EHC returns with their first podcast of the 2023 season, taking a long look at the Cleveland Guardians as they head into the 2023 season.

• Optimism abounds as the Guardians open up camp.
• Is Shane Bieber heading for a monster year in 2023?
• Looking past Bieber and Triston McKenzie, is the Guardians current pitching staff "thin" heading into the season?
• Who will step up in the rotation? Is Aaron Civale and Cal Quantrill ready to take a leap, or are they at their season, and what about the trio of Gavin Williams, Tanner Bibee, and Daniel Espino?
• Is everyone looking past Logan Allen?
• #JRaMVP
• Kevin asks, "Is Jose Ramirez a Hall of Famer, and if not yet, what will it take to get there?"
• Mike, Kevin and Jim take a quick spin around the line-up, and how Will Brennan, Tyler Freeman, and Gabriel Arias are massive upgrades over the 2022 bench.
• Remembering old friends...and taking them with us going forward as Guardians' fans.

The EHC crew gets together to discuss the big Twins series, what the four game lead means for the Chicago series, and everything in between Minnesota and Chicago.

Gage Will and Mike Hattery explore the first base position for Cleveland. Bobby Bradley, Jake Bauers, and Josh Naylor highlight the discussion for the now, with a little hint at what's coming down the prospect pipeline.
