## Resource

Ken and Anthony dig into the Guardians' frustrating 12-inning loss to Minnesota, debating whether Steven Vogt's decision to have Patrick Bailey bunt cost them the game or whether the blame belongs squarely on a lineup that managed just three hits. Owen chimes in on the logic of not using Austin Hedges as a pinch-hitter, and the guys agree the team has overcome a thin offense all year to stay in playoff position. The conversation pivots to Brian Windhorst's ESPN comments on LeBron James' free agency, with Ken admitting he's exhausted by the endless speculation and drawing heat from staff for saying so on air.
