How Will the Guardians Balance Evaluating Young Players and Making Upgrades While Contending?

The Cleveland Guardians rocked the Toronto Blue Jays with a sweep as DJ Diesel rocked Progressive Field Saturday night. Could a return trip by the big man be coming as promised in October? Today's show discusses how the Guardians offense has been able to maintain an exciting level and pace as one player heats up when another cools off. Josh Naylor is on a heater again and ready to carry the offense. I also discuss why I was wrong last year and this about Daniel Schneemann as a prospect and contributor to this Guardians team. Carlos Carrasco had a good weekend while Triston McKenzie did not, so I get into what spot in the rotation do the Guardians need to address most and is the bullpen a spot that would actually make sense to upgrade. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1-800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon. Booking.comThe right stay can make you a fan of any US city - even your rival’s.

On today's show, we discuss why the win against the Mariners could end up affecting the playoffs. We focus on the performances of Will Brennan, Emmanual Clase, Logan Allen, and Andres Gimenez. The win continues to show why this team is legit. They beat a division champ who had won seven of eight before these two losses.   Then we switch to the MLB draft Combine and talk about some players who could appeal to Cleveland. The high spin rate starters Luke Sinnard of Indiana and prep pitcher Cade Townsend. We dig into Joseph Sullivan who hit the ball extremely hard and whose dad was a Heisman trophy in 1971. Then we focus on a 17-year-old catcher who had the hardest hit ball on the entire second day of the combine Nathan Flewlling. Last we focus in on what AA pitchers need to be prompted ASAP, not so much due to their performance even though it has been very good. But due to a pair of older arms in high A who have been spectacular this year and have nothing left to prove.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1-800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon. Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

Power pitching and power hitting powered the Guardians in a bounce-back win vs. the Mariners on Wednesday. Today's episode goes into why the end of Tuesday's game carried into Wednesday's success and win, and why it's important to remember how resilient this team is, and also why not to get too low on losses like Tuesday, and wins like Wednesday. We also got into Tanner Bibee's next step into being this team's ace. And there is a LOT of draft talk going on and a lot of buzz and smoke and rumors at the 1-1 pick for the Guardians. We had a LONG debate breaking down this news and what it means and where we think things are headed for the Guardians. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1-800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon. Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

The Guardians got off to a tough start to a tough stretch of games ahead with a disappointing start from Triston McKenzie and the bullpen had a rare off night to go with it. We get into the issues with Triston McKenzie and the starting pitching as a whole. We discuss why it might pay off to be patient with Gavin Williams right now despite the woes in the major league rotation. Kyle Manzardo was sent down and we debate who needs the next look from Triple-A during this next month of games. And we spend the whole third segment on the most recent MLB Mock draft and the controversy about that potential option, what it means, and what to believe when it comes to that news and noise. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1-800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon. Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

Cooper Ingle, Cleveland Guardians catching prospect, joins the show and discusses why he felt the Guardians were a good fit for him when he got drafted out of Clemson in the fourth round in 2023. Cooper shares some of the adjustments, what he's worked on and improved so far in pro ball, the feeling of winning a division title in Lake County, and getting to know pitchers on a personal level to help be a better receiver. He also shares a fun story about how he ended up playing for Clemson, how he became a Minnesota Vikings fan, and much more. Thanks to Cooper for joining the show on his off day to talk with us. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1-800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon. Stitch FixWith Stitch Fix, you get a Stylist who understands your style, size and budget—they do all the shopping for you!

The Cleveland Guardians aren't playing baseball, so instead the focus is on the most important event for the future of the Guardians franchise. The MLB Draft is one month from today. So we do a 30-pick mock, explaining what we have heard and what we expect based on history and rumors. The Guardians are in first place but in a month will have a new top prospect in their system due to winning the lottery. We discuss what things might be changing as well as why signing a player under slot is like trading down and not a sign of cheapness. We also explain why trying to save money to spend later is the wrong move for the Guardians especially when one looks at the other times they attempted it. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1- 800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon.   LinkedInRight now, you can try LinkedIn Sales Navigator and get a sixty-day free trial at LinkedIn.com/LOCKEDON. PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

Jeimer Candelario's two swings were the only marks on his line, and unfortunately was the Guardians downfall in game two of the Ohio Cup against the Reds.   The Guardians had some bad luck and some failures with runners in scoring position. We break down the two games including the quasi-pitchers dual between Tanner Bibee and Nick Lodolo in a crossover episode with Jeff Carr of  @LockedOnReds   We also discuss what these two teams look like as we head into the heat of the summer, as well as what they will do at 1-2 in the draft.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1- 800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon.   LinkedInRight now, you can try LinkedIn Sales Navigator and get a sixty-day free trial at LinkedIn.com/LOCKEDON. PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

The Guardian defeated the Reds to take game 1 of the Ohio Cup this year, and more importantly, stretched their AL Central lead to 5.5 games as the Royals lost. We discuss how Tyler Freeman saved the same not once, but twice in back-to-back plays in the first inning and why Cleveland can focus on upgrading other spots thanks to him. We also get into why bullpen usage isn't as much of a concern as it was before thanks to the pitchers' efficiency like we saw in this game.   And we had some questions about why we always reference the Cape Cod League and what that all means, so we explained that and why it matters. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1- 800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon.   LinkedInRight now, you can try LinkedIn Sales Navigator and get a sixty-day free trial at LinkedIn.com/LOCKEDON. PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.
