1. The Cleveland Guardians end the season with 92 wins with another victory over the Kansas City Royals, a team lined up to pick fifth in the 2023 MLB draft. The Tampa Bay Rays are on deck but we spend some time on this game getting into the three stars Aaron Civale, Jose Ramirez, and Josh Naylor. We also have some fun with odd stats on the year. For instance, this is the first time the Guardians have not had a .300 hitter or a 30 home run hitter since 2013 which was Tito’s first in Cleveland. 
2. We get into a truly frustrating situation with the post-season schedule. Between taking forever to release the times, and then putting the Guardians in a bad ticket-selling spot by putting two games at 12:07. MLB needs to realize having two games at the same time is not competing for air time this early on. People tend to watch their teams and not every single game that is on. It would have been better to have two head-to-head games rather than have the Guardians matched up on ESPN2 due to college football or having a pair of games occurring in the middle of the day one of which happens to fall on a work day. 
3. We end with some previewing of the pitching matchups and bullpen chatter. We finally know who will face who so we get into how we feel about the battle of the Shanes along with Triston vs Glasnow. The hope is the Guardians can win this one in two so that they can save Quantrill for round two. But let’s be honest the hope is they can win this series in general.
