Series Championship or more with these guys.

As a Guardians fan I saw them finishing a few games above 500 but not winning the central or making the playoffs. But the pitching has been great as of late and the offence has worked because they are build for contact and will win games on the bases. The season is not over yet and we need to keep winning. What happens in October is what matters though.

Thank you for the video, but there is one more reason why this team is looking good. They have something great to play for, each other. Cleveland as a whole really like who they are playing with. The team was ask who they would want at the trade deadline and they said we like what we got, we want to build on what we have.

As a guardians fan, I am absolutely loving this season. I predicted before the season started that this team would be below .500. It’s absolutely unbelievable seeing these young kids and J Ram grow before our eyes

I'm a Guardians fan and Im suprised at how theyre doing i figured a 3rd place finish

I have loved watching this team! Can't wait to get to a few more games before the playoffs start

Bro, you were spot on....Been a Cleveland fan my whole life and I didn't see this coming.....Don't like the new name like many but we won 2-1 today! Bieber and Jose Ramirez carried the youngest team in the playoffs to victory......Watch out Yanks and Houston, this team is good!!!!!!

i love the fact that andres gimenez and ahmed rosario are an integral part of the team. So far the trade has been a win win for both but as time goes on well see the true value they brought to their respective franchises.

I really like the name change for the organization and overall happy to see them contending for the playoffs. They have a bright future.

This was only a small portion of a fantastic video, but I'd like Mets and Guardians fans to stop arguing over who won the trade. Both teams are doing well and the players involved have been fantastic for both sides. It's like the Stefon Diggs trade netting the Vikings a pick that turned out to be Justin Jefferson, a win-win for both sides. Celebrate the players, enjoy the ride.

Stats, records, all-stars, even the pennant aside, this team is just fun to watch.

This was a very well researched and explained video. As a Guardians fan I really appreciate the effort.

Great video! I’ll be tuning into Cleveland games a little more. Solid product on the field

this is wonderful Jolly

Great vid.. Go Tribe!!!

THE COMEBACK OF KARINCHAK AND TITOS GREAT MANAGEMENT

Really impressed with this vid. This was absolutely amazing and informative. Most ppl like to shit on Cleveland so it was nice to see our young guys getting some love. They deserve it. This has been a blast watching these guys this year. Such a great group of guys and so much chemistry. I hope they can make a run. Go Tribe

Thanks for making this! I'm a Guards fan who follows and just watched the Os video. Two super young, super fun teams that are at a 90+ win pace since May

The Mets and Guardians trade was definitely a win win

The trade of Clevinger and Greg Allen for Quantrill, Naylor, O. Miller, Hedges, #11 Guardians prospect SS Gabriel Arias and #25 and rising pitching prospect Joey Cantillo has been huge too. The farm system in general looks amazing. Watch out for Gavin Williams and George Valera and neither of them are even the #1 prospect. That would be pitcher Daniel Espino who has been lights out, but unfortunately got injured this season.

So much chaos going on in baseball right now. Cleveland, Seattle, Toronto, even Baltimore, the list goes on. I love it.

I live for Jolly Olive uploads

Still eagerly waiting on a video about how Rob Thomson turned the Phillies from floundering failures into legitimate playoff contender, even without 2 months of the NL MVP

McKenzies' 4seamer literally FLOATS. It is a perfect straight line, I love to see it

A lot of talent still to come from the farm system as well. Arias, Valera, B. Naylor, Brennan, Espino

yes i love this team and this video

What these kids have done for Tito is simply amazing. I don't understand the constant disrespect for this Cleveland team. The things they have done as a literally rookie team is unbelievable. I'll always be a fan and hope they can bring home WS before I'm gone. When I was born was the last time. They will always be my GuarIndians

Tito better win manager of the year

Clase is, hands down, the best relief pitcher in the sport. He’s having an absolutely dominant season, with stats no other pitcher is even close to. This is on top last year, his first full season, which statistically would’ve been among the best 3-4 seasons in Mariano Rivera’s career

Cleveland always has arms. They trade their whole pitching staff then a year and a half later they find more guys.

