## Resource

The Guardians are in freefall after a brutal sweep by the Yankees — without Aaron Judge — exposing a deadly offensive slump and shaky defense. In seven games, they’ve scored fewer than three runs per game and hit just .129 with runners in scoring position. Their trademark “Guards Ball” defense is crumbling, and with no superstar to bail them out, every player’s failure compounds the collapse. Even puzzling lineup decisions — like leaving out a key hitter against a lefty — add to the growing frustration. This isn’t just a rough patch — it’s a full-blown identity crisis for a team built on collective effort. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
