Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

As if the news on Gavin Williams' elbow and suffering a (hopefully) temporary setback in his comeback wasn't tough enough for the Guardians and their pitching staff, they took one on the chin from the Red Sox, shut out by them for the second time this year. Carlos Carrasco walked the tight rope through five innings but for some reason was sent back out for the sixth inning and it came further off the rails.

What is the level of concern now for Williams' elbow health? Why was Carrasco allowed to pitch the sixth? We answer those questions as well as talking about why Carrasco isn't going anywhere due to the team's lack of depth.

We also try to find out why the Guardians can't seem to get Connor Wong out.

We wrap up with the minor league injury news for the Guardians and some interesting draft news and data on Charlie Condon, Travis Bazzana, Braden Montgomery and more.

The Guardians finally got six innings from a starting pitcher for the first time since April 3, and they scored four runs for the fifth straight game and beat the Red Sox yet again.

We dig into how Ben Lively was able to dominate the Red Sox for the second straight time and get a win this time, why David Fry played a huge role in this win, and how we think this offense and team could actually get better.

Kyle Manzardo is hot in Columbus, so we discuss how calling him up would work with the current roster construction.

The Cleveland Guardians are 16-6 through 22 games in 2024 and life is good. So what is behind the Guardians great start? Friend of the show Andre Knott joins us to break down how the Guardians have gotten off to a great start.

How have they overcome the Shane Bieber injury so far? What lessons did the team learn from 2023 that are helping them? How have they blended coaching staff members from the Tito era into the Stephen Vogt era so well? We dive into that with Andre as well as talking about the differences with this team but not comparing Tito and Vogt, and much more. Thanks to Andre for taking the time on his day off to talk with us

Josh Naylor put White Sox pitchers into the tortured pitchers department in 2022 and in 2024 he's taking his act on a world tour, and the Athletics were his latest victim over the weekend in Cleveland's sweep of Oakland.

On this episode we discuss how the Guardians offense keeps humming at impressive levels of possible sustainability, Tanner Bibee's best start of the year as well as Triston McKenzie. We also compare the first 22 games of 2024 to the first 22 of the Guardians 2022 season.  

At the end we look ahead to the upcoming schedule and give our latest musings on MLB draft stuff from over the weekend and the #1 pick.

The Guardians continue to be road warriors, winning the series against Boston at Fenway, 5-4 on Thursday.

We get into the Guardians winning early despite not getting the usual production from the strongest areas of their team, how Carlos Carrasco was able to settle in for a strong start, Stephen Vogt keeping things fresh with his lineup.

We also talk about the article from The Athletic that touches on Triston McKenzie's situation with his elbow and what it means for his future performance and the Guardians pitching situation.

And we look ahead to the upcoming series with Oakland and some college baseball/MLB draft notes on hitter-handedness, as well as what to watch for this weekend.

The free-swinging Guardians offense ran into a tough matchup against strike-throwing Tanner Houck and the Red Sox, leading to a 2-0 loss where the Guardians never had any threat to score.

We discuss why it was a bad matchup, why Ben Lively's start was so positive (and if the next one will or won't be), why the Guardians acquired Pedro Avila on Wednesday and some notes on Travis Bazzana's injury and draft strategy.

The Guardians bullpen struggled against the Red Sox, and despite a good start from Tanner Bibee, the Guardians have gone 10 straight games without a start of six innings from the rotation. And they improved to 10-3 in those last 10 games thanks to the 10-7 extra inning win over Boston on Tuesday.

We start recording live late in this one all the way through the victory to talk about the bullpen's off night, how two hitters drove up Bibee's pitch count, the bottom of the offense coming through, and how Vogt continues to appear to push the right buttons.

Xzavion Curry picked the Guardians rotation and offense up with five innings of shutout ball in the win over the Red Sox on Patriots Day.

How did Curry shut down the Red Sox lineup in his first start of the year and should he stay in the rotation? We answer that in this episode, as well as what Gabriel Arias is working on during this hot streak, and if Will Brennan can finally make an adjustment stick.

