Podcast appearances and mentions of jose ramirez

In this edition of Lima Likes, Anthony Lima celebrates Jose Ramirez snapping his home run drought during an 11-1 rout of the Royals that keeps Cleveland's Wild Card hopes alive, while noting the Guardians remain firmly in "can" not "will" territory with 25 games left. He and Ken dig into Chris Antonetti's non-committal stance on prospect Ralphy Velasquez's call-up case, run through a sloppy college football weekend for Browns quarterback prospects like CJ Bailey, and close with an extended, mostly unserious debate over whether Odell Beckham Jr. has had work done.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong leads off today's slate following a massive performance that headlines an action-packed day of studs, duds, and injury news. Corey Pieper breaks down a standout display from one of baseball's electric young stars, a flurry of high-profile activations and call-ups, the weekly Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Pete Crow-Armstrong headlines the top performers in a stellar studs column alongside Sal Stewart, Elly De La Cruz, Tarik Skubal, Jackson Kent, Brady House, Jackson Merrill, Dylan Cease, George Springer, Ronald Acuna Jr., Logan Henderson, Jake Bauers, Quinn Mathews, Tim Tawa, Jake Bennett, Blake Snell, Andrew Benintendi, Jose Soriano, Nolan McLean, Yordan Alvarez, Chandler Simpson, Jackson Chourio, Andrew Alvarez, Will Warren, Austin Wells, Paul Goldschmidt, Tyler Mahle, Max Scherzer, Parker Messick, Jose Ramirez, Chase DeLauter, Ezequiel Duran, Zebby Matthews, Gunnar Henderson, Michael Wacha dueling Tanner Bibee, Hunter Brown facing Christian Scott, Cam Schlittler matching up with Patrick Sandoval, Andrew Painter dueling Reid Detmers, Brandon Young battling Jacob Lopez, Merrill Kelly facing Matt Wilkinson, Shane Drohan dueling Cal Quantrill, Cristopher Sanchez matching up with Ryan Johnson, Tyler Glasnow facing Framber Valdez, Braxton Ashcraft facing Matthew Liberatore, and Zack Wheeler dueling Yusei Kikuchi. The health and transaction wire was buzzing as Jack Leiter is shut down following a setback, Hurston Waldrep undergoes Tommy John surgery, Spencer Schwellenbach undergoes surgery, Spencer Strider is not expected back this season, Blaze Jordan lands on the injured list with an ankle sprain, and JJ Wetherholt hits the IL. Meanwhile, Byron Buxton manages a hip issue, Cade Cavalli deals with calf discomfort, Xavier Edwards exited early, and Emerson Hancock experiences health updates. Conversely, fantasy rosters receive huge reinforcements as Max Fried, Juan Soto, Garret Whitlock, Roman Anthony, and Trevor Story are all activated, Bryce Miller is shifted to the bullpen, Luis Robert Jr. is placed on waivers, and top prospect Lazaro Montes earns a call-up to the majors. On the flip side, Eugenio Suarez, Eury Perez, Dean Kremer, Jackson Holliday, Willson Contreras, Kyle Leahy, Andrew Abbott, Kevin Gausman, Kade Anderson, Xavier Edwards, CJ Abrams, Ranger Suarez, Seth Lugo, Dustin May, and Chris Bassitt matching up against Jeffrey Springs all struggled into the duds section.

Ken and Anthony break down the Guardians' improbable comeback win, rallying from an early 3-0 deficit to sweep their road trip and extend their winning streak to seven straight. They dig into Joey Cantillo's bizarre outing (seven walks, still a quality start), Steven Kwan's red-hot second half, and Jose Ramirez heating up at the perfect time as Cleveland closes the gap on the White Sox in the AL Central. The conversation then shifts to a heated debate over the Browns' backup quarterback fan controversy, with the guys sparring over bot accounts, fan sentiment, and whether the QB competition was ever really close.

Cleveland rallies from down 5-0 with a 10-inning, no-home-run comeback behind Jose Ramirez's five RBIs and a highlight-reel catch from Angel Martinez, pushing their playoff odds to 56%. That win sets off a debate about whether just reaching the postseason still means anything for a team that's made it eight of the last 11 years, with one host comparing the Guardians' underdog run to a scrappy college football program getting by on heart instead of money. The conversation gets heated over how much slack a low-payroll team deserves versus bigger-market rivals like the Blue Jays and Red Sox, and whether anything short of an ALDS win will actually feel like a real accomplishment this October.

