Episode Details

Cleveland Guardians TORCH the Detroit Tigers as Slade Cecconi turns in his best start and the lineup explodes for another high-scoring win. Can this surging Guardians offense sustain its momentum, and how close is top prospect Ralphy Velazquez to joining the big league club? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down Travis Bazzana's progress, the ripple effect of lineup changes like Steven Kwan hitting sixth, and the impressive performances from Jose Ramirez and Angel Martínez. We also dive into new catchers  impact on pitching,  whether the influx of young talent makes anyone truly “untradeable” for Cleveland. We tease a little rivalry talk between the Guardians, Tigers, and a spirited take on the Ohio Cup.
