Episode Details

The Cleveland Guardians set their rotation for the ALDS showdown vs the Chicago White Sox as fans gear up for another nerve wracking postseason run. Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis discuss why Parker Messick and Gavin Williams must set the tone against the Chicago White Sox with dominant starts. Then we debate pitching rotation, potential bullpen strategies with Foster Griffin and Joey Cantillo, and the impact of home run suppression in Progressive Field headline this ALDS preview. The show also gives you final roster decisions, debating whether bats like Kyle Manzardo or strategic defenders like Blake Perkins make the cut. Bottom line, the Guardians’ offensive upgrades are better compared to last year’s squad.