This is very well done. As a tribe fan, I'm beyond happy for this team. I had them penned as a .500 team.

As of this writing the Guardians just finished tying the ALDS vs the Yankees at one game a piece....I don't believe in jinxes, maybe this is a preview of great things to come... let's go Guardians!

“No real science behind why he so good” How about the fastest cutter in MLB history, on top of nice control and movement whit a beautifully pairing slider, that wait for it… might also be the fastest in MLB history

Been a fan of them for my life. Saw the absolute DOMINANCE of Bartolo Colon in 2001, the weird decision to get rid of everyone in 2002-2003, to the absolute snooze fest pitching wise from 04-13, to the rise of the pitching prospects and seeing how dominant our defense has become. Seeing us blow a 3-1 lead to the Cubs, to a 2-0 to the Yankees, to the absolute POWER HOUSE pitching in 2017-19. Bieber winning the Triple Crown, all of it. From the bottom of my heart, if no other team in Cleveland wins anything ever again at the cost of the Guardians winning a WS in my life, I will die a happy fan. As cheap as the owners can be, I commend them for actually targetting some insane batting potential (Naylor, Gimenez, Rosario, etc.) and some stellar defense. I love all the extensions to players that deserve it and the potential we have to go deep in the playoffs. Maybe not this year but next year. This team despite being so young has peaked when we need them to and I see the peak growing. God speed to Jolly Olive for acknowledging the insanely quick rise of the Guardians.

Wild that they also have one of the best farm systems in the game

Baltimore's Birds took ya down a notch..although that's a good team- great starting pitching, great pen and Ramirez who is an artist with the bat. Have a feeling O's and Cleveland will have a lot of run-ins the next few seasons as these rebuilds realize their potential.

I honestly think that next year this team could be World Series Contender

Great vid

As of September 25, 2022, the Cleveland Guardians are 86-67, and are the American League Central Division Champions!!!!!!!!!!

As a guardian fan I wasn’t shocked they always have good pitching what I’m surprised is by how much they won the division

Pretty good complimentary talent and Great manager

Talking about surprise contenders; you can’t go without bringing up the Baltimore Orioles.

Thanks for jinxing us my man

Keep up the great work! What do you think about a 2021 Braves run video?

Brilliant.

I've always been surprised when teams pitched to Gimenez, like he was clutch in go ahead runs all year. He looked dialed in almost all those situation yet they always gave him hits to hit, no pitch arounds or intent walks and they paid dearly for it. Now I do admit in some situations there was no choice but to pitch to him but still he was clutch all year.

Great video! You oughta do one on Lincecum! What happened to him?!?! He literally fell off a cliff after 2011. Almost as if he forgot how to throw!!

At 1:45 catcher throws the ball straight at the batters head 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I want the orioles and mariners to make the wildcard this year wouldn’t be mad if the guardians made it either it’s nice to see the underdogs have some sucess

adley rutschman basically strikes out twice as much as he does that's crazy!! But that goes to show just how good kwans season has been. even though Hes a rookie i can see this young man winning a batting title if not multiple

I need to see what’s in the Umpire’s slacks

That Gonzalez guy turned out to be really good

92 and 70. Looking forward to the playoff games. Go Guardians.

If Cleveland wins the ws i will jump onto a foldable table

I'm ready for their underdog story it would be amazing if they take it. I just can't unsee Thor and the Guardians of the galaxy from there new uniforms...

Clase is class!

Let's go Tribe!

Cleveland has a great manager, a decent front office, and a tight budget. They do the best they can with all of that and have overachieved for a decade now. To his credit, Tito hasn't left for greener pastures. I'm still salty about the 2016 WS too.

The Indians looking great! Never thought they would be winning a division, let alone, making playoffs with youngest team in MLB, #LetsGoIndians Let's make another splash, Indians win world series 2022!

Need a stud centerfielder and they would be a serious contender

I severely underestimated the young talent on this team.

Great video don’t forget about James karinchek

That beaver team with Kwan, Rutschman, Madrigal, Abel and more really was fucking nutty
