Locke'd In Baseball

In his first weekly Yankees recap, William discusses Luis Gil's surprising first two starts in the big leagues. He also talks about the massive difference Rizzo and Gallo make by adding two lefty bats to the lineup, Heaney's struggles, great new bullpen additions, and more. He wraps the podcast by taking a trip around the bigs and hitting on some news and notes from around the league, including Brock Holt's pitching performance and the MLB's need for a mercy rule (41:02). 

Joe Sieben joins Luis and William to break down this week's MLB trade deadline and NBA Draft. The three list their biggest winners and losers from both events, including the Yankees, Red Sox, Orlando Magic, and Golden State Warriors. They also hit on some "quick-hitting" topics at the end including Texas & Oklahoma's move to the SEC, Tate Martell, the Olympics, and more.

Luis Barranco joins the pod again to discuss all things MLB. They start out breaking down the American League (2:15) including potential Mike Trout Trades (!), the issues with the Yankees roster (and coaching), Cedric Mullins' hot start, and much more. They then discuss the National League (25:51) including the surprising Giants, Brewers and Reds, the NL East crapshoot, and the disappointing Cubs and Cardinals. Both AL and NL All-Star rosters are dissected (38:10) before the co-hosts discuss some names that are going to come up at the trade deadline at the end of July (100:50). The two wrap up the podcast breaking down the Futures Game roster (107:40) before giving their Home Run Derby picks.

Joe Sieben joins Armand and William to react to the NBA Draft Lottery that took place on Tuesday night. They discuss what the Pistons should do at number one and why Cade Cunningham might not be a lock to land in Detroit on draft night. They also discuss Houston's options at number two, Toronto's potential to become contenders in the East again with their luck on lottery night, possible draft-night trades, Golden State's needs at #7, a dilemma in New Orleans, and much more. They conclude the podcast debating the most tortured sports cities in the country, a bit on the NHL playoffs and future podcast ideas.

Armand and William are back discussing the NBA, this time they lead with their reactions to an All-Time Kevin Durant performance in Game 5 against Milwaukee. They also break down the impact Kawhi's knee injury will have on the Utah-Clippers series, CP3's positive COVID-19 test and its impact on the Suns' title hopes, and Joel Embiid, and the prospects of winning an NBA Title with your best player being a big-man. William then lists his top-20 NBA players and Armand reacts (51:10). Finally, the two discuss the HBO Mini-Series The Night Of, starring Riz Ahmed and John Turturro (1:12:35).

Luis and William are back to preview every single aspect of the 2021 MLB season. They preview every team's season before giving their over/under win projections, division standings, pennant/World Series winners, and also MVP predictions!

In this pod Armand and William are joined by English study abroad friend Stella Filipiak. After talking about the current state of the night-life industry in London, the three play a game trying to decipher various slang phrases in their respective countries. The winner gets a free night out on the town in London (whenever COVID ends and Armand and William can actually travel abroad again.) It is safe to say say that Armand and William learned a lot about English slang in this podcast!
