The Guardians bullpen flipped the script from Monday and let the Yankees back in the game in a 4-2 loss. Tanner Bibee (& Logan Allen) is here to stay. We talk about Bibee's strong start in the Bronx and how the rotation is going to look going forward, including who will be the #5 starter. We get into why going to Karinchak in that spot, and in general was the wrong process, regardless of the result. Should the Guardians have gone to David Fry late in the game? The Guardians are giving up more precious outs. Who will be sent down when Sam Hentges comes back sometime this weekend? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Cleveland Guardians win today picking up their 91st of the season and taking it to the Kansas City Royals. We focus in during segment one on the weird way their opponent was decided thanks to a game a catcher won on the mound and what might be the most on-point way to clinch this year which was thanks to the weather. The Cleveland Guardians will face the Tampa Bay Rays. We get into why this might be the best matchup in general. Then we get into the hot topic issue of the day: the fact the playoff games are not sold out and why it is.  Next, we get into the win which was a rather odd affair that saw only two hitters reach base more than once Amed Rosario and Gabriel Arias. Cal Quantrill continues to be a force when he is on the mound in Cleveland. The bullpen wasn't as sharp as always but did enough to get the win. We talk about some of the minor struggles with Clase, Karinchak, and Stephan. Does it feel like the team has taken their foot off the gas a bit?  We end with a discussion of what 14 players will make the postseason in terms of the hitters and what we think the likely way they will be deployed will be. We get into who has performed well and why the specific bench players they seem to have chosen provide certain skills that could make them extra valuable in the postseason. In many respects, the hitters are more straightforward than the pitchers when it comes to the postseason.    Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

MLB – Tigers GM Al Avila fired after 7 years, no playoffs The Detroit Tigers have fired general manager Al Avila, ending a seven-year tenure with no playoff appearances. Owner Chris Ilitch announced the move with his team mired in another disappointing season. Detroit entered Wednesday at 43-68, last in the AL Central. Ilitch invested millions in the offseason in an attempt to return his team to contention. Assistant general manager Sam Menzin takes over the day-to-day leadership role. Avila was promoted to general manager a little more than seven years ago after serving as Dave Dombrowski’s assistant. The Tigers had only one winning season during Avila’s tenure. Avila was the only Latino general manager or equivalent in the majors. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Cleveland Guardians 3, Detroit Tigers 2 Kansas City Royals 8, Chicago White Sox 3 Chicago Cubs 4, Washington Nationals 2 Guardians 3, Tigers 2 – Guardians beat Tigers 3-2 after Detroit fires GM Al Avila Steven Kwan hit a leadoff triple and scored to help Cleveland Guardians get off to a solid start and James Karinchak struck out three to strand three runners in the eighth inning to help them hold on to beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Wednesday night. Aaron Civale started for Cleveland after being on the 15-day injured list with wrist inflammation and retired the first nine batters. Civale gave up two runs and three hits while striking out four over four innings. Karinchak and five other relievers — including Bryan Shaw (5-2) — combined for five innings of scoreless relief. Emmanuel Clase gave up one hit in the ninth, earning his 26th save. Cleveland started the day tied with Minnesota for first place in the AL Central. The Guardians lead the last-place Tigers by 16 games in the division. Royals 8, White Sox 3 – Royals rookie Melendez delivers in 8-3 win over White Sox MJ Melendez hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning to send the Kansas City Royals past the Chicago White Sox 8-3. Melendez and Salvador Perez both had three hits and two RBIs for the Royals. Kyle Isbel drove in two runs and scored twice. After leading all minor leaguers with 41 home runs last year, Melendez has 14 in 81 big league games this season. The left-handed-hitting rookie sent a pitch from lefty reliever Jake Diekman into the right-field bullpen to give Kansas City a 4-3 lead. Isbel hit a two-run single in the eighth and scored on Melendez’s single. Perez added an RBI single to make it 8-3. Josh Staumont worked a perfect seventh for the win. Cubs 4, Nationals 2 – Hoerner, Cubs top power-hitting rookie Meneses, Nationals Nico Hoerner homered to ignite a four-run rally in the seventh inning that sent the Chicago Cubs over power-hitting rookie Joey Meneses and the Washington Nationals 4-2. Hoerner’s seventh home run ended a shutout bid by Nationals starter Josiah Gray and enabled the Cubs to earn just their second win in 51 games in which they trailed entering the seventh. The Cubs have won four of six and next play Thursday in the Field of Dreams game in Iowa against Cincinnati. Meneses homered in his third straight game for the Nationals, who have lost seven of eight. The 30-year-old Meneses made his major league debut on Aug. 2. He became the first player in Nationals franchise history to homer four times in his first seven games.

