The Cleveland Guardians offense was great for two innings, hitting enough to win. But it wasn't enough to overcome a bad start by Logan Allen and a night where the bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding.   We discuss what went wrong in Logan Allen's outing vs. Detroit, and why he is more prone to this than other starters (minus Carlos Carrasco) despite having good control overall. And of course, we touch on again how this team has no starting pitching depth and how they need to figure out a way to get back to being a team that relies on starting pitching.   And we wrap up the show talkin ..read more

Jose Ramirez only had one hit vs. the Tigers but it was a big one and the go-ahead homer in the win. Are we starting to see Jose turn a corner with his at bats the last couple of days?

The Guardians had to play a fourth straight extra-inning game, and came out on the positive end on the road in Houston on Wednesday.     We get into the Guardians battling against Justin Verlander, Triston McKenzie's strong start, the bullpen going into extra innings again and a much-needed win.   Before all that, we also discuss the timing of Hunter Gaddis' struggles causing a reaction the way it did, and we evaluate the Guardians season after 30 games - what we liked, what we didn't like, and what we'd like to see happen in May for this team to sustain a strong start.   S ..read more

The Guardians started a three-game series in Houston with the Astros. Before that, however, we got some potentially interesting news that there has been a bit of a cheating scandal in the SEC in baseball. What do we know and does it have any impact on these draft-eligible hitters at the top of the board? We dive into that and why it makes Hagen Smith even more interesting.   Since the Guardians are playing the Astros, we also revisit the Myles Straw trade, what we thought about Yainer Diaz then, and what we think about him now. While we're at it, we also check in on how Nolan Jones and Wi ..read more
