Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels announced Wednesday that they aren't trading Shohei Ohtani, and it certainly seemed to infuse the team with a fire we've been needing! The Halos swept the Detroit Tigers after taking both games of the doubleheader on Thursday, and it began with a complete-game shutout from Shohei Ohtani on the mound! With his dominant 1-hit performance and homers supplied from Taylor Ward and 3 RBIs from Trey Cabbage, Ohtani cruised to the end of the game on 111 pitches! In Game 2, the Angels continued to add on the offense with homers from not one but TWO Shohei Ohtani home runs, Hunter Renfroe and Eduardo Escobar hitting homers of their own, and Luis Rengifo tripling his way to some RBIs! We've got the details of both games and Shohei Ohtani's thoughts on staying with the Angels in segments 2 and 3! Plus, don't miss our first conversation of the day, as we break down the Angels trade for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez! What did the Halos give up in Edgar Quero and Ky Bush in order to add to the rotation and bullpen? We'll give you our thoughts in segment 1!

The Los Angeles Angels have traded for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez from the Chicago White Sox! Although today's episode started with the news that Shohei Ohtani isn't being traded and we discussed the possible trade chips the Angels have, our REAL-TIME Reaction can be seen at the end of segment 3! Check out our initial response there! Regarding Shohei Ohtani and the Halos' decision not to move him, Mike and Jon share the news that came out late Wednesday night and their responses to it. What does it mean for the remainder of the season? What does it mean for Arte Moreno and his ownership? We'll talk about it in segment 1! Then, in segments 2 & 3 (before the Giolito and Lopez news), Mike and Jon discuss the possible trade candidates the Angels could use to acquire the necessary upgrades they need to make a playoff run. We'll talk Taylor Ward, Hunter Renfroe, and many more (including the ones who got traded, Edgar Quero and Ky Bush)! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels have a way of keeping their fans on the edge of their seat and raising their blood pressure! Fortunately, the Halos were able to come away with the win on Tuesday against the Tigers, 7-6! After a nice start from Griffin Canning and some big RBIs from Mike Moustakas, Taylor Ward, and Luis Rengifo, Carlos Estevez struggled to finish the game in the 9th, and a Rengifo error and a misplay from Mickey Moniak tied it in the 6th. Moniak drove in the winning run in the 10th, and Aaron Loup shut the game down! We've got a recap of the wild game in segment 1! Then, did we miss a key reason why Hunter Renfroe has been part of 5 different teams over the last 5 years? Mike and Jon examine his career stats versus this year and identify why Renfroe hasn't had a long-term deal with a team in segment 2. Plus, it's understandable why there's a lot of Shohei Ohtani trade talk out there; he's the biggest star in sports right now. But, that doesn't mean there aren't some straight-up DUMB takes out there, and the Super Halo Bros. are here to pick them apart in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels have had a ton of questions surrounding the organization regarding if they will be selling and trading Shohei Ohtani this MLB Trade Deadline. BUT, if the Angels were to become buyers after a successful run, who could they target to help improve the team? In segment 1, we'll take a look at the obvious choices, such as starting pitchers Marcus Stroman, Lucas Giolito, and Blake Snell. We'll also take a look at the big bullpen names who could be moving, like Jordan Hicks and David Robertson! Would any of the big names out there be a good fit for the Halos? Mike and Jon will break it down in segment 1! Then, what if the Angels got creative with their trade targets? Perhaps if they are using some of their future prospects, they could make a deal that would yield a return of players with more control? We'll take a look at names like Jonathan India and Mitch Keller in segment 2! Plus, are there any dark horse trade candidates the Angels could go after? We've got a list of names that might be flying under the radar, and you may be surprised by Jon and Mike's final trade target in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels took the weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning 2 out of 3 on a throwback weekend! Despite facing some struggles on the mound, Shohei Ohtani showcased his resilience as the Angels clinched a hard-fought victory against the Pirates. Mike and Jon analyze Ohtani's performance and discuss how the team rallied around their star player. Then, in segment 2, we discuss Game 2, where, unfortunately, the team encountered difficulties converting scoring opportunities during the game, blowing not just one but two bases loaded situations. The brothers break down the critical moments, analyzing what could have been done differently and how the Halos need to overcome their mistakes and careless errors. Plus, we delve into how Anderson delivered one of his best starts of the year, providing the team with a solid foundation and a chance to secure the victory. Offense came from some unlikely places in Luis Rengifo and Andrew Velazquez, and Shohei Ohtani hit is 36th homer of the season! We'll break it all down for you in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels gain some ground in the Wildcard standings thanks to a win and series victory over the New York Yankees! Patrick Sandoval shoved in this one, going 7.1 innings and getting the 8th after some conversing with Phil Nevin. It was a great moment in the game, in addition to Mickey Moniak's 2-run home run and Shohei Ohtani driving in Zach Neto with a triple and being driven in by Mickey Moniak! We've got a recap of what went well for the Halos last night in segment 1! Then, we compare starting pitching in 2022 vs. 2023 and the results they've had. What are the changes, and what has possibly caused them? Is it the catcher behind the dish, Matt Wise, or the pitch clock? We'll discuss in segment 2! Plus, Sam Blum of The Athletic had a very interesting article regarding how the Angels players are operating with the cloud of Shohei Ohtani trade talk hanging over them. We'll share what the players said and what the Angels can do despite the conversation in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels live to fight another day, as Matt Thaiss and Shohei Ohtani homer and Michael Stefanic walks it off against the Yankees in extra innings! Griffin Canning struck out 12 on 120 pitches, holding it down for the Halos and setting up the team for a win. Shohei's epic game-tieing home run came with an even more epic bat flip! Aaron Loup kept the ghost runner from scoring, and Michael Stefanic came up clutch to win it! We've got all the details in segment 1! Then, Zach Neto's father shared a photo on Twitter that demonstrated Zach's passion for the game and the kind of leadership that the Angels have been in need of the past few years. Is Zach Neto someone who could step up as a locker room leader and infuse the Halos with some fire? We'll discuss it all in segment 2! Plus, how many leads have the Angels given their pitchers, only for the guy on the mound to give it right back the next inning? Jon and Mike have the answers, and no, you haven't been imagining it; they've got the number of times it's happened so far this season in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels had the chance to take fate into their own hands this past weekend, coming out of the All-Star Break facing the Houston Astros who currently sit ahead of them in the Wildcard standings and gain some ground. Unfortunately, the weekend resulted in a series loss on Sunday with some bad bullpen decisions from Phil Nevin, after losing on Friday and working an epic comeback win on Saturday night. Trey Cabbage arrived, Matt Moore returned, Zach Neto came back, and the Angels had a leader in Mike Moustakas play a pivotal role in helping this team show some fight. So, after this weekend, where do things stand? Mike and Jon, the Super Halo Bros., are here to recap the weekend series and bring you up to speed on all things Halos.

