Locked On Indians

Can Bo Naylor finally have a breakout season for the Cleveland Guardians we have been waiting for, or will his streaky offense and defensive lapses force a shift in the lineup? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis debate Naylor's potential, analyze his September surges, and compare his skillset to other MLB catchers like Cal Raleigh and Adley Rutschman. The show dives into his framing metrics, game-calling, and whether the Guardians’ emphasis on defensive over offense hurts their lineup. We also debate David Fry and Austin Hedges' roles behind the plate and whether prospects like Cooper Ingle and Jacob Cozart offer a brighter future for Cleveland.   00:00 Spring Training, Catcher Convos, Updates06:29 Streaky Catcher Performance Discussion07:50 Bo Naylor: Glove Over Bat13:36 Naylor's Crucial Season16:24 David Fry's Catching Role Importance19:15 Maximizing Defense at Catcher27:29 Cooper Ingle Prospect Decline30:52 Power and Arms Define Catchers32:36 Cozart's Struggles and Red Flags Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an epi
