Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels seem to be in a place of contention and may be buyers at the deadline, and for today's Fanmail Friday, you asked about potential moves they could make! Will they be in for more bullpen help? Will they look to a starter like Shane Bieber or Marcus Stroman? What's going on with Mike Trout and his slump? Has he ever stepped up when it counts? Well, of course he has, but Jon and Mike have the numbers to remind you that Trout's worst slump of his career is exactly that: a slump. We've got all of this and much more on Fanmail Friday!

The Los Angeles Angels were given a terrific start from Reid Detmers on the mound on Wednesday night, but, unfortunately, a lack of delivering timely hits with runners on base and the B-Team bullpen blowing the lead led to a loss to the Texas Rangers. Despite Shohei Ohtani's big 2-run homer in the 9th, the Angels fell short of a comeback win. We'll tell you how it all went down in segment 1! Then, in order for the Angels to take the series against the Rangers, they'll have to go through Nathan Eovaldi, who was dominant the last time he faced the Halos. So, what's the key to success for the Angels to get to Eovaldi and take advantage of a not-so-great Rangers bullpen? We've got the solution in segment 2! Plus, as MLB inches closer to the trade deadline, it's starting to become clear that the Angels have needs that they can solve through trades. The question we're asking: can we trust GM Perry Minasian this trade deadline? Has he earned the trust of fans with the moves he's made so far, and if the Angels are in it to win it, can he pull of a big trade when it matters most? We'll discuss in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels took the second game of the Texas Rangers series in a 7-3 victory on Tuesday night, now winning their last 8 out of 9 games! Despite a difficult start from Jaime Barria, his teammates picked him up and got the Halos the lead, thanks to a Hunter Renfroe 2-run go-ahead home run and Zach Neto piling on more runs in the 9th with his own 2-run homer! Mike and Jon have a full recap of the game in segment 1! Then, there's been some concerns around Shohei Ohtani's performance on the mound this year, and the Super Halo Bros. take a look at four possibilities as to why he might be having a harder time in 2023. We'll give you the reasons and share what we think has led to the fatigue Ohtani has been experiencing in segment 2! Plus, would you start Taylor Ward over Mickey Moniak more? We would, and it's not because we don't want to see Moniak play; there's some interesting stats behind our choice that actually speaks to what's best for both guys! We'll explain in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels showed up in Texas to take on the Rangers on Monday night, and they set the tone for how important this series is going to be with an INCREDIBLE win in extras! Shohei Ohtani led the way with 2 CLUTCH home runs, becoming the AL leader in homers in the process! The Halos needed all hands on deck to win this one, as the bullpen pitched 6 strong innings, Chad Wallach added on 2 runs with a BIG homer, Taylor Ward had to play 1st, Brandon Drury got ejected, and Mike Trout stole a base! This game was insane, and we're covering it all in segment 1! Then, Jared Walsh has struggled at the plate, but where would it be best for him to figure it out? Does he need a trip to the minors, or should he stay with the big club? Jon and Mike explain where they think he should figure it out and why in segment 2! Plus, Locked On A's host Jason Burke explains the A's Reverse Boycott happening tonight in Oakland! It's something every baseball fan should be informed about, so Jason provides his insight into what's been happening, and Mike and Jon respond in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels took 2 out 3 from their AL West Rivals, the Seattle Mariners, this weekend, and we're here to recap the entire series! Shohei Ohtani was on the mound on Friday, but he did the most damage with his bat, and Mickey Moniak put this one away with a big home run against Luis Castillo! Shoutout to Jacob Webb, who replaced an injured Ben Joyce and locked it down as well! Ohtani said he didn't feel well after the game, and we've got some thoughts to share in segment 1! Then, the Angels dropped game 2 of the series, as the Mariners piled on hit after hit against Patrick Sandoval, who just couldn't seem to locate his pitches at the velocity he wanted. The big story of the game was home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi's terrible strike 3 call on Shohei, which got Phil Nevin ejected after he gave Cuzzi a piece of his mind. We've got the full story in segment 2! Plus, game 3 saw Griffin Canning earn the win and Zach Neto have his first multi-homer game! Add-on runs late in the game were crucial and saved Carlos Estevez from needing to close out the game, and Matt Thaiss had 3 big RBIs in this one! We'll give you all the details about this game in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels made it three wins in a row on Wednesday night, after Jaime Barria went 5 innings and the bullpen of Ben Joyce, Aaron Loup (what??), and Sam Bachman no-hit the Cubs the rest of the way! Mike Trout homered and made plays in Center Field like it was 2012 again, and Luis Rengifo and Mickey Moniak added on the runs to give the Halos a 6-2 Victory! Mike and Jon have the recap for you in segment 1! Then, there's been a lot of conversation about the Angels needing a closed-door meeting, especially after the Astros series. If they were to have one, who would be the leader of the locker room to guide the conversation? The answer might surprise you! We'll tell you who it is and what they should talk about in segment 2! Plus, the big topic of conversation right now is how valuable Anthony Rendon's return to the lineup is and why he helps solve the Angels' hitting with runners in scoring position problem. Hey, wait a minute... we talked about that MONTHS AGO! We'll tell you what we said previously and why that point still stands this season!

