Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels struggled to mount any offense on Tuesday night except for Zach Neto's first big-league home run, as they dropped game 2 to the Astros, 3-1. With Shohei Ohtani on the mound, it felt like it would be quite a pitcher's duel; unfortunately, Shohei's difficult 5th inning ended up being all the Astros would need to win. Framber Valdez had 12 Ks on the night against the Halos, who couldn't stop swinging at strikes out of the zone and watching strikes in the zone. Mike and Jon recap last night's loss in segment 1 and have all the details for you, including Shohei surpassing Babe Ruth once again! Then, Sam Blum of The Athletic wrote a very informative article regarding Jared Walsh's health struggles that have dated back to last year, and it was more than any of us could have imagined. We'll give you the details, when Jared Walsh could be back, and share our personal thoughts on how we as fans should have empathy for the players on the field. Plus, Phil Nevin had a fairly interesting press conference after the loss to the Rangers on Sunday, one that most fans felt was good in that it was honest and open. So we're asking; is Phil's willingness to address the issues with the team a good thing, and if so, who is it good for? We'll tell you what we mean in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels got a much-needed win against the Houston Astros on Monday night, winning 6-4 to start the 3-game set! Patrick Sandoval gave the Angels some length in his start, going 6.1 innings before Matt Moore and Carlos Estevez finished the game, and the Halo hitters had the most timely hits to keep them neck and neck throughout the game! Shohei Ohtani's 2 RBI doubles and Brandon Drury's go-ahead RBI triple made the difference, as well as Anthony Rendon's RBI, Hunter Renfroe's solo homer, and Matt Thaiss adding on a valuable insurance run. Mike and Jon will recap this game and explain why a pregame conversation with Benji Gil may have made all the difference! Then, is the Angels' pitching philosophy a one-size-fits-all approach? The Super Halo Bros. look to a recent article from Sam Blum and his discussion with Aaron Loup on the Halos' approach on the mound and determine if it's been impacting the current starting rotation. We'll take a look in segment 2! Plus, Tyler Anderson signed a 3-year deal to be a starter in Anaheim over the offseason, and while fans have been hoping for results that could look like his 2022 season with the Dodgers, his starts have been somewhat of a mixed bag. Does this make him a bust, or a disappointment? We'll get into the stats and tell you our thoughts in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels lose the weekend series to the Texas Rangers, dropping 2 of 3 after starting with an incredible comeback on Friday night. Before we get into the bad of this weekend, we'll recap the way the Angels came back on Friday to walk it off in the 10th! Clutch moments from Luis Rengifo and Chad Wallach allowed Carlos Estevez to keep it tied in the 10th, and with Anthony Rendon at the plate, Zach Neto scored from third to end it 5-4! Jon will give you all the details in segment 1! Then, Saturday night, the Angels' magic ran out, as they had a disastrous 9th inning that put the game out of reach. Despite Reid Detmers only giving up 3 runs and striking out 7, he did not get any longevity in this game, throwing 94 pitches before he was pulled in the 5th. Nathan Eovaldi on the other hand pitched 8 scoreless innings for the Rangers and induced a lot of weak contact to create outs. Jon will explain the difference in their two starts and how the 9th saw the Halos implode. Plus, Sunday's game felt like the Angels were playing on "Very Difficult" mode, as they ran out Jose Suarez to start, and he was out by the 3rd inning with a shoulder injury. Despite getting to Martin Perez for 7 runs, the Halos saw this one slip away due to bad defense, pitching, and mental mistakes all over the field. Jon will dive into what went wrong and why this game felt like a loss before it even started in segment 3. GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels complete their first SWEEP of the season at the expense of the St. Louis Cardinals, as many of the regulars were on the bench and the backups stepped up! Everyone got in on the hit parade, as the Halos win 11-7. Luis Rengifo stepped up in a big way, but once again, Aaron Loup struggled, even in a low-leverage situation. The Super Halo Bros. will recap the game and share why they think it's time to cut Loup loose. Then, it's FANMAIL FRIDAY! We're taking your questions about who should lead off, if Chris Devenski will be the star reliever he once was, and what we think of the Angels' remaining schedule!

