Good news on the Mike Trout front / Bad news for Ben Joyce Matthew Lugo gets the call and impresses. How long will he hang with the big league club, and what is one roster move the Angels are probably too scared to make? The Angels have issues across the diamond, but this under-discussed performance deficiency is holding the team back in a big way.

Fantasy Baseball Live – September 15, 2024 – time to be determinedSegments 1 and 2 – Review of weekend gamesAdditional Questions:1.What's up with Gerrit Cole intentionally walking Rafael Devers in the first and then when he faced him next, he intentionally walked him with nobody on base. I know Devers has owned him, but his walked led to four runs.2.Keider Montero had a shutout earlier this week and then shutout the Orioles for six innings today. Thoughts?3.Heston Kjerstad is back. Does he get enough at-bats to help fantasy managers?4.Ben Joyce hits the IL with a shoulder injury. Who would have thunk it?5.Tyler Glasnow is also out with an elbow strain for the rest of the season. He did beat his 120-innings high watermark, but barely. He's just a tough “own” for fantasy managers.6.Carlos Correa is back for the Twins7.Justin Verlander has not been good since returning from the IL, posting a 5.20 ERA. He did have a good outing last night against the hapless Angels. The arsenal is not what it used to be. His fastball is averaging 93.5 MPH, and his secondary pitches are still good, but nothing looks elite anymore (20-ish whiff rate). a.Is he a sit now? b.Should he be avoided next season?8.The Dodgers are saying that Shohei Ohtani might pitch in the playoffs. This seems like a bad idea to me. Your thoughts.Segment 3 – Waiver Wire and Closer ReportSegment 4 – Two-start pitchers

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the Giants extending Matt Chapman and Manny Machado's pursuit of Nate Colbert's Padres home run record, Stat Blast (20:42) about Luis Arraez's extreme three-true-outcome avoidance, Ben Joyce's potentially unprecedented pitch speeds, and whiff-averse flamethrowers, and then discuss (54:31) the Yankees' left-field dilemma(?) involving Alex Verdugo and Jasson Domínguez, […]

Gio wonders how the Kelce brothers got a $100 million deal from Amazon for a podcast. How are they possibly selling that much advertising? We also talked about the enormous deal Tom Brady is getting to call games on Fox. Jerry returned for an update and started with the Mets beating the Red Sox. If the Mets make the playoffs, Gio wants everyone back to throw out a first pitch: Grimace, Hawk Tuah girl, Rally Pimp, OMG and the Gay Mets. Lindor had a HR and an RBI double. Clay Holmes blew his league leading 11th save of the season as he gave up a walk off grand slam. Ben Joyce of the Angels threw a fastball at 105.5 mph. Brian Daboll finally confirmed he's calling the offensive plays this season. The Moment of The Day: Gio relives his interaction with Kay Adams which involved her squeezing his man boob. In the final segment of the show, we talked about the continued holdout of Haason Reddick.

Hour 1 The Mets won their sixth straight and Evan Roberts said they have to make the playoffs. Gio doesn't agree as nothing will happen if they don't. Carlos Mendoza and David Stearns will still be here if they don't make it. Boomer said they have to make the playoffs and he said if they don't it will be like the 2007 team. Gio and Eddie said that is a terrible comparison. Clay Holmes blew his league leading 11th save last night and the Yankees are going to have to make a move in choosing another closer. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first Boomer said it smells in the hallways and in the Evan and Tiki studio. Jerry has the sounds of the Mets beating the Red Sox again. Lindor homered and David Peterson had 11 K's. Clay Holmes gave up a walk-off Grand Slam to the Rangers. Brian Daboll confirmed that he is calling the offensive plays. In the final segment of the hour, many people sent Gio the article about Darius Paduch, the urologist accused of ‘crimes against men'. Hour 2 Trent Williams got his deal done with the Niners and Boomer wonders if he'll play this week against the Jets considering he hasn't been at practice at all. Boomer said this is the week to play the Niners with all of these key players just getting their deals done without a lot of practice. The only thing that matters week 1 for the Jets is how does the offense look? Jerry returns for an update but first we compare the careers of Eli Manning and Phil Simms. Jerry starts with audio from Kay Adams' show where she talked about Daniel Jones being ‘her boy'. Gio thinks there's something there. The Mets won their sixth straight but the Braves won as well. Clay Holmes gave up a walk off Grand Slam as the Yankees lost to Texas. In the final segment of the hour, Pat Boyle comes in as Gio thinks he would be a great sperm donor. Hour 3 Phil Simms joins us in his weekly football spot. We talked about Phil's ranking behind Eli Manning in the greatest Giants of all time. We talked to Phil about expectations for Daniel Jones this season. Gio asked Phil which QB he's most excited to see week 1. He had a list, including Sam Darnold. He also wants to see Brock Purdy vs the Jets defense. We also talked about Tom Brady getting his first game this Sunday. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Mets beating the Red Sox as Lindor, Alonso and Vientos all homered. Clay Holmes blew his league leading 11th save as he gave up a walk off grand slam to the Rangers. Breece Hall talked about the high standard he has for himself going into this season. Trent Williams was asked if he held out just to skip camp. In the final segment of the hour, Gio is a judge at the Island Mermaid again this Saturday. Hour 4 Gio wonders how the Kelce brothers got a $100 million deal from Amazon for a podcast. How are they possibly selling that much advertising? We also talked about the enormous deal Tom Brady is getting to call games on Fox. Jerry returned for an update and started with the Mets beating the Red Sox.

