Locked On Indians

The Guardians swept the Cubs on the back of Alex Cobb and Andres Gimenez. Today's episode talks about the importance of the impressive performance by Alex Cobb, a trade that has looked like it might have been a savvy one, and how the Guardians were able to win without using their big three in the bullpen with an off-day today. We also touch on how every time this team shows any sort of flaw or crack, they find a way to bounce back and remain on top of the division and have the best record in baseball. We also discuss how much different this lineup looks when Andres Gimenez is hitting like he has been as well as what the Guardians may need to do at shortstop.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IbottaIbotta is a free app that lets you earn cash back every time you shop.

With four straight wins, the Guardians have the best record in baseball again after a 2-1 win led by strong pitching from Matthew Boyd, as everyone expected back in spring training. Today's show discusses the unbelievable brilliance of Boyd and why it's important to remember this team's penchant for pitching even in the face of an injury-filled/inconsistent year. We also get into Jhonkensy Noel's recent heater and how the Guardians should handle his role right now and how that ties into David Fry's situation right now. And we also touch on the impressive feat by Emmanuel Clase to pitch, dominantly, for a fourth straight game, and how Pedro Avila has also emerged as a reliable arm for the time being. Finally, we do get to the recent minor league promotions in the Guardians system including Ralphy Velazquez, Cooper Ingle, and other big names.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IbottaIbotta is a free app that lets you earn cash back every time you shop.

The Guardians have won three straight, but it didn't come without some drama as Emmanuel Clase and the offense had to come to the rescue to salvage what should have been an easy win. Today's episode dives into the dominant season Emmanuel Clase is having, the drama that unfolded that forced him into action in Monday's win, as well as the offense doing its part. We spend a hefty portion of the show discussing how the Guardians need to re-work their bullpen to help get it back to being deep enough to carry the rotation. We also discuss the Guardians need to balance out their offense with another left-handed hitter and how to get there. For your next listen, check out the Locked On MLB podcast.

The Guardians pitched well enough and got enough timely hitting to earn a series split vs. the Twins after a tough week. More importantly, they now hold the season tiebreaker against the Twins. Does that do enough to get the Guardians back on track? Today's episode talks about the potential of having Gavin Williams and Tanner Bibee back-to-back setting things up for them, the Guardians debut of Alex Cobb, and how the rotation could look by adding Matt Boyd to it. We also get into whether or not managerial ejections actually mean anything to do anything for a team, following Stephen Vogt's first managerial ejection after a weak-looking balk call on Tim Herrin. Finally, we cover some bullpen spots that have been recently shaky and what that could mean for upcoming roster moves. For your next listen, check out the Locked On MLB podcast.

It is another off-day for the Cleveland Guardians. So instead we focus on the upcoming series between the Cleveland Guardians and the Minnesota Twins. We get into where Cleveland has some advantages and disadvantages in what should be a very tight series for two excellent teams. We dig into minor league numbers to talk about who has been performing well, who we need to pay more attention to, and what guys beyond the usual suspects stand out stat-wise. Then we end with giving some time to some players who were let go while also going into how the 2022 class has turned into one of the weirdest classes we have ever seen.    Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Liquid IV No more thirsty summers when you indulge in hydration with Liquid I.V.

The Guardians bullpen has been the best in baseball all year but a tough night cost them a game they should have won on Monday. Today's episode talks about the gutsy performance from Logan Allen that could have gone the other way very quickly and tanked the game completely but ended up being good enough for them to win. We get into just how good and dominant this bullpen is overall and why losses like this hurt more because of it. Also on today's show, we discuss how the Guardians look to have avoided this being a trap series for them and how they will need to bounce back quickly on Tuesday.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

The Guardians split the four-game set with the Orioles to earn the tiebreaker should the two be tied for best record at the end of the season? Mission accomplished for this series or more left to be desired? Today's episode discusses if the split was enough and how the Guardians handled their pitching on games three and four in this series. Jeff has a theory about how the player to be named later will work out in the Alex Cobb trade. And we also discuss the Guardians pitching plan for the week with Alex Cobb joining the rotation, Matt Boyd making another rehab start, and if the Arizona series ahead of a big series in Minnesota this weekend is a bit of a 'trap' series for them. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

