How Do the Guardians Close the Huge Gap Between Them and the Dodgers?
08/25/23 • 33 min
1 Listener
The series with the Dodgers showed that the Guardians have a long way to go to close the gap of who they are and who they should aspire to be. We talk about the differences between the two teams and how the Guardians can try to be more like the Dodgers (even though the two will never have similar payrolls). We also get into Brayan Rocchio's demotion and struggles, the backup catcher situation and then why the Guardians do not need to claim Francisco Mejia.

End of an Era? Is Terry Francona Ending his Run? Cleveland Guardians and Los Angeles Dodgers Rainout
After Terry Francona's statements a day ago, we got even more information that all seems to point to this being the last year for the all-time winningest manager in franchise history. He ran the ship for the fourth-best run in franchise history, which never bottomed out, and outside of one year managed to contend into the summer every season. We get into the partial game, the reset, and the roster changes that might be needed. Then we get into prospect chatter, just scouting stat lines and appreciating just how dominant Johnathan Rodriguez has been in the minors this year and why he is changing my mind.
