Wednesday Aug 05, 2020
Wednesday Aug 05, 2020
In this episode, we analyze the first 12 games of the Indians' season so far. The Indians finish the first 1/5th of the season at 6-6 and have a really interesting dynamic thus far in the season. We discuss how our pitching has been the best in the league, with our 6 starting pitchers all being dominant and our bullpen shutting teams down. In terms of pitching, we focus in on Zach Plesac, Shane Bieber, Brad Hand, and James Karinchak. After hyping up our pitching performance so far, we go in-depth on our failures at the plate and talk about where we need improvements. Some key hitters we talk about are Franmil Reyes, all of the outfielders, and Cesar Hernandez. We wrap up the episode by briefly talking about the next 12 games and what we can expect from the Indians by the time our next Indians episode is out.

Cleveland Sports' Biggest Letdowns Since 2000!
Saturday Aug 01, 2020
Saturday Aug 01, 2020
In this episode, we each give a list of the 5 biggest letdowns in Cleveland sports over the past 20 years. In a city that has seen pretty much nothing but disappointment and failure from its sports teams for such a long time, this is a very interesting topic and had us looking back on some of the worst moments in our lives as Cleveland fans. Topics range from LeBron's "The Decision" to leave the first time, the 2019 Browns season, the final 3 games of the 2016 World Series, and many many more. Due to the large number of disappointing events in Cleveland sports since 2000 and even prior, we weren't able to even come close to covering them all in this episode. As a result, we would love for you all to reach out to us on Instagram or Twitter and let us know what your personal biggest letdown was from a Cleveland team. You can find us on Instagram and Twitter @maddawgpod. Let us know what you think of our takes, share some of your own, and just get involved with the podcast.
