They discuss the front office's confidence in the current roster and how these changes might impact players like Rhys Hoskins and Kyle Manzardo. The conversation also explores ownership's willingness to spend and the team's position in the American League playoff race. 01:00 - Intro and Guest Preview 01:18 - Guardians Trade Deadline Analysis 03:51 - Ownership and Front Office Strategy 05:12 - Lineup Shifts and Platoon Impact 12:57 - Roster Depth and Future Moves

Jeff Phelps and Jake Vulinec analyze the Cleveland Guardians' offensive struggles and the team's strategy heading into the trade deadline.

Jeff Phelps and Jake Vulinec discuss the Cleveland Guardians' outlook as the MLB trade deadline approaches and the start of padded practices at Browns training camp.

Plus, they weigh in on the team's trade deadline strategy, first-base production struggles between Kyle Manzardo and Rhys Hoskins, and what it will take for Cleveland to win the AL Central.

Plus, they weigh in on the team's trade deadline strategy, first-base production struggles between Kyle Manzardo and Rhys Hoskins, and what it will take for Cleveland to win the AL Central.

Matt Dery joins Ken and Anthony to push back on the running bit that Angel Martinez and Jose Ramirez returning count as the Guardians' trade deadline moves, arguing the team genuinely needs another bat given Kyle Manzardo and Rhys Hoskins' inconsistency at first base and Gabriel Arias' shaky production. He credits the club for staying at 54-50 despite losing three of its best hitters for stretches, but calls Wednesday's 0-for-17 with runners in scoring position performance a symbol of a season full of near-misses, including the sloppy loss that wasted Gavin Williams' gem. Dery also notes Steven Kwan looks like himself again at the plate over the last few weeks and floats sending Manzardo down to Columbus to reset.

Ken and Anthony break down the Guardians' four-homer beatdown of the Pirates, with Rhys Hoskins going deep twice to silence critics calling for him to be DFA'd. From there the show pivots to LeBron's still-unresolved free agency, now three weeks old, with Ken firing back at the afternoon show for mocking how often he brings it up. Rich Paul's comments on the Game Over podcast get dissected for clues on timing, with training camp roughly 70 days away. Ken makes his case that patience is wearing thin and the longer this drags on, the worse it looks if LeBron doesn't pick Cleveland.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze the Cleveland Guardians' recent scoring surge and debate whether Rhys Hoskins has redeemed himself. They dive into the ongoing LeBron James free agency watch, questioning if the delay in his decision suggests Cleveland is merely a secondary option. The conversation also features an interview with Cam Justice regarding the high-stakes quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. 02:52 - Guardians Home Run Barrage 07:15 - Standings And Run Differential 12:45 - LeBron Decision Watch Frustrations 22:30 - Rich Paul Podcast Reaction 31:05 - Shedeur Sanders Brand Debate 41:45 - Online Fan Base Sensitivity 50:50 - Mahomes Vs Sanders Comparison 57:15 - Deshawn Quarterback Debate Call 01:14:05 - About Last Night Recap 01:19:45 - Ryan Clark ESPN Firing 01:26:15 - College Football Playoff Shifts 01:32:00 - Transfer Portal Reality Check 01:36:50 - Cam Justice Browns Interview 01:44:30 - Future Quarterback Draft Plans 01:55:15 - Sanders Vs Watson Comparison 02:03:25 - Cleveland As LeBron Fallback 02:14:50 - Miami Heat Odds Shift 02:24:55 - LeBron Legacy And Retirement 02:36:40 - Fans Prefer Shedeur Sanders

The show breaks down the Guardians' 13-4 blowout of the Twins, a seven-homer outburst including two from Rhys Hoskins, sparking a debate between Ken and producer John over whether one big game actually "redeems" a player who's still hitting under .200 for the season. The conversation shifts to Ryan Clark's on-air firing from ESPN, with the hosts calling the timing classless and debating whether an old comment about non-players not deserving a voice in sports media contributed to the fallout. They also dig into SEC commissioner Greg Sankey's comments about a possible breakaway from the NCAA, with Ken relishing the idea of the SEC losing ground to the Big Ten. The segment ends with a reflective moment on whether years of NIL and playoff expansion have made college football harder to love.

Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin recap the Cleveland Guardians' dominant 13-run performance against the Minnesota Twins, which featured a franchise-tying seven home runs. The discussion highlights Petey Halpin's multi-homer night and Rhys Hoskins' analysis of the team's approach against pitcher Joe Ryan, while evaluating the roster's future offensive potential. 01:00 - Guardians Offensive Explosion 04:06 - Rhys Hoskins Fastball Approach 08:11 - Evaluating Guardians Roster Depth

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to left wrist inflammation, marking his third stint on the shelf this season. Corey Pieper breaks down a frantic wave of injury updates, an incredible single-game home run barrage in Cleveland, high-leverage late-inning bullpen roles, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The transaction wire continues to move at a relentless pace across Major League Baseball. On the health front, Bobby Witt Jr. was forced to exit Monday's contest early with lingering back tightness, Miguel Andujar hits the injured list with a wrist fracture, and Max Meyer lands on the IL with a neck strain. Additionally, top catchers and outfielders are banged up as Kyle Teel manages an ankle injury, Kerry Carpenter is sidelined with a heel bruise, and Trevor McDonald was removed from his start due to an undisclosed injury. On the positive side of roster moves, Ronel Blanco has officially been activated, Ranger Suarez is set to return to the mound today, and Gleyber Torres is officially back in active lineups. On the diamond, the Cleveland offense staged an absolute power showcase by smashing seven home runs in a single game, driven by multi-homer performances from Rhys Hoskins and Petey Halpin alongside long balls from Travis Bazzana, Brayan Rocchio, and Patrick Bailey. Cal Raleigh broke his game open with a grand slam, while Yordan Alvarez, Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, Jeremy Peña, Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, Esmerlyn Valdez, Ty France, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Caleb Durbin, Cooper Pratt, Victor Robles, and Dillon Dingler all turned in big days at the plate. Pitching highlights featured sharp outings from Bryce Elder, Nick Martinez dueling Dylan Cease, Andrew Abbott facing George Kirby, and Kyle Leahy battling Jose Soriano. Conversely, several high-profile stars cratered into the duds section, with Joe Ryan, Cristopher Sanchez, Emmett Sheehan, Freddy Peralta, Jacob Misiorowski, and Jacob deGrom all taking heavy damage on the hill, while Brandon Lowe, Kyle Schwarber, Braxton Ashcraft, Ryan Weathers, and Ivan Herrera posted quiet, empty nights. Our rotating Bullpen Report zeroes in on late-inning situations around the league, breaking down Aroldis Chapman remaining in Boston, Alex Lange carving out leverage in Kansas City, the dual usage of Tyler Wells and Andrew Kittredge in Baltimore, a crowd of options in Chicago featuring Grant Taylor, Sean Newcomb, and Seranthony Dominguez, Edwin Diaz nearing a potential weekend return for the Dodgers, Mason Montgomery rising in Pittsburgh, and the unsettled hierarchy in San Francisco.

Hour 3 of Baskin and Phelps

Andy talks about his behind the scenes looks at the fireworks at Progressive Field and the guys talk about Rhys Hoskins' home runs and whether or not that means the Guardians should keep him at the trade deadline.

Justin Lada of Locked On Guardians joins Ken and Anthony to argue against trading a hot-hitting Steven Kwan, noting there's no real replacement and the return wouldn't be worth it with Jose Ramirez and Angel Martinez set to return. He explains the offense has grown passive and pressed at the plate, and identifies bullpen help as the deadline priority, pointing to internal options like Yoramon Gomez as potential converts if a trade market doesn't materialize. Lada also weighs in on Francisco Lindor speculation, saying he'd welcome a reunion if money weren't an issue, and calls for an upgrade over Rhys Hoskins given Ty France's stronger production elsewhere. He closes by praising Brayan Rocchio's improved contact and confidence, though he's skeptical the hot stretch fully sustains.

Well that's that...we can all go back to not caring about soccer until the next World Cup. The USA really blew it against those Belgium waffles, gang, and the Let's Go to the Phones boys break down the game in a professional and skillful manner that certainly doesn't devolve into silly name calling or childish insults. They spend the rest of the episode talking about celebrity chefs, batting cages, and this heat.

The Knicks are your 2025 NBA champions...give me a break. The Let's Go to the Phones boys discuss the current discourse about if Philadelphia fans should be happy for the Knicks (no, they shouldn't) and if the Knicks play "Villanova basketball" (who cares). Honestly, Knicks fans only deserve pain and misfortune in their lives, so no, nobody outside of New York should be happy they won. Not that we're salty. The boys delve into the World Cup, the Phillies, and a possible rift between Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) discuss how to use a variety of batted ball metrics. They start by talking about how average exit velocity can be deceptive, and isn't the best way to evaluate how hard hitters hit the ball. Instead, they pivot to talking about HardHit% and get into power stats such as max exit velocity and 90th percentile exit velocity. Then, they move into batted ball metrics that go beyond just how hard the ball is hit, such as Air EV (line drives and flyballs) and barrel rate. Kyle also touches on why PullAir% is an important stat that influences power outside of exit velocity. They wrap up by bringing it all together in xwOBACON, a one stat that measures everything on batted balls.

With Spring Training games in full swing, baseball fans are starting to get familiar with the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system. Although ABS isn't brand new to baseball, as it's been used in the minor leagues for a few seasons, it will be new to the majors in 2026 — so now is the time to learn all about it.
