Why would I spend my time doing practical stuff when I could spend my time analyzing the smiles of my beloved Cleveland Guardians and why I think they're the most perfect smiles in the universe?
Here's what we got.
Steven Kwan: open-mouthed, shock and awe, "I can't believe we just did that!!" smile
José Ramírez: if smiles could speak, his says "I care about you" or "I'm proud of you". Wholesome af
Josh Naylor: just the most excited smile ever. So big, so warm, and so genuine
Andrés Giménez: purely happy, sweet puppydog type smile
Gabriel Arias: he has such a huge mouth it genuinely fills his face when he smiles. Complete joy. Also he has such nice teeth
Will Brennan: a smile of childlike wonderment and playfulness. Adorable
Myles Straw: this man is a BLUSHER. He tries to play it cool when he wants to smile but always breaks into this pink-faced grin
Bo Naylor: everything about his facial structure is literal perfection, so of course OF COURSE his smile is gorgeous
#long post#i know this isnt everyone on the team! dont worry everyone else i will get to you#this is just the main position players#but ill probably make another post with more of them#precious happy boys!#they have all smiled their way into my heart#baseball stuff#baseball#cleveland guardians#mlb#major league baseball#steven kwan#jose ramirez#josh naylor#andres gimenez#gabriel arias#will brennan#myles straw#bo naylor#guardians#cleveland

-Sam, stop making random au's you're never going to write challenge impossible-
[Pictured in the first image are several doodles of Silas the mandalorian, Myles the Mandalorian and Jango Fett. Silas is depicted sitting down and leaning against a half wall in thought while Myles leans over it, beside him. Silas is also depicted with a side profile in one doodle, lifting Jango up by the waist with Jango cupping his face in a kiss in another, Jango leaning on his shoulder asleep in one while Silas watches fondly, and Silas kissing Myles while holding hands in another. Myles is depicted with a side profile in one image, and affectionately holding his arm around Jango's collarbone in another. The second image is a larger version of the first doodle of Silas and Myles, with the caption of Silas and Myles speaking.
Silas: I can't believe I'm going to sleep with him.
Myles: You don't have to.
Silas: No, I'm gonna.]
I cannot stop making silly Au's, I just can't and it's a problem at this point? Also just because I don't continue posting about au's I've made doesn't mean I forgot I still very much obsess over them I just forget that posting is a thing until I make a new one. Might make a master list post of all my silly Au's tbh that way people can see them all and maybe ask questions and maybe I can doodle more and-
Anywayyy! Here's another happy ending starwars au but this time in the form of Jaster Lives!! (Even though Jaster isn't pictured. But he's alive guys-)
I can only be normal about Jango Fett for so long guys. And for the past...months and I do mean MONTHS him, Silas and Myles have plagued me??? They won't let me leave.
These three just make me so ill oh my god you don't understand. There's barely anything in cannon (actually I don't even think it's cannon anymore but I also stopped carrying about cannon so) but I love them. There's so much that there could be! "I'll follow Jango and no one else" like I'm sorry? That level of devotion??? Also Jango actively loosing it when Myles dies ??? As a final straw? Silas dying words begging Dooku not to tell Jango if his betrayal? It's all awful and I love it so much it hurts so good?
Too bad this is a happy ending au so they're all FINE. The designs depicted are actually much more concepts of an au, than they are an actual au? Like there are several au's of mine that branch off of Jaster living and these designs specifically. So take that as you will. I do want to make a more in depth post going over their designs but for now here we are. (Also Silas is supposed to have a burn mark on his upper arm and in just forgot smh)
You may also notice this is sorta Silas centric and you'd be correct because THERE'S ZERO FANART OF HIM??? LIKE AT ALL??? okay maybe there is but I haven't found it and that's upsetting cause I love him. And yes I did give him long hair. It was supposed to be just a smidge longer than his original length but actually the more I drew it the longer it got and I'm okay with it.
Anyway I have been...rambling for way too long about these three of you read through all of that I- thank you? It's not out of my system though so like...if you want more...
Oh I forgot that they're all very gay for each other btw. If that wasn't obvious? They all kiss. They're all three boyfriends.
I love any and all the pictures of their relationships with one another tbh! Whether they're all platonic, one's third wheeling, queer platonic, brotherly love, etc. I just want them to all be happy together okay?
#jango fett#star wars#jango fett open seasons#star wars legends#silas the mandalorian#myles the mandalorian#silas the mandalorian/jango fett/myles the mandalorian#star wars fanart#i just want more content of them together is that too much to ask#all the fanfic with them is centered around Obi-wan or the and i love Obi but i want these three to have their spotlight moment#they deserve a nice fic with just the three of them ya know?

The Cleveland Baseball Team 08-23-2024
Four words to describe the state of the team at present:
Dead. In. The. Water.
For a team that has wildly overachieved this year, the last 8 weeks of baseball have been hard to watch for Cleveland fans. The team is still the second best (as of this morning) by Win-Loss record in the American League. And given that the starting pitching has mostly been an unmitigated disaster since the beginning of the campaign, it's bonified miracle that the team is 19 games above .500 even with their struggles within the division.
