It's Been a Challenge

About this episode

Zack and T.J. discuss the Guardians' ongoing challenges with balls and strikes, the impact on the bullpen, and the team's offensive struggles.

Zack and T.J. discuss the Guardians' continued struggles in challenging balls and strikes and how burning through them helped push them toward a bullpen meltdown against Boston, how the offense continues to be limited by Jose Ramirez's league average contributions and the overall lack of team power in recent series, and Mike Aviles' calves.
