Is There More Pressure On The Guardians This Year Than Last Year?  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken and Lima agree the Guardians face more pressure heading into Saturday's ALDS against the White Sox, since they got a week of rest, a lined-up rotation and a wide-open field. Ken gets defensive about casual fans who tune in only for October and then pounce on a loss with "they didn't spend money" takes, while Lima argues the pressure comes from success, not failure. They also trace the franchise's long playoff drought from 1955 to 1994 and look ahead to future contract fights with Chase DeLauter, Travis Bazzana and Angel Genao.
