Ken and Lima, along with Owen, keep riding the high of the Guardians' Game 1 win over the Rays, crediting the team for celebrating the White Sox comeback and still showing up ready to hit. They marvel at how loud and red the Trop was, including a call from Jim in St. Petersburg who was at the game and says it felt like Progressive Field. They also talk about Jose Ramirez showing off his energy on the national stage, neutral fans jumping on his bandwagon, and whether young fans might adopt this Guardians team as a second favorite.
