No Easy Solution for Cleveland Guardians When it Comes to Joey Cantillo's Control Issues

Joey Cantillo's control issue put the Cleveland Guardians in a tough spot after a frustrating loss to the Baltimore Orioles. They continue to play from behind due to offensive issues, and Cantillo didn't help. Can pitching coach Carl Willis help Cantillo regain his form, or will Cleveland be forced to experiment with options like Slade Cecconi or a bullpen strategy as the team battles for a Wild Card spot? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down the Guardians’ walk-filled loss to the Orioles, discuss the struggling spots up and down the lineup right now, causing the lack of leads in games recently. We also quickly look back on the minor league seasons from prospects like Welbyn Francisca, Jacob Zibin, and Robert Arias as Single-A and High-A seasons end.
