Cleveland Guardians' postseason run ended in the ALCS with them running out of gas in Game 6 and beaten at their own game by the Rays, and many ex-players. The episode raises tough questions about pitching depth and managerial strategy. Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis look at who did and didn't show up in the ALCS, if Stephen Vogt’s bullpen management cost them again, Cade Smith’s fatigue, and the decision not to start Tanner Bibee. We also get into the underwhelming offense after Game 1, and how the Rays' contact-heavy approach exposed Cleveland's inability to win that way.
