Is Starting Daniel Espino Over Tanner Bibee a Bold Move or a Disaster?
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Wed Oct 07 2026
Description: Ken and Lima open by defending Jose Ramirez's postseason struggles, then dig into the Guardians' decision to start opener Daniel Espino and follow with Joey Cantillo in a must-win Game 3 instead of Tanner Bibee. Lima points to the analytics backing the move, while Ken argues it will haunt Steven Vogt and the team all winter if it fails. A caller named Warren adds that the real problem is the bats, and the guys debate whether one pitching decision, like pulling Gavin Williams in Game 2, can sink fan confidence in a manager.
