Cleveland Guardians Fundamentals IMPLODE in Loss to Minnesota Wins; MLB Draft - College Pitching

Cleveland Guardians are sunk by lack of fundamentals on defense and offense in loss to Minnesota Twins. Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down Joey Cantillo’s gutsy effort on the mound despite spotty defense, look at the shortcomings of Rhys Hoskins and Kyle Manzardo, and analyze lineup inefficiencies—especially with runners in scoring position. We also debate potential trades, dissect the impact of the Patrick Bailey move, and debate the Pirates’ plan to shop their competitive balance pick. We are getting deep on MLB Draft analysis of top college pitching targets, from Cameron Flukey to Tegan Kuhns and Jack Radel, while addressing college hitter concerns and why stocking up on pitching makes sense for the Guardians.   00:00 Guardians' poor fundamentals costsly   03:46 Patrick Bailey's role in leading the pitching staff 07:40 Austin Hedges - pinch hitter? 18:10 What's behind the Ryan Degges trade? 25:06 Trade for the Pirates comp A pick? 31:43 Which amateur pitcher traits we value 35:03 Discussing player development trends 35:53 College pitcher names to know   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
