Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels still have the ability to win baseball games, as they demonstrated over the weekend, taking 3 of 4 from the Cleveland Guardians! The Guardians have not had the strongest offense this season, but it was great to see some strong pitching performances out of Tyler Anderson and Kenny Rosenberg as well as the bullpen! The young stars of the team showed off as well, as Logan O'Hoppe appears to be getting his timing back after knocking home runs in back-to-back games. Mike and Jon have your weekend recap on today's show!

Plus, we'll discuss Nolan Schanuel's new Angels' record, Luis Rengifo's disappointing injury, and the news that came out Sunday about Mike Trout and the potential that he could be traded. We'll get into all of it on today's Locked On Angels!

The Los Angeles Angels do not have many games left this season, and with the disappointing play they've had on the field, we're happy to be taking your questions for Fanmail Friday! On today's show, you asked about Mike Trout and his ability to be a locker room leader, and we dive into why it seems he hasn't done that so far. With young guys like Zach Neto, Logan O'Hoppe, and Nolan Schanuel making a splash in the big leagues, now is the perfect time for Trout to step up. We'll discuss in segment 1!

Then, how do the Super Halo Bros. feel like this offseason is going to go for the Halos? Mike and Jon share their thoughts, and they answer questions about potential moves the Angels could make to help the team next year. Plus, they'll answer your questions on the Halos' future and what the team could look like next year!

The Los Angeles Angels have lost 6 games in a row after being swept by the Baltimore Orioles, after Patrick Sandoval struggled once again. The team just doesn't seem to have any fire or urgency, and it's why Mike believes Shohei Ohtani should do what's best for himself and get the procedure he needs to correct the UCL injury he suffered two weeks ago. Mike has a recap of the game and he'll explain why he believes Ohtani should move forward without the Angels for the rest of the season.

Then, is Zach Neto the Angels' Adley Rutschman? When Neto is in the lineup, the Angels have had a whole lot more success than without him, and it's the same effect that Rutschman has had on the Orioles. Mike will compare and share his thoughts in segment 2!

Plus, what do we make of Phil Nevin's team meeting he held with the players the other day? He spoke to the media about the team and the meeting the other day, and Mike shares why he's frustrated with his statements and what they mean in segment 3.

The Los Angeles Angels had the chance to take a victory against the Baltimore Orioles, but Carlos Estevez was unable to secure the save once again in the 9th inning. After a back-and-forth game that saw both the Orioles and Angels have leads, it came down to extra innings, and the O's were able to get the ghost runner across while the Angels did not. Reid Detmers delivered a quality start, and Nolan Schanuel, Brandon Drury, Luis Rengifo, and Mike Moustakas all had good games, but the Orioles came away with the win in the end. Mike and Jon have your recap in segment 1!

Then, after having such a strong August, Luis Rengifo was named American League Player of the Week! It got Angel fans thinking: is Luis Rengifo legit, or is this 2nd-half surge his normal pattern? Mike and Jon dive into the stats to answer the question, and you'll be surprised at some of the takeaways the numbers provide. We've got your answer to "Is Luis Legit?" in segment 2!

Plus, are the Angels still an attractive destination to free agents? What's the draw of coming to this team who is limping to the finish line? Mike and Jon discuss what are the pros and cons for free agents to head to SoCal in 2024!

The Los Angeles Angels fell short against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night, after Kenny Rosenberg delivered a quality start and the Angels had some nice displays from guys who will be part of the team for the foreseeable future. Despite the loss, there was still a lot of news before the game, including that Tim Salmon and Chuck Finley will be part of the dugout as members of the staff. What does this mean for the Halos' direction moving forward? We'll talk about it and give you a game recap in segment 1!

Then, what do the Angels have in first baseman Nolan Schanuel? There's been a lot of discussion about his ceiling and what he does well, so Mike and Jon share Nolan's journey to the bigs and how he can make adjustments to reach his maximum potential. We'll share what we think he can be in segment 2!

Plus, Shohei Ohtani's agent, Nez Balelo, spoke to the media on Monday about Shohei's state of mind, injury, and about his plans moving forward. We'll tell you what he said and how the Angels play a part in all of this in segment 3!

