Vogt is giving Jones the opportunity to face left and right hand pitching, it's time to do the same with Manzardo. One of the few power bats the Guards have should not be platooning.

Yeah. All over but the shout'n. Tigers are in. 41/2 games back in the wild card chase. Wild card slowly slipping away. Glad Vogt is giving Jones a chance to bat against left handed pitching. Been holding his own. Give him RF 2nd half of the season. He's my pick to click the 2nd half. Hopefully, Vogt...

The schedule offers little relief. After Monday’s off day, the Guardians go to Chicago to play the NL Central-leading Cubs in a three-game series. The Cubs are 25-15 at Wrigley Field, while the Guards are 20-22 on the road. Then it’s back to Progressive Field for a brief three-game series with the A...

11.5 & 2.5 Number of games behind in the division; Number of games behind in the wild card chase. We lost 2 games each in the division & in the wild chase during this weekend's debacle. This is getting serious. Hate to say it, but another run like this past week, we miss out on the playoff ...

Thanks, Joe - I've put a nightly restart in place to hopefully preclude extended outages from occurring moving forward.,

Stats don't lie. It's apparent that the Guardians may not be using Jones properly. No question Jones is an excellent defender. I think the time is right to see if Jones can win the rightfield outright. I just hope we're not making a mistake by not giving Jones a full time opportunity. Plenty of time...

From gametime, Nolan Jones has demonstrated the ability to hit left-handed pitching, but he is often part of a platoon, meaning he is frequently held out of the lineup against left-handed starters. While he has had success against lefties in the past, including a strong rookie season, his performanc...

This would be a good time to give Jones a shot at a full time rightfield job. Guardians aren't going anywhere in the division. Jones has a nice record hitting left hand pitching. Certainly better than the right hand hi/ing batters we've been marching out there