We also talk briefly about the unique profiles in this bullpen and how they each have found success on their path to the majors.

And of course, we cover some interesting stats from college baseball over the weekend, and what days Charlie Condon, Travis Bazzana and Nick Kurtz are doing all their damage. We also quickly cover from Guardians prospect notes from last week.

The Guardians saved their series against the Yankees with a resilient walkoff win. One of the positives in the game is that the Guardians showed how their versatility was key in the win and how the bullpen continues to hold strong despite the starting pitching issues.

Aside from the fun Sunday win, we get into who will be jumping into the Guardians starting rotation this week and if the rotation as a whole can settle things down, and what moves will have to be made to add those starters.

We also ask the question if it is too soon to consider making some lineup changes to get Gabriel Arias and Estevan Florial a chance after good weekends and other hitters struggling.

#guardians  #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

The ridiculous question on everyone's mind - how "real" or "believable" is the Cleveland Guardians 9-3, 12 games in the 2024 season?

While nothing should be taken as definitive with less than 10% of the season being played so far, this episode looks at some of the positives that seem "real" 12 games in and which areas are a concern so far.

We look at the strong bullpen, a quality run differential and some offensive improvement. We also touch on the amount of innings the pen has thrown, the lack of starter depth, and where the lineup gets light.

Make sure you stay for the whole episode to hear about the great idea for the Cleveland Guardians City Connect jerseys and a brief look at the Yankees series ahead.

The Cleveland Guardians Just won't quit and come back from a 5-0 for the second day in a row. This time they finish the job pick up the win and take the series. The Naylor brothers become the fourth pair of brothers to homer in the same inning on National Sibling Day. This team has so much heart, that every game is a blast and this one had three blasts.

We get into the team's trade of the day, who is Wes Parson, and why they added him. Then we switch our focus to the Yankees a team that is different yet similar to Cleveland this year in ways you might not expect.

Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More

🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB

#Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

The Guardians battled back against a 5-0 deficit to the White Sox, but control issues and some weird bounces thwarted a full comeback.

We touch on how leadership helped fuel getting the team back in the game quickly, why the Guardians need to get Scott Barlow settled in here soon and why the Guardians also seem to favor left handed hitters for a reason.

#Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

Shane Bieber is going to miss the rest of 2024 with Tommy John surgery and maybe some of 2025. What do the Guardians do now without their ace? Can they still contend in the AL Central? Should they have traded him before? Will he come back to Cleveland in 2025 as a free agent this winter? How does Stephen Vogt handle this news and his team in the first year as the manager?

We try to answer all of these questions in a therapy session of Locked On Guardians.

Another day, another ace defeated by the Cleveland Guardians. We look at the little things the Guardians did well offensively to beat Pablo Lopez and the Minnesota Twins to spoil their home opener.

We look at how Tanner Bibee and the Guardians bullpen used sliders to silence the Twins bats and an emerging high-leverage reliever in Hunter Gaddis.

And finally, we look at the rest of the weekend series against the Twins and what to expect the rest of the series. We also make some college baseball-watching recommendations for the weekend related to the MLB Draft.

#Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

The Cleveland Guardians are partying like it's 2023.

OK...we don't want that, but they are 5-2 in 2024 like the were in 2023 after seven games facing Oakland and Seattle.

We touch on how the Guardians first seven games this year are different than a year ago offensively and their balanced offensive approach being the Mariners pair of aces to win the series.

We also discuss the apparent conflicting thoughts when watching Shane Bieber pitch well between increasing his trade value and helping the teams win

And finally we look ahead to the Twins series ahead.

#Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

The Guardians were unable to overcome a rough second inning from Triston McKenzie in a short start. Despite the loss to the Mariners on Monday, there were some positive takeaways. The bullpen navigated well and saved them from a potential move to get a fresh arm up and Stephen Vogt pulled some good levers. The offense had some late life and then on Tuesday, also had some good signs behind another strong start by Shane Bieber.

