Guardians Fail to Find Momentum in New York; Farm System Gets High Praise Post-Draft, End of Season

Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

The Guardians failed to find any momentum against the Yankees on Wednesday after a big win on Tuesday.

This episode talks about how we know momentum really doesn't seem to a tangible thing or matter when you can't execute when you're set up in an advantageous position. We talk about the Guardians inability to beat a struggling lefty and getting beat by two players in a lineup of nine.

We also cover how the Guardians should change their pitching plan, what chances they have against Gerrit Cole, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge in the finale, and what tiebreakers there are if the Guardians pull off a win. We also discuss why despite the loss Wednesday, two underappreciated players at least put them in position to put their best effort forward in the finale.

The final segment of this episode discusses how the Guardians farm system shot up the rankings post-draft but also because of emerging prospects already in the system, including one prospect that got the attention of managers around the minor leagues in a best tools survey.