The Los Angeles Angels have an incredible comeback against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night, thanks to a Jake Lamb pinch-hit home run and a Mike Trout go-ahead home run to take the lead and win the game! Shohei Ohtani started this one and managed to strike out 13 through 5 innings! Although he gave up 4 runs with 2 homers, his teammates picked him up and got him off the hook! How about this Angels bullpen looking entirely different than how it started? Mike and Jon are going to give you all the details of this exciting victory in segment 1! Then, were we all wrong about Jose Suarez? After many fans and the Super Halo Bros. suggested a move to the bullpen, Phil Nevin let Suarez start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, where he shut them out through five innings and earned the win. Were we all wrong to doubt him? Mike and Jon take a look at Suarez's track record to find out what makes him successful and discuss whether or not he can repeat this moving forward in segment 2! Plus, there's been a lot of talk around Gary Sanchez and the Halos' potential interest in the experienced catcher. Though his best days are behind him, he's an intriguing depth option for the Angels. So, we're asking, who is Gary Sanchez, and is his signing with the Angels realistic? We'll talk about if it makes sense in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels start the series against the St. Louis Cardinals with a win, taking the opener 5-1 off a Taylor Ward home run and RBIs from Anthony Rendon and Zach Neto! While Patrick Sandoval cruised through his first few innings, he struggled some in the 5th and left the game in the 6th, and it was Chris Devinski leading the bullpen and inducing an incredible double play from Neto and Brandon Drury that set the tone for the rest of the game! Mike and Jon will break down last night's game for you in segment 1! Then, we'll take a look at the Angels' schedule for May and determine what a realistic record might be for the month. As the Halos prepare to face AL West rivals in the Rangers and Astros, will they be able to stand toe-to-toe with those two teams and the others they'll face in the month of May? We'll discuss where we think the Angels will end up in segment 2! Plus, we'll share a stat with you that emphasizes the importance of defense and why the Angels need to perform better in the field! In order to help out the starting pitching and the bullpen, the Halos will want to clean it up around the diamond, and we'll tell you why in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels have emerged from April 15-14, and though it may feel like every win was sink or swim, it's a good position for the Halos to be in based on past team performances in April. Because of the day off yesterday, the Super Halo Bros. were able to take the time to reflect on the opening month of the season and examine the good, the bad, and the ugly. In segment 1, we'll share with you what was good about this team, from Shohei Ohtani continuing to do unprecedented things at the plate and on the mound to Mike Trout continuing his Hall of Fame career! We'll take a look at the new additions to the roster, including Gio Urshela, Hunter Renfoe, Brandon Drury, Matt Moore, and Carlos Estevez, and how prospects Zach Neto and Chase Silseth have performed! Then, in segment 2, we'll share what's been bad about this team. The Halos have struggled to drive in runners in scoring position, Taylor Ward has not been able to find it at the plate, and too many defensive errors, miscues, and bad decisions have cost the Angels several close games. We'll dive into the conversation about what's been bad in segment 2! Plus, as we discuss what's been UGLY about the team so far, we'll share some EXCLUSIVE news regarding the front office and the decision-making that's been going on between Phil Nevin and Perry Minasian, and we'll share how Arte Moreno stepped in to make a key change to the decisions on the field.

The Los Angeles Angels were able to avoid the sweep and walk away from the Milwaukee Brewers with a win on Sunday, but not before dropping the first two games of the series. While Friday's game was close and ended 2-1, it was the decision to continue with Aaron Loup that left everyone scratching their heads. While Halo fans would've liked to have seen more offense against the Brew Crew, why did Phil Nevin choose to go with Loup for a second inning? The Super Halo Bros. will discuss in segment 1! Then, Game 2 featured a strong start for Reid Detmers... until it wasn't. What went wrong for Detmers, and what caused the Angels to fall short? Despite two Trout homers and a 3-hit night from Shohei Ohtani, the Angels were not able to come back from the large deficit when they had both Ohtani and Anthony Rendon on base with no outs. We'll dive into the details of game two in segment two, and we'll ask the question: are Trout and Ohtani meeting the moment? Plus, in a game that felt questionable from the beginning with Jose Suarez on the mound, it turned out that his start was the only game the Angels would win this weekend! What did Suarez do to get through five scoreless innings against a tough Brewers team? We'll break down game three for you in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels have often found themselves bailed out by Shohei Ohtani's stellar pitching on the mound, but on Thursday, it was the bats who provided Shohei with enough run support to get through 6 innings! Even though the 4th inning was a struggle, Ohtani persevered, and not only that, he nearly hit for the cycle, just barely missing a home run in right-center field. While it was a battle to secure the win, the Angels were helped by Brandon Drury and his continued hot streak, hitting yet another home run and amassing 12 RBIs over this Oakland A's series! The Super Halo Bros. will recap the action for you in segment 1! Then, it's FANMAIL FRIDAY! We're taking your questions on the Halos, including, is there pressure on the young players to perform considering this may be Ohtani's last year? Is Matt Thaiss starting to come around? Would the Brewers consider trading Corbin Burnes to the Angels? We'll get to all these and much more on today's show! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels grab another win and get back over .500 on Wednesday night, thanks to a stellar 7-inning start from Patrick Sandoval and home runs from Brandon Drury, Hunter Renfroe, and Shohei Ohtani! Chase Silseth made his 2023 debut out of the pen, going two innings, and surprising us all with GAS on his fastball! It was a game of solid offense and defense, the kind of game you want to see the Halos play each time out. Mike and Jon will recap the game for you in segment 1! Then, a lot of fans are asking: "What's up with Taylor Ward?" He's not quite been the player who got off to a hot start in 2022, and Jon has a deep dive into the stats that are telling us who Taylor Ward has been in the outfield this season and at the plate. Can Ward find his potential All-Star within once again? We've got the numbers to explain how he can! Plus, we've got 4 solutions for fixing the bullpen issues the Halos have faced so far this season. After Carlos Estevez made clear that he was ready and willing to go out and pitch to Phil Nevin despite the restrictions put in place, it got us wondering how the bullpen can live up to its fullest capabilities.

