The Cleveland Guardians are back to .500 after a fantastic win today. The offense was productive but the big story and our first focus is on the fantastic performance of Triston McKenzie. We focus on his exceptional performance. We also get into some roster moves that were made due to Aaron Civale’s injury along with the return of Kirk McCarty. We also get into the issues with the Guardians starting pitching depth in general. 

We dig deeper into the win for the Guardians. The Detroit Tigers are very bad with three hitters hitting below .200 and just two batters with OPS over .700. Their top hitter this year is former Guardians Eric Haase. We talk about how nice he would look in the backup catcher role and why it stinks he got away. We also give away our three stars for this game Triston McKenzie, Andres Gimenez, and Amed Rosario.

We look at top-performing pitching prospects this year. Logan Allen might have had some issues in AAA but he has 21 more strikeouts than the next nearest pitcher in the minors. We dig into who have been the top performers and notice that the top names on the strikeout lists are all prospects that are pitchers of note. We also look into the recent minor league transactions and why there has been so much movement involving Lake County. Then we talk a bit more about Bryan Shaw and why he should be nearing the end of his time in Cleveland.
