News and Notes - Be a Goldfish
The New York Yankees take a 3-1 lead on the series.
What do you do? What do you do when you’re getting timely hitting, but a few runs shy of victory? What do you do when a crucial, wrong call means Steven Kwan doesn’t get a coveted AB in the 9th with runners on? What do you do when the pieces that secured your spot in the playoffs are a big reason you’re facing elimination? You listen to the sage wisdom of Ted Lasso.
Be a goldfish.
Forget it and move on to the next game. As much as this team has been playing one game at a time, they need to do so now more than ever. Go out, have fun, and play baseball. None of the fixes are working. There’s no calvary coming. What else can you do except ride it out and try to have fun with it. Maybe win the next 3 and shock the world.
It wouldn’t be the first time a Cleveland team rebounded from a 3-1 deficit in the playoffs.

Emmanuel Clase just spoke postgame. Said his issues have been a combination of Yankees hitting good pitches and him missing a few spots.

Overall, seems to have a reasonably positive demeanor, considering how tough the last 2 nights have been.#Postseason | #GuardsBall pic.twitter.com/J2PvkQJ3Qd

While it won’t affect the Cleveland Guardians, Bally Sports will rebrand as FanDuel Sports.
