Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians episodes

June 03, 2022 2022 MLB Draft Big Board 3.0 Players One through 21
We talk about how the Cleveland Guardians did not play today but still moved into second place in the American League Central. Then we dig into my current Big Board for the 2022 MLB Draft. The Guardians have the 16th pick for the first time in franchise history. This draft has a clear top two tiers for me and after that, it is all kind of equal for the next 30 or so players. We discuss each of the top 21 players in this class including a player in the top 10 who I don’t believe is listed there by anyone else. Due to positional value, my boards tend to be very different. Listen in to find out about my approach and why it is I often end up with lists that differ from the consensus view of the draft.

June 02, 2022Cleveland Guardians with the Royal Flush: Sweeping the Royals to the Cellar of all of Baseball
The Cleveland Guardians crush the Kansas City Royals. We go over the stellar start by Konnor Pilkington and the great production from Andres Gimenez, Richie Palacios, Steven Kwan, and Amed Rosario today. The Guardians complete the sweep of the Royals and are now just two games under .500. We also get into the trade that netted the Guardians Pilkington in the first place, and how that trade has had long-reaching effects that continue to hurt the Chicago White Sox to this day.
Next, we discuss why the trade for Pilkington should show why one should have implicit trust in the Guardian's front office when it comes to trades. We discuss why it is that the Guardians and White Sox continue to make sense for a future trade and one should not worry about an inter-division when one follows a team with a front office like the Guardians.
We end with a preview of the Orioles series. The Orioles offense is really starting to come together in large part due to former Guardian’s prospect Anthony Santander. We can’t help but wonder if he might be someone one the Orioles might consider trading. We talk about why this series still favors the Guardians and why these two teams are still perfect trade partners.

June 01, 2022Jose Ramirez is the Player of the Week...Player of the Century
First, it is time to catch up on the Cleveland Guardians' pair of series against the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers. We talk about the great performances by several minor league players who are standing out or succeeding. We also get into the injury report on several minor league players as well. Then we focus on the Detroit games from the weekend. The Guardians had one good one and one bad one that saw them split the series against a team that has one of the worst offenses in baseball.
We continue to catch up talking about the Detroit Tigers series along with starting in on the Kansas City Royals. We also discuss the trade of Yu Chang to the Pirates which saw him traded to this brother's old team and then saw the release of the brother of a prospect in the Guardians system.
We end talking about today’s game and the overall futility that has been the Kansas City Royals rebuild. They seem to have taken the wrong step at every level and now possess the worst record in baseball in what was supposed to be year two of their ascension to contention. We also get into the Guardians' complete dominance over a Royals team that was scared to death of facing Jose Ramirez.

May 27, 2022Detroit Tigers Walk-off the Cleveland Guardians: Oscar Gonzalez makes his debut too
Cleveland Guardians fall to the Detroit Tigers who walk-off win. We see if I am right for the fourth straight game in terms of predictions. We also discuss the three big things I talked about on yesterday's show that all came to occur in the last 24 hours. We talk about the game in progress. It is a tight affair but the defensive issues Josh Naylor had at first base lead to all three runs in this game so far. We also talk about the promotion of Oscar Gonzalez in depth.
Next, we dig more into the roster changes. We talk about why I still believe in Yu Chang and why his being let go was the best thing for him. We also talk about Franmil Reyes and Aaron Civale to the disabled list and the promotion of Konnor Pilkington and Richie Palacios.
We end as the game ends with Miguel Cabrera's walk-off win. Before this we talk about top minor league performers and the names at the top might be a bit surprising. We give some names to watch that have not been talked about as much as they should have been despite stellar early performances.

May 26, 2022Cleveland Guardians Fall to the Houston Astros But Hey At least I was 3 for 3 in my Predictions
We talk about Wednesday’s game as it occurs. We are joining in the 7th and talking about why I would have sent Amed Rosario, why I am annoyed by replay, and why not pinch-hitting for Austin Hedges is a bad decision regardless of the outcome. We also talk about the minor deal of the day which involved Daniel Johnson being traded to the New York Mets. We also dig into the regression of Owen Miller, Andres Gimenez, and Steven Kwan and who has the best numbers in May, and why there is room for concern with the other two. We also explain why it should be time to free Oscar Gonzalez.
We continue to focus on the game and hey the Guardians finally get on the board. We also talk about the Aaron Civale injury which of course had to happen after his first strong start of the year. I also complain about Bryan Shaw allowing him to make me look foolish reverse jinx works.
Lastly we discuss the Royals series even though the Tigers are on deck. We talk about the mess that is the Royals and how despite many high picks they have a shallow minors and a last-place squad. Then I realize the Tigers are the team on deck so I preview the pitching matchups and make predictions for the next two series. The Guardians are facing the teams with the third, fourth, and fifth-worst records; they have to go 7-3 in their next ten against these bad teams to get back to .500.