Ken and Lima bring in producer John to recap the Guardians' wild comeback win, highlighting Jose Ramirez's three doubles and five RBI, Steven Kwan's 5-for-5 night, and Angel Martinez robbing Mike Trout of a go-ahead homer, then dig into whether Ralphy Velasquez's hot streak in the minors makes him worth calling up despite lockout-related roster risks. They also break down the fan and industry reaction to Akron letting a season-ticket-holding alum call plays in an upcoming game, debating whether the stunt could catch on with bigger programs looking to cash in on similar buzz.

Jordan Shusterman is back from vacation, and he re-joins Jake Mintz to take stock of the stretch run as October rapidly approaches. The hosts kick off the show by drafting their "main characters" for the remainder of the regular season—the 10 key individual players who will dictate, impact, and define the playoff picture, including Fernando Tatis Jr., Kyle Schwarber, Ronald Acuña Jr., Pete Crow-Armstrong, Jose Ramirez, and Cal Raleigh.   Next, the guys break down the Seattle Mariners calling up the top pitching prospect in baseball, Kade Anderson. They discuss what makes the former LSU star so special, how he fell to the Mariners at the third pick in the draft, and what to expect from his debut against the Cubs. They also address the bizarre update surrounding Ketel Marte, who was moved from the restricted list to the 10-day IL following a team meeting with Diamondbacks executives.   Finally, it's Friday, which means an action-packed edition of "The Good, The Bad, and The Uggla”. Highlights from "The Good" include Milwaukee Brewers prospect Sawyer Strosnider hitting his first pro home run directly to his dad on the party deck and a gamer throwing a perfect game on MVP Baseball 2005. "The Bad" touches on Jorge Polanco's season-ending ankle surgery and a non-definitive foul pole camera replay in Baltimore. "The Uggla” features a raccoon reaching through the Citi Field floorboards for peanuts and Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev revealing his diehard obsession with the Cincinnati Reds.   Timetamps: (00:00) — Introduction & Jordan Returns From Vacation (01:57) — Rest-of-Season Main Characters Draft (Tatis, Schwarber, Acuña, PCA, J-Ram & More) (37:48) — Mariners Call Up #1 Pitching Prospect Cade Anderson (48:30) — Ketel Marte's Bizarre IL Update & Diamondbacks Meeting (56:15) — The Good: Dad Catches Son's 1st Pro HR & MVP 2005 Perfect Game Milestone (01:05:10) — The Bad: Jorge Polanco's Season-Ending Injury & Orioles Foul Pole Camera Controversy (01:13:55) — The Uggla: Citi Field Raccoon & Daniil Medvedev's Diehard Reds Obsession (01:21:28) — Weekend Series Preview & Outro Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Artsition Webpage WeGo Places Interview with CEO and Co-Founder of Artsition Efrain Aguilar

Ty Robinson is improving, Jose Ramirez is being overlooked, and Josh Wiru needs time before he becomes a roster-ready defender.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ken and Lima debate whether the struggling Guardians should demote number one overall pick Travis Bazzana to the minors as Cleveland sits five and a half games back and under 500, with both agreeing that sending down a top pick is nearly unheard of and would be a mistake given his defensive improvement. They float shutting down an injured Jose Ramirez for the year and reshuffling the infield to keep Bazzana in the lineup, then pivot into the ongoing Deshaun Watson versus Shedeur Sanders debate, with Ken predicting Watson gets benched by week four regardless of the outcome.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima evaluate whether Deshaun Watson is truly earning his starting role with the Browns or simply benefiting from a lack of competition. They also analyze the Guardians' recent struggles, debating if Travis Bazzana needs a minor league reset and whether Jose Ramirez should be shut down to recover from injury. 01:50 - Fan 15 Celebration Promo 06:05 - Watson Earning Starting Job 16:05 - Potential Travis Bazzana Reset 19:13 - Shutting Down Jose Ramirez 24:08 - Evaluating Watson Trade Value 33:11 - Browns Preseason Offense Style

The hosts of 92.3 The Fan vent their frustrations over the Guardians' recent downturn, with Ken and Anthony drawing parallels to Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski's press conferences. Elsewhere, they discuss whether it's time to shut down Jose Ramirez for the rest of the season, while Baskin & Phelps debate whether there's still enough time for the Guards to turn things around. The Afternoon Drive wonders if the Guards are slumping or this is just who they are.

