Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

1) Discussing Sunday's game, with a focus on Triston McKenzie and his nearly historic outing. We took a little about the offensive performance but are mostly focused on the stellar showing of Triston McKenzie.

2) We dug into the big win on Friday, Zach Plesac might have had his best outing of the year and Ernie Clement had maybe the most unlikely two home run game in baseball history.

3) We end with a talk about the Saturday loss and how Sam Hentges' struggles might have him on the outs when the season ends.

1) We talk about maybe the worst loss of the year against Oakland and try to find things to praise in a game that was to put it nicely a dumpster fire. We also talk about how more than ever it is time to focus on 2022

2) Discuss the possible return of Bieber and Civale, what it might mean for the Indians this year and next. Time, tables, etc. for what both players long with how the rotation should look and check in on the likely innings limit for Triston McKenzie. 

3) Spending time around the minors where Akron hit five home runs in one game, Konnor Pilkington had another strong start, and Battenfield debuted along with Jhonkesky Noel's quest to hit 400 in Lynchburg

1) We dig into another win for the Indians, and my correct pick streak ends with the big win. We talk about all the top performers and take a moment to talk about the newest addition Francisco Perez and also to talk about the hypocrisy online I see when it comes to Bradley Zimmer, who has the 5th best runs created of any Indians hitter this year

2) Stats were circulating that Jose Ramirez is struggling, we dig into this show how he has been unlucky, but also where he is excelling and where he is scuffling. We also take some time to highlight favorite sleeper prospect Cody Morris who had another dominant outing and could see time in Cleveland this year

3) We dig into the Indians and Athletics series and find out that while the pitching favors the Athletics in terms of the lineup the Indians might have a slight advantage

3) We continue talking about arms this time from Akron that are making waves and performing well including Francisco Perez who might help the Indians this year, and Tyler Freeman the top prospect who has been reportedly shut down for the year

1) We dig into the loss, one sadly predicted earlier in the week. It was a great performance by Triston McKenzie. We dig into the advanced stats on Bobby Bradley and also make a case for why it is time to move on from Harold Ramirez and see what Nolan Jones can do.

2) Preview of the Tigers series, which has one of my favorite young cores in the game. There will be a lot of, rightful, Eric Haase talks this weekend. A player who had 34 plate appearances in Cleveland before he was let go. We compare the teams and talk about why I pick the Indians to win this series.

3) Talking about AAA, players performing and who I think will be up over the next few months, and settling on who I would like to see up with the Tribe very soon

1) We talk a little about the loss, before we dig into Zach Plesac and what has changed for him this year. He is not a guy who was a spin rate guy, so it mostly boils down to last year he missed bats this year he hasn't. We answer the question if the Indians should trade him, and give him a comp to a former Indian

2) We dig deeper into the loss talking about the good, the bad, and the unfortunate

3) Talking about some of the moves the Indians made in the minors, who got promoted, who to pay attention to, and what it all means. Also talking about the top performers for the Indians minors this year

1) Discussing the draft one more time to explain while most people ripped on the Mets when they should have been focused on the Red Sox, and why the Mets chose not to sign Kumar Rocker, and why they still get a draft pick for it next year

2) Talking about the win. Eli Morgan has not allowed four runs in a game since June and no more than four since his initial start. We dig into all the big performances in this one. We also talk about the wild card standings and why the Blue Jays are a weird team

3) We talk about the Rule 5 crunch again with some new names and a theory on how they might look to consolidate talent

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.
