00:00So what's the deal with the Guardians?

00:06They've been unbelievable when you think about it.

00:08What a season they've had and no one's been able to catch him even when they hit a rut

00:13recently.

00:16It's all bullpen.

00:17I think bullpen, you know, Jose Ramirez, Steven Kwan, they've got lucky in some ways because

00:23they've got guys that had zero expectations to be able to do anything offensively.

00:27They've been able to do it.

00:28Now they're in a really weird spot because they don't, the rotation is all over the place.

00:33I mean, it is, excuse me, it is all over the place.

00:36And so I don't, if you would have told me that Ben Lively was going to be their best

00:40starter at this point in the season when they would have one of the best records in major

00:44league baseball, I would have told you you were insane.

00:46But yet Lively set a good season out of the rotation.

00:50Who knows what's going to happen with Alex Cobb.

00:51We might see him, even Tristan McKenzie, who's been struggling of late when they sent him

00:56back down to the minors and he was struggling in the minors too.

01:00The other day he had, what, he went six innings and struck out 11 yesterday.

01:03Yesterday.

01:04Yeah.

01:05So, I mean, even he looks like he might push the rotation.

01:09So are you more worried about Minnesota or Kansas city in that central?

01:16I think I'm more worried about the fact that they're just going to self-explode, you know,

01:21that's the thing.

01:23The bullpen has been so good.

01:24And I'm just worried about the innings that they're taking in right now and that they've

01:27taken in all season.

01:29And if they start to explode, then you've got, then they're going to have an, you're

01:33going to have an issue.

01:34But a manual class, they deserves to be in that conversation for the Cy Young award.

01:39He has been simply amazing all year as the closer.

01:42And I know we've only seen it twice before major league baseball, where a closers had

01:45a shot to win, to win, to actually win the Cy Young.

01:49I got to believe Colossi, especially with relievers only going five innings, six innings,

01:53he should have a good shot at the Cy Young.
