Matt Dery joins Ken and Anthony to rank Sunday's comeback win among the Guardians' top three of the season, crediting Chase DeLauter and Hoskins for finally delivering with runners in scoring position. He explains the Naylor-Hedges tension by pointing to Naylor's lack of postseason hustle and reputation around the league, while praising Hedges as the most respected leader in the clubhouse. Derry also breaks down Travis Bazzana's rookie struggles, arguing he still belongs everyday given his draft pedigree, and pushes back on the idea that Cleveland can't develop hitters by pointing to Bazzana, DeLauter and Kahlil Watson's early returns.
