BCR, this made me chuckle.

That’s hilarious. I thought is this some shit started by the owners kid? Doesn’t appear to be. Yet after looking at their website, x, Facebook page, and Glassdoor page, I still have no idea what they do. Graphics shit for branding probably?
The only thing I know is they love their company benefits package on Glassdoor, assuming the employees are even real.
Feels like the whole company is just AI generated slogans. The reviews of their benefits even felt fake. They all sounded too similar.
It’s supposedly a UK company, yet everyone is based in the US. You search the CEO and the only thing that pops up is their statement that he is CEO. No linkdin or anything I can find. Feels like the whole company is fake, which would be affordable for the Tribe.
Great find
I’m even going to outplay and out kick ordinary coverage on this one.
I found the nepotism. It was too stupid to not be somehow nepo shit.

CLEVELAND, OH, UNITED STATES, April 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Cleveland Guardians, in collaboration with Landor, the world leading brand consultants, today announced the launch of “Outplay Ordinary” – a bold new brand platform and refreshed visual identity set to debut in the 2025 baseball season. This initiative marks a significant step in the team’s evolution of the Guardians brand, designed to deepen fan engagement, ignite excitement, and unite the club under a unified brand vision for seasons to come.
Harnessing its expertise in sports branding and brand experience, Landor collaborated with the Cleveland Guardians and Contempo Design + Communications to craft a holistic brand platform that speaks to both lifelong fans and the next generation of Guardians supporters. The process included immersive workshops, creative exploration, and fan-driven testing to ensure the platform reflects the spirit of Cleveland and the passion of its baseball community.
“The Cleveland Guardians are stepping into the future with a brand platform that reflects our relentless drive, our deep connection rooted in Cleveland, and the passion of our fans. Working alongside Landor and Contempo, we’ve built a platform that redefines how our team shows up - on the field, in the community, and in the hearts of our fans,” says Alex King, executive vice president, marketing & brand strategy of the Cleveland Guardians.
The creative execution focuses on evolution rather than revolution, leveraging and adapting existing brand assets to create a fresh, cohesive look. The “Outplay Ordinary” platform transforms the Guardians brand into a multi-dimensional experience – infusing character, energy and novelty into every aspect of the brand and welcoming fans before, during and after a game.
Landor worked in close collaboration with the Guardians brand team as well as the Guardians longstanding local agency, Contempo Design + Communications, to ensure the new brand campaign resonated with the Cleveland fanbase.
Her and her husband own the Comtempo Deisgn + company and I’m sure the other group is some art school friends.
How about we extend Kwan instead?
Larry Dolan obit
. In their 67 years together, Larry and Eva had six children: Paul (Karen), Mark (Renee), Mary (Dave Haracz), Matthew (Jessica), Joan (Patrick Andrews), and Carol (Greggory Hill)
Yeah, I don't know enough to say for sure 100%, but it had the feel of AI.
The Dolans are a strange family. Two Irish Catholic brothers from Cleveland who both had six kids, their dad was an inventor of some sort, but I think they are largely self made. Both married over 60 years.
Obviously the one started HBO and eventually MSG and his son is a mess as Knicks owner.
The other brother stayed in Ohio and became a law partner and also made a lot of money investing in his brothers company and then sports ownership.
I was grateful he kept the team here, and I don't know any scandal with his kids other than his son and daughter in law wrote a clownish PR statement. I always get worried when the kids take over that they will eventually move team. We will see. He just died in Feb. I mean his son Paul has ran the team for a dozen years, but you never know once the old man is gone.
To be honest though, it has the entrepreneurial feel of a Jewish family in those fields. Making billions in law, entertainment, etc.
Different time in America. Art Rooney was a little more Irish mobster than the Dolans. Won a horse parlay on tip from Tim Mara who eventually owned the Giants and then bought his own team.
Man is the AL Central bad. Horrible offensive teams. I mean the Tribe has won 4 straight and they’re quite bad.
Maybe time for Sanlmar to concede Yamamoto isn't a bust... at least not yet.
Through 4 starts: 1.23 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 28/7 k-bb ratio.
Roki gonna cry again Druff? He lacks the killer attitude. Think of every great pitcher and you most often have an animal. Roki is a fag.
Take the over 8.5
Dodgers vs Righty and Roki Dokey 2.5 innings and a used up Dodgers bullpen

San go check the wagering thread. It's an offshoot of your bet today.
From ChatGPT:
The Los Angeles Dodgers' 16-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs on April 12, 2025, stands as one of the most lopsided defeats in the franchise's history. This game marked their worst shutout loss since an 18-0 defeat to the Cincinnati Reds in 1965.
Prior to this, the Dodgers suffered a 15-0 shutout loss at home to the San Francisco Giants on June 17, 2023, which matched their worst home shutout loss in franchise history—a record that dates back to a 15-0 loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1898 when the team was based in Brooklyn.
The most significant loss in terms of run differential occurred on May 5, 2001, when the Dodgers fell to the Cubs 20-1 at Wrigley Field, marking their largest margin of defeat since relocating to Los Angeles.
To be fair, Miguel Rojas pitched the final two innings, and gave up 5 runs.
Man even on 5 game win streak, Clase has looked like shit. When Cleveland becomes a team where you’re thinking first 5, that’s problematic considering I felt entirely comfortable in our bullpen coming in. Cade Smith has been great still. This Clase situation is disconcerting though. You knew you got up 3-2 after 6 it was game over last year. Now you need a 5 run lead. Normally I’d bet them against Ragans today because they already got to him, lively will give up his 2 HRs, but they’ll score on Ragans, and would be worth the risk that they’ll win it at the end at home +120 and KC anemic on offense also.
With Clase so off, it’s a stay away now.
To be fair Roki’s xFIP & SIERA (fielding independent pitching) sit around 6 …. one foot higher and he gives up a grand slam (Rojas) etc, etc. Fairly typical performance. Roki shoulda given up 5 or 6 but luckbox fielding
When you have a clear head we can discuss Glasnow.
Beezball been berry berry good to me!
So much ploppie yet so uncompetitive. 2 runs in 3 games?
Also. Maybe this needs to be reversed at this moment in time?
1. Skenes
2. Crochet
I can't find a MLB bet tonight. You got anything san or gut or druff?
Everything I look at. Skenes K props, rain supposed to start 8ish. Could get 4 in and shut down. Skubal first 5 total. U2,5 -124 lol. Frambar/Gray first 5 u2.5 -175 even bigger lol
Dodgers would require going -2.5 for even money.
Are we feeling a Goldschmidt HR prop? 7/11 with 2 HRs. +420? Any value there? Total bases 01.5, +125. Split between HR and total bases?
You have good instincts. I am not thrilled about anything either.
As if the Braves didn't already have enough problems, Marcell Ozuna was sent home and won't be in the Toronto series.
He's got knee inflammation. He might be back for the weekend, but also could just end up on the DL.
What a mess this team is. Not that the Dodgers have looked great recently (3-6 since their 8-0 start), but boy the Braves are a disaster.
