Ken and Anthony break down the Guardians' 3-0 series loss to the Tigers, dropping them to 59-63 and further back in the AL Central. The debate centers on whether any positive argument for a 2026 postseason run can be made without leaning on last year's historic 15.5-game comeback, which they agree is no longer a fair comparison given a tougher schedule and thinner bullpen. They also dig into Stephen Vogt's postgame comments sounding eerily like a beleaguered former Cleveland manager, and note the Guardians left multiple runners in scoring position again during a stretch of poor offensive execution.
