Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

We go over three sim games one awesome the others well not so much. Then it is time to deep dive on the 1948 Indians a team that had a lot of history, and firsts, beyond just winning it all. There were players here who would still be there in 54, but the top two arms stood out as the driving force for the Indians way back when they last won a World Series when I was negative 33.

Due to a glitch we have to redo the Monday sim, with much worse results. The Bullpen is already an issue for the Indians who fall to 2-3, all three losses coming thanks to the pen this year. We take a look at the other trade that happened on the day of the Eck deal, this time the Indians did well but paid a curiously high price for an older pitcher. This was sadly a hallmark of the Hart era, which lead to 90s Indians window closing so quickly. We then look at the 1966 draft, which saw the first Ohioan sign, the first Clevelander sign, and the first Ohio State player sign with the Cleveland Indians.

We finally have more news on the daft, and it all just makes me sick. We talk about the changes, why it could hurt baseball long term, and hurt teams with high picks this year. We talk about the minor roster moves the Indians made and why they are not as nefarious as I thought at first. Then we dig into the sim of the weekend games. We talk about what I am seeing in terms of issues in the sim, fun with fiances, and concerns with the pen. Upside is Carlos Santana has four home runs through three games!!!

We talk about the draft news, which stink and about the Indians off roster moves both in terms of timing and who they sent down. Then I take over as GM of the Indians there is the good, Lindor signed a five year extension, and the bad my lack of skills with commentary. But stick with me, and through this year, I will get better through practice. It is 22 degrees for opening day as Shane Bieber and Matt Boyd meet up. The Indians get a back home run in the game, but do they win listen in to find out.

We look at some news. We talk about how Manfred is way off if he thinks baseball can be back in May. Then we go into more draft talk, as there has been more talk and debate. We dig deep into the numbers to show why the owners are fine, and why the draft should happen soon. This is the perfect chance for baseball to be at the epicenter of the sports world. At a time when people are desperate for sports, instead they are going to to try and save 400 million dollars. Rather than try and raise baseball's overall profile.

There were a pair of massive deals in Indians history that occured on March 25th. We look at both deals, talk about the long term outcomes of each. We also look at a rumored deal from the time, and how that one deal could have made the difference between winning the 1997 World Series or not. These three deals interconnect and actually end up relating back to each other. So tune in for some history and some games of What-IF.
