In this installment of Reliever Roundup & Bullpen Bonanza, Evan Thompson — Editor-in-chief, National Writer, and Athletics Writer at Sport Relay — goes through the Week 19 Power Rankings for teams, middle relievers, setup men, and closers. He also updates the Drew Pomeranz Ticker, gives injury updates, and applies a stat in a way he hasn't applied it before. Plus, special guest Chris Caray (Athletics tv and radio broadcaster) comes by for a visit, discussing the resilience of the Athletics, how he dealt with a viral moment, his road to being a big-league broadcaster, and the all-time status of Angels closer Kenley Jansen.