We discuss the level of concern for McKenzie, rehabs, and future moves for Xzavion Curry, Ben Lively, and eventually Sam Hentges and Gavin Williams.

We give its bullpen their due and Tyler Freeman having a standout Monday night. We also look at Will Brennan's bad luck and some positive offensive trends for the Guardians.

#Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

The Cleveland Guardians continue their west coast trip, which gives us the chance to finish our 2024 position preview series with second base.

We took a look back at Andres Gimenez 2022 season and his 2023, to see if the 2024 version will be something in between. We also debated where he ranked on this roster in terms of his importance to the team given his contract, defense, ability to move between second and short if needed, and his all around game.

We also discussed second base options in the minors, which is mostly Juan Brito and then hopefully Travis Bazzana, if those two even stick at second base.  

And it was a big weekend in college baseball, so we discuss the 1.1 options and performance among Charlie Condon, Travis Bazzana, Braden Montgomery, Nick Kurtz, the absence of JJ Whetherholt, and we dig a little deeper on Ryan Johnson.

#Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

The Guardians took three of four games in Oakland to start the 2024 season.  

We get into some of the miscues of the Sunday loss and not taking advantage of being given the game, but also the good and the bad from the first three wins of the series.

Shane Bieber's new changeup and best performance since?

Andres Gimenez hot start.

Tyler Freeman settling in nicely at the plate and in CF.

Overall strong bullpen performance.

Struggles with starter length and some early bullpen overuse.  

Looking ahead to the Guardians series with the Mariners.

#Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

After a long wait the Cleveland Guardians 2024 season finally got underway in Oakland. Shane Bieber looked in vintage form early and the offense got off to a good start.

We weren't able to record reactions for the full game due to the late start, but we discussed the intrigue of the opening lineup, the platoons and flexibility, but also one hitter who should hit higher.

We also discuss the additions of Peter Strzelecki and Zak Kent to their pitching depth and why we think these additions can help in 2024 and maybe beyond.

A few Guardians minor leaguers got cut at the end of spring training, so we give them their due as players and wish them some luck.

Opening day is here! How will the Cleveland Guardians actually do this year? There's a wide range of possibilities for this team. We talk about the numbers that matter for the Guardians to be a playoff team in 2024 and if they can accomplish those.

How many games will the Guardians win? Can they hit more homers or even be a league average offense? Will the pitching staff finish top 10 in ERA again? Will Shane Bieber still be pitching for this team after the trading deadline? Will we see Chase DeLauter this year?  

All of that and more on today's show getting you ready for the 2024 season ahead.

As we wait another day for regular season baseball for the Cleveland Guardians, we continue to wrap up our 2024 position preview series with first base.

Can Josh Naylor repeat his 2023 success and stay healthy? Will he sign an extension?

When will Kyle Manzardo arrive? What other first-base prospects do the Guardians have in the system?

Of course, we talk about some of the first base draft prospects in this year's class - Nick Kurtz, Blake Burke, Aiden Harris, Derek Bender, Jac Cagliaone, and more.

It was a big weekend in college baseball with Travis Bazzana and Charlie Condon making headlines with big games. After not being able to get to it Monday, we give a college baseball/MLB Draft weekend update on the battle for the Guardians top pick as conference play begins.  

We also discuss some other good performances over the weekend including Corey Collins, Luke Holman, Kavares Tears, and Brian Holiday. We also get into some more interesting Jac Cagliaone data.

And we put our 3rd base position preview for the Guardians into the second half of this episode, because what more can we say about Jose Ramirez other than he's great and how many more great years does he have left? We debate that, talk about the lack of third-base prospects in the system and some potential draft prospects at that position as well.

Myles Straw was reportedly placed on waivers by the Cleveland Guardians as they set their initial 26 man roster to start the 2024 season. How did the Guardians arrive at this move now and what it mean for Straw and other players like Tyler Freeman and Estevan Florial. Also, is the influence in the clubhouse as much as we previously thought?

