Description: The Guardians dropped Game 1 to the White Sox and the pressure on today's Game 2 is enormous, with a stalled lineup, the lowest payroll in baseball and a looming lockout all hanging over the series. A caller from North Ridgeville wants to know why Jo Adell stayed in after four strikeouts and why David Fry started at first base, and the explanation he gets is not the one he expected. If the Guardians lose again, the hosts say, a very different conversation is coming tomorrow.
