Is the Guardians' Season Over After Being Swept By the Mets?  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken and Anthony process a gut-wrenching Mets sweep that left the Guardians looking disinterested on the field, with Ken openly wondering whether Steven Vogt's recent fiery outbursts are motivation tactics or signs he's cracking under the losing. Owen offers a shaky silver lining, pointing out the division-leading White Sox also got swept and that Cleveland's remaining schedule is still relatively soft. A caller named Geo rips into Vogt as an over-tinkerer who can't leave a good lineup alone, using the Kyle Manzardo demotion and limited at-bats for young hitters as evidence of an organization that doesn't trust its players.
