I have a group chat with random dudes that I've met in Guardians Facebook groups and an interesting idea came up during the game last night: what if Vogt uses Cade to get through the opposing team's best hitters, wherever they happen to fall, in the last 2 innings? Then either Gaddis (yikes), Enright, or Sabro can close out the rest vs lesser hitters. You really only need to do that against teams that clearly have huge hitters in the heart of the order like the Mets/Dodgers/Yanks. That's only possible because of what Enright and Sabro have shown so far this year, though.
I’d like to see Bazz promoted to AAA in the next couple weeks.
Great show as always, LoG! Definitely a lot of twists and turns is last night's game. Makes for an exciting Monday night and a great start to a tough series.
Much appreciated on the roster and call up scenarios. Great information there.
There isnt really any reason for Bazzana to not hit triple A this year. I feel like double A is the last big test and he is doing great.
Let him get a month in Columbus and then like Justin said if he comes to spring training hitting well then start him on opening day. A Kwan-Bazzana-Jose top of the lineup could do some damage
I am guessing Will Brennan loses his roster spot?
Well if Braylon Doughty is so good, why is he 0-7… RIDDLE ME THIS GUYS? (Please other commenters, know I am being sarcastic)
Bazzana is a long way from MLB IMO. Keith Law saw him recently and didn't have anything encouraging to say. KLaw doesn't like the swing but is really down on Bazanna at 2B. "I don’t see many middle infielders who are this heavy-footed. "Bazanna is probably going to have to move positions. That means the clock lengthens.
Gattis needs a 10 day DL stint to rest and straighten out mechanics
WDYM stunned them. Guards are a better team.
Who is on Middle infield roster next year between Rocchio, Arias, Baz, Brito (Schnee, Angel)? Do they offer season trade or can all those get enough bats?
Great job, gentlemen. Enjoyed the minors recap. Nice to see Bazzana have a big couple of games.
Do you think there’s ANY chance Baz is in COL by this weekend. Heading to clippers game this weekend and it’d be really awesome to see him play
I have low blood pressure but listening to yesterday‘s game, it didn’t bother me at all 😂
I’m sorry but why would you rather have 10 slightly above average seasons with no rings compared to 1 ring and 9 bad years after. THIS CITY DESERVES A WORLD SERIES. People with your thought process I don’t understand. What about the cavs ring. It’s been 10 years since that and the city of Cleveland will never forget it and will go down as one of the best sports years ever not only to us but to non Cleveland fans as well.
I've been an everyday-er since right before Justin joined on. A week or two ago you mentioned Jeff that you had been following the Cleveland baseball team since Cory Snyder and I wanted to share that the reason I have the name "Cory" is because my parents went to a game and saw him make a catch against the wall (summer 1990) and my mom liked the name
How legitimate is CDL as a centerfielder?
Ignoring numbers?!! Just enjoying?!! 🫡💪💪💪
Arias haters – how you feeling???
Won't Bazanna get more baseball in Akron since they will make the playoffs and Columbus will not. For this reason, I think Bazanna will stay in Akron.
You both talk very highly of Arias and we can see why. I hope he can stay healthy and play keep playing well.
Thanks gents, just listened to this a little late. Loved the 3rd part chat about prospects and promotions – superb 👍
