The White Sox head to Cleveland to take on the second-best team in baseball, and the clear leaders of the division, the Guardians. Pat Ellington Jr. joined the podcast to talk all things Guardians and the upcoming bloodbath … I mean series. Pat’s baseball knowledge is insurmountable and made this conversation delightful from start to finish.

Here is what we talked about:

• Remembering Orlando Cepeda and Willie Mays
• What’s new in Cleveland?
• The shared history between Cleveland and Chicago
• José Ramírez and Steven Kwan are seriously good
• The second-best team in all of baseball right now
• Confidence in staying on top
• Wanted: A starting pitcher … like Garrett Crochet?
• Too many All-Star contenders to count
• Pitching matchups
• Keys, fears, and threats
• Do people still want to see the White Sox at home?
• MLB thoughts
