Swing Shift with Ryan and Beau

Even though the Dodgers SHOULD win it all this year, Ryan and Beau are primed and ready for some all-too-familiar October anxiety and disappointment. The guys share their best and worst moments from watching the postseason. The Brewers are the first (and hopefully not last!) opponent in this stupid 16-team bracket. What to watch for in the series, what the roster will be like, and what to do with Kenley Jansen. And hey, maybe the Lakers will make us all happy at least?

The Dodgers are tired, and we're tired of people freaking out about it. A.J. Pollock is following the Juan Uribe story arc. The Dodgers are determined to blow up the MLB playoff bubble (as they should). A full NFL season preview. Why the NFC West will be the best division in the NFL. Plus, Star Wars actors hate their own movies and it's everyone's fault but theirs.

So long and best of luck, Ross Stripling (however, as a Dodgers podcast, we now have a little less competition so yay for us!). Congratulations to the 2020 Trade Deadline Champions, the San Diego Padres. Chadwick Boseman was so good that he shined in a movie as dumb as "Draft Day." Step into a time capsule with us after a viewing of the 1999 VMA's. Plus, #PrayForBeau as he decides to try skateboarding again.

Justin Lorber, better known by the Twitter handle @FutureDodgers, is one of the sharpest fan evaluators of prospects and draft classes around. You can find his complete rankings and articles at futuredodgers.wordpress.com.

Ryan and Beau attempt to kill every negative stereotype about Los Angeles sports fans. The guys pinpoint why everyone mocks Dodger fans for leaving games early when it also happens literally everywhere else. Major League Baseball still sucks at promoting their game. Of course Mookie Betts should always bat lead off. Plus, Don Mattingly gives a shining example as to why networks need to stop pumping in crowd noise.

Bernie Fratto is a longtime sports talk radio host and sports betting expert who hosts Straight Outta Vegas on Saturday nights on Fox Sports Radio. Bernie is an award-winning TED Talk speaker who moved to Las Vegas after a storied career in Detroit sports radio.

Bernie discusses the scope of his career in sports talk radio and what led him to becoming one of the finest minds in sports betting today. Bernie explains why he chose the Dodgers to win it all this year, but gives some Vegas insight that should have you concerned for the expanded postseason. Bernie gives the most important thing to know for sports bettors, talks the growth of legalized sports betting and the state of Las Vegas throughout the pandemic, and bonds with Ryan over their mutual admiration for Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

Free Joe Kelly. Free Joc. F the Astros. Watch Watchmen.

Ryan and Beau give a full season preview, with playoff and award predictions, and apparently we have to put 16 teams in the playoffs now. Mookie Betts is about to be a Dodger for life and everything about that is wonderful. Gavin Lux being optioned is defensible, shady, and all too beneficial. Plus, the guys have identified the single worst Star Wars opinions that ever existed.

We’re talkin bout practice. Losing David Price is bad, actually (but players should do whatever is in their best interest, I don’t blame them, I wouldn’t play). What does the rotation look like now? The Diamondbacks really want the Dodgers to care about them. Plus, tales of coronavirus testing, a literary analysis of The Fast and The Furious, Supermarket Sweep must be revived, #FreeWoj, and Yellowcard sues a dead man.

This is a baseball podcast again, everything is fine. Ryan and Beau look at the upcoming season and break down something new they love, something new they hate, and the inconvenient truth of the whole situation. What do the Dodgers look like with a DH? Bubba Wallace is not Jussie Smollett, you idiots, and Splash Mountain changing is a good thing, you idiots.