The Los Angeles Angels got the win on Tuesday night over the Chicago Cubs, thanks to the heavy-hitters driving in runs when they needed it most and picking up a tough start from Tyler Anderson.

We'll give you a breakdown of the game in segment 1! Then, in segments 2 and 3, Mike and Jon share their personal experiences from the game, and Mike needs YOUR help in solving a mystery!

The Los Angeles Angels were able to walk away from May with a winning record, thanks to some surprising pitching performances and 2 sweeps. Today, we're diving into the good, the bad, and the ugly from last month and discussing what went well, what didn't, and what was downright terrible. In segment 1, we're highlighting the Angels sweeping the Cardinals and Red Sox, Mickey Moniak's arrival, and the surprising starting pitching performances from Griffin Canning and Jaime Barria! In segment 2, we take a look at the bad; not exactly the worst parts of the month, but the things that were disappointing overall. The Angels had opportunities to show up against their AL West rivals but failed to deliver, and we compare Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani's stats from April to May. Then, in segment 3, we talk about the UGLY. The Angels got swept, costly on-field errors were the story of the month, and a lack of production with runners in scoring position haunted the Halos all month long. Plus, Rendon went on the IL in what was supposed to be a short stint, and he isn't returning until this week. What's up with that? We'll tell you all about the ugly in this one!

