You all know those baseball games where it just feels like things could go haywire at any moment? Well, Thursday’s clash between the Cleveland Guardians and Toronto Blue Jays had that same energy from the start. And well, things definitely got spicy. It all started in the third inning. Toronto was up 3-0, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the face of the franchise, stepped in.

Right then, bam—a 96 mph fastball from Tanner Bibee hit him right on the forearm. Vladimir Jr. instantly grabbed his arm and shot a death stare toward the mound. But here’s the thing—this was not the first time there was this much heat in the moment.

This was actually the second game in a row in which the Guardians had hit him. The previous day, he was hit in the hip by none other than Bibee. Hence, the intense stare. Fans watching on television and in the stadium could feel the tension immediately. But in a high-stakes game like this, if you think that was it, you are wrong.

Right at the bottom of the fourth inning, José Ramírez came to bat for the Guardians. On the first pitch from Kevin Gausman, he was drilled in the same way Guerrero Jr. was—right on the forearm. Tit for tat, indeed! The umpire didn’t hesitate, and both teams got a warning just in case things escalated. But Ramirez, being the absolute gamer, stayed in and also stole second base.

However, by the time the Guardians came up for the fifth, even he was done. The Guardians’ manager ensured that Blue Jays skipper John Schneider knew how unhappy they were. But this was a seemingly revenge move by the Jays. The good news is that both Guerrero Jr. and Ramirez have had their X-rays done, and the reports show no fractures. The only issues are bruised arms and some bruised egos.

But these two teams are not done, and when they meet again, you might have to circle the date for some intense showdown. While the two players are doing okay, the Guardians have another mess to clean up. This time, not from the tempers flaring but from the errors piling up at third base.

Nightmare inning for Guardians rookie

Kyle Manzardo had an inning to forget! In the game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the rookie first baseman made not one, not even two errors. He made three errors in a single inning, and that’s a stat line no one wants to be a part of. And it all started unraveling in the third inning. Jonatan Chase started it with a clean single off Bibee.

Then Tyler Heineman got plunked, and with Myles Straw dropping a sac bunt, Manzardo charged in but missed. That was error number one, and the bases were loaded. After Bibbe struck out Bo Bichette to get a breather, Nathan Lukes knocked a two-run single to right field. Straw moved to third base, and then came the wild spiral. Bibbe attempted a pickoff to first, but Manzardo couldn’t handle it, resulting in error number two. Straw scored to stop the bleeding, and Manzardo chased the ball and threw it home. However, his throw just wasn’t off—it sailed past Bo Naylor, who didn’t see it. That was error number three!

The inning ended, but the damage…serious damage was already done. Three errors in one frame is a rare feat, no doubt. The last Cleveland player to do it was Andy Marte against Boston in 2010. MLB-wide, it has also happened quite rarely, with just Manny Machado, who did the same, added to the list earlier this year. It’s been a tough day at the office for Manzardo, and he hopes he can think of it as a rookie’s pain and hopes he never sees the replay again.
