How the Cleveland Guardians Compete Without Tanking; Tough Task Ahead to First Place vs. Twins

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The Cleveland Guardians have a chance to get back into first place this weekend in Minnesota vs. the Twins as the White Sox just got swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Their success has continued despite never taking. Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis talk about why the Guardians have never tanked and why that approach is preferable compared to the teams who have attempted this and failed. The show also previews the Twins series ahead and discusses why this won't be a cakewalk against their pitching and lineup. And we also address the concerns about Jose Ramirez and if his playing through pain and injury is hurting the Guardians currently more than helping, and if there really is another alternative at this point.

Why Cleveland Guardians Poor Timing Has Hurt Them All Year, Shows up vs Orioles & September Schedule

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The Cleveland Guardians are starting to run into a timing issue. Manager Stephen Vogt left Foster Griffin in too long in a loss to the Baltimore Orioles, and they also failed to capitalize on key losses by teams close to them in the standings. Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down the fallout from a crucial series loss to the Orioles, looking at Griffin's disastrous outing, and the overworked bullpen. We also get into the way the rotation and schedule lines up for the Minnesota and White Sox series, and why they need to get into playoff position soon to line up their best arms for the playoffs. The show also looks at another lost year for Andrew Walters heading for surgery and what his future roster spot looks like.

00:00 Guardians have had poor timing all year
05:09 Guardians didn't pull Foster Griffin soon enough
10:04 More defensive mistakes plague Cleveland
15:26 Who should be the third playoff starter and how to line up rotation
19:21 Who are the Guardians worst hitters in the second half
28:51 Andrew Walters latest injury highlights risk of drafting college relievers

Cleveland Guardians FINALLY Get Ahead & Add On As Bullpen Stays Hot, Inching Closer to Playoffs

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Cleveland Guardians finally got an early lead, and added on late when it got close. The bullpen did its thing and picked up Tanner Bibee after a good start unraveled in the fifth for him. Travis Bazzana, Brayan Rocchio and the bullpen came up big again. Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis talk about the team's improved lineup from a year ago despite issues and bullpen dominance. We also look at how the bullpen behind Cade Smith has remained rock solid and sometimes dominate in spite of losing Emmanuel Clase. The show also spends time on a deep dive into high-A and low-A minor league standouts such as Bennett Thompson and Dauri Fernandez. And of course we also keep scoreboard watching down the stretch for a playoff spot.

No Easy Solution for Cleveland Guardians When it Comes to Joey Cantillo's Control Issues

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Joey Cantillo's control issue put the Cleveland Guardians in a tough spot after a frustrating loss to the Baltimore Orioles. They continue to play from behind due to offensive issues, and Cantillo didn't help. Can pitching coach Carl Willis help Cantillo regain his form, or will Cleveland be forced to experiment with options like Slade Cecconi or a bullpen strategy as the team battles for a Wild Card spot? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down the Guardians’ walk-filled loss to the Orioles, discuss the struggling spots up and down the lineup right now, causing the lack of leads in games recently. We also quickly look back on the minor league seasons from prospects like Welbyn Francisca, Jacob Zibin, and Robert Arias as Single-A and High-A seasons end.
