Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

With the Dodgers having a day off, the guys had a mailbag episode. The questions ranged from trade scenarios involving Shohei Ohtani, Tim Anderson and Corbin Burnes to questions about Diego Cartaya and a Will Smith extension. There was also some questions about Dodger Stadium, about left-handed pitchers, and more!

The Dodgers took the rubber match against the Giants behind a strong performance from Clayton Kershaw and a stronger offense led by Max Muncy. Kershaw's start was similar to Dustin May's from a night before but looks different thanks to the 10 runs scored on offense. Muncy hit two more homers against the Giants, and it appears his mechanical adjustment is working. Lastly, this was the first game over three hours for the Dodgers this season, so the guys get into a talk about the new pitch clock rules.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' bats went cold on Tuesday night as they got shut out by the Giants, 5-0. It ruined a solid, if frustrating, evening for Dustin May, who allowed just two runs in 5.1 innings and settled down after the first four batters of the game. Jeff is here to talk about May's night, the offense struggling, and having the Strikeout Brothers (Chris Taylor and Trayce Thompson) in the lineup together. Finally, we touch on "What if they just never swung the bat against Camilo Doval?" and "If the Dodgers had mounted a ninth-inning comeback, would Mookie Betts have played shortstop in the bottom of the inning?"

Max Muncy continued his ownership of the Giants, hitting two home runs and driving in seven runs in Monday night's win. Besides it being San Francisco, Muncy also went back to moving his foot back before his swing, and hopefully that leads to continued success. James Outman has earned Dave Roberts' trust against left-handed pitchers, and he earned that trust even more by drawing a key walk in the 6th inning. Lastly, Logan Webb was calling his own pitches with PitchCom and the guys were wondering if they like the way the Dodgers do it or if they want pitchers to be like Webb.

Dodgers pitching had a rough weekend in Arizona. After Dustin May's strong performance on Thursday, Dodgers pitchers allowed 29 runs in the final three games of the series. The concern level isn't super high yet but there are reasons for concern, especially in the bullpen. Lastly, how good are these Diamondbacks?

Dustin May had another solid outing and has looked the part of budding ace so far this season. Jeff does talk about his curveball usage after a Twitter discussion he had with a listener. Phil Bickford pitched a high-leverage inning in the win, but should it have been Evan Phillips in that situation? Lastly, Freddie Freeman is good. Sometimes we maybe forget that.

The Dodgers completed a mini-sweep of the Rockies on Tuesday behind a strong performance from Julio Urías. The left-hander re-added a cutter to his repertoire and it's looked good. Mookie Betts had a little injury scare but seems fine and has been really good at the plate and on defense at two positions. Lastly, Will Smith is playing like an MVP at the moment and that means the Dodgers need to keep his bat in the lineup as much as possible.

The Dodgers put up 13 runs and defeated the Rockies at Dodger Stadium. J.D. Martinez and Jason Heyward contributed offensively, and seemingly brought some extra joy to the dugout. Is this something the team can sustain? The umpire was bad for both sides, especially in the 5th inning, and that made Jeff rant about umpires and 'robot umps.' Lastly, Max Muncy is struggling so far. What's the concern level there?

The Dodgers ended up outscoring the DBacks by 13 runs but only went 2-2 in the actual games. The starting pitching was very, very good and efficient. Miguel Vargas and James Outman brought a fun element to the bottom of the lineup, and were solid on defense. Lastly, Alex Vesia and Brusdar Graterol struggled but it shouldn't be an indictment of things to come for either of them.

Will Smith drove in four runs, James Outman homered and the Dodgers comfortably handled the Diamondbacks on Opening Day. Julio Urías struggled early but settled in, and the Dodgers offense delivered all night.

The Dodgers announced their Opening Day roster, and there are some notable decisions with the starting pitching and the bullpen. There's also a logjam in the outfield. Jeff is here to talk about Ryan Pepiot getting the nod as the fifth starter and Andre Jackson and Phil Bickford getting the last two bullpen spots. And finally, he talks about his unfortunate suspicion that Trayce Thompson is due for a major regression that could make him unplayable.
