Betrayal produces feelings of anger. And I feel betrayed.
I had assumed that the Guardians would not play Gabriel Arias in centerfield unless they were sure he was capable of playing the position. Last night, it became clear that my trust in the Guardians was misplaced and that makes me feel betrayed. Arias has the athleticism to pursue fly balls in centerfield but he does not currently have the experience and training to effectively catch those balls at a major league level.
The Guardians’ 8-2 loss to the Astros wasn’t all bad. Jose Ramirez put up better at-bats and took a walk.
