Stupid rule rattles Zach Plesac, umpires help Guardians lose

I can’t possibly list all the ways that last night’s game was infuriating, so I will link to Blake’s recap. Did he do a good job of it? I have no idea. Nobody reads the articles.

Austin Hedges attempted to do so, and mostly succeeded, although his fury led to some weird word combinations.

Cleveland Guardians news

• FanGraphs has updated the planet on Steven Kwan’s great season.
• The Dodgers have more home losses to the Guardians than they do to the NL West.

Around the league

• Carlos Carrasco (the ultimate LGFT) is going to miss up to a month with a strained oblique :(.
• Rodolfo Castro of the Pirates, whose cell phone made an appearance at third base a few days ago, was suspended one game for his deed.
• Drew Rasmussen is going to start befuddling Cardinals and Blue Jays too, before moving on to Other Things, if his success against Orioles is any indication.
• Franmil Reyes: Stud.
• The Mets called up Brett Baty.
• Theeeee New York Yankees lost once again, 3-1 to Tampa. The loss column keeps hearing HERE COME THE YANKEES and doesn’t mind one bit.
