Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

We dive into all of the Angels baseball, or lack thereof, over the weekend in Anaheim. After a superb and exciting win against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night at Angel Stadium, the remaining two games were postponed due to positive COVID tests for the Twins. So instead of talking about multiple games, we discuss the one lone game, albeit a very exciting one. In the second part of the episode, we preview the upcoming series vs the Rangers, COVID restrictions notwithstanding. -You can follow Brent on Twitter at @bmags94, the podcast at @LockedOnAngels, and Brent's written work at Crashing the Pearly Gates -Highlight audio courtesy of Major League Baseball and Bally Sports West Learn more about your ad choices.
