Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

Justin Turner hit two home runs and drove in all three Dodger runs to lead them against the Padres in the first game of a four-game series. Chris Taylor added a big defensive play to help keep the Padres to one run. Mitch White picked up some big innings for the Dodgers. Despite the win, there were some negatives that have been a theme for the Dodgers including Gavin Lux's defense and the team challenging plays. The guys finish the episode talking about Mookie Betts' recovery and some other news and notes.

The Dodgers were able to avoid being swept thanks to a strong offensive showing and a good enough start from Julio Urias. Jake Lamb looked good in his first start, and the top of the Dodgers order drove in five runs. There was more Freddie Freeman 'drama' that Vince dismissed and discussed. There was some other potential drama with some comments by Caleb Ferguson about his latest IL stint. Then Vince finishes the episode by talking about the upcoming series with the Padres.

The good news is, the Los Angeles Dodgers did NOT get shut out at Coors Field on Tuesday night. The bad news is, they lost again, behind one of the worst pitching performances we've seen from Clayton Kershaw in a long time and some more lackluster offense. Jeff is here to talk about Kershaw's night, a theory on why the Dodgers might struggle at Coors and in extra innings, and how frustrating it can be to see certain players in the lineup sometimes.

The Dodgers were shut out by Chad Kuhl on Monday in Colorado. The team didn't make any excuses but the guys were able to make some slight justifications for the performance. Then they talked about lineup construction, mostly surrounding Gavin Lux and his spot in order. Ending the episode was an update on the latest All-Star fan voting and which Dodgers deserve to be in the All-Star Game.

Freddie Freeman returned to Atlanta and showed a lot of emotions throughout the weekend. Some believed it may have been too much but does that really matter? Jeff and Vince talk about that, and talk about Daniel Hudson's ACL tear that leaves the Dodgers bullpen in a rough state. The episode ends with some praise for Gavin Lux and 'Leadoff' Trea Turner.

The Los Angeles Dodgers completed their three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds with a 10-5 victory on Thursday afternoon. The usual suspects contributed — Trea Turner had three hits, Will Smith homered again, and Freddie Freeman had two more hits and another homer — but they also got contributions from some of the strugglers, with three-hit games from each of Justin Turner, Max Muncy, and Cody Bellinger and homers from the last two. Clayton Kershaw threw six innings of one-run ball to lower his season ERA to 2.00, and Jeff is here to talk about seeing a legend live and in person. We also talk about whether Trayce Thompson will start for the Dodgers against reverse-split righty Ian Anderson on Friday in Atlanta, and who might replace Hanser Alberto as the right-handed bench player later in the season.

Freddie Freeman homered and drove in two runs as the Dodgers scored eight runs again to defeat the Reds. Tyler Anderson didn't have his best start of the season but did enough to keep the Dodgers in the game. Stefen Romero was called up with Hanser Alberto going on the paternity list and it begged a few questions about Jake Lamb. Finally, has the Dodgers season been "painful" to watch? At least one person thinks so but Vince shows why that may be some recency bias.

Freddie Freeman drove in five and the Dodgers offense scored eight to help Tony Gonsolin improve to 9-0. It wasn't Gonsolin's best start of the year but he did enough to get through five innings. That decision to pull him may have been one with the future in mind. Jeff goes on a rant about sacrifice bunts despite agreeing with the Dodgers' sac bunt in the game. Then the guys talk offense again.

The Dodgers traded for an outfielder on Monday, acquiring Trayce Thompson from the Tigers for cash considerations. The guys talk about his addition and then take questions from listeners. In the mailbag, the questions ranged from Justin Turner to offseason regrets and more!

Mookie Betts has a cracked rib and will miss some time for the Dodgers. It leaves them with just two legitimate outfielders and a hole in the lineup. Who are some options to come and play outfield in Los Angeles? Also, Andrew Heaney looked really good in his return and Craig Kimbrel still can't figure things out. What's the plan moving forward with Kimbrel?
