Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels may have taken the loss, but there was plenty to be excited about in game 162, including Shohei Ohtani qualifying as a league leader for both hitting and pitching, the ONLY player in MLB history to do so! In addition, Mike Trout hit a 490-foot home run for his 40th of the year, joining some great company. We'll share about the game and Shohei's start on the mound in segment 1!

Then, we got the breaking news that Phil Nevin will return as manager next season on a one-year deal! What does this mean for the Halos moving forward, and how will he do? We'll share our thoughts on the decision and provide our perspective on Nevin getting a full season to manage.

Plus, Mike and Jon will share their 3 off-season priorities for the Angels. From acquisitions to coaching and much more, we'll share what the Halos need to focus on before next season.

The Los Angeles Angels and Oakland A's gave Kurt Suzuki a proper sendoff on Tuesday night in a special and emotional 1st inning. With this game, the longtime catcher began and ended his playing days in Oakland, and each team gave him the recognition he deserved along with a standing ovation from the fans in attendance. The Halos ended up losing this game in extras once again with a Ryan Tepera bases-loaded walk, but we did see some excellent performances from the likes of Michael Lorenzen on the mound. We'll cover last night's game in segment 1!

Then, the New York Mets recently called up the number-one prospect in all of baseball, Francisco Alvarez, who also happens to be a catcher like the Angels' Logan O'Hoppe. How do their stats compare? The answer may surprise and delight you!

Plus, the Angels will likely have $100 million to spend in the offseason if the luxury tax is the threshold for their budget, and Mike and Jon speculate whether or not they will spend or run it back with the young players on the team. Get our thoughts on how the offseason might go in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels saw the return of the dreaded Blowpen on Monday night against the Oakland A's, which was especially disappointing after Patrick Sandoval's incredible last start of the season. While the Angels took the loss in extras, we did see Sandoval go 6 innings and lower his ERA to 2.91 on the season, in addition to the return of Anthony Rendon and Shohei Ohtani extending his hit streak to 18 games! We'll cover all you need to know about last night's game in segment 1!

Then, what if June and July had been different for our Halos? Mike and Jon speculate on what could have been if the Angels had just gone .500 in those two months and where they would sit at the end of the season.

Plus, we give you an INCREDIBLE stat about Shohei Ohtani that truly demonstrates why he should win the AL MVP this season. We also discuss the question everyone seems to love to ask; if Shohei does this every year, does he win MVP every year?

The Los Angeles Angels and Shohei Ohtani reached an agreement of $30 million for the 2023 season, avoiding arbitration and showing a sign of good faith on both sides! Not only that, but Ohtani took a no-hitter into the 8th against the Oakland A's last week, proving his AL MVP case even further, and he continued his hit streak into Sunday with 17 games! Mike and Jon will give you all the Ohtani talk in segment 1!

Then, the Halos completed 2 sweeps in a row and won 7 games in a row, a season high! They battled the Texas Rangers and had stellar performances from Taylor Ward, Shohei, Logan O'Hoppe, Liván Soto, and Mike Trout, who hit his 39th home run of the season! The pitching was solid as well, with Reid Detmers finishing the year with a win and José Suarez taking a perfect game into the 7th inning on Saturday. We'll get you up to speed on all the details in segment 2.

Plus, it wouldn't be Monday without MONDAY MAILBAG! We'll give our coaching grades, discuss a future left fielder, and much more!

The Los Angeles Angels have some exciting young starting pitching, and they've taken impressive strides in 2022 that will set them up for success in 2023. One of those pitchers has been José Suarez, who Angel fans have seen grow and mature into a capable starting pitcher. From the beginning of the season until now, Suarez has made some improvements, and Mike and Jon are going to share what's changed and how his willingness to learn has led him to some late-season success!

Then, we ask, which of the Halos has the best connection with the fans? We'll share who we think does and also address the time and dedication Mike Trout gives to his adoring fans.

Plus, we usually share our players to watch this weekend, but with Logan O'Hoppe likely to have some more playing time this weekend against the Texas Rangers, we're both going all in on O'Hoppe! What do we want to see from the Angels' #1 prospect? We'll share our thoughts in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels win a neck-and-neck game against the Oakland A's thanks to some heroics from Jo Adell, robbing a home run and hitting the go-ahead home run! It was a good showing for the Halos' young star, and one that he truly needed. Patrick Sandoval went pitch for pitch with James Kaprielian, who has had the Angels' number in the past, and Shohei Ohtani extended his hitting streak to 12 games! We'll break down all the details from last night's game in segment 1!

Then, a story about Zach Neto out of AA inspires hope in the Super Halo Bros. about the future of the team and having a winning attitude! We'll share the story with you and speculate on what it means for our Halos.

Plus, Mike Trout was recently asked who is on his Mt. Rushmore of current outfielders, and it got us thinking about our Mt. Rushmore of Angels players, modern-day and all-time! Who would go on your Mt. Rushmore? Find out who's on ours in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels are hoping to finish the 2022 season strong, and the return of Mike Trout from the IL has certainly helped them do so! Mike Trout has been very impressive since his return and is now up to 37 home runs on the season despite the missed playing time from his back injury. Mike and Jon share their thoughts on his season and why he is still the greatest in the game.

Then, as Shohei Ohtani and the Angels enter into arbitration in the offseason, what will his contract look like for 2023? We look at the previous precedents set by other arbitration cases and ask if the Halos will work to sign Ohtani to an extension rather than arbitrate. We'll break down the conversation for you in segment 2!

Plus, with Albert Pujols hitting his incredible 700th home run in Los Angeles, his press conference comments raised a few eyebrows among Angel fans regarding his happiness in the game of baseball. Was what Albert said justified, or was it a clear shot at his former team? We'll share our thoughts on the matter in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels lose this series to the Texas Rangers with a final score of 5-3, thanks to the dreaded "Blowpen" rearing its ugly head.