Why are they giving Suarez another chance, and what is there to make of Chase Silseth being called up? We'll give you our thoughts in segment 2!

The Los Angeles Angels certainly make it difficult on their fans, don't they? After climbing back into the game following a terrible start from Jose Suarez, the Angels lose in extras, 11-10, after the bullpen can't hold the lead. Mental mistakes from Luis Rengifo did not help, and neither did Phil Nevin's decision-making regarding the bullpen, citing many pitchers as "unavailable." What's gotta give here? Mike and Jon discuss the loss and share in the sentiment of how frustrating losses like this have become "Classic Angels." Then, there was some good news regarding Jared Walsh's progress on returning to the field, and we'll discuss Max Stassi and what happens to the catcher position once he returns. The Super Halo Bros. we'll update you on the progress and what happens when they make their way back to the field! Plus, Mike wants to see Edgar Quero called up to play catcher, and he's got four reasons why! What are Mike's thoughts regarding this move, and what does Jon think about it?

The Los Angeles Angels take 2 out of 3 from the Kansas City Royals this weekend! While Halo fans were saddened to hear the news about Logan O'Hoppe and the surgery he will need, their spirits were lifted by an impressive Shohei Ohtani start on the mound as he struck out 11 Royals en route to a 2-0 victory on Friday. Mike and Jon talk about the O'Hoppe news, Jon recaps the game 1 victory, and we discuss Phil Nevin's decision to rest Mike Trout on a Shohei start day in segment 1! Then, the scoreboard may have malfunctioned on Saturday, but the Angels had the bigger malfunction in the 9th inning as Jose Quijada was not able to duplicate his performance from Friday night and blew the save. It causes the Super Halo Bros. to ask the question: does Phil Nevin have a hard time distinguishing between leaving a player in the game and boosting their confidence, or does he not have the knack to know when a player needs to be bailed out? We'll talk about what it might mean in segment 2. Plus, the Halos put up 3 home runs in a row thanks to Taylor Ward, Mike Trout, and Shohei Ohtani on Sunday! Reid Detmers had another solid outing, only surrendering 2 runs across 5.2 innings, but are we disappointed the Angels didn't get the sweep this weekend? We'll discuss in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels had a disastrous day against the Yankees on Thursday, after Patrick Sandoval surrendered 5 runs in the top of the 1st. Perhaps worse was that Logan O'Hoppe injured his shoulder during the game, and the word is still out on the extent of the injury. Mike and Jon will recap what happened and explain why Patrick Sandoval had such a terrible time on the mound in segment 1. Then, in segments 2 and 3, it's Fanmail Friday, and we're answering your questions about the Halos! There's lots of concern about Mike Trout and his ability to produce at the plate, as well as what appears to be him playing it safe in the outfield. Are these valid concerns? Mike and Jon have the stats to bring you the answer. Plus, Is Chase Silseth ready for the Bigs once more? Is there any truth to the rumors that the Angels are set to trade Shoehei Ohtani?