On the surface the numbers for August and July are not Chicago White Sox terrible but they are very troubling. In July the team was 13 wins and 12 losses (7-5 after the All-Star break). They scored 2 or less runs in 12 of the 25 games (they were shut out 6 times). The molasses effect has carried over into August. The team has 8 wins and 12 losses - going 6 and 12 over the last 18 after winning two games to start the month. Again spotlighting the so-called offense, the former Tribe team has scored 2 or less runs 7 times (that includes a pair of 2-1 victories in there) and added two more shutouts to the pile.
I'm not sure if other teams have picked up on the swing early mentality of the team but it seems like opposing pitchers are getting some early count freebie outs and in turn are having an easier time getting deep into games. As of late they have been able to work back into counts and draw some walks but when it comes to putting the ball in play and generating a legit hit, the team's batting average is resembling Austin Hedges sub-Mendoza batting line.
Stephen Vogt should get a pass as this is his first year in the rumble seat. Truth be told he has done a pretty decent job piecing things together and leveraging Jose Ramirez and the overworked but highly effective bullpen. I do not always agree with the merry-go-round change in lineups from day-to-day but overall the results have yielded wins.
I do think the front office should be called onto the carpet a bit here. Before the trade deadline it became pretty obvious what the team was lacking: starting pitching, any offensive production in centerfield, a shortstop who can consistently put up quality AB's and a rocking chair for Austin Hedges in the clubhouse. As usual the team was crying poor when it came to acquiring starting pitching - but then look at some of the puzzling deals made at the deadline to acquire reasonable number 3 starting pitchers (Flaherty, Fedde, etc.) at minimal cost. The team did ink Boyd and early returns are promising. But then the Alex Cobb deal was a complete head-scratcher. This team dogged Aaron Civale for always being injured and flipped him (yes, I'm glad they got Manzardo) but then why get a retread of a retread in Cobb who had been out with multiple different injuries all year? Two starts into his Cleveland tenure, shocker, Cobb comes up lame. It hurts my brain.
Now we come to Myles Straw 2.0 aka Lane Thomas. Down in the minor leagues the team has their centerfielder of years past languishing and batting around .250 that they are paying around $5 million. A huge sum for most non-injury rehabbing former major leaguers. Myles Straw has fallen out of favor with the powers that be over the last 18 months or so. So why would you bring in a guy who basically is his clone? Speedy, plays good defense, .240-.260 hitter, steals bases, right-handed bat, strikes out too much for a fast guy...can you figure out which one I'm talking about here? Straw or Thomas?They are basically the same player. The only difference is Thomas has a propensity to hit a few more long balls. Not recently but it is on his baseball card stats. Since being acquired, Lane Thomas has 60 at-bats and 7 hits (3 doubles and 4 singles). He has 1 RBI to go with 6 walks and 28 strikeouts. In his lone attempt to steal he was successful. He is batting .117 - that's pretty nasty. When you go to the big picture here and see that the club overpaid with three (3) prospects to acquire a duplicate of something they already have in-house, it makes no sense.
That's all the notable transactions to mention for the pennant race reinforcements. The team did some other dumpster diving moves when the Giants jettisoned a starting pitcher who was entirely ineffective and immediately plugged him into their rotation for a hot minute. Low and behold that move did not bear fruit. Injuries and slumps are part of the game. Each time rides the waves of each. Some are able to navigate these better than others. However, it looks like Cleveland is about to encounter Niagara Falls...
I mentioned the starting rotation has been a source for concern from the get-go. As we get ready to step to the threshold of the last month of the season, whom is going to start for this club in September? Lively and Bibee have done a solid job getting to this point but both are edging beyond their recent benchmarks in innings workloads. Gavin Williams looks back to his old self one minute and then off the map the next. Boyd's comeback story is a feel-good one but he's bound to have some bumps in the road over the next five weeks. So that leaves the tangled mess of Cantillo, Carrasco, Allen, Cobb and McKenzie to try to scoot this team to the finish line. This group has been riddled with injuries and inconsistency. If this team does weather the storm and secure the division and/or a wild card spot, who do you trust to pitch in the postseason besides the back-end of the bullpen? Of the obvious choices, will they be out-of-gas or simply beyond their innings limits and therefore off-limits?
I've been a Cleveland baseball fan since the summer of 1992. Some of you may be asking if I'm a fan of the team or just being a troll. I'm a fan through and through. I still contend that if Trevor Bauer hadn't been a dumbass the club would've captured the 2016 Fall Classic. But that is 8 years in the rearview mirror. In the here and now, this offense if offensive. I think the front office missed an opportunity to trade Andres Gimenez at the trade deadline. Yes I said it. He is such a one-dimensional (defensive) player. Yes, once a week he'll do something with the bat but his trade value as a platinum glove winner will probably never be higher. With so many middle infielders MLB-ready or near ready, it's probably time to move on from him. There's a reason he didn't displace Rosario as everyday shortstop. He had one solid MLB stint as an offensive player and it earned him a nice payday. With the team always looking to walk back the salary figures, it makes a lot of sense. Josh Naylor these days is looking like Josh Bell did for Cleveland. He's got a ton of passion and hustle but is he really a cornerstone piece? his long stretches of hot and cold streaks suggest the answer is no.
