Ryan and Beau celebrate a record-breaking regular season for the Dodgers and are fed up with fans who refuse to appreciate it. Have some confidence in the best team in baseball. A long lost friend may pop up on the postseason roster, and Craig Kimbrel hopefully will not. The Padres beating the Mets could pose both a best-case and worst-case scenario for the Dodgers. Good on Padres fans for being willing to humiliate themselves in a pathetic attempt to take a shot at the Dodgers. Plus, Aaron Judge had an incredible season, but stop acting like 62 is more than 73.

Ryan and Beau return after the Dodgers put the finishing touches on a dominant summer by clinching their 9th NL West title in the last decade. If you want a Craig Kimbrel complaint-fest, look elsewhere, as Kimbrel's new Frozen form may be a sign of good things to come. The guys preview the 26-man playoff roster. Plus, Trayce Thompson is more than deserving of an everyday role at this point.
Ryan and Beau pay tribute to the legendary Vin Scully. Ryan revisits a story he told on the first episode of Swing Shift, the time he met Vin. The San Diego Padres won the trade deadline, but the Dodgers are the only ones who have been winning games since then. Chris Martin and Joey Gallo were the result of a surprisingly, yet also understandably, inactive deadline for the Dodgers. Plus, depth is back, Muncy might be back, and Morosi was right.
MLB Network's Jon Paul Morosi joins Ryan and Beau to discuss the biggest names that may or may not be moved at the trade deadline. JP gives the latest on Juan Soto, including why he believes the Dodgers are not the most likely NL West landing spot, and why Soto will not get an extension regardless of where he lands. Plus, JP breaks down why the Angels will hang on to Shohei Ohtani until he hits free agency, and highlights the pitching trade market headlined by Luis Castillo.

Ryan and Beau look back on the month of June for the Dodgers, where things actually went better than they seemed. Freddie Freeman fired his agent after his emotional return to Atlanta, and somehow Doug Gottlieb found himself in the middle of the drama. As 2 guys who work with Doug, Ryan and Beau have a deeper perspective on why you shouldn't dismiss Gottlieb's report on Freeman's situation. Starting pitching is shining, as the bullpen continues to get its bumps and bruises. Plus, the best kept secret of Dodger Stadium, jealousy of other City Connect jerseys, and put Austin Barnes in the Home Run Derby.
Ryan and Beau look back on the last month of Dodger baseball, highlighted by much success against any team not named the Pittsburgh Pirates. Walker Buehler is hitting some growing pains, but it shouldn't be a big deal... right? Injuries and struggles from Craig Kimbrel and Brusdar Graterol have caused the bullpen to come back down to Earth; however, Andrew Friedman's strategy in building the pen is still the way to go. Plus, the Swing Shift curse is alive and well, and the world needs more Tim Andersons and a lot less terrible Star Wars fans.
Ryan and Beau (now a father!) are back for a third season of Swing Shift. The Dodgers are already showing their ability to be the best team in baseball, and the pitching staff is giving numbers unlike anything we've ever seen. Clayton Kershaw is making everyone happy. Blake Treinen will be out until the second half of the season, but the Dodgers already have a suitable replacement in the pen. There are reasons to not be concerned about Max Muncy, but major reasons to be concerned about Justin Turner. The guys spoil the hell out of Doctor Strange 2. Plus, don't let the door hit you on the way out Trevor!
Scott Geirman of DodgerBlue.com joins Ryan and Beau to help break down the pros and cons of the swap of AJ Pollock for Craig Kimbrel. Ryan has discovered just how much he hates Spring Training. What should be made of the Cody Bellinger's struggles in the Spring? Scott gives insight on what to expect from Andrew Heaney, David Price, and Tyler Anderson this year. Jake Lamb missing the Opening Day roster is actually a good sign. Plus, Dave Roberts getting an extension is good and well-deserved, despite how much you may not like it.

Ryan and Beau find some positivity in the worst period for baseball in recent history. Los Angeles does, and should, care that the Rams won a title. The latest Freddie Freeman rumor reactions might actually be more than wishful thinking. Rob Manfred is lying to your face. Nothing should change in regards to Trevor Bauer. Plus, Clayton Kershaw optimism, an MLB team in Portland, and therapeutic vomiting.