The Los Angeles Angels did not have a successful weekend in Houston against the Astros this weekend, as they only took 1 out of the 4 games after 3 games of pitching struggles, a lack of delivering in scoring opportunities, and more. Game 1 on Thursday saw Reid Detmers struggle to finish the at-bat despite being up 0-2 on a hitter several times. Is this Detmers issue, a coaching issue, or something else? Jon and Mike share their thoughts on why this struggle keeps happening, and they also discuss the horribly missed call by the umpire against Taylor Ward in segment 1. Then, the Super Halo Bros. discuss Friday and Saturday's games, which saw two more losses for the Halos. Shohei Ohtani was on the mound Friday, but did not have a winning performance after surrendering two home runs and 5 earned runs total. The sweeper still seems to be giving him trouble, and we discuss why. On Saturday, Patrick Sandoval's start was cut short, and Jon thinks he knows why. While Ohtani almost hit for the cycle on Saturday, the rest of the offense fell short in mounting a comeback against the Astros. We'll break it down for you in segment 2! Plus, Sunday saw the Angels finally salvage a win in a tightly-pitched ballgame, as Griffin Canning delivered another strong start followed by Chris Devenski and Carlos Estevez keeping the Astros off the board. It was Luis Rengifo who broke up a no-hitter in the 5th with a solo home run, and Shohei Ohtani driving in the go-ahead RBI with Zach Neto on base! That's all it took to keep the Halos from walking away winless this weekend. We'll give you all the details in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels win the series against the Chicago White Sox after a day where the bats came to life! Mike Trout started it all with a 2-run homer, and Shohei Ohtani delivered TWO 2-run homers, while Taylor Ward and Chad Wallach also got in on the home run party! Jared Walsh had an excellent game as well, and his bat is starting to come around, and it all came on the back of an excellent start from Jaime Barria who went 5 innings pitched with 1 run. We'll tell you why we're excited to see the bats get hot after yesterday's win in segment 1! Then, with our hope of the Angels securing at least 15 wins a month so that they can get to at least 90 by season's end, we're looking ahead at what's in store in the month of June. Some tough AL West division series take place through June, as well as some winnable series against teams that the Angels should be winning against. Will the Angels make it to 15 wins or more in June? We'll tell you our thoughts and Jon will share why he thinks this team is different than they've been in April and May. Plus, how do you feel about booing? Does it do a good job at voicing your displeasure with a player, team, or even Arte Moreno? Mike and Jon share their thoughts on if booing is helpful or motivational to a player, and Jon shares why fans should be more selective with their boos!

The Los Angeles Angels dropped game 2 of the series to the Chicago White Sox, after Tyler Anderson surrendered 5 runs in the 4th. The Halos weren't able to mount any offense outside of the 3 runs they had at that point courtesy of Shohei Ohtani, Taylor Ward, and Gio Urshela. Chase Silseth, Sam Bachman, and Aaron Loup played the mop-up role, but the Angels were unable to answer back against the Sox bullpen. We're asking the question; will the Angels regret the Tyler Anderson signing, or was this just a clunker of a start? We'll talk about it in segment 1! Then, what kind of impact does Anthony Rendon being in the lineup make for guys like Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout? Does his presence influence the performance of the Angels' superstars? We're asking that question and providing an answer with the numbers to back it up. What conclusion do we come to? We'll share it with you in segment 2! Plus, with Mickey Moniak's arrival displacing Ward's time in left field, Angel fans have been asking whether or not Moniak should be getting more of the starts. Does Jo Adell factor into the equation as well? We'll tell you how we think the Halos should handle the left field position in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels right the ship on Monday night against the Chicago White Sox on the back of a strong start from Griffin Canning and a debuting Ben Joyce! It was an exciting night all around, as Liam Hendriks made his return to the Sox after beating cancer, and he received a huge ovation from everyone in the stadium. Zach Neto had an incredible game at shortstop, making play after play, and Matt Thaiss had himself a great night as well, going back-to-back with Brandon Drury for a homer! We'll break down the game and give you all the highlights in segment 1! Then, we're diving deeper into Ben Joyce's debut, what makes us excited to see him out of the bullpen, and where we should set our expectations for him! He brings a lot of much-needed heat to this bullpen, and we'll give our thoughts on Joyce in segment 2! Plus, Griffin Canning has had a strong start to the season after a year and a half away from the bigs, and his last two outings have been especially impressive. What's changed with Canning since he's made his return? Mike and Jon share their observations and dive into the numbers in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels were swept by the Miami Marlins this past weekend, and while game 1 saw them come up against challenging starting pitching in the form of Jesus Luzardo, games 2 and 3 saw multiple chances to score, multiple chances to have a shutdown inning, and multiple bad decisions that led to the Halos dropping 3 in a row. With Sam Bachman and Ben Joyce joining Chase Silseth in the bullpen, will they be reliable enough now that Matt Moore is going to the IL? What was up with the issues on Saturday night that cost the Halos horribly, including a double play where Matt Thaiss wasn't touching home plate? We'll get into what was good, what was bad, and what went horribly wrong for Phil Nevin and the Angels this past weekend. GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!