The Los Angeles Angels pitched well against the Yankees on Wednesday night, but they were outdone in extra innings as the ghost runner came home to score in the 10th. While that may be frustrating in its own right, the Halos came up 1-15 with runners in scoring position, and just couldn't seem to deliver and pile on the runs after a terrific start from Griffin Canning. Mike and Jon will break down what happened in last night's game for you in segment 1! Then, the Angels are really feeling the lack of Jared Walsh and Max Stassi on this team in more ways than one. What is the timeline for these two to return, and what happens once they are back? The Super Halo Bros. chat about what each of these guys brings to the table for the 2023 roster and how they will contribute once they return. Plus, since Shohei Ohtani's start in Boston against the Red Sox was cut short, his starting schedule on the mound has taken a new shape and trajectory for the next few weeks! What matchups will we see him in and which ones will benefit the Angels from having him on the mound the most? Mike and Jon discuss in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels take game 1 against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night with a 5-2 win! The Halos looked like a much better team in terms of offense and defense, though Jose Suarez's third rough start in a row did not inspire confidence. Fortunately, Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Hunter Renfroe, and Anthony Rendon were able to give the Angels a lead that the bullpen didn't give up, and smart defense in the field from Zach Neto kept the game from being busted open. Mike and Jon will give you all the details in segment 1! Then, while the Angels have had their early struggles so far this season, you might take solace in the fact that we're not the only fans having freakouts. Mike and Jon did a bit of digging and found that Dodgers, Padres, and even Guardians fans are also freaking out about how their teams have started. The good news is we're not alone! The Super Halo Bros. will share some of the comments from fans of other teams to demonstrate that not everyone can get off to a good start in April, and explain how the Angels' early issues are fixable. Plus, while GM Perry Minasian has certainly made some cutthroat moves in his past few seasons like Albert Pujols and Justin Upton, he's also made some surprising moves, such as calling up Zach Neto this past weekend. With his struggles this year and last year, calls for DFA'ing Aaron Loup have reached far and wide within the Angels' fanbase. So, would cutting Aaron Loup from the team be a brilliant move or a panic move? Jon's got some stats on why Aaron Loup's struggles have occurred and might be fixable, and the Super Halo Bros. determine whether it would be a panic move or a brilliant move to let him go.

The Los Angeles Angels salvage the series against the Boston Red Sox on Monday, winning the game 5-4! The rain couldn't stop them from taking the game, but it did cause Shohei Ohtani's start to be shortened due to an extended rain delay after the 2nd inning. Fortunately, the Halos got out to an early lead thanks to Hunter Renfroe's home run and Zach Neto's first Major League hit! Though the game took longer than expected, Tucker Davidson was able to provide the Angels with a solid proto "start", and the bullpen was decent, other than Aaron Loup. Mike and Jon will break down Monday's Marathon game on Boston Marathon Day in segment 1! Then, Locked On MLB Prospects host Lindsay Crosby joins us to talk about the quick ascension of Zach Neto! Was it too soon for the Angels to call him up? What does Lindsay think of Neto's performance so far, and most importantly, can Neto stick in the Majors? We talk Zach Neto's potential with Lindsay in segment 2 and dive into what exactly the Halos are looking for as he hopes to succeed in the Bigs! Plus, Lindsay was a big fan of Logan O'Hoppe pre-season, and previously told us that he would be the starting catcher this year. So far, Lindsay was right! We ask Lindsay if the production from O'Hoppe is sustainable, and will he end up being more of a defensive catcher or offensive catcher? Lindsay shares his thoughts on what he has seen so far from O'Hoppe in 2023, and he's offering his insight in segment 3! In addition, we've got a BONUS conversation after segment 3 about who the next prospect to be called up to the Angels might be! Many fans are clamoring for the arrival of Ben Joyce, but Lindsay is here to tell you why it WON'T be Joyce and why it COULD BE someone else we're all very familiar with!

