Every batted ball Cleveland had in Game 1. Guardsball might cause problems for the other team, but at a certain point you've got to hit the ball out of the infield, too.
The Indians only had 4 balls hit out of the infield.

Cleveland fans mindset has got to be the opposite of an average tiger's find mindset at this point.

They all just sit around waiting for lucky miracles to happen, and for the last 6 weeks they have.

I couldnt be the only one who lost his shit when Baez threw Jose Ramirez's infield hit away.

But willly vest picked him up.

F u cleveland.

I didn’t lose my shit on that play I thought I was a very good stop by baez and almost a great pick by tork, rather I just went into here we go again defeated mode. Thought for sure Cleveland would at least tie it up if not walk it off and had the TV remote in hand ready to hit the power off button the very moment it happened so I wouldn’t have to catch any of Cleveland’s celebration.

But boy did vest come through! Wow hellva job handling that come backer!
