Cleveland Guardians survive a gut wrenching game vs. the Chicago White Sox, avoiding a sweep. Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down the Guardians’ nerve-racking victory, spotlighting Kahlil Watson’s timely hits, the team’s concerning outfield shuffle, and if the call for Cooper Ingle is coming soon. We also get into Tanner Bibee's recent stretch of reliability. And the show covers who the Cleveland Guardians could take with 19th overall pick such as Archer Horn, Tyler Spangler, and Cade Townsend. We also discuss theories about the Guardians managing starting rotation fatigue.
