Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into the Guardians' offensive struggles after a 10-hit, no-win loss, debating whether Steven Kwan or David Fry deserves more of the blame. They credit Kwan for elite defense and a willingness to draw walks despite a brutal bat speed decline, while questioning why Fry still has a roster spot over younger options like Cooper Engel. The pair also revisit their past stance that the Guardians should have paid Kwan big money, conceding that Owen and Zach Meisel were right to push back. They close by wondering if the lineup can hold up in another playoff push once Jose Ramirez and Angel Martinez return from injury.
