Justin Lada of Locked on Guardians joined Overtime with Jake Vulinec to preview the Guardians and White Sox ALDS matchup. Did Stephen Vogt make the right decision in starting Parker Messick? Should we expect Tanner Bibee to start game 3 or could it be a bullpen game for the Guardians? Should Vogt have a short hook with Foster Griffin? Does Justin have any concerns for the offense going into the playoffs? What should we expect from Jose Ramirez this postseason?
