Locked On Indians

The Guardians dropped Game 1 of the ALCS to the Yankees in frustrating fashion. This episode digs into Alex Cobb's wobbly start, but mostly the decision to go to Joey Cantillo with the bases loaded for the first time in his career and sticking with him, and how could the game have gone differently with a different decision? We also discuss the pinch-hitting decisions that seemed out of character with their normal decisions to this point. The episode does look for some silver linings as Brayan Rocchio continues to shine, Pedro Avila saved the big bullpen arms and Cleveland forced Luke Weaver in for a five-out save. How do the Guardians bounce back to try to even the series at 1-1? We wrap up the show talking through that. 0:54 Guardians' self-inflicted wounds in ALCS Game 14:27 Decision to go to Cantillo11:14 Guardians' hitters chase issues23:01 Yankees pitching script worked32:13 Adding Avila over Lively and dropping Martinez38:28 How can the Guardians win Game 2? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Booking
