Guardians Drop Series To Royals

This was a very disapponting loss. The score was 2-2, I went to take my dogs out real quick, came back and it was 2-6. Holderman was so great for us the first few months of the season, and has been an absolute mess as of late. I guess that's just how most relievers go.

The lineup was mostly lifeless today outside of an early 2 run HR from Angel Martinez. It's becoming harder and harder to justify leaving Ralphy Velazquez in AAA, he is clearly one of the 9 best hitters in the organization. This team needs a spark badly. They really could not afford to lose this series, hopefully they can salvage the sweep tomorrow.

The good news is the we have ace Parker Messick on the mound tomorrow against Seth Lugo, who has a 4.61 ERA this season. I don't want to say this game on August 30th is must win, but it is pretty darn close to being a must win game.
