JustinCharge 2,397 Posted October 16, 2022 as i said before, the guardians are not the most talented team, but they are basically completely healthy. and that matters a LOT. everyone is in their assigned roles. the yankees have injuries which forces them to put players in uncomfortable spots. i think the guardians made a huge mistake not trading for some veterans at the deadline because you might go 25 years and never be this healthy. the window for them is now. they might have more takent 2 years from now, but they will probably have 2-3 key injured players too.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted October 17, 2022 Since 1995, the Indians / Guardians have won 8 playoff series. Only one of them was won at home: the 1997 ALDS vs the Yankees. The other 7 were all won on the road. Game 5 Guardians vs Yankees today is on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted October 17, 2022 since 1995, the Indians / Guardians most frequent playoff opponent is the Yankees. They have met 6x (1997, 1998, 2007, 2017, 2020, 2022). the yankees lead this series 3-2. The next most frequent opponent are the Red Sox (5x) since 1995, the Yankees most frequent playoff opponent is .... the Indians / Guardians. But that is tied with the Twins, also 6x (03,04,09,10,17,19) The Yankees lead that series 5-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
