Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

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 couldn't tame the Detroit Tigers for the sweep on Wednesday, thanks to a good ol' fashioned buttercup from Jose Quijada, who gave up two home runs in 2/3rds of an inning. Mike Trout homered for the fourth straight game, and Shohei Ohtani and Matt Thaiss also homered. Patrick Sandoval wasn't quite as effective, but the daytime heat certainly impacted his outing.

The Los Angeles Angels are set to have one of the more interesting offseasons after the 2022 season wraps up, and it's certainly going to center around Shohei Ohtani. After the Seattle Mariners handed their young rookie superstar Julio Rodriguez one of the most incentivized contracts in MLB history, Mike and Jon wonder if the Halos might offer a similar contract structure to Shohei.

We look at why it could work, and why it definitely shouldn't happen. Plus, we look at the Angels' schedule for 2023 and some of the intriguing matchups happening next season!