We also get to why neither Kyle Manzardo and Deyvison De Los Santos didn't make the initial roster.

We're under a week away from MLB (US) Opening Day. We talked on Thursday about roster decisions that were going to have to be made soon. On today's episode, we make those decisions. We try to predict what the Cleveland Guardians Opening Day roster will be, and we also compare it to who we would put on the Opening Day roster.

We also get to your mailbag questions including if there will be another late-spring roster clearing trade, and a few draft questions about a recent guest on the show and the 1-1 pick.

Thanks for your questions and listening! Leave a review and share with a friend!

Opening Day is just a week away. And while we say it's sort of an artificial deadline, it does have some effect on roster decisions leading up to the announcement of the Opening Day roster.

Birthday boy today, Carlos Carrasco, has an opt out in his contract for this weekend and Tyler Beede is able to opt out if he's told he's not on the Opening Day roster. What will the decision be for those two arms with Cleveland's current injury situation?

We also discuss not overhyping spring training performances and taking stats too seriously, and that includes everyone's prospect fixation, Chase DeLauter.

Also discussed is the Twins recent pitching injury news, Guardians minor league injury news, and some recent cuts from the minor league roster in Cleveland's system of significance.

#Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #MLB

While we're waiting on the news about Sam Hentges' finger, we wonder if his Opening Day status will also be in doubt, and we also talk about why Opening Day isn't a real deadline, and the sky isn't falling yet.

In that same vein, we also talk about a Guardians relief prospect that could be emerging quicker than we previously thought.

Shane Bieber went 5.2 innings in this latest outing, and with that timing, does it look like we are getting closer to Stephen Vogt naming him the opening day starter.

We also talk about the lack of promotion about the Guardians spring breakout game over the weekend, and a brief college baseball/MLB Draft weekend update.

The Cleveland Guardians got some rough pitching injury news on Thursday, losing Trevor Stephan for the 2024 season with elbow surgery, as well as another lost year for Daniel Espino, as he underwent a second shoulder surgery.

Gavin Williams and Sam Hentges appear to have short-term injuries, and James Karinchak is stuck between short and long-term injury status.

How will the Guardians replace Stephan in the bullpen and how much impact does it have on the Guardians playoff chances?

Are we more concerned about Williams' elbow?

Who will fill in for him in the short term?

What should we expect out of Espino when he returns?

We also discuss the Justin Campbell situation briefly.

And what to watch for in baseball this weekend - NOT the Guardians prospect breakout game, but college baseball.

We're rolling through our 2024 Cleveland Guardians position preview series, discussing the Guardians starting rotation. Will the Fab 5 make the majority of starts in 2024? Will Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie stay healthy? Will Bieber finish 2024 in Cleveland?

We also look at the standout sophomores of Tanner Bibee, Gavin Williams and Logan Allen, to see if they'll take a step forward in 2024, or succumb to the sophomore slump.

Below that, we take a look at the depth options for the rotation which are...tough to imagine.

And of course, we dig into the pitching prospects in the system, while not as deep and exciting as years past, but has pitchers we like, such as Ryan Webb and Ross Carver.

We bring you some more Guardians pitching prospects deep in the minors and of course, we make time to talk about some of our favorite MLB draft targets for the Guardians among this year's pitching class.

We continue with our 2024 Cleveland Guardians position preview, this episode we preview everyone's favorite position...the outfield.

We discuss how Steven Kwan is a set-it-and-forget it type outfielder, and who is going to stand next to him.  

Which outfielders will be on the roster and in the lineup to start the year?  

Who will end the year in the Guardians outfield?  

What will the Guardians "regular" outfield rotation be in 2024? The options are aplenty with Myles Straw, Ramon Laureano, Will Brennan, Estevan Florial and Tyler Freeman is taking the world by storm.

When will Chase DeLauter make his debut? Why we have to see George Valera, and maybe Jhonkensy Noel and Johnthan Rodriguez this year.

