Cleveland Consternation with Zack Meisel + Sox Rotation Rounding Into Postseason Form & Anderson, Abreau & the AL MVP Race
Description
Cleveland's seen better days, though Detroit deserves some thanks, yet they're vying for a spot in the postseason. Chicago is set to engage Cleveland in a four-round bout, and joining Jon and Jimmy Boy to break the AL Central contests is The Athletic's esteemed Indians scribe, Zack Meisel (:30). Zack, in his infinite wisdom, explains Cleveland's fall from gleeful, non-contact, winning celebrations and playoff security to uncertainty and a near Mt. Everest-sized collapse. James highlights the expectations for the Palehose's quad, including the ailing Indians being perceived as a final, pre-postseason hurdle (8:00 ). The keyboard peckers punctuate their chat by discussing the clubs' pitching matchups (13:30 ). If we had a nickle for every time we mentioned the starting rotation, we'd own a Jimmy John's by now (19:15 ). Plus, where does Dylan Cease fit into the fold? Who's more likely to hold Sox fans' hearts hostage in MVP voting, Anderson or Abreu (26:30 ), and what's going on with Robert (29:30 )?
