Live stream replay: Zack and T.J. discuss the upcoming start of the ALDS. Cleveland continues to prepare for their series against their AL Central foe, the Chicago White Sox. The Guardians named their Game 1 starter, the guys react. 

MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince joins Ken and Anthony to break down the Guardians' AL Central win, the rust factor from a week off, and Jose Ramirez playing through a compromised season. He also weighs in on the Guardians' game three pitching options between Tanner Bibee, Joey Cantillo or Foster Griffin and on whether MLB should overhaul its playoff format down the road.

After the Mariners fire their manager in an old-school on-camera farewell, Ken and Anthony dig into a report naming Stephen Vogt as a dream hire, tracing his rise from unproven first-time manager to three straight AL Central titles. They debate whether the Guardians would ever trade him, whether his $4 million salary already reflects how much they value him, and how close a call it was when the Mets once tried to poach GM Mike Chernoff.

The Chiefs didn't win many style points, but they won the game.A 24-10 triumph in the first road game, at the Miami Dolphins, improved the Chiefs' record to 3-0 for the 14th time in franchise history.On SportsBeat KC, the weekly sports podcast of The Star and KCUR (89.3), beat writer Pete Sweeney and columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian broke down the game they covered in Miami, and what it means for the Chiefs going forward, starting with Sunday's date against the surprising Las Vegas Raiders. They also stand 3-0.Also, Royals beat writer Jaylon Thompson wraps up the season of a team that finished a disappointing 69-93 and in last place in the AL Central. It wasn't supposed to be this way for the Royals, who were coming off consecutive winning seasons.But instead of going to the postseason, they watched two other teams from their division, the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians, uncork champagne and celebrate their accomplishments at Kauffman Stadium, rubbing salt in the wound.SportsBeat KC is the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, hosted by Blair Kerkhoff. It's produced by Hannah Wise, Suzanne Hogan, and Seth Jahraus, and edited by Jeff Rosen and Scott Chasen.

Anthony hands out his likes to the Browns defense for its 30 pressures against Carolina, the Guardians for clinching the AL Central and Jeremiah Smith for his four-touchdown Heisman push.

Ken and Anthony open with voicemails from fans who have flipped from Todd Monken doubters to believers after the Browns beat Carolina, then turn to the Guardians clinching their third straight division title. They debate whether this year's run beats last year's historic comeback, crediting the young roster and players like Chase DeLauter and Steven Kwan for picking up the slack while Jose Ramirez struggled. They also weigh the pros and cons of a week off before the ALDS and whether they would rather face the White Sox or the Astros.

Bill & Alyssa are both coming off a weekend full of Good Vibes! Alyssa took in Banana Baseball at Progressive Field, while Bill joined his Mom for the “More Than Pink” walk. Plus, congrats to the Guardians on winning the AL Central! But even that hasn't been enough to get Bill back on the Browns bandwagon.

Brad Evans and Pat Boyle break down the biggest races entering MLB's final weekend, with Arizona chasing a Wild Card spot and the White Sox battling Cleveland for the AL Central.

The final weekend of the regular season is upon us, and the postseason picture is just about set. However, there are still a couple of moving pieces that need to be determined before we can officially set sail onto the best time of the year. With the NL Wild Card, AL Central and AL West all up for grabs, we're in for an exciting regular-season finale across the league.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman paint the picture for the series coming up, including whether the Arizona Diamondbacks can find a way into the NL Wild Card picture despite their odds being long, whether the Chicago White Sox can find a way to get back on top in the Central and who will come away with the AL West crown. Can the Houston Astros hang on and stave off the Texas Rangers to set up a matchup with the White Sox in the Wild Card round?Later in the show, Jake and Jordan take a look at all the happenings around the league, including Max Scherzer trying to one-up Justin Verlander and pass him in career strikeouts before Verlander's final career start, as well as some miscommunication issues between Aaron Judge, Aaron Boone and the New York Yankees. They also highlight a couple of managers who managed to parlay their interim titles into full-time positions.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze whether the Cleveland Guardians' postseason berth counts as a successful season, comparing it to previous playoff runs and fan expectations. They discuss the significance of clinching the AL Central division and then transition to the Cleveland Browns' home opener. The conversation covers Nick Chubb's retirement ceremony and the national narrative surrounding potential fan boos for Deshaun Watson.

The Guardians punched their postseason ticket with a 1-0 win over the Red Sox, but Ken and Anthony debate whether the low-key clubhouse celebration undersold the moment compared to the White Sox conga line. The two spar over whether making the playoffs counts as a "successful season" given the Guardians' perennial low payroll and young roster, drawing comparisons to the Cavs' Eastern Conference Finals run. With the AL Central crown still up for grabs on the final weekend, they debate how much sweeter a division title would feel versus settling for a wild card spot.

Ken and Anthony push back on the "weak AL Central" narrative surrounding the Guardians' playoff berth, arguing the balanced schedule and expanded playoff format make the division-strength argument mostly moot compared to years past. They dig into what's fueling their late-season surge, from Steven Kwan rediscovering his swing to a bullpen that's been excellent for over a month, while wondering if a struggling Jose Ramirez could still have a big postseason. The segment closes with a quick hit on Nick Chubb's retirement press conference set for later today.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze the Cleveland Guardians' postseason berth and the intense debate over the team's success in the AL Central. They discuss the emotional return of Nick Chubb to retire as a Cleveland Brown and the ongoing discourse regarding fan reactions toward Deshaun Watson.
