Locked On Indians

The Cleveland Guardians Just won't quit and come back from a 5-0 for the second day in a row. This time they finish the job pick up the win and take the series. The Naylor brothers become the fourth pair of brothers to homer in the same inning on National Sibling Day. This team has so much heart, that every game is a blast and this one had three blasts. We get into the team's trade of the day, who is Wes Parson, and why they added him. Then we switch our focus to the Yankees a team that is different yet similar to Cleveland this year in ways you might not expect.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

The Guardians battled back against a 5-0 deficit to the White Sox, but control issues and some weird bounces thwarted a full comeback. We touch on how leadership helped fuel getting the team back in the game quickly, why the Guardians need to get Scott Barlow settled in here soon and why the Guardians also seem to favor left handed hitters for a reason. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

 Shane Bieber is going to miss the rest of 2024 with Tommy John surgery and maybe some of 2025. What do the Guardians do now without their ace? Can they still contend in the AL Central? Should they have traded him before? Will he come back to Cleveland in 2025 as a free agent this winter? How does Stephen Vogt handle this news and his team in the first year as the manager? We try to answer all of these questions in a therapy session of Locked On Guardians. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

Another day, another ace defeated by the Cleveland Guardians. We look at the little things the Guardians did well offensively to beat Pablo Lopez and the Minnesota Twins to spoil their home opener. We look at how Tanner Bibee and the Guardians bullpen used sliders to silence the Twins bats and an emerging high-leverage reliever in Hunter Gaddis. And finally, we look at the rest of the weekend series against the Twins and what to expect the rest of the series. We also make some college baseball-watching recommendations for the weekend related to the MLB Draft. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! RobinhoodRobinhood has the only IRA that gives you a 3% boost on every dollar you contribute when you subscribe to Robinhood Gold.

The Cleveland Guardians are partying like it's 2023. OK...we don't want that, but they are 5-2 in 2024 like the were in 2023 after seven games facing Oakland and Seattle. We touch on how the Guardians first seven games this year are different than a year ago offensively and their balanced offensive approach being the Mariners pair of aces to win the series. We also discuss the apparent conflicting thoughts when watching Shane Bieber pitch well between increasing his trade value and helping the teams win And finally we look ahead to the Twins series ahead. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! RobinhoodRobinhood has the only IRA that gives you a 3% boost on every dollar you contribute when you subscribe to Robinhood Gold.

The Guardians were unable to overcome a rough second inning from Triston McKenzie in a short start. Despite the loss to the Mariners on Monday, there were some positive takeaways. The bullpen navigated well and saved them from a potential move to get a fresh arm up and Stephen Vogt pulled some good levers. The offense had some late life and then on Tuesday, also had some good signs behind another strong start by Shane Bieber. We discuss the level of concern for McKenzie, rehabs, and future moves for Xzavion Curry, Ben Lively, and eventually Sam Hentges and Gavin Williams. We give its bullpen their due and Tyler Freeman having a standout Monday night. We also look at Will Brennan's bad luck and some positive offensive trends for the Guardians. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! RobinhoodRobinhood has the only IRA that gives you a 3% boost on every dollar you contribute when you subscribe to Robinhood Gold.

The Cleveland Guardians continue their west coast trip, which gives us the chance to finish our 2024 position preview series with second base. We took a look back at Andres Gimenez 2022 season and his 2023, to see if the 2024 version will be something in between. We also debated where he ranked on this roster in terms of his importance to the team given his contract, defense, ability to move between second and short if needed, and his all around game. We also discussed second base options in the minors, which is mostly Juan Brito and then hopefully Travis Bazzana, if those two even stick at second base.   And it was a big weekend in college baseball, so we discuss the 1.1 options and performance among Charlie Condon, Travis Bazzana, Braden Montgomery, Nick Kurtz, the absence of JJ Whetherholt, and we dig a little deeper on Ryan Johnson.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! RobinhoodRobinhood has the only IRA that gives you a 3% boost on every dollar you contribute when you subscribe to Robinhood Gold.

