Guardians Skipper Feels Confident, Excited Heading Into Opening Day

It feels like it was just yesterday that Jhonkensy Noel mashed his memorable game-tying home run in Game 3 of the ALCS, sending Progressive Field into chaos.

Even though the Cleveland Guardians came up short of their goal of winning a World Series in 2024, they're just one day away from picking up where they left off on that championship quest.

As Opening Day nears, Cleveland's skipper believes his team is prepared and ready to hit the ground running.

Stephen Vogt spoke to the media ahead of the Guardians' final exhibition game on Tuesday and discussed all of the work his team did during spring training.

Overall, it's clear the second-year manager is ready to get the regular season started.

"Kai [Correa] ran a great camp once again. He crushes it. We feel like we're ready," said Vogt.

"We're ready to go. Our pitchers are ready to go. Carl did a great job with building the pitchers up. Starters are built up, fully ready to go, and the relievers have had enough appearances where they feel good."
