Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken and Lima look on as producer John recaps another Guardians heartbreaker, a 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Mets that drops Cleveland below .500 for the first time since April, despite Angel Genao going 4-for-5 in his debut and Nathaniel Lowe driving in two. They point out the lineup now features seven players who weren't there on Opening Day, and debate whether it's finally time to panic given a recent history of Guardians runs that always seem to follow doubt. The conversation detours into Akron Zips football, where a promotion letting one season ticket holder script the opening drive helped sell out suites for the first time ever, and John shares Shawshank Redemption trivia about the Mansfield, Ohio prison where it was filmed. They close wondering if the Rams have any shot against the 49ers in their Week 1 trip to Australia.
