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

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 year05:09 Guardians didn't pull Foster Griffin soon enough10:04 More defensive mistakes plague Cleveland15:26 Who should be the third playoff starter and how to line up rotation19:21 Who are the Guardians worst hitters in the second half28:51 Andrew Walters latest injury highlights risk of drafting college relieversEverydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
