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.
