The Cleveland Guardians have hit the ground running in Spring Training, helmets flying off their heads like they do with Jose Ramirez.

Not totally literally, except for Ramirez, who yes has already had his helmet come off while running the bases.

But the Guardians enter Tuesday in a spot no other team in MLB does: They're 4-0.

It's a small sample size, and it's only Spring Training, but it's still cool.

There are a few 3-0 teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, who Cleveland faces on Tuesday. But the only 4-0 team is the Guardians.

That's in part because on their very first day of spring games, the Guardians had a split-squad day, meaning two halves of their roster played at once in different places. Both won.

The most recent win came Monday, thanks in large part to Ramirez.

He appeared to homer early in the game, but the ball was ruled to have stayed in the park, so he had to settle for a double.

His next time up, Ramirez made sure there was no doubt, clobbering the ball well beyond the fence. He certainly looks ready for Opening Day.

The Guardians will start Gavin Williams for the first time this spring on Tuesday. The right-hander they call "Big Rig" is a key part of their rotation, and while he'll likely only go a couple innings, it's always fun for fans when the top players get onto the field for the first time.

At some point, Cleveland may want to save some wins for the regular season and beyond. But for now, it's fun -- it certainly doesn't hurt the vibes to win every time you take the field, even when it's just Spring Training.