In the final segment of the show, we talked about the continued holdout of Haason Reddick.

On Tuesday night in Arlington, the Texas Rangers won on a walk-off grand slam that saw Wyatt Langford taking New York Yankees closer Clay Holmes deep, which happened to be his 11th blown save of the season. The Yankees' closer has been the subject of ire for fans this season, with many calling for a needed change in who closes out games.Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman discuss what the options might be at this point for the Yankees, if there's someone on the roster they could plug into the closer role and whether or not there is enough time in the season to experiment with someone new. With the postseason around the corner, will Aaron Boone and company stick with Clay Holmes?Also on this edition of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about Los Angeles Angels reliever Ben Joyce throwing a 105.5 MPH fastball, Shohei Ohtani returning to Anaheim for the first time as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Kyle Schwarber's three-home-run game and Justin Verlander's pursuit of 300 career wins.(1:34) - Ben Joyce throws 105.5(12:38) - Shohei Ohtani returns to Anaheim(19:19) - The Yankees' Clay Holmes problem(35:32) - Kyle Schwarber hits three home runs(44:34) - Justin Verlander's pursuit of 300Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

You might just miss one of Ben Joyce's fastballs.Joyce has been lighting up radar guns yet again this season, including uncorking a 104.5 mph fastball in a scoreless seventh inning of the Angels' 6-5 win over the Mariners in 10 innings on Friday, the hardest pitch thrown by any pitcher this season.“I've been feeling really good, but I didn't really think anything of it at the time,” Joyce said. “I was trying to go out there and get some outs. But yeah, overall, the body felt great and everything felt really good.”There's no doubt about it,” Washington said. “He's growing, man.

I threw a slider with almost 25 inches of horizontal break [Friday]. I don't know how accurate that is, but it was good to see. Yeah, stuff's right back to where it was. Got up to 98 [mph] in November, so velocity is still there and I'm bouncing back health-wise and not getting too sore.”“I've gone through so much the last three years,” he said. I feel like I've attained so much knowledge on the pitching side. Last year Whitley pitched for Triple-A Sugar Land and went 1-2 in eight appearances with a 5.70 ERA. He posted a solid strikeout rate, fanning 32 batters in 30 innings. But he missed the back half of the season with a lat strain.The towering righty revamped his routine this offseason, hoping an off-the-mound overhaul would make him a regular at Minute Maid Park.Connecting the MLB DotsRiver Ryan Dodgers Dot #1: MLB teams are purchasing damaged goods.

In this episode of Locked On MLB Prospects, host Lindsey Crosby takes a deep dive into the Los Angeles Angels farm system, discussing the team's top prospects for 2024 and their potential impact on the major leagues. A particular highlight is prospect Nolan Schanuel who defies the conventional parameters of a top prospect at first base due to his lack of power hitting. Along with prospect analysis, he also touches on possible predicted debuts for some players. Notably, he discusses prospects such as Kyren Paris, Ben Joyce, Sam Bachman, and Josh Kochanowicz who should all get Major League time in 2024.Find all the different ways to connect with the show (Discord, Subtext, etc) HERE: https://linktr.ee/CrosbyBaseballFollow along with LockedOn MLB Prospects host Lindsay Crosby as we follow 120+ affiliated teams throughout the 2023 season!
