Anthony Lima and Daryl Ruiter take you through what you may have missed About Last Night!

Highlights: Cleveland sports had a wild week, with dramatic Guardians wins and unexpectedly large home crowds. Jose Ramirez's playoff consistency contrasts with Francisco Lindor's limited postseason success since joining the Mets. Jose's commitment to Cleveland shows in his extension and emotional postgame celebration declaring “This is my home.” Terry Francona's magic continues with the Reds, despite their lack of standout stats or star players. Stephen Vogt's appeal to fans shows his understanding of Cleveland's working-class culture and school-night realities. Guardians pulled off a historic comeback, overcoming a 15.5-game deficit to win the division. The team's resilience recalls the 1914 Boston Braves, who rallied from 15 games back to win. Guardians starters had a streak of 19 games allowing two or fewer runs, a rare achievement. Baseball's unpredictability and “never over until it's over” nature make it a unique test of faith. Progressive Field's renovations helped attract younger fans, blending tradition with modern fan experiences. Guardians reached 2 million in attendance for back-to-back years, a milestone for a small-market team. Chase DeLauter joins the playoff taxi squad, signaling potential late-season impact if needed. Aidan Hutchinson was left in one-on-one matchups 17 times against Browns swing tackle Cornelius Lucas?. Quinshon Judkins and Harold Fannin Jr. were praised for their impact, especially Judkins' ability to turn short gains into longer runs. Only one solid performance in four games; a touchdown was allowed on special teams against Detroit. There's reluctance to reintegrate Watson despite his eligibility to return, with comparisons to awkward social encounters. Both hosts agreed that starting Gabriel wouldn't solve deeper offensive issues and could expose him to unnecessary risk. Lonzo Ball expressed surprise that Cleveland had water (Lake Erie), highlighting how little some players know about the city before arriving. Cavs media day injury updates on Darius Garland and Max Strus. Uniform Talk: Mixed reactions to the Browns' “Alpha Dawg” uniforms. Some fans loved them, others (including Terry) did not.

Fear the 'Fro talks about the Cavs acquisition of Thomas Bryant, Killian Hayes, and the press availability of Kenny Atkinson and Koby Altman, with a review of Bob's favorite answers and comments.(0:00) Cavaliers Bolster Frontcourt With Thomas Bryant Signing(4:24) How Thomas Bryant's Skills Enhance Cavaliers' Offense(9:35) Assessing The Cavs Roster Depth and Killian Hayes's Addition(13:10) Koby Altman's Strong Stance On The Core Four(16:13) Unpacking the Cavs' Ty Jerome/Sam Merrill Comments(21:07) Offseason Progress for Mobley, Hunter, and Garland(28:08) Addressing Jarrett Allen's "Toughness" QuestionsPlease, if you haven't filled out the Cavs Consensus Survey yet, you have until 10/6 to do so.  Just go to cavspod.com/survey to enter your thoughts and compete to win $500.

Highlights: The Guardians were down 15.5 games in July and 12.5 games in late August but are now on the verge of overtaking the Tigers. How have they done this? Terry noted the Tigers' collapse could be historic, while the Guardians risk losing momentum at the finish line. Terry contends the Guardians' defensive improvement coincided with Brayan Rocchio moving to second base and Gabriel Arias to shortstop. José Ramírez rebounded from a rough April and is back to playing B+/A- level defense Bo Naylor's September surge (.306 AVG, 3 HR, 14 RBI in 14 games) has been a game-changer. Terry speculated Naylor may have finally found the right adjustments after years of tinkering. Listener Max emailed about the Guardians' momentum, arguing that being red-hot matters more than being the best team on paper, and how far could they go in the playoffs? The Browns' defense is elite, ranking #1 in yards allowed and #2 in yards per play allowed. The offense is middle-of-the-pack in yards and yards per play, suggesting it's not as bad as perceived. The Browns' tackle situation is dire, with Dawand Jones out for the season and Jack Conklin injured. Should the Browns use Adin Huntington as a blocking tight end to help protect Joe Flacco? Quinshon Judkins could see more snaps due to his blocking ability and versatility. Is it time to move field goal kickers back to 9-10 yards to reduce blocks? Terry loves the idea. The Cavs' Kenny Atkinson and Koby Altman previewed the season, and Terry last the latest, including on the injuries to Max Strus and Darius Garland. Garland's injury is likely turf toe, with a return timeline of 10–20 games. Atkinson praised rookie Jaylon Tyson's intensity and potential impact. The Cavs have won the third-most games in the NBA over the last three years, behind only Boston and OKC. Their core four (Mobley, Allen, Garland, Mitchell) are all under multi-year contracts and entering their prime. Atkinson wants to unlock more of Evan Mobley's ball-handling ability to counter pressure defenses. Seven of the 15 players on the roster were second-round picks or undrafted. Why that matters.
