The Cleveland Guardians were pretty solid to start the season. However, they have been slumping lately and have fallen to just .500 on the season. They are also now five games behind the Minnesota Twins for first place in the American League Central. They were winnning the division just a short time ago.
The Guardians are a decent team this year. They are in the middle of the pack in offensive and defensive team stats. They also have superstars such as Jose Ramirez on the squad. So far this season, Ramirez is batting .289 with a .952 OPS. He is also leading the American League in doubles and RBIs, with 27 and 63 respectively.
However, the rest of the team has been ice cold recently. For example, center fielder Myles Straw is hitting just .194 this season and has been a liability at the plate. Franmil Reyes has been underperforming as well, batting just .211 through 49 games played. The Cleveland Guardians are 3-7 in their past 10 games.

During the four games, Cleveland did not look competitive at all. They appeared to be playing on their heels and looked disinterested in the games in general. If they keep that attitude up, they will have no shot at the playoffs come this fall.
No fan enjoys seeing their team lose, so it makes sense that Guardians fans were enraged over this devastating loss. Here is what Cleveland fans had to say about the Guardians being swept by the Tigers.
