Before Quincy Wheeler gave me my big break as a contributor here at Covering the Corner, I was just another guy making fan posts. My very first fan post was a takedown of ESPN’s sou2011called “Watchability Index.” And while we’ve certainly had stretches of toughu2011tou2011watch Guardians baseball, we now find ourselves in the final weeks of the season staring at a schedule full of highu2011drama, can’tu2011miss games.
ESPN claimed that the Guardians were unwatchable. But now the Guards are proving what I was arguing all along — baseball’s best teams aren’t the most “watchable” — because the most compelling baseball isn’t a blowout by a powerhouse; it’s when the outcome is still unknown.
