  • Do Better

    This show fell off worse than the Guards’ offensive production. These guys previously provided actual insight but it’s devolved into repackaging the shrieking and whining you can very easily find elsewhere online. The current product is as informative as a drive time show on ESPN 850, except somehow less entertaining and enjoyable.

Powerful Petey Halpin Launches Bat, Lifts Guardians in Game 3: ALCS REACTION
Q: How big was Game 3 in turning the series?
The hosts note that teams winning Game 3 of a tied best-of-seven series have historically won 69.6% of the time. Cleveland's 2-1 lead and two remaining home games put it in a favorable position, though the outcome was not guaranteed.
Powerful Petey Halpin Launches Bat, Lifts Guardians in Game 3: ALCS REACTION
Q: How much did Gavin Williams's early exit come down to gamesmanship, the rain, and monitoring how he felt, and how did your opinion change after he was lifted in the fifth inning after 70 pitches?
Williams had worked through an unusual workload, and Cleveland monitored his condition. His velocity declined in the fifth, validating the cautious approach, while the matchup and a ready reliever made the change effective. The shorter outing also left him available for a possible Game 7.
