Patrick Mahomes takes jab at Travis Kelce after Guardians’ ALCS win

Check out this Twitter exchange between #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce after the #Guardians’ ALCS victory on Thursday night.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not shy about his love for the Royals, and as a minority owner of the beloved baseball franchise, he is always quick to bring his fandom up on social media.

Though the Royals’ season was cut short by the New York Yankees in the ALDS, Mahomes didn’t waver in his support for the Boys in Blue when Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made a post on Twitter about the Cleveland Guardians’ latest win.

Cleveland mounted a comeback against the Yankees on Thursday night to extend the ALCS, which got Kelce pumped up ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 7 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Mahomes made sure to chirp at the All-Pro pass-catcher, quote-tweeting Kelce in this hilarious exchange:

Expect Mahomes and Kelce to have this online dispute resolved in time for Kansas City’s Super Bowl LVIII rematch at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco this weekend.

Travis Kelce defended his Guardians fandom after bizarre criticism of his ALCS Game 1 attire

Travis Kelce is a Guardians fan. Why does anybody think he’s not?

The Cleveland Guardians won Game 3 of the 2024 ALCS on Thursday night, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was very hyped for it.

Kelce is a Guardians fan, attending Game 1 of the series against the New York Yankees with Taylor Swift. However, he didn’t wear any of his favorite team’s gear at the game.

For some bizarre reason, that apparently triggered criticism that Kelce wasn’t a real fan of the team. We’re not sure how anybody could come to that conclusion since Kelce grew up in Ohio, but that’s the internet for you.

After celebrating the team’s Game 3 victory, Kelce took to Twitter (X) to defend his status as a Cleveland fan despite the wardrobe choice.

Why anyone needs to exert their energy into Kelce’s game day attire is truly beyond us. However, the Guardians sure sound like they’re ready for him to attend Game 4.

The Guardians’ radio call of David Fry’s Game 3 walk-off home run was so electric

“THERE SHE GOES!”

The Cleveland Guardians won an all-time classic playoff game on Thursday thanks to some clutch home runs to walk off Game 3 of the ALCS.

After Jhonkensy Noel tied things up for the Guardians in the ninth inning with a two-run home run against the New York Yankees, David Fry finished things up in extras with a walk off blast of his own. The Guardians now are down 2-1 in the series to the Yankees instead of facing elimination like they could have should they had lost.

It was an absolutely incredible moment, one that has given the Guardians new life in this series headed into Game 4 on Friday, and Cleveland’s radio play-by-play announcer Tom Hamilton put his all into the final call of the night.

Talk about electric!

Jhonkensy Noel had the coldest bat flip after his ninth-inning, game-tying home run in Game 3

BIG CHRISTMAS!

Jhonkensy Noel knew instantly that his game-tying ninth-inning home run was a massive one and he celebrated accordingly with an absolutely cold bat flip.

On Thursday, with the Cleveland Guardians down 5-3 in Game 3 of the ALCS to the New York Yankees, the home team was down to its final out of the game. Already down 2-0 in the series, the Guardians needed a jolt to get them back in Game 3 or risk being one game away from elimination. And in the clutch, Big Christmas delivered the best present of all with a massive two-run home run to tie the game.

It was a monster blast, made all the better by Noel’s instant reaction to throw his bat aside so emphatically for an insanely cold bat flip.

Sheesh!

And you can absolutely make the case Noel’s home run saved the Guardians’ season, as in extra innings, David Fry walked it off with a two-run home run of his own to cut the Yankees’ series lead to 2-1.

What an awesome night in Cleveland!

Did Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase really walk out to Wild Thing? Here’s his actual walkout song

It really would be such a cool entrance.

Down 2-0 in their American League Championship Series with the Yankees, the Guardians have their work cut out for them if they hope to rally back in the series. But with potentially three games in Cleveland, Progressive Field is absolutely going to be rocking.

And if the Guardians have their way, superstar closer Emmanuel Clase will have an opportunity to take the field in front of a home crowd … walkout entrance and all. But fans shouldn’t expect a tribute to the movie Major League and Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn in real life.

Back in Game 5 of the Guardians’ ALDS win against the Tigers, TBS built up Clase’s entrance with some absolutely cinematic camera work. The broadcast showed his slow walk down from the bullpen, to the gate and onto the field — all while X’s “Wild Thing” played in the background – perfectly timed with his walk. It seemed electric, and viewers were actually disappointed that TBS cut to commercial. There’s just one thing about that …

That wasn’t what people in the stadium actually heard.

The “Wild Thing” audio was a production decision from the TBS crew rather than something the stadium played. Clase instead stuck with his regular walkout music, which is a mashup of Lil Wayne’s “Fireman” leading into “Di Di Di” by Braulio Fogón.

What we saw (and heard) in the Game 5 broadcast was just some TV magic.

Aaron Judge finally hit his first Yankees home run of the 2024 MLB postseason

He finally did it!!!

After going cold in the 2024 MLB postseason so far, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge finally hit an October home run.

In Game 2 of the ALCS on Tuesday night in New York, Judge homered off a pitch from Cleveland Guardians pitcher Hunter Gaddis to widen the Yankees’ 4-2 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning.

There was a New York runner on base during Judge’s hit, making this a major double for the Yankees.

After such a long wait (considering the talent at hand), MLB fans finally got to see Judge knock one out of the baseball diamond in the 2024 playoffs.
