dont they play indoors??
No, these games are in Cleveland.

Kinda weird huh, we end the season with 9 games at home. That's clutch. For a second there I was thinking we travel then play the Royals for 6 at home. Hopefully fans turn up and get in gear for an October to remember.Sorry my mistake. Rays games with Guardians are indeed in Cleveland.
At the start of the season everybody, including me, said, this roster stinks. No way they make the playoffs.
Now I'm hearing, OK, they'll make the postseason, but they will get smoked in the playoffs.
Not so fast,,,,
Let's compare the 2022 G's with the 2016 AL Champs.
Not their whole career. But compare the player in the fall of 2016 to the players in the fall of 2022.
LF Brandon Guyer < Steven Kwan
CF Rajai Davis = Myles Straw (being generous to Rajai)
RF Lonnie Chisenhall < Oscar Gonzales
3B Jose Ramirez = Jose Ramirez's
SS Frankie Lindor > Amed Rosario
2B Jason Kipnis < Andres Gimenez
1B Mike Napoli < Josh Naylor
C Gomes/Perez = Hedges/ Maile
DH Carlos Santana > Owen Miller/Brennan
Pitching I see as a wash. Both had strong bullpens.
Do you think I'm being fair? I think the 22 G's would smoke the 16 Tribe.
I keep hearing people say this about our team.Not to rain on your parade or anything. And the silver lining might be that the 2022 team is made to manufacture runs more consistently,
Actually there are still 2 players left from the 16 team. The 22 JRam is better now, the 22 Shaw is worse.If you had the ‘16 vs ‘22 Indians play each other in a 7 game series you’d have one pretty serious problem.
We’re not 100% sure what happens with time travel, especially if one person is coaching both teams, which Tito is/was.
It’s entirely possible that he would spaghettify or implode, leaving us without a manager.
Is that worth it for the novelty of this imaginary series? Personally, my vote is no. I suggest we stop entertaining it for another minute. The man has been through enough.

Francona is so good he’s almost taken for granted.
Truly one of the greatest managers in history imo.
Winning a WS before he calls it quits would be just a perfect end.
