The Cleveland Guardians drop a rough one against the Chicago White Sox. After the Elvis Andrus chatter a day ago this one stings a little more as Cleveland failed in most aspects of the game. In terms of the positive Myles Straw had three hits and is hitting over .210 now. Will Benson and Amed Rosario have both struggled over the last month but both had multi-hit games and extra base hits. Plus in terms of players who have struggled Eli Morgan had one of his best appearances in a long time. So this was basically a game where everyone who has been struggling performed and the rest not so much.

We talk about who has performed well since the Seattle series. Almost everyone has a wRC+ over 100 over the last week. While a small sample size it is important due to the fact there are a lot of games against the Royals left. We talk about schedules and why they strongly favor the Guardians. The Twins and White Sox will be in a dog-fight while the Guardians face the Royals. On the downside that is way too eerily similar to a great young team in 2004 down the stretch that saw things go wrong. I have much more confidence in this squad though.

We end talking about Anthony Gose having Tommy John surgery, and why it means he might not pitch for the Guardians again and why it assuredly means he will not be rostered this offseason. We try to predict the playoff roster. Most of the pieces are pretty easy to figure out, but it is the fringes of the roster that I am curious to hear people's thoughts on.