The Los Angeles Angels had quite an ugly weekend of baseball against the Boston Red Sox, dropping 3 straight games due to sloppy play, errors, miscues, and a lack of offense on Sunday. After 3 errors between Anthony Rendon and Luis Rengifo chased Patrick Sandoval out of Friday's game early, the Halos ended up losing 5-3 after surrendering 4 unearned runs. Mike and Jon talk about what went wrong and how the Halos need to clean it up in segment 1! Then, Saturday's game saw the Angels finding a brand new way to lose on catcher's interference, as Matt Thaiss's two interferences caused the Angels to lose their close lead late in the game. While the news of the day should have been Zach Neto's callup and Gio Urshela's first-inning grand slam, any good news quickly went out the window. Mike and Jon will share their thoughts on the game in segment 2. Plus, if it's not one thing, it's another with this team, and Reid Detmer's impressive 6.1 inning start went for naught, as the Halos couldn't muster up any offense to outperform the Red Sox and their narrow 2-1 lead. So, we're asking, after a disastrous weekend, who should be held accountable? Is this something that manager Phil Nevin ought to be responsible for, and if so, how should he address it with the players and coaching staff? The Super Halo Bros. will provide some solutions in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels have won 3 of their first 4 series this year and now sit at 7-5 on the season after defeating the Washington Nationals on Wednesday, 3-2! Griffin Canning pitched in a Major League game for the first time since July of 2021 after struggling with a back injury that kept him out for all of 2022. He pitched well in his first start back, but it became the Brett Phillips show as the fan-favorite outfielder got his first start of the year in center field. He scored 2 of the Angels runs without swinging the bat, stealing two bags, and walking in a bases-loaded run. We'll recap the final game of the series and the W in segment 1! Then, we'll take a deeper dive into Griffin Canning's performance on the mound, highlighting what went well for him in the start. He seems to be a more mature pitcher on the mound, and with some enhanced velocity and nasty breaking pitches, we'll tell you exactly how he was able to be effective in segment 2! Plus, now that he has returned and will be getting another start against the New York Yankees next week, what does this mean for the starting rotation, and possibly Jose Suarez? After two disappointing starts and the return of the highly-touted Angels' prospect, could we see Jose Suarez be moved to the bullpen? What are some of the other options the Halos will need to consider? Mike and Jon will talk about it all in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

The Los Angeles Angels came away with the victory on Tuesday night, thanks to another impressive outing from Shohei Ohtani on the mound! The Halos walk away with a 2-0 win, and Shohei walks away with more history and records broken! He now has the most consecutive starts as an Angel with 2 runs or less with 10 straight starts, beating the previous holder, Nolan Ryan, and his 9 starts! We'll break down game 2 against the Washington Nationals in segment 1! Then, it's our first-ever Minor League Report! Our new weekly segment will highlight what's going on down on the Angels' farm, and today, we're spotlighting AAA and the Salt Lake Bees! The Bees have been garnering a lot of "buzz", thanks in part to Jo Adell and Chase Silseth, and we'll tell you why and how they've done so, plus, we'll look at some of the other players on the team who could potentially help out our Halos in the pen. Plus, is it hard to be a Halo, and, in particular, hard to be a Halo *not* named Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani? With the narrative of getting Mike and Shohei to the playoffs, what kind of pressure, if any, is placed on the players around them? We'll share the stories about two players who had nothing but great things to say about Trout and Ohtani and why they're not only the best on the field, but in the locker room as well!

The Los Angeles Angels suffered an embarrassing loss to the Washington Nationals on Monday after getting out to a 4-0 lead. Jose Suarez continued to struggle a 3rd time through the order, and costly fielding errors and decisions from Luis Rengifo and Brandon Drury did not help their cause. Jon's got a full recap of game 1 and will detail exactly what happened that caused the Halos to drop game 1 of the series against the Nats. Then, with Tucker Davidson coming into relieve Suarez, it opened the door for the return of Griffin Canning on Wednesday! He'll start against the Nationals for his 1st big-league start since 2021, and Jon will get you up to speed on Canning's last year and a half, who he's been in the past, and what we can expect from him in his start on Wednesday! Plus, we know that the bullpen has been an issue for the Angels so far in 2023. Perry Minasian recently spoke on this and had some very interesting comments regarding his hopes for the pitchers the Angels have in the pen. What did he say, does it make sense, and how can the Angels better manage the group of guys they have now? We'll discuss it in segment 3!

The Los Angeles Angels couldn't walk away with the series win against the tough Toronto Blue Jays this weekend, only winning 1 of 3 games due to some poor bullpen decisions while the offense did wake up and saw Hunter Renfroe, Luis Rengifo, and Brandon Drury hit their first home runs of the season. While Mike Trout came up clutch this weekend and Shohei Ohtani hit unreal home runs, the pitching struggled to help the Halos keep a lead, a consistent theme throughout the weekend. In one sense, it was a blowpen game, and in another sense, it was terrible luck on hits that cost the Angels on Sunday. Mike and Jon will take you through what you did see and what you didn't see and how that influenced the performance on the field this weekend.

