Ken Carman and Anthony Lima play sound of Guardians legend Tom Hamilton explaining that Jose Ramirez's hamate bone surgery means fans won't see the "real" Ramirez again until next season, sparking a mix of denial and grief on the show. Ken admits he doesn't want to accept the season is over, arguing the team's identity of clutch hitting and manufactured runs simply isn't who this roster is anymore. A caller pushes back that what fans are watching is essentially minor league baseball given 10-11 rookie call-ups, while the hosts note that's not new for this era of Guardians teams.