The Afternoon Drive wonders if the Guards are slumping or this is just who they are.

Prompted by the Dery Brothers' Guardians Cast, Ken and Anthony debate whether Jose Ramirez should be shut down given he hasn't recorded an extra-base hit since June 13th and appears to be playing through pain, including a defensive error that may point to compensation for his hamate injury. They weigh Ramirez's fierce competitiveness and refusal to sit against the risk of long-term damage, especially with him turning 34 in September and a potential lockout looming over next season's schedule. The two land on genuinely considering shutting him down by the end of the current homestand if the offense doesn't turn around against the Giants and Padres.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima evaluate the Cleveland Guardians' recent slump and the internal debate over Jose Ramirez's lingering hand injury. They discuss whether the star should be sidelined to preserve his long-term health while comparing Stephen Vogt's managerial style to Kevin Stefanski's postgame tone. Additionally, they explore the complicated relationship between Browns fans and Deshaun Watson ahead of the preseason. 03:10 - Guardians Perspective vs Last Year 07:24 - Bullpen Faith and Platooning 11:32 - Vogt Sounding Like Stefanski 17:22 - AL Central Division Ineptitude 21:08 - Shutting Down Jose Ramirez 26:23 - Age and Injury Concerns 32:57 - Deshaun Watson Fan Dilemma 37:51 - QB Future and Shedeur Sanders

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate the future of the Guardians as calls grow to shut down Jose Ramirez for the season due to injury. They analyze the Browns' quarterback competition heading into the first preseason game against the Bears, questioning whether fans actually want Deshaun Watson to succeed. The conversation also covers the difficulty of the Cavs' schedule and the NFL's decision to play the Super Bowl on Valentine's Day. 02:40 - Steven Kwan Perspective 09:15 - Evaluating Young Talent 13:45 - Managerial Press Conferences 22:10 - Shut Down Jose 30:58 - Deshaun Watson Debate 38:20 - QB Future Tensions 48:10 - Browns Fan Truths 56:41 - Daryl Ryder Interview 01:04:50 - Defensive Line Depth 01:14:45 - Paul Skenes Physique 01:22:08 - Spiral Mechanics Talk 01:29:45 - Drew Allar Analysis 01:39:10 - The Duck Hunt 01:47:45 - Watson Career Costs 01:57:15 - Cavs Schedule Brutality 02:05:50 - Nathan Zegura Interview 02:14:45 - Defensive Scheme Shifts 02:25:15 - Valentine's Day Super Bowl

Browns beat reporter Daryl Ruiter joins Ken and Anthony to preview Saturday's preseason opener against Chicago, saying he wants to see both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders operate the offense cleanly and on target, while noting Watson has looked sharper in recent practices after a rocky start to camp. Ruiter pushes back on the idea that questioning Sanders' pre-snap execution is an attack on his intelligence, framing it instead as a byproduct of learning a new, demanding scheme from scratch, and says roster bubble battles at cornerback and the fifth/sixth receiver spots won't really take shape until the third preseason game. He also touches on Za'Darius Smith's potential return, Joe Rowe's unexplained absence from camp, and agrees with the show's earlier take that Jose Ramirez should be shut down for a couple of weeks to let his hand heal.

Nick and Jonathan debate if the Guardians should put Jose Ramirez back on the injured list, and they react to Pat McAfee's viral music album.

Nick and Jonathan share humorous stories about awkward family photo sessions and the trend of boudoir photography, and they analyze Jose Ramirez's ongoing hand injury.

Nick and Jonathan react to clips from Pat McAfee's viral new music album.

Ken and Lima bring in producer John to recap the Guardians' 6-4 win over the Tigers behind Foster Griffin, Angel Martinez's three-hit game, and Steven Kwan's continued hot streak, while framing Jose Ramirez's visible frustration after an error as a good sign for a team that hit rock bottom days earlier, though Anthony admits he's nervous about Ramirez playing through injury. The bulk of the segment covers Mark Walter selling the Lakers to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion, a $2 billion profit in just 14 months, which the guys use to argue the NBA is thriving financially despite narratives about the league struggling, pointing to recent Boston and Dallas sale prices and expansion fee estimates. They debate whether the Lakers or Dodgers are more popular in L.A. versus globally, and pivot into a broader discussion on single-owner versus ownership-group models in sports, weighing accountability against the risk of a meddling owner, with the old Browns relocation brought up as a cautionary tale. The segment closes with a quick take on Russell Westbrook's retirement, comparing his legacy and fan appeal to James Harden's.

