Giolito Grinds Out a Win, Robert's Strong Streak & Other Takeaways from Cleveland + How the Sox Are Advancing Player Development

James and I had a full-length conversation about Jimmy John's before recording today's show. He stopped me midway through our chat and asked, "Was it you that I mentioned my issue with "Vito" meat?" It wasn't. Which means James has had, at least, two in-depth discussions about Jimmy John's subs. Welcome to 2020. It's time for the Good, the Bad & the Ugly: Cleveland edition (1:00). Giolito flaunted his fastball en route to Chicago's second win of the season. Are we already taking Yasmani for granted, and what was James' sense of his and Gio's battery? Tim Anderson may have, intentionally or unintentionally, destroyed Brad Hand's career with his postgame comments, and LUIS ROBERT'S HIT STREAK CONTINUES (5:15). The bad in the Cleveland series starts and ends with the questionable lineup configurations (13:15). The ugly, well, that's fairly obvious (20:30). James describes how Chicago is enhancing their player development amid a global pandemic (24:15), and we preview the Royals series (30:00).
