Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels played some sloppy baseball against the Texas Rangers, though there were some positives to take away in the 7-2 loss. Tucker Davidson went 5 innings, surrendering 3 runs, and Taylor Ward hit a 2-run home run and continues to return to form. We'll break down all you need to know in segment 1!

Then, Jon Heyman of the NY Post certainly has a lot to say about Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani's MVP race, with much of his disparaging comments revolving around a perceived "West Coast Bias." So we ask; is there a West Coast Bias? You might be surprised to find that yes, we think so, and we'll tell you why, and why MLB has failed in a big way.

Plus, Kurt Suzuki announced that he will retire at the end of the season, so we take the time to share our thoughts and how we will remember the 16-year veteran catcher!

The Los Angeles Angels took game 1 of a three-game set against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday, as they received some help from the middle of the order in the form of Matt Duffy, Jo Adell, Mike Ford, and Taylor Ward! Patrick Sandoval pitched 5 innings and looked shaky at times, but the Halos were able to get him his 6th win of the season. Mike and Jon will recap "Tuesday in Texas" in segment 1!

Then, get to know the Angels' new shortstop callup, Liván Soto! He's a promising young fielder who is getting his chance to shine in the absence of David Fletcher and Andrew Velazquez with two weeks of the season left. We'll share our thoughts on Soto in segment 2!

Plus, the Halos' OPS at each position has not been great, except for Center Field and DH (Gee, I wonder why?). We'll give you the stats and share our perspective on if the Angels should seek improvements at those positions or if the players filling the role will get better in 2023!

The Los Angeles Angels were swept by the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, and another losing season is in the books. While it's a disappointing result, there were some positives to find in this game, including Patrick Sandoval's start and Mickey Moniak's home run, and Mike and Jon will help you cope with the loss and what to look forward to from some of our strong players.

Then, we take a look at the news about Andrew Velazquez's knee injury and discuss the decision to bat exclusively right-handed. How have the results been so far? We'll share our thoughts and if it adds value to Squid's place on the roster!

Plus, we pull our best Marvel and discuss 3 "What If?" scenarios! What if Taylor Ward hadn't gotten hurt? What if Anthony Rendon played a full season? What if Joe Maddon stayed the manager? We'll discuss each and how it might've changed the Angels' season!

The Los Angeles Angels drop game 1 of this series against the Cleveland Guardians despite another home run from Mike Trout and Matt Duffy's first of the year! Mike Trout is aiming to put his name in the record books, as he's only one away from tieing the best at 8 in a row. We'll break down the performances from Trout, Reid Detmers, and the bizarre ejections along the way!

Then, we'll take a look at the new rules to be implemented in 2023. How do we feel about the pitch clock, bigger bases, and most importantly, the ban on the defensive shift? We'll share our thoughts and how they might affect the Angels in 2023.

Plus, Anthony Rendon could be on his way back soon, and Mike and Jon share why it would be great to have him back before the season ends!