After a long wait the Cleveland Guardians 2024 season finally got underway in Oakland. Shane Bieber looked in vintage form early and the offense got off to a good start.We weren't able to record reactions for the full game due to the late start, but we discussed the intrigue of the opening lineup, the platoons and flexibility, but also one hitter who should hit higher. We also discuss the additions of Peter Strzelecki and Zak Kent to their pitching depth and why we think these additions can help in 2024 and maybe beyond. A few Guardians minor leaguers got cut at the end of spring training, so we give them their due as players and wish them some luck. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

As we wait another day for regular season baseball for the Cleveland Guardians, we continue to wrap up our 2024 position preview series with first base. Can Josh Naylor repeat his 2023 success and stay healthy? Will he sign an extension? When will Kyle Manzardo arrive? What other first-base prospects do the Guardians have in the system? Of course, we talk about some of the first base draft prospects in this year's class - Nick Kurtz, Blake Burke, Aiden Harris, Derek Bender, Jac Cagliaone, and more. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

It was a big weekend in college baseball with Travis Bazzana and Charlie Condon making headlines with big games. After not being able to get to it Monday, we give a college baseball/MLB Draft weekend update on the battle for the Guardians top pick as conference play begins.   We also discuss some other good performances over the weekend including Corey Collins, Luke Holman, Kavares Tears, and Brian Holiday. We also get into some more interesting Jac Cagliaone data. And we put our 3rd base position preview for the Guardians into the second half of this episode, because what more can we say about Jose Ramirez other than he's great and how many more great years does he have left? We debate that, talk about the lack of third-base prospects in the system and some potential draft prospects at that position as well.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

Myles Straw was reportedly placed on waivers by the Cleveland Guardians as they set their initial 26 man roster to start the 2024 season. How did the Guardians arrive at this move now and what it mean for Straw and other players like Tyler Freeman and Estevan Florial. Also, is the influence in the clubhouse as much as we previously thought? We also get to why neither Kyle Manzardo and Deyvison De Los Santos didn't make the initial roster. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

Opening Day is just a week away. And while we say it's sort of an artificial deadline, it does have some effect on roster decisions leading up to the announcement of the Opening Day roster. Birthday boy today, Carlos Carrasco, has an opt out in his contract for this weekend and Tyler Beede is able to opt out if he's told he's not on the Opening Day roster. What will the decision be for those two arms with Cleveland's current injury situation? We also discuss not overhyping spring training performances and taking stats too seriously, and that includes everyone's prospect fixation, Chase DeLauter. Also discussed is the Twins recent pitching injury news, Guardians minor league injury news, and some recent cuts from the minor league roster in Cleveland's system of significance.     FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

We've talked a lot about the Cleveland Guardians bullpen over the last week because of the injuries to Trevor Stephan, James Karinchak and Sam Hentges. How will those injuries impact the Guardians bullpen in 2024? We discuss that in our position preview of the bullpen. Will Clase and Scott Barlow finish the year in the Guardians bullpen? Will Cleveland reduce Clase's workload? Can Eli Morgan have a better second half? Who will step up into a high leverage role? Will Franco Aleman or Andrew Walters debut first? Which other prospect relievers should you keep an eye on in the Guardians system and in the draft this year? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! IbottaRight now, Ibotta is offering our listeners $5 for just trying Ibotta by using code LOCKEDONMLB.

While we're waiting on the news about Sam Hentges' finger, we wonder if his Opening Day status will also be in doubt, and we also talk about why Opening Day isn't a real deadline, and the sky isn't falling yet. In that same vein, we also talk about a Guardians relief prospect that could be emerging quicker than we previously thought. Shane Bieber went 5.2 innings in this latest outing, and with that timing, does it look like we are getting closer to Stephen Vogt naming him the opening day starter. We also talk about the lack of promotion about the Guardians spring breakout game over the weekend, and a brief college baseball/MLB Draft weekend update. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! IbottaRight now, Ibotta is offering our listeners $5 for just trying Ibotta by using code LOCKEDONMLB.
