            • Guards Take 4 out of 6 vs. STL/BAL, on to MIN (w/ Tom Metheney)

              The Rockin at the Jake crew reunites to give their thoughts on the Guardians winning back-to-back series for the first time in nearly a month. PLUS, we get into why Tom thinks Shane Bieber is "god awful" but still has enough value to facilitate a trade.

              • After scoring 22 runs in three games against BAL, is the offense finally turning it around?

              • What to Do with All These Prospects? + Fire Tito?

                Matt Milner joins the pod to discuss the continued struggles of the offense and their league-worst OPS. I have Matt play General Manager and have him talk about how he'd maneuver the roster and what his ideal lineup looks like. The pitching is the team's yin and yang; can they keep the team afloat in a weak division? Lastly, I asked Matt his opinions on some calls for Tito to be fired. Agree or not?

              • What Will It Take to Get Some Wins?

                Back from a lengthy absence in which the Guardians look the same, I'm joined by Chuck22 from At the Corner to talk about the many, many ups and downs of the season so far including winning the Angels series with clutch hitting to losing the White Sox series with a lack of any hitting.

                PLUS, we get into missing Austin Hedges and whether or not the Mike Zunino signing is already a bust. Don't miss this talk and more on the pitching staff and when we might be able to see Gavin Williams in a Guardians uniform.

              • Early Season Struggles in Detroit: Concerning or Not?

                DISCLAIMER: we cut in during Matt's appearance due to audio troubles at the start.

                Matt Lyons and I review the underwhelming Detroit series and discuss what we make of the early season struggles from the pitching staff as a whole. Peyton Battenfield has been nice but what about Zach Plesac, James Karinchak, and Emmanuel Clase?

                Also, what's going on with Oscar Gonzalez and his little playing time? Is Will Brennan on his heels?

              • First Week Impressions & Gripes About the Pitch Clock

                Riding solo this week! I take a look back at the Guardians' opening series against Seattle and Oakland and what I see out of both the pitching staff and how the lineup has fared through the first handful of games in 2023.

                Find out what I think of the struggles of Josh Bell and Amed Rosario and why Mike Zunino will be just fine. Lastly, I go on a longer-than-realized rant about the pitch clock and why I'm not a big fan. It might not be the reason you think, but if it is, join the party!

              • 2023 Season Preview (with Zach Martin of The Surge Cast)

                SERIES PREMIERE!

                I'm glad to invite Zach Martin, South Carolina's resident Cleveland Guardians fan, to talk some Guardians baseball as we preview the 2023 season. We get into player extensions, Triston McKenzie's injury timeline, and how the team will fare in his absence, and we already look ahead to potential trade deadline moves. Should the team be buyers or sellers come July?