It was unclear if the Bears took him off the list Wednesday because of a potential contract extension or trade, or to fine him for missing practices. Smith has been a “hold-in” since training camp began with negotiations on a new deal apparently at a standstill. Placing him on the physically unable to perform list allowed him to attend meetings and workouts at Halas Hall without being fined for missing practices. Smith, who does not have an agent, accused the Bears of not negotiating in good faith in a statement on Tuesday. NFL – Backups will continue QB battle in Lions preseason opener Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is expected to play briefly in the preseason opener before Tim Boyle and David Blough get a chance to compete to be the team’s backup and perhaps seal a spot on the roster. This offseason, the Lions made it a point to bring back Boyle and Blough on one-year deals after both shared reserve backup duties last season. It was Boyle who served as Goff’s primary backup in 2021, but this year the two have been splitting time with the second-team offense in training camp. NCAA – Big Ten – Notre Dame AD: Big Ten deal with NBC ‘perfect’ for Irish Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick says the coming Big Ten television contract with NBC is a “perfect” way for the network to complement its deal with the Fighting Irish. Swarbrick held a live chat for Notre Dame’s alumni association. He addressed recent developments with the Big Ten and how they could impact the school’s ability to remain a football independent. The Big Ten is moving toward media rights contracts with Fox, NBC and CBS. NBC has had exclusive rights to broadcast Notre Dame home games since 1991. Swarbrick says NBC having more college football will help promote Notre Dame games. NBA – Lawyer: Photos of Kobe Bryant’s remains shared ‘for a laugh’ A lawyer for the widow of Kobe Bryant told jurors that a “culture of callousness” led Los Angeles County deputies and firefighters to share photos of the remains of Kobe Bryant and other victims of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed the Lakers star, his 13-year-old daughter, and seven others. Vanessa Bryant’s lawyer Luis Li said the photos were “visual gossip” that were shared “for a laugh.” Vanessa Bryant is suing for invasion of privacy. An attorney for LA County said the photos were an essential tool at the crash scene, and that officials successfully kept them from becoming public. NHL – Ex-Leafs star Salming diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease Former Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings defenseman Borje Salming has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, the team announced Wednesday. Salming, who played 16 seasons with the Leafs and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1996, said he recognizes that there is no cure for the disease but says there are treatments available to slow the progression. Salming, 71, is receiving treatment in his native Sweden, where there are more than 800 patients living with ALS.

