Ep. 101: The Indians are out, the Browns are up -- the future for both teams

The Cleveland Indians are done after a third straight playoff appearance, and the Cleveland Browns actually have some people thinking about the playoffs after a 2-2-1 start.

So what's next for both teams - next season and next Sunday?

On this Takes By The Lake podcast, Doug Lesmerises dipped into two teams and enlisted the help of three guests.

First, our two voices on the Indians:

• Steven Kubitza writes about the Indians at belivelandball.com and joined to discuss what happened in the sweep at the hands of the Houston Astros in the American League Division Series and how many more championship contention seasons this Indians core has left.

• Joe Coblitz writes about the Indians and their minor league system at burningriverbaseball.com and he joined to discuss what minor leaguers are on the horizon for the Indians and the best way for the front office to use its minor league system to try to win in the next few years.

Then we hit the Browns with an old friend:

• Jake Burns is all over the web as a film breakdown expert on the Browns, with his work appearing on The Orange and Brown Report, as well as on Twitter. And now Jake is working with cleveland.com, providing a film breakdown once a week right on this site.

Make sure you check on his piece this week, and don't miss him each week at cleveland.com.