May 25, 2022Zach Plesac Not Pleasing Guardians Fans as the Cleveland Guardians Lose to the Houston Astros
It's another stream episode as we discuss the Cleveland Guardians and Houston Astros game. We get into the struggles of Zach Plesac and question why he was even in the game in the fifth inning when the game was broken open. Then we discuss the recent promotion of Tim Herrin from AA to AAA and get to know the top left-handed reliever in the Guardians system, a former 29th rounder who misses more bats now than when he was in college.
We continue to focus on the game while also talking about some other top minor league performers including Joey Cantillo who has yet to give up a run in the month of May. While also fielding questions from those watching live.
We end with a discussion of the loss featuring the three stars Jose Ramirez, Enyel De Los Santos, and Ernie Clement.

May 24, 2022 Triston McKenzie, Jose Ramirez, and Luke Maile Power the Cleveland Guardians over Houston Astros
1. We join the Cleveland Guardians and Houston Astros game live in the 7th inning. We go over the dominance and excellence of Triston McKenzie. The continued high-level play of Jose Ramirez. We get into who the three stars of this game have been so far Triston, Jose, and Luke Maile.
2. We continue to track this game focusing on the seventh inning which got a bit wild while we were recording. We talk about Texas Leaguers and how the threat of Jose’s baseball running ability directly led to multiple runs. Also can Josh Naylor please stop getting hit by baseballs the dude is going to shorten my life?
3. We end with more Nick Sandlin discussion as he was brought in for the first time since his loss and still showed the same issues with his command and control. We jump in for the showdown between Sam Hentges and Michael Brantley with a pair of runners on. It is time to see if Sam Hentges can be the top-end reliever he has looked like this year.

May 23, 2022Cleveland Guardians Can't Beat Bad Teams, Split Series Against the Struggling Detroit Tigers
The Cleveland Guardians split a two-game series against the Detroit Tigers after losing two to the Cincinnati Reds. We talk about the win which was the most unlikely game for the Guardians to win over the last four. Tarik Skubal was awesome but the Guardians were able to get to the Tigers bullpen. Aaron Civale was even better though which is not something I expected to type any time soon.
Next, we focus on the second game of the series, a loss for the Guardians against the Tigers led by Alex Faedo. Josh Naylor returned in a big bad way, but sadly the rest of the lineup was lacking despite good performance numbers by Shane Bieber.
Last we end with a preview of the Houston Astros. Despite the Astros' much better record, these teams aren’t necessarily as far apart as expected. The Guardians should be favorites in game one of the series but after that, it might be a long weekend as the Guardians have been scuffling of late.

May 20, 2022Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds Post Series Crossover with Jeff Carr, The Ohio Cup Is Done!
Crossover episode with Jeff Carr of Locked on Reds. We look back at a rough series for the Guardians at home against the Cincinnati Reds. We talk about the series in depth. We focus on what went right, and wrong, and what surprised us both.
First, we discuss what went wrong and right for our teams in this series including Tyler Naquin winning the Frank Robinson MVP for the series.
Next, we talk about the biggest surprises for me. It was the failure of the bullpen for Jeff Carr, it was the success of Connor Overton.
Then we look ahead to where we think these teams' seasons might go and what is on the horizon for both of these squads in the upcoming week.

May 19, 20222022 MLB Mock Draft Picks 1-16, Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians Preview, Prospect Talk TOO
Another game was canceled for the Guardians but luckily they have an off day Thursday so the makeup was easy to move. We preview the upcoming series against the Detroit Tigers, one of the most disappointing teams in baseball so far.
Next, we focus on the lower minors talking about names that were outside the top ten prospects to start the year but have to be under consideration for the top 20 now. There is another wave of pitchers that have gained velocity since the Guardians drafted and signed them.
We end with a 16-pick Mock Draft for the 2022 MLB Draft. I ignore the rooms and focus on the previous history and data to try and figure out what the teams in front of the Guardians might do, and what the Guardians will do with the 16th pick.