We discuss some Guardians outfield prospects down the line, and spend a little time talking about 2024 outfield draft prospects.

Gavin Williams was scratched from his start Sunday out of abundance of caution due to elbow discomfort. Don't panic yet, but we discuss what our level of concern is and what the Guardians rotation options are in the event Williams needs to miss time.

Stephen Vogt claims he's not beholden to the shortstop battle being two players. So if it won't be Gabriel Arias and Brayan Roccio, who could slide at SS?

And we give an update on

Who is going to start the season at shortstop for the Cleveland Guardians? Will they end the year as the main shortstop? Who is the shortstop of the future? The Guardians don't know yet, so we try to figure out in our 2024 position preview at shortstop.

Will it be Arias? Will he hit left handers?

Will it be Rocchio?

Should Andres Gimenez move to short and add Juan Brito to the middle infield mix?

Where do Tyler Freeman and Angel Martinez fit in?

What shortstop prospects are coming up the pipeline?

Which shortstop draft prospects should you keep an eye on?

The hottest rumor of the day for the Cleveland Guardians is that top prospect Chase DeLauter has a chance to make the Guardians out to start the year. We dig into how often a player with his experience level makes the majors as well as explaining why even if he doesn't start the year with Cleveland. He could be an exciting addition in the near future.

We also dig into the struggles of Estevan Florial addressing why it is he is likely to make the team no matter what he does in spring training.  

We reach out to the listeners for what they love or hate about spring training. Then add with some draft stats that make Charlie Condon look quite good in this year's class.

After an interesting weekend of college baseball, we dig into some of the top performs like Travis Bazzanna of Oregon State, Jonathan Santucci of Duke,  Hagen Smith of Arkansas, Jac Caglianone of Florida, Chase Burns of Wake Forest, and Ohio boy Riley Huge of Winthrop. I have several hot takes. The big one focused on how impressed I was after watching Jac Caglianone pitch in particular.  

We get into the debate of Charlie Condon of Georgia vs. Nick Kurtz of Wake Forest. And why it is becoming Condon ahead of Kurtz to many.

We also get into the Guardians potential bench brigade, and show there is a limited number of spots left, and how the shortstop position will have a big effect on the bench, and who makes this team. Could there be another rookie of the year candidate than Manzardo for Cleveland this year?

Trevor Stephan is shut down for three weeks with a deep bone bruise in his elbow, in addition to James Karinchak's shoulder fatigue keeping him out. Neither reliever seems likely to be ready for Opening Day. Who will fill in the open spots in the bullpen in the wake of the injuries and who will step up?

We go over the options and who is most likely to emerge in the short term and long term.

We also discuss the Guaridans' adjusted approach to try to hit for more power and if it will work.

And with Tyler Freeman playing some centerfield, we look at how that option could change the composition of the roster and who will man the outfield spots.

Spring training is in full swing, so we're starting our 2024 position previews and starting at catcher. We discuss how big of a leap Bo Naylor can take in year 2, and if he's the most exciting young player on this roster. We also debate if the time to extend him is now, and how much that would cost. What is Austin Hedges' role, how much should he play, and where does David Fry fit?

We also get to talk about the future of Ralphy Velazquez and if he'll stick catcher, and other catchers in the system.

At the end, we throw out some catcher names in the draft as well.

The Guardians are finally playing actual baseball games in 2024, even if they are exhibition games. We quickly went over a few things that were notable from the opening weekend of spring training for the Guardians. We also talk about the impact of the George Valera injury and why it puts him and the Guardians in a tough spot regarding his future.

Stephen Vogt has mentioned Joey Cantillo by name twice already this spring and we get into what he said about the young left-handed prospect.

We also dig deep into a big weekend in college baseball, talking about Hagen Smith's meteoric performance and if that puts him into the 1.1 conversation, along with Travis Bazzana's big weekend, and other notable performances to take note of.