The Los Angeles Angels end their first road trip of 2023 with a tightrope victory over the Seattle Mariners! The Halos go 4-2 on the road trip, winning both series, and come home on Friday to the Big A for the home opener! Shohei Ohtani picked up his first win of the season, and though he struggled with his command, he still was able to get through 6 innings, allowing only 1 run, while Logan O'Hoppe continues to be a potential Rookie of the Year candidate, hitting a 2-run homer. Mike and Jon break down the game and give you all that you need to know in segment 1! Then, with Taylor Ward taking huge strides last season and this season, could he end up being a Top 5 left fielder in baseball? Mike and Jon discuss the trade that almost sent him to the Dodgers in 2020 and why we're glad he's stuck around! We'll share our thoughts on if he can be top 5 in segment 2! Plus, we answer a listener question regarding the Angels' lack of base stealing so far this season. Could they benefit from running more, and who could be the prototypical base-stealer for the team?

The Los Angeles Angels suffered a brutal loss to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, thanks to home runs from Teoscar Hernandez and AJ Pollock, some shoddy defense, and Jose Suarez losing the ability to locate pitches after starting out strong. It felt like a flashback to last season, with the Angels down double-digit runs and not able to climb back into the fight, and Mariners' ace Luis Castillo didn't make it easy on the Halos to get back into it either. The Super Halo Bros. will discuss game 2 of the series and give you a full recap in segment 1! Then, last night's game has us consider the question: should the Angels make a change to their starting rotation? With options like Griffin Canning and Tucker Davidson, perhaps the argument is less about the 6th starter and more about who should be the 5th starter? Is it too soon to make this decision? Mike and Jon will discuss it all in segment 2! Plus, at last year's trade deadline, the Angels traded fan-favorite and former number-one Angels prospect Brandon Marsh to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for catcher Logan O'Hoppe. Since O'Hoppe has impressed so far, was this trade worth it? Mike and Jon will share their thoughts and compare O'Hoppe to some past great catchers in Halo history!

The Los Angeles Angels take game 1 of a 3-game set against the Seattle Mariners on Monday night, winning 7-3 off the back of a Shohei Ohtani 2-run home run and a Taylor Ward 2-run blast to dead center, with some additional runs from Luis Rengifo and Brandon Drury! Reid Detmers strikes out 7, going 4-2/3rds innings, and the bullpen arms didn't allow a run! Mike and Jon have a full recap in segment 1! Then, more news about Anthony Rendon's suspension came out yesterday, as he was originally charged with a 5-game suspension, later reduced to 4. So, what kind of precedent does this set for player-fan interactions? Will anything change after this incident? We'll share Rendon's comments and our opinions with you in segment 2! Plus, it's US AGAINST THE WORLD. It seems that no matter what happens with the Angels, someone has the ability to put a negative spin on it. While criticism for a lot of what the Angels do is certainly deserved, when it comes to the players and team on the field, writers and talking heads just can't help themselves. That's why the Super Halo Bros. are inviting you into our cause: US against the WORLD. GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!

Your Los Angeles Angels are 2-1 after this weekend's Opening Series against the Oakland Athletics! While it was great to have Halos' baseball back, it was not without its controversies, as the first game of the season ended in frustrating and classic Angels fashion. Shohei Ohtani delivered a dominant start, but the Angels couldn't provide enough offense to preserve Ohtani's lead, eventually blown by the bullpen. We'll recap game 1 in segment 1! Then, Saturday and Sunday were much different, as the Halos' dominated both with their pitching and endless runs, scoring 11 in one inning on Saturday! Starts from Patrick Sandoval were helped by the likes of Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Taylor Ward, and the MVP of the weekend, Logan O'Hoppe! He drove in six total RBIs over the weekend, including his first career home run on Sunday! We'll tell you all about games 2 & 3 in segment 2! Plus, Anthony Rendon was at the center of some controversy this weekend, after footage came out that he had an incident with an A's fan. We'll give you our thoughts on the matter, the possible implications, and what needs to change in order to prevent issues like this in segment 3.

The Los Angeles Angels are headed to Oakland for OPENING DAY! It's finally here, and we're asking the three biggest questions about our Halos heading into 2023. First up; did the front office do enough this offseason to help Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani get to the playoffs? Is the supporting cast strong enough to help them carry this team all the way? We'll answer in segment 1! Then, with the incredible steps forward the rotation made in 2022, can young stars like Patrick Sandoval and Reid Detmers do it again as they follow the ace of the staff, Shohei Ohtani? What about the bullpen? We'll discuss in segment 2! Plus, what becomes of Shohei Ohtani's future with the Halos? Is it now or never, and is a trade at the deadline going to be worth it if the Angels have to do so? We'll look back at some previous rental trades and discuss how they turned out for the selling team in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!
