Bibee’s Struggles Threaten Guardians’ Playoff Hopes | Cleveland Guardians News

Tanner Bibee’s postseason hopes are hanging by a thread as his recent starts spiral out of control—averaging just over three runs per nine innings, he’s been the league’s worst-supported pitcher. A promising six-run lead early in Tuesday’s game against Baltimore quickly evaporated when he unraveled in the second inning, surrendering five earned runs in under four innings. His reliance on harder stuff and cutters after initial success with softer pitches seems to be backfiring, mirroring a troubling trend of ten earned runs in less than nine innings across his last few outings. With only sixteen games left and both Bibee and Joey Cantillo nearing their 30th starts, fatigue may be part of the problem—but the real issue might be his inability to adjust mid-game. As the Guardians prepare for a pivotal stretch, including a White Sox series that feels like playoff prep, the team faces a brutal rotation decision: can they trust Bibee—or must they pivot now to preserve their playoff chances?
