Summary
Cleveland’s young lineup is getting schooled by the new baseball trend: the opener. Teams are deploying relief pitchers to start games, then rotating in fresh arms, and Cleveland’s struggling to keep up—losing three straight to openers in the past month. With hitters still learning to adjust to traditional starters, the constant pitching changes are throwing them off, especially when opponents like the Rangers bring in guys like Chris Paddack, who’s got a 2.92 ERA against them. The Guardians’ young roster, built for the future, is now paying the price—stranded runners, missed opportunities, and a glaring weakness opponents are exploiting like a business plan.