Besides the ill-fated 2016 season, I wonder if this team will become cohesive enough to win a World Series title in my lifetime. Jose Ramirez is one player - an MVP-caliber player - but teams are starting to bypass him or make him expand the zone to get production with so little help around him. Hitting at the Major League level is one of the most difficult things to do. That is why players earn the big bucks and why so many of them fail 75% of the time. There is no magic formula to win a baseball game and that's why they play the games. But here lately, it seems like this team is either mailing it in or getting exposed as AAAA player talent. The first half of the season showed that they can win but the second half of the season always shows which teams are hardened enough to win when it counts.
It's always easy to point out the problems and not offer any solutions. With that in mind, here are my solution suggestions:
- DFA Hedges ($4M signing? Really?!).
- Stop bringing up/recalling Gose.
- Start Bo Naylor every day (let him figure it out).
- Give Kwan a IL stay (he looks tired and sluggish)
- Freeman and Schneemann need to go to AAA (they look tired and unsure).
- Sign Bieber to a 2-year deal for 2025-2026 (reduced contract & could have big upside).
- Bring up Manzardo to play first base.
- Bring up Straw for phantom IL stint Lane Thomas needs.
- Bring up Arias to be utility/bench player.
- Bring in Trevor Bauer (yes I said it. Rob Manfred screwed over Bauer as a personal vendetta and also screwed over the Cleveland franchise by forcing them to rebrand. Bauer knows how to pitch and attack hitters. It could help someone like Cantillo or McKenzie or Williams on those days where they don't have their best stuff but need to battle and 'think' through attacking hitters.)
These are my personal observations and suggestions. Will any of them occur? Who knows? Have a great weekend and let's hope for some better baseball soon…

Cleveland Indians-Minnesota Twins Series Preview
4.4.24-Tanner Bibee RHP (0-0) 6.75 ERA Vs. Pablo Lopez RHP (1-0) 1.29 ERA
4.6.24-Carlos Carrasco RHP (0-0) 5.40 ERA Vs. Joe Ryan RHP (0-0) 1.69 ERA
4.7.24-Triston McKenzie RHP (0-1) 10.80 ERA Vs. Bailey Ober RHP (0-1) 54.00 ERA
The Indians At A Glance- The Indians are starting the season on a lengthy road trip. They took three of four from the A's in Oakland to start the year then two of three from the Mariners in Seattle. The Tribe now head to Minnesota to play the Twins. The Indians didn't do too much in the offseason. They signed Austin Hedges and Ben Lively and traded for Scott Barlow. Myles Straw was sent to Columbus to start the season. Steven Kwan is off to a hot start with a .353 average in seven games. Andres Gimenez it hitting .346 with six RBI's. The Cleveland offense is averaging 6.5 runs per game in the early season. The Twins will miss Shane Bieber in this series. He has thrown twelve shutout innings to start the year. Cade Smith has struck out nine over 4 1/3 out of the bullpen. The bullpen should be pretty good for the Indians. You have Emmanuel Clase closing, Scott Barlow at the back-end along with Nick Sandlin. Tyler Beede has four shutout innings so far.
The Twins At A Glance- The Twins went (3-2) to start the year and return home for a six-game homestand. They will open up Target Field for the fifteen season. Alex Kirilloff had quite the series in Milawukee. He went 5-for-8 with a double and a triple. Ryan Jeffers broke out of a slump with a three-run homer on Wednesday. The offense was getting men on base, but haven't been able to knock them in. Byron Buxton is hitting .316 with four RBI's over five games. The Twins have scored just eighteen runs over the first five games. The pitching has been pretty good in the early going. The team has a 3.77 ERA. The first trip through the rotation was decent with the exception of Bailey Ober on Sunday. Pablo Lopez gets to start the home opener, which should be a fun experience for him. Griffin Jax, Brock Stewart, and Jay Jackson have each thrown three shutout innings. The Twins extended the lead to four in the ninth, so we didn't get to see what move Rocco Baldelli was going to make since he had already used Brock Stewart and Griffin Jax.
What To Watch For- The Indians went (7-6) against the Twins in 2023. Cleveland went (4-3) in the seven games played at Target Field last year. Tanner Bibee has a 4.20 ERA in three starts against the Twins. Pablo Lopez is (2-1) with a 3.38 ERA in four starts against the Indians. Carlos Carrasco is (7-11) with a 4.12 ERA in 27 career starts versus the Twins. Joe Ryan is (3-3) with a 2.05 ERA in eight starts against Cleveland. Triston McKenzie is (2-5) with a 5.14 ERA in ten starts against Minnesota. Carlos Correa has two career homers off Mckenzie. Bailey Ober is (1-1) with a 1.29 ERA in five starts against the Tribe. It should be a fun vibe at Target Field after last year's playoff run.
-Chris Kreibich-