The Los Angeles Angels have a tough road ahead if they have any playoff hopes in 2023, and in segment 1, we're taking a look at Jeff Fletcher's article for the OC Register on the Halos' comments about the 2nd half of the season. Can they be the 2021 Braves and find a way to overcome injuries and make a push in the remainder of the season? We'll dive into the player comments and statements from Phil Nevin to start the show! Then, Shohei Ohtani remains the talk of baseball and all of sports, and after his incredible June, we're asking which Ohtani the Angels will need more of in the second half. Will the Halos benefit from Shohei the pitcher or Shohei the hitter more? We discuss and share our thoughts in segment 2! Plus, with question marks around many of the Angels starters headed into the weekend, how can the Halos walk away with a series win against the Astros? Mike and Jon have their keys to a winning weekend in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels were represented at the MLB All-Star Game by none other than Shohei Ohtani and Carlos Estevez on Tuesday night! All eyes were on Ohtani as he was asked about his future in Anaheim, while Carlos Estevez had a clean 1-2-3 inning with 2 Ks in the 5th! It was exciting to see those two deserving stars represent the Halos well, and Mike and Jon discuss all the sights and sounds from Tuesday, including Shohei's comments to the media in segment 1! Then, in segments 2 and 3, we're asking the tough questions regarding the Halos' season and providing our gut reactions. Will Ohtani be traded? Will the Angels rebuild or reload? Do they have any playoff hopes with the remaining 71 games? We'll give you our thoughts and answers on today's show! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels selected Nolan Schanuel as their number-one pick in the 2023 MLB Draft! Schanuel figures to be a corner infielder and possibly a corner outfielder who controls the strike zone well and makes significant contact. We'll give you our thoughts on the new Halo and discuss if he will join the likes of Zach Neto, Sam Bachman, and Reid Detmers on the fast track to the Majors in segment 1! Then, the Angels selected their round 3 through 10 picks on Monday, and Mike and Jon have a rundown of each player they've chosen! From more great contact hitters to high-ceiling relievers, we'll give you the highlights of each new Angel and where they stand to make an impact in the future! Finally, what do the Angels' draft selections tell us about their draft philosophy so far, and what do the selections of college players who are near-ready to make an impact in the Majors tell us about the Angels' farm system? The Super Halo Bros. explain why they think the Angels have drafted the way they have so far and what it says about the team's future.

The Los Angeles Angels finished the first half of the season under .500 once again, and it came over the weekend in a pitiful series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Starting pitching failed, Jo Adell got hurt after 1 AB, and the Halos could do nothing but limp to the finish line before their much-needed All-Star Break. In segments 1 and 2, we're recapping what happened on Friday and Saturday in LA, and we'll share our thoughts on what's gone wrong with this team. Then, where do the Angels go from here? What will change, can change, and needs to change? Mike and Jon look ahead to the remainder of the season and discuss what their outlook of the Angels is for 2023.
