Cleveland Baseball & Brews

* REUPLOAD* The crew is back together in the bat cave! We are discussing the Indians move at the deadline with San Diego, does it improve the team this season, how does it help the Indians for the future? What post season hardware could Shane Bieber pick up? We also share our thoughts on how the last month of the season will play out for the Indians

This week we have Jake Underwood subbing in for Caitlin and Matt, he joins Brad to discuss the upcoming trade deadline and possible scenarios the Indians may be involved with. We also talk about how we see the division playing out between the Indians, White Sox, and Twins. Plus, some Lindor talk, Tristan McKenzie's first two starts, and much more.

This week we are joined by Mike "Chico" Borman from 92.3 The Fan to talk about the struggling offense, the fantastic pitching, and the story of the week of Zach Plesac and Mike Clevinger breaking team protocol in Chicago last weekend by leaving the team hotel and the twists and turns that has taken this week.

The season is a week old and we can safely say the Indians have really good starting pitching. We talk the first week of games for the team, the utter brilliant pitching from Shane Bieber, what is wrong with the offense, and the COVID outbreak on the Marlins and Cardinals. Plus, we are joined by Mark "Munch" Bishop to discuss the first week of the season

Andre Knott makes his long awaited debut on Cleveland Baseball and Brews! We preview the season with Andre on a variety of topics from who has stood out at summer camp, how the broadcasts are going to look on the TV side, and how he thinks the AL Central will shake out. Plus, he shares some great stories from his time on the road with the team. We also give out our 2020 season predictions!

Baseball is sorta back as the teams have started Spring Training 2.0 as they prepare for the start of the 60 game season at the end of the month. So that means we are back as we discuss the start of that for the Indians, players across MLB deciding to opt out of the season and the major topic going through Cleveland right now, the team discussing a potential change of the team name.

The show is back after a month hiatus! On this episode the crew talks about the owners and the players rejecting proposal after proposal after proposal. Thoughts are shared on why the proposals keep getting rejected on both sides and wonder why the two sides just can't agree on a deal, and how this could potentially offer a preview of what talks could be like next year before the current CBA expires for MLB and the MLBPA after the 2021 season. Plus, the crew discuss when baseball does comeback what will the stadiums look and sound like without fans in them.

It's a new week which means a new report of a plan for MLB to start the season as come out. We discuss the specifics of this plan, when the season will start, what the division will look like and if we think this is the best route for the league to take. Also, we talk about Emmanuel Classe being suspended and we pick the show's all time favorite baseball movie, bracket style.

It's another week of social distancing for us! This week we had planned to answer some of your questions but we did not get enough, so we answer the ones we did. Also, we discussed the report of the three state plan for MLB to play games in, the feeling of going back to big gatherings when the time right and the monster ratings for the NFL Draft.

We are back and keeping up with the social distancing as Brad was in the bat-cave, while Caitlin and Matt were on the phone (we are not sophisticated enough for Zoom). We discuss the report of the proposed plan for MLB to start the season in Florida and Arizona and how that could be pulled off. Also, we talk about what the three of us have been up to since everything was enacted and talk about when and if other sports leagues will start back up.

This week on the show the crew is talking about a not so fun what if that many people do not want to hear that Caitlin floated out there last week. But before we get to that, we talk about the injury to Oscar Mercado and who would fill in for him if he misses the start of the season, we pour one out for the career of Lonnie Baseball, and talk about the unfair comparison of a possible Lindor extension to the Christian Yelich one.

We are back from a mini hiatus and we will be with you every single week from here on out! This week we are talking about the start of spring with TWO guests. Former co-host Michael Picha joins us to talk about his two week journey in Goodyear and the feelings around the team. Also, we are joined by Bill Wills from Wills and Snyder on WTAM 1100 to get his feelings about the team and his experiences with them. Also, we talk about the opening day not being sold out yet and we have our beer of the week to discuss.

We are back sooner than we thought, but felt it was a good time to discuss the comments Paul Dolan made at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards this past week. Also, we discuss the Hall Of Fame vote and Caitlin some Dear Dolans.

We are back for the first episode of 2020! Brad, Caitlin, and Matt are ready to give their thoughts on the BIG story of the week involving the Houston Astros and sign stealing. Also, they discuss the Indians moves this offseason and what the team can do that would help strengthen the team.

We are in this week talking about the rumors and reports that teams are interested in Francisco Lindor, so we enlisted the help of Mike "Chico" Bormann from 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland to make sense of the rumors and talk some "What If" scenarios. Also, we talk about the World Series and the fallout to come this off season.

It is the final episode of the 2019 season for us, as the Indians will not be making the playoffs this season. We cover it all on this episode from what wrong this season, to the bright spots of the year, and we talk about what could happen this off-season. Plus, we go over our predictions from the start of the season and preview the MLB playoffs.

It is the final week of the season, the playoff push and we are talking about what it would take to get into the wild card game. To do that we enlist the help of our guest this week, Mark Schwab for Channel 19 to get his perspective on the final week of the season. Also, we talk about all the news from the week including Jason Kipnis talking about his time in Cleveland potentially ending, Jose Ramirez possibly playing soon, and the final two playoff spots in the National League.

Yup, it is more of a subdued show this week as we can kiss the division bye bye this week, but we are not saying the season is over (well one of us is). We play the schedule game between the Indians and the Rays to figure out how many wins it would take to get the 2nd wild card spot. We also talk about the craziness that was the double header from Saturday and what the off-season could hold for the team.

It was a Jekyll and Hyde week for the Indians, it started out high with a mauling of the White Sox and finished that series sleep walking through the game on Thursday. We have our feelings on that series, plus the ups and downs of Carlos Carrassco, the upcoming final home stand, and are the Indians done in the division even if the sweep the Twins over the weekend. Plus, a little Browns talk as they start their 2019 season.

The trio is sans guest this week and we are covering a whole bunch of topics from more injuries to deal with, to Adam Cimber, to potential playoff scenarios and should the major league team gut the roster of its AAA playoff team. Plus, Matt has his brew of the week and we talk about how awful Tropicana Field is.