MLB – Tigers GM Al Avila fired after 7 years, no playoffs The Detroit Tigers have fired general manager Al Avila, ending a seven-year tenure with no playoff appearances. Owner Chris Ilitch announced the move with his team mired in another disappointing season. Detroit entered Wednesday at 43-68, last in the AL Central. Ilitch invested millions in the offseason in an attempt to return his team to contention. Assistant general manager Sam Menzin takes over the day-to-day leadership role. Avila was promoted to general manager a little more than seven years ago after serving as Dave Dombrowski’s assistant. The Tigers had only one winning season during Avila’s tenure. Avila was the only Latino general manager or equivalent in the majors. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Cleveland Guardians 3, Detroit Tigers 2 Kansas City Royals 8, Chicago White Sox 3 Chicago Cubs 4, Washington Nationals 2 Guardians 3, Tigers 2 – Guardians beat Tigers 3-2 after Detroit fires GM Al Avila Steven Kwan hit a leadoff triple and scored to help Cleveland Guardians get off to a solid start and James Karinchak struck out three to strand three runners in the eighth inning to help them hold on to beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Wednesday night. Aaron Civale started for Cleveland after being on the 15-day injured list with wrist inflammation and retired the first nine batters. Civale gave up two runs and three hits while striking out four over four innings. Karinchak and five other relievers — including Bryan Shaw (5-2) — combined for five innings of scoreless relief. Emmanuel Clase gave up one hit in the ninth, earning his 26th save. Cleveland started the day tied with Minnesota for first place in the AL Central. The Guardians lead the last-place Tigers by 16 games in the division. Royals 8, White Sox 3 – Royals rookie Melendez delivers in 8-3 win over White Sox MJ Melendez hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning to send the Kansas City Royals past the Chicago White Sox 8-3. Melendez and Salvador Perez both had three hits and two RBIs for the Royals. Kyle Isbel drove in two runs and scored twice. After leading all minor leaguers with 41 home runs last year, Melendez has 14 in 81 big league games this season. The left-handed-hitting rookie sent a pitch from lefty reliever Jake Diekman into the right-field bullpen to give Kansas City a 4-3 lead. Isbel hit a two-run single in the eighth and scored on Melendez’s single. Perez added an RBI single to make it 8-3. Josh Staumont worked a perfect seventh for the win. Cubs 4, Nationals 2 – Hoerner, Cubs top power-hitting rookie Meneses, Nationals Nico Hoerner homered to ignite a four-run rally in the seventh inning that sent the Chicago Cubs over power-hitting rookie Joey Meneses and the Washington Nationals 4-2. Hoerner’s seventh home run ended a shutout bid by Nationals starter Josiah Gray and enabled the Cubs to earn just their second win in 51 games in which they trailed entering the seventh. The Cubs have won four of six and next play Thursday in the Field of Dreams game in Iowa against Cincinnati. Meneses homered in his third straight game for the Nationals, who have lost seven of eight. The 30-year-old Meneses made his major league debut on Aug. 2. He became the first player in Nationals franchise history to homer four times in his first seven games.

It was unclear if the Bears took him off the list Wednesday because of a potential contract extension or trade, or to fine him for missing practices. Smith has been a “hold-in” since training camp began with negotiations on a new deal apparently at a standstill. Placing him on the physically unable to perform list allowed him to attend meetings and workouts at Halas Hall without being fined for missing practices. Smith, who does not have an agent, accused the Bears of not negotiating in good faith in a statement on Tuesday. NFL – Backups will continue QB battle in Lions preseason opener Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is expected to play briefly in the preseason opener before Tim Boyle and David Blough get a chance to compete to be the team’s backup and perhaps seal a spot on the roster. This offseason, the Lions made it a point to bring back Boyle and Blough on one-year deals after both shared reserve backup duties last season. It was Boyle who served as Goff’s primary backup in 2021, but this year the two have been splitting time with the second-team offense in training camp. NCAA – Big Ten – Notre Dame AD: Big Ten deal with NBC ‘perfect’ for Irish Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick says the coming Big Ten television contract with NBC is a “perfect” way for the network to complement its deal with the Fighting Irish. Swarbrick held a live chat for Notre Dame’s alumni association. He addressed recent developments with the Big Ten and how they could impact the school’s ability to remain a football independent. The Big Ten is moving toward media rights contracts with Fox, NBC and CBS. NBC has had exclusive rights to broadcast Notre Dame home games since 1991. Swarbrick says NBC having more college football will help promote Notre Dame games. NBA – Lawyer: Photos of Kobe Bryant’s remains shared ‘for a laugh’ A lawyer for the widow of Kobe Bryant told jurors that a “culture of callousness” led Los Angeles County deputies and firefighters to share photos of the remains of Kobe Bryant and other victims of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed the Lakers star, his 13-year-old daughter, and seven others. Vanessa Bryant’s lawyer Luis Li said the photos were “visual gossip” that were shared “for a laugh.” Vanessa Bryant is suing for invasion of privacy. An attorney for LA County said the photos were an essential tool at the crash scene, and that officials successfully kept them from becoming public. NHL – Ex-Leafs star Salming diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease Former Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings defenseman Borje Salming has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, the team announced Wednesday.

