This podcast was recorded in the bottom of the 14th as the Indians would go on to victory. You can hear my concerns as the things looked grim before the Indians pulled it out. It was an odd game, with plenty to talk about outside of just it's length. We talk about the En Fuego Jose Ramirez, the performance by the pen, and some questionable decisions in the top of the 14th. Then we go into details about the trade deadline and look at the Oakland Athletics in particular.

Then we go deep on the Phillies and explain why a Trevor Bauer to the Phillies deal makes no sense.
