Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Thu Aug 20 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into the Guardians' 1-0 loss to the Giants, their 12th shutout of the season and worst offense in baseball, and question whether Stephen Vogt's low-key press conferences are fueling fan frustration. They trace the team's offensive freefall back to Chase De La Cruz's comments about young hitters pressing at the plate, wondering if last year's postseason run is the only thing keeping this season's hopes alive. The guys also touch on David Blitzer's incoming ownership, injuries to Joe Adell and Chase De La Cruz, and the kickoff of high school football season in Northeast Ohio.
