Is the Guardians' Season Over?  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Wed Aug 12 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima wrestle with whether it's time to declare the Guardians' season over after a 6-4 loss to the Tigers dropped them to four games under .500 and extended a brutal 2-8 stretch. They debate José Ramírez's injury-hampered "season from hell," a thin bullpen beyond the closer, and how a lineup overhauled with rookies has lost its "Guards ball" identity of manufacturing runs. Caller Tommy argues the weak division keeps hope alive but warns the Guardians are basically out of it if they don't turn things around within a week.
