Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Fri Sep 25 2026
Description: Ken and Anthony push back on the "weak AL Central" narrative surrounding the Guardians' playoff berth, arguing the balanced schedule and expanded playoff format make the division-strength argument mostly moot compared to years past. They dig into what's fueling their late-season surge, from Steven Kwan rediscovering his swing to a bullpen that's been excellent for over a month, while wondering if a struggling Jose Ramirez could still have a big postseason. The segment closes with a quick hit on Nick Chubb's retirement press conference set for later today.
