The Cleveland Guardians aren't playing baseball, so instead the focus is on the most important event for the future of the Guardians franchise. The MLB Draft is one month from today. So we do a 30-pick mock, explaining what we have heard and what we expect based on history and rumors.   The Guardians are in first place but in a month will have a new top prospect in their system due to winning the lottery. We discuss what things might be changing as well as why signing a player under slot is like trading down and not a sign of cheapness. We also explain why trying to save money to spend later is the wrong move for the Guardians especially when one looks at the other times they attempted it.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Tanner Bibee was dominating the Reds through five innings. Jeimer Candelario's two swings were the only marks on his line, and unfortunately was the Guardians downfall in game two of the Ohio Cup against the Reds.     The Guardians had some bad luck and some failures with runners in scoring position.   We break down the two games including the quasi-pitchers dual between Tanner Bibee and Nick Lodolo in a crossover episode with Jeff Carr of  @LockedOnReds     We also discuss what these two teams look like as we head into the heat of the summer, as well as what they will do at 1-2 in the draft.     Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Reds Spoil Tanner Bibee's Gem in Two Swings, Ohio Cup Tied - Locked On Guardians/Reds Crossover

The Guardian defeated the Reds to take game 1 of the Ohio Cup this year, and more importantly, stretched their AL Central lead to 5.5 games as the Royals lost.   We discuss how Tyler Freeman saved the same not once, but twice in back-to-back plays in the first inning and why Cleveland can focus on upgrading other spots thanks to him.   We also get into why bullpen usage isn't as much of a concern as it was before thanks to the pitchers' efficiency like we saw in this game.     And we had some questions about why we always reference the Cape Cod League and what that all means, so we explained that and why it matters.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
