It appears that the well-thought-out strategies devised by Chris Antonetti, the President of the Cleveland Guardians, and his team, were indeed on point for achieving success in the 2023 MLB playoffs. However, their efforts fell short. They had put together a formidable starting lineup, capable of stifling any opposing offense. Regrettably, injuries plagued their pitching staff, and their attempts to bolster their offensive capabilities backfired, ultimately derailing the Guardians' season. What was once an exciting playoff-contending team from the previous year now found itself with a disappointing record of 76-86.