It's Game 95 of the 2022 Season and the Cleveland Guardians can't solve the Boston Red Sox and fall 3-1.

The Guardians won the first game of the double header, we talk about the first complete game of the year for a Guardians' pitcher this year. As a matter of fact, it was also a Maddux, which is a rare occurrence when a pitcher has a complete game and throws under 100 pitches. We also get into the possible All-Star snub for Shane Bieber. He has performed much better than I had thought over the course of the year. We also talk about the decision to not pinch-hit for Luke Maile with the bases loaded in the sixth inning.  We talk about the second game in the double header as it is occurring. We focus on the positive, which was a solid starter by Pilkington. We then focus on the potential positive performances of Nick Sandlin and James Karinchak. These two were supposed to be the late-inning arms for the Guardians. For Sandlin, this makes three strong appearances in a row and for Karinchak it is his best performance in a calendar year. If these two can start going it might make the Guardians pen one of the top few in all of baseball. We continue to discuss the floated Franmil Reyes trade rumor. It is hard to believe but the rumor comes from a trusted reporter and the logic reported is exactly what one would say if one was looking to move him. We discuss how the DH position across baseball has underproduced what one would expect for a role that is just to hit. This leads one to wonder if maybe his old team which has pitching depth could come calling. We also watch as the Guardians load the bases yet again and make the curious choice to let one of the worst hitters statically this year hit with the game on the line.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It's Game 127 of the 2021 Season and Cleveland Indians lose in extras to the Boston Red Sox 5-3. On today's show we're talking about the Indians not getting the big hit late in the game, Eovaldi and Quantrill dueling early, Karinchak getting sent down, and naming our MVP for the Day (I forgot again, I think it's always on the losses, let's go with Quantrill).

We talk about the top of the lineup doing damage.

1 We talk a little more about the Cesar Hernandez trade and get new cohost Caleb Phillips thoughts on it. Then we dig into the most contentious deal from last week the trade of Eddie Rosario, explaining why it was a good trade even though the gut reaction for me is to be upset since it was entirely money-based.2 Next we dig into the Trades that sent out Jordan Luplow and Phil Maton, and why the return of Myles Straw and Peyton Battenfield were good returns. We really dig into Myles Straw a player on the podcast I have talked about how the Indians should try and acquire him for two years now.3 We end with a talk about the weird weekend in Chicago. We talk more about the beanings, Karinchak's struggles, and Straw's homerun. We also dig a little into the top relief prospect for the Indians a pitcher in AA who Caleb has seen many times this year.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Then we dig into the most contentious deal from last week the trade of Eddie Rosario, explaining why it was a good trade even though the gut reaction for me is to be upset since it was entirely money-based. 2 Next we dig into the Trades that sent out Jordan Luplow and Phil Maton, and why the return of Myles Straw and Peyton Battenfield were good returns. We really dig into Myles Straw a player on the podcast I have talked about how the Indians should try and acquire him for two years now. 3 We end with a talk about the weird weekend in Chicago. We talk more about the beanings, Karinchak's struggles, and Straw's homerun. We also dig a little into the top relief prospect for the Indians a pitcher in AA who Caleb has seen many times this year.