Guardians trade deadline acquisition Lane Thomas sparked the Guardians to a blowout win over the Orioles to start a big series, against one of the Orioles deadline acquisition Trevor Rogers. Today's episode looks at Thomas' hot start and how good of a fit he looks in the #2 spot in the order. We also get into the news about Tanner Bibee missing his start this weekend and how it doesn't seem like a big deal at the moment. We talk about how fast Travis Bazzana needs to move through the system in order to have a chance at a September callup.   We also get into the weirdness of the Erick Fedde trade and why he didn't end up in Cleveland (or Minnesota). And finally, we give some former Guardians prospects their due after being cut recently from the organization.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

MLB's trade deadline is over. The Guardians added Alex Cobb hours in a trade with the Giants just a few hours before the deadline. In addition to trading for Lane Thomas, did the Guardian do enough to give them a chance to compete in the postseason?   We discuss that and if the Guardians gave up too much for an injured starter in Cobb, how will this roster look now that the deadline is over, and who else could impact this team from the minor?   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

The Guardians traded for Lane Thomas from the Nationals in exchange for LHP Alex Clemmey, INF Rafael Ramirez Jr., and INF Jose Tena. How do we think we the Guardians did and do we think they're going to do more at the MLB trade deadline? Meanwhile, the Guardians beat up on the Tigers who pulled Jack Flaherty before his start.

The Guardians have struggled in July, yet won a series against the Phillies this weekend, the best team in baseball. Today's episode covers how the Guardians pulled out this series win, how aggressive Stephen Vogt with the bullpen Sunday to win this game, and how Cade Smith is the current Andrew Miller for Cleveland. We also quickly get into Joey Cantillo's debut and why they went in this direction for the game. We spend a lot of time in this episode reacting to the trades that have already happened, why Cleveland didn't make any of them, and we list some targets and why Cleveland hasn't been involved in many rumors, and why that doesn't mean they won't do anything. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

The MLB trading deadline is upon us.

The Guardians pulled off a close 2-1 win over the Tigers that seemed like an ordinary win in the box score. Today's episode gets into why it was anything but ordinary after losing Tanner Bibee to a leg cramp while he was cruising, and the bullpen had to step in yet again while the offense did just enough to pick up a win. We also talk about Bo Naylor's underrated night in the win. Justin floats an idea about the reverse of showcases Brayan Rocchio amidst the weird saga with him, and then actually sort of posturing to showcase Juan Brito in a trade. More importantly, we touch on why it would be a bad idea for the Guardians to trade a reliever right now and why we think it doesn't make sense. And we also discuss why it's OK to trade prospects at the deadline, because history across the league and Cleveland's history shows it will be fine. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!SupplyHouseSupplyHouse.com is the reliable way to get parts fast.

The Guardians stopped their three-game losing streak with three homers and solid pitching against the Tigers. Today's episode talks about this team's rare ability to avoid long-losing streaks despite the one thing that usually is the main ingredient. We also discuss that despite the recent struggles, the Guardians have the biggest division lead in the American League and remain tied for the best record in the AL, which should really put the onus on the front office to be aggressive at the deadline. Also on today's show:- Why Xzavion Curry made this start and not Logan Allen- Pitching prospect risers in the system this year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!SupplyHouseSupplyHouse.com is the reliable way to get parts fast.

Despite 12 hits against the Tigers and Tarik Skubal, the Guardians offense struggled to score runs in another loss. Today's episode talks about why the Guardians aren't panicking despite the recent struggles and why you're not seeing any yelling or anger from the team. We also dive into why it's time for the team to make a change at shortstop and why it's hard to try to continue to try to develop young players at the major league level and win. And we also get into which players would make sense for the Guardians to make a change at shortstop and why it makes sense now.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!SupplyHouseSupplyHouse.com is the reliable way to get parts fast.

Travis Bazzana's signing bonus and contract with the Cleveland Guardians is signed in ink and on the books. Today's episode asks if this is the most hyped Guardians prospect we've ever seen and why he just might be. We also discuss why we think Bazzana has a chance to be with the Guardians in September.   We also look at some of the recent pitching performances in the minors and if there is any help on the way for this rotation outside of the trade deadline hopes.   At the end of the episode, we get into the Guardians offense and if it's a "rookie" or young player wall, a slump, or if the Guardians should be in "fix" mode for the offense given their positioning, which we'll get into more on Tuesday's show.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!SupplyHouseSupplyHouse.com is the reliable way to get parts fast.
