Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels lost a pitcher's duel to the Dodgers on Tuesday night, after Reid Detmers went pitch for pitch with Clayton Kershaw. Detmers took a massive step forward, while the Angels failed to deliver with runners in scoring position. It was an unfortunate way to spoil such a great outing, and Mike and Jon will break it down and tel you why the Halos took the L.

Then, what in the world is the point of replay review in Manhattan? After sending Brandon Drury to home and a bang-bang play at the plate, he was ruled safe by the home plate umpire, but the challenge and review from the umpires in New York went the Dodgers' way. Not only was there not enough evidence to completely overturn the call, the review team spent 3 minutes and 22 seconds trying to find any shred of evidence that Drury was out. Mike and Jon vent their frustrations and share how this wasn't the only bad call of the day in segment 2.

Plus, it's Shohei Ohtani's first time facing the Dodgers as a starting pitcher, and we've got the strategy for how he can keep the Dodgers off the bases and from scoring! What will it take to keep Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and J.D. Martinez from having success against Shohei? We've got the answers in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels took 2 out of 3 this weekend from the Kansas City Royals, coming home to Anaheim with a 5-2 road trip behind them!

We're covering all three games from the weekend on today's show, including Patrick Sandoval's strong start on Friday, the performances from injury replacements like Andrew Velazquez and Michael Stefanic, Mike Trout starting to break the slump and heat up, and Shohei Ohtani continuing to be UNREAL during his 15-game hitting streak!

We'll also discuss game 2's bullpen blowup, why it happened, and if that loss is on Phil Nevin. Game 3 saw Jared Walsh hit his first homer, more TROUTANI, and we'll discuss Brandon Drury's big series both on offense and defense!

The Los Angeles Angels seem to be in a place of contention and may be buyers at the deadline, and for today's Fanmail Friday, you asked about potential moves they could make! Will they be in for more bullpen help? Will they look to a starter like Shane Bieber or Marcus Stroman? What's going on with Mike Trout and his slump? Has he ever stepped up when it counts? Well, of course he has, but Jon and Mike have the numbers to remind you that Trout's worst slump of his career is exactly that: a slump. We've got all of this and much more on Fanmail Friday!

The Los Angeles Angels were given a terrific start from Reid Detmers on the mound on Wednesday night, but, unfortunately, a lack of delivering timely hits with runners on base and the B-Team bullpen blowing the lead led to a loss to the Texas Rangers. Despite Shohei Ohtani's big 2-run homer in the 9th, the Angels fell short of a comeback win. We'll tell you how it all went down in segment 1!

Then, in order for the Angels to take the series against the Rangers, they'll have to go through Nathan Eovaldi, who was dominant the last time he faced the Halos. So, what's the key to success for the Angels to get to Eovaldi and take advantage of a not-so-great Rangers bullpen? We've got the solution in segment 2!

Plus, as MLB inches closer to the trade deadline, it's starting to become clear that the Angels have needs that they can solve through trades. The question we're asking: can we trust GM Perry Minasian this trade deadline? Has he earned the trust of fans with the moves he's made so far, and if the Angels are in it to win it, can he pull of a big trade when it matters most? We'll discuss in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels took the second game of the Texas Rangers series in a 7-3 victory on Tuesday night, now winning their last 8 out of 9 games! Despite a difficult start from Jaime Barria, his teammates picked him up and got the Halos the lead, thanks to a Hunter Renfroe 2-run go-ahead home run and Zach Neto piling on more runs in the 9th with his own 2-run homer! Mike and Jon have a full recap of the game in segment 1!

Then, there's been some concerns around Shohei Ohtani's performance on the mound this year, and the Super Halo Bros. take a look at four possibilities as to why he might be having a harder time in 2023. We'll give you the reasons and share what we think has led to the fatigue Ohtani has been experiencing in segment 2!

Plus, would you start Taylor Ward over Mickey Moniak more? We would, and it's not because we don't want to see Moniak play; there's some interesting stats behind our choice that actually speaks to what's best for both guys! We'll explain in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels showed up in Texas to take on the Rangers on Monday night, and they set the tone for how important this series is going to be with an INCREDIBLE win in extras! Shohei Ohtani led the way with 2 CLUTCH home runs, becoming the AL leader in homers in the process! The Halos needed all hands on deck to win this one, as the bullpen pitched 6 strong innings, Chad Wallach added on 2 runs with a BIG homer, Taylor Ward had to play 1st, Brandon Drury got ejected, and Mike Trout stole a base! This game was insane, and we're covering it all in segment 1!

Then, Jared Walsh has struggled at the plate, but where would it be best for him to figure it out? Does he need a trip to the minors, or should he stay with the big club? Jon and Mike explain where they think he should figure it out and why in segment 2!

Plus, Locked On A's host Jason Burke explains the A's Reverse Boycott happening tonight in Oakland! It's something every baseball fan should be informed about, so Jason provides his insight into what's been happening, and Mike and Jon respond in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels took 2 out 3 from their AL West Rivals, the Seattle Mariners, this weekend, and we're here to recap the entire series! Shohei Ohtani was on the mound on Friday, but he did the most damage with his bat, and Mickey Moniak put this one away with a big home run against Luis Castillo! Shoutout to Jacob Webb, who replaced an injured Ben Joyce and locked it down as well! Ohtani said he didn't feel well after the game, and we've got some thoughts to share in segment 1!

Then, the Angels dropped game 2 of the series, as the Mariners piled on hit after hit against Patrick Sandoval, who just couldn't seem to locate his pitches at the velocity he wanted. The big story of the game was home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi's terrible strike 3 call on Shohei, which got Phil Nevin ejected after he gave Cuzzi a piece of his mind. We've got the full story in segment 2!

Plus, game 3 saw Griffin Canning earn the win and Zach Neto have his first multi-homer game! Add-on runs late in the game were crucial and saved Carlos Estevez from needing to close out the game, and Matt Thaiss had 3 big RBIs in this one! We'll give you all the details about this game in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels made it three wins in a row on Wednesday night, after Jaime Barria went 5 innings and the bullpen of Ben Joyce, Aaron Loup (what??), and Sam Bachman no-hit the Cubs the rest of the way! Mike Trout homered and made plays in Center Field like it was 2012 again, and Luis Rengifo and Mickey Moniak added on the runs to give the Halos a 6-2 Victory! Mike and Jon have the recap for you in segment 1!

Then, there's been a lot of conversation about the Angels needing a closed-door meeting, especially after the Astros series. If they were to have one, who would be the leader of the locker room to guide the conversation? The answer might surprise you! We'll tell you who it is and what they should talk about in segment 2!

Plus, the big topic of conversation right now is how valuable Anthony Rendon's return to the lineup is and why he helps solve the Angels' hitting with runners in scoring position problem. Hey, wait a minute... we talked about that MONTHS AGO! We'll tell you what we said previously and why that point still stands this season!
