Cleveland Guardians LACK of CLUTCH & Questionable Choices FRUSTRATE in Loss to New York Yankees

Cleveland Guardians’ "clutch" hitting continues to be cold in frustrating series against the New York Yankees. Jeff Ellis and Justin Lada break down the Guardians’ latest struggles with runners in scoring position, exploring whether “clutch” exists and why Jose Ramirez, Steven Kwan, and others can’t deliver the big hit at the right moment. The show dissects questionable in-game decisions, including a controversial safety squeeze with Kyle Manzardo on third, and analyze the bullpen’s mixed results. We give Slade Cecconi his flowers as he continues his turnaround, keeping Cleveland in tight contests despite the offensive slump.   00:00 Guardians' clutch struggles post-Yankees 08:29 Questioning Guardians' clutch players 15:49 Asking pitchers to do things they don't normally do 18:14 Herrin's seventh inning performance 26:26 Questionable game management decisions with bunts and runners 32:14 Secconi's impressive starts against Yankees   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Cash App Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/2ut33jnc #CashAppPod   Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.