Gator wants to punch Riger!

Are you scared of Jose Ramirez?

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima play sound of Guardians legend Tom Hamilton explaining that Jose Ramirez's hamate bone surgery means fans won't see the "real" Ramirez again until next season, sparking a mix of denial and grief on the show. Ken admits he doesn't want to accept the season is over, arguing the team's identity of clutch hitting and manufactured runs simply isn't who this roster is anymore. A caller pushes back that what fans are watching is essentially minor league baseball given 10-11 rookie call-ups, while the hosts note that's not new for this era of Guardians teams.

Using a Rambo "First Blood" analogy, the show digs into whether the Guardians' season is truly finished, pointing to a young, retooled roster's struggles with runners in scoring position as Chase DeLauder admits players are pressing instead of just taking their normal at-bats. Comparisons to last year's veteran-laden club that overcame a 15.5-game deficit highlight why this year's lineup, overhauled by call-ups and trade deadline moves, lacks the same identity and clutch numbers, even leaving nine runners on base in one recent game. The hosts wrestle with how much of this is simply what happens when a team leans this heavily on inexperienced players, while noting Jose Ramirez's rough season has coincided with Steven Kwan finally salvaging his own year.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima discuss the narrative surrounding Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson, questioning whether the team's social media strategy influences public perception of the quarterback battle. They also examine the high expectations for rookie Spencer Fano and how his performance impacts General Manager Andrew Berry's legacy. The conversation wraps up with a look at Tim Anderson's retirement and the impact of his altercation with Jose Ramirez. 01:20 - Shedeur Sanders Narrative 06:47 - Preseason Starting Strategy 13:02 - Spencer Fano Pressure 20:31 - Andrew Berry Planning 30:48 - Tim Anderson Retirement 34:30 - Williams Brothers And ABS

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima bring in producer John to react to Tim Anderson's retirement by revisiting how Jose Ramirez's 2023 fight with him seemingly derailed Anderson's career, noting his stats craterered afterward despite prior All-Star form. They also break down Quinnen Williams' massive new contract extension and needle each other over which Williams brother (the NFL All-Pro or his younger brother Quincy) is more impressive given their size and draft-position gap. The segment wraps with a light debate on MLB's ABS (automated ball-strike) system, noting it won't be used in the upcoming Field of Dreams and Little League Classic games for logistical reasons, with both hosts admitting they've come around on liking the challenge system.

Anthony Castrovince breaks down the Cleveland Guardians' recent slide, the struggles of the bullpen, and the long-term outlook for Jose Ramirez.

Ken and Anthony run through Lima Likes with John filling in, covering the Guardians' bullpen meltdown and Jose Ramirez's injury-plagued "lost season" that still might produce solid numbers, plus a recap of the station's charity softball night in Canton highlighting Anthony's surprisingly hard fastball. They rip Robert Morris fans reportedly buying up Akron Zips season tickets to sabotage a raffle promotion, then dig into Hall of Fame weekend, including Pat McAfee's awkward speech line about his wife and the snub of Bill Belichick.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze the ongoing quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, questioning the Cleveland Browns' front office strategy. They also address the online discourse from various fanbases and the recent struggles of the Cleveland Guardians' bullpen following a Jose Ramirez injury. 01:50 - Browns Quarterback Competition 06:36 - Evaluating Shedeur Sanders 11:05 - Critique Of Browns Front Office 15:35 - Potential QB Trade Markets 24:06 - Sanders Fans Versus Watson 33:05 - Guardians Bullpen Performance Issues 37:44 - NFL Hall Of Fame 41:10 - MGK Day Rain Delays

MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince joins the show and pushes back on blaming manager Stephen Vogt for the Guardians' collapse, arguing he's made the most of a young, thin roster and that the recent struggles come down to performance and injuries rather than in-game decisions. He points to bullpen meltdowns, a lack of league-average offense, and a run differential suggesting the team is actually worse than its record shows. Castrovince also explains Jose Ramirez's power outage as a direct result of a recent hamate surgery rather than age decline, and breaks down Steven Kwan's inconsistent season, urging him to stop chasing power and lean back into his get-on-base, elite-defense identity.
