1 hour 2 minutes

Highlights:

Cleveland sports had a wild week, with dramatic Guardians wins and unexpectedly large home crowds.

Jose Ramirez’s playoff consistency contrasts with Francisco Lindor’s limited postseason success since joining the Mets.

Jose’s commitment to Cleveland shows in his extension and emotional postgame celebration declaring “This is my home.”

Terry Francona’s magic continues with the Reds, despite their lack of standout stats or star players.

Stephen Vogt’s appeal to fans shows his understanding of Cleveland’s working-class culture and school-night realities.

Guardians pulled off a historic comeback, overcoming a 15.5-game deficit to win the division.

The team’s resilience recalls the 1914 Boston Braves, who rallied from 15 games back to win.

Guardians starters had a streak of 19 games allowing two or fewer runs, a rare achievement.

Baseball’s unpredictability and “never over until it’s over” nature make it a unique test of faith.

Progressive Field’s renovations helped attract younger fans, blending tradition with modern fan experiences.

Guardians reached 2 million in attendance for back-to-back years, a milestone for a small-market team.

Chase DeLauter joins the playoff taxi squad, signaling potential late-season impact if needed.

Aidan Hutchinson was left in one-on-one matchups 17 times against Browns swing tackle Cornelius Lucas?.

Quinshon Judkins and Harold Fannin Jr. were praised for their impact, especially Judkins’ ability to turn short gains into longer runs.

Only one solid performance in four games; a touchdown was allowed on special teams against Detroit.

There’s reluctance to reintegrate Watson despite his eligibility to return, with comparisons to awkward social encounters.

Both hosts agreed that starting Gabriel wouldn’t solve deeper offensive issues and could expose him to unnecessary risk.

Lonzo Ball expressed surprise that Cleveland had water (Lake Erie), highlighting how little some players know about the city before arriving.

Cavs media day injury updates on Darius Garland and Max Strus.

Uniform Talk: Mixed reactions to the Browns’ “Alpha Dawg” uniforms. Some fans loved them, others (including Terry) did not.
