The Guardians split the four-game set with the Orioles to earn the tiebreaker should the two be tied for best record at the end of the season? Mission accomplished for this series or more left to be desired?

Today's episode discusses if the split was enough and how the Guardians handled their pitching on games three and four in this series.

Jeff has a theory about how the player to be named later will work out in the Alex Cobb trade.

And we also discuss the Guardians pitching plan for the week with Alex Cobb joining the rotation, Matt Boyd making another rehab start, and if the Arizona series ahead of a big series in Minnesota this weekend is a bit of a 'trap' series for them.

Guardians trade deadline acquisition Lane Thomas sparked the Guardians to a blowout win over the Orioles to start a big series, against one of the Orioles deadline acquisition Trevor Rogers.

Today's episode looks at Thomas' hot start and how good of a fit he looks in the #2 spot in the order. We also get into the news about Tanner Bibee missing his start this weekend and how it doesn't seem like a big deal at the moment.

We talk about how fast Travis Bazzana needs to move through the system in order to have a chance at a September callup.

We also get into the weirdness of the Erick Fedde trade and why he didn't end up in Cleveland (or Minnesota).

And finally, we give some former Guardians prospects their due after being cut recently from the organization.

The Cleveland Guardians were off on Wednesday but now are owners of the best record in MLB. On that subject, today's episode dives into how important it is for the Guardians to earn a first-round bye in MLB's playoff format and with their rotation. We also discuss if the first-round bye is a good thing or a problem.

We start the podcast off by giving some leftover MLB trade deadline thoughts and a theory about this Guardians team and the 2016 version that made the World Series.

And finally, we get into which 2024 draft picks for Cleveland will debut and when, as Travis Bazzana hit a grand slam in his home affiliate debut in Lake County.

MLB's trade deadline is over. The Guardians added Alex Cobb hours in a trade with the Giants just a few hours before the deadline. In addition to trading for Lane Thomas, did the Guardian do enough to give them a chance to compete in the postseason?

We discuss that and if the Guardians gave up too much for an injured starter in Cobb, how will this roster look now that the deadline is over, and who else could impact this team from the minor?

The Guardians traded for Lane Thomas from the Nationals in exchange for LHP Alex Clemmey, INF Rafael Ramirez Jr., and INF Jose Tena. How do we think we the Guardians did and do we think they're going to do more at the MLB trade deadline?

Meanwhile, the Guardians beat up on the Tigers who pulled Jack Flaherty before his start. The offense is looking better lately and they gained a game over the Twins in the process.

The Guardians have struggled in July, yet won a series against the Phillies this weekend, the best team in baseball. Today's episode covers how the Guardians pulled out this series win, how aggressive Stephen Vogt with the bullpen Sunday to win this game, and how Cade Smith is the current Andrew Miller for Cleveland.

We also quickly get into Joey Cantillo's debut and why they went in this direction for the game.

We spend a lot of time in this episode reacting to the trades that have already happened, why Cleveland didn't make any of them, and we list some targets and why Cleveland hasn't been involved in many rumors, and why that doesn't mean they won't do anything.

The MLB trading deadline is upon us. We talk about which teams are following the Guardians minor league system as trade rumors heat up.

For today's show, we asked for your trade proposals to help the Cleveland Guardians address their recent lack of offense and thin starting pitching, and we gave you our feedback on who would accept or say no.

We also discuss weighing the Guardians first three months as an offense vs. one bad month and a strong start by Gavin Williams during the loss to the Tigers.
