Game 2 of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees has been postponed. The new start time will be 1:07 P.M. Friday afternoon.

This is due to there being an off day between the first two games of the series for some bizarre reason. Now should the series last the full five games it will complicate things. Both teams must travel to Cleveland after Game 2 to play games 3 and 4 at Progressive Field. If a fifth game is needed they must travel back to New York for a Monday contest. That’s right. Four games in four days in two different cities.

The Columbus Blue Jackets made two moves which impacted the roster of the Cleveland Monsters.

Jet Greaves is back with the Cleveland Monsters just one day after being called up by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus was in need of a backup for Daniil Tarasov due to Elvis Merzlikins having an illness. As part of the move Kent Johnson was sent to Cleveland. Now the entire set of transactions have been reversed with Johnson back with the Blue Jackets and Greaves with the Monsters.

Cleveland begins their season at home Friday as they take on the visiting Syracuse Crunch. Columbus will return to action on Friday, also at home, against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Bill Belichick praises Njoku, Chubb

The New England Patriots head coach heaped praise upon the two Cleveland Browns players.

The Cleveland Browns will be taking on the New England Patriots this week and as per usual it is head coach Bill Belichick praising opposing players. This week Belichick spoke highly of David Njoku and Nick Chubb. Comparing the tight end to Browns legend Ozzie Newsome and saying Chubb is “as good as anybody” they will see.

On one hand it is nice to hear the best coach of all time compliment Njoku and Chubb. On the other it is something that happens each and every week, even when the player(s) he is talking about may not be all that impressive. Usually it is a bit of a giveaway of who the Patriots plan to have a specific game plan for. Chubb currently leads the league in rushing and Njoku is off to the best start of his career. Continued success is expected for the former while the latter still has to prove to be a consistent performer.

Bill Belichick also said that Cleveland’s defense was “fast”, about the only compliment that can be given. The Browns defense has struggled all season long and it does not appear that they will turn things around any time soon.
