John Adams patch coming soon to uniforms near you

The Guardians tried to play baseball last night in Oakland but did not play baseball well enough. Shane Bieber pitched well enough to win, and Gabriel Arias burst onto the scene with a Troutesque homer, but bad defense behind the dish and bad command from James Karinchak was too much to overcome.

Elsewhere in Guardosland, it was announced that the team will wear a patch honoring John Adams in two upcoming games this season.

• Sam Hentges continues to make good progress, according to last night’s radio broadcast.
