The season isn’t over, and the Guardians are trying to make things interesting — bless their hearts — with offensive explosions in the Bronx over the weekend. But even those games, fun as they were, won’t stop this season winding down. Even after demolishing Gerritt Cole and the Yankees, Cleveland’s elimination number is down to four. Thus, my mind (perhaps like yours) has drifted away from the box scores. While there are certainly some interesting questions lingering for the Guardians — Who will be the first baseman? Who catches? Outfield?!? — other issues feel more pressing.
Like books.