The 2023 Los Angeles Angels may go on record as the biggest meltdown in MLB, and perhaps all of sports. After failing to unload their players on the waiver wire and get under the Luxury Tax for the purposes of not being penalized and getting a better draft pick should Shohei Ohtani not return, the word on whether or not they have is still questionable with the recent move of Max Stassi to the restricted list. But isn't this just indicative of how poorly the Angels have been run and performed this season? On today's show, Mike shares how frustrating the Halos have been all season long, especially after falling on their face after the trade deadline.

Then, Mike has got your recap of the awful series against the Oakland A's in which the Angels were swept by one of the worst teams in baseball. He watched the games so that you don't have to! It's the least we can do. Get the recap and Mike's thoughts in segment 2.

Plus, in segment 3, Mike dives into what becomes of this team, Phil Nevin, and what the Angels are even going to be in 2024.

The Los Angeles Angels waiver wire players have been claimed and the dust is settled, with former Halos going to new teams on Thursday. We'll recap the landing spots for Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Matt Moore, Hunter Renfroe, and Dominic Leone, and discuss Randal Grichuk's future with the Angels. Now that players are off the Angels' roster, who will be called up in their place? We'll discuss it all in segment 1!

Then, in segments 2 and 3, it's Fanmail Friday! We've got your questions covered, including, are there dark days ahead for the Angels since they traded away so many players to go all in at the beginning of the month? Who would the Super Halo Bros. like to see as manager in the future, and how does this stretch of disappointing Angels baseball compare to the teams of the 90s? We'll get to all of this on today's show!

The Los Angeles Angels were able to get the win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, thanks in part to a game-winning 2-run homer from Brandon Drury and a save from Carlos Estevez! It was not an easy victory, however, as the lead switched back and forth multiple times before the Halos could secure the win. The Angels were even able to "Tungsten Arm" the Phillies! We'll tell you how in segment 1!

Then, the other day Jon wondered; are the Halos fixable? He shared his thoughts on Twitter about how he wonders if people in the baseball world look at the team and feel like they could make a difference in how the Angels operate. Jon shares those thoughts on today's show, and Mike and Jon discuss what someone in the baseball world might think of the Halos in segment 2.

Plus, what is Arte Moreno's motivation for owning the Angels at this point? Mike and Jon discuss what motivates Arte to stay and why he is still here in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels essentially threw in the towel on the 2023 season on Tuesday, after it was announced that players like Matt Moore, Hunter Renfroe, Randal Grichuk, and Lucas Giolito were placed on waivers. What essentially amounts to a salary dump comes less than a month after the Angels went "all in," and the team's poor performance in August all but reduced their playoff hopes to 0%. It's a very Arte Moreno move, and while there is definitely nuance to the decision that does help put the Angels in a better place down the road, it certainly didn't inspire hope in fans at all. Mike and Jon break down what happened, what baseball writers are saying, explain what the Angels are thinking here, and get you up to speed on the situation and our thoughts on the matter.

Then, it's not a repeat episode; the Angels gave away another lead against the Phillies on Tuesday night, after Tyler Anderson and company surrendered 6 runs to Philadelphia, leading to a 12-7 loss. Randal Grichuk must've felt inspired, as he had his best game since becoming an Angel, clearly auditioning for other teams now that he's on waivers. In better news, Nolan Schanuel ties an Angels rookie record! We'll give you a breakdown of the game in segment 2.

Plus, have the Angels started a new trend in baseball? What is it, and is it a good thing for them and the rest of MLB? We'll tell you what it is and what we think in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels just can't seem to hold a lead the minute they get one, as evidenced by their loss to the Phillies on Monday night. Despite the offense scoring runs early, Lucas Giolito couldn't keep the Phillies from returning the favor in the next half-inning. It's a trend that's plagued the Angels all season long, and even though the Halos had plenty of hits, they couldn't deliver enough to overcome Philadelphia. We've got your recap in segment 1!

Then, former Angels starting pitcher C.J. Wilson shared some rather insightful tweets about the Halos organization over the weekend, tweets that described some of the ways that the Angels are clearly lacking in areas regarding development and taking care of players. Jon and Mike discuss the tweets, how it's indicative of why the Angels have been so bad for the last decade, and how it can change if Arte Moreno remains in charge. We'll break it down in segment 2!

Plus, the poor baseball the Angels have played this season got us thinking; is there something going on in the Angels' clubhouse? While it's difficult to have insight into the going-ons of the locker room, we can look at the evidence for issues based on past teams and those who have come over from other teams. We'll share what we mean in segment 3!
