Show notes

Ken and Lima close out the show feeling good about ALCS Game 3, leaning on daytime Gavin Williams, a rested bullpen, and a chance for Jose Ramirez to bounce back. They feel for fans who had to scramble over the time change, expect some empty sections in the 500 level, and push back on critics who say Cleveland doesn't support its team. They agree it's not a must-win but would be deflated by a loss, and they encourage everyone who can get downtown early to bring the energy.
