Los Angeles Angels fans are waiting for the Halos to make some impactful moves, but so far, they've really only added depth pieces for the 2024 season. Although it's not flashy or exciting, they are necessary moves to get the Angels through 162 games, and the names they've added aren't the worst depth pieces in the world. While fans know the Angels certainly deal with their fair share of injuries every season, they can take comfort in the fact that they have capable backups to take any spots hurt by an IL stint. On today's show, we'll take a look at the names, including Jake Marisnick, Chad Wallach, DJ Snelten, and Tayron Guerrero, to name a few, give you what stands out about each, the concerns that come with each one, and how they'll be helpful to the team in 2024.

Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed outfielder Jake Marisnick to a contract on Thursday. Marisnick is notable for two reasons: 1) He was on the 2017 Houston Astros team that cheated to win the World Series; and 2) He's not a good hitter. Seems like a weird fit for L.A., but we talk about it. We also talk about the rumors that the Dodgers are interested in White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, a SoCal native who grew up going to games at Dodger Stadium. And finally, we talk about Ken Rosenthal's comments that he expects "all hell to break loose" at the trade deadline.Locked On Dodgers, the daily podcast about the Los Angeles Dodgers with hosts Jeff Snider and Vince Samperio, is part of the Locked On Podcast Network.Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers in the Audacy podcast app or wherever you get your podcasts, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

Tennis – Djokovic, Swiatek, Venus and Gauff get Wimbledon started on Day 1 Wimbledon gets started on Monday with some of the biggest names in tennis in action. That includes Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Venus Williams and Coco Gauff. It is the year’s third major tournament — and Djokovic won the first two: the Australian Open in January and the French Open in June. That puts him halfway to the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since 1969. He came close to the feat in 2021. He fell just one victory short that season when he lost in the final of the U.S. Open. He seeks a fifth consecutive title at the All England Club and eighth overall. Both would tie the records for a man. Djokovic’s title at Roland Garros was his 23rd at a Slam event. That set the men’s mark in that category.

Tennis – Djokovic, Swiatek, Venus and Gauff get Wimbledon started on Day 1 Wimbledon gets started on Monday with some of the biggest names in tennis in action. That includes Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Venus Williams and Coco Gauff. It is the year’s third major tournament — and Djokovic won the first two: the Australian Open in January and the French Open in June. That puts him halfway to the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since 1969. He came close to the feat in 2021. He fell just one victory short that season when he lost in the final of the U.S. Open. He seeks a fifth consecutive title at the All England Club and eighth overall. Both would tie the records for a man. Djokovic’s title at Roland Garros was his 23rd at a Slam event. That set the men’s mark in that category.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, Texas Rangers 2 Los Angeles Angels 12, Chicago White Sox 5 Tampa Bay Rays 4, Chicago Cubs 3 Tigers 3, Rangers 2 – Rogers, Marisnick lead Tigers over Rangers 3-2 Jake Rogers hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and Jake Marisnick followed with a run-scoring single in his Tigers debut, leading Detroit over the Texas Rangers 3-2. Texas took two of three and has won six straight road series for the first time. The Rangers’ 35-20 record is the team’s best 55-game start. Marcus Semien extended his hitting streak to 20 games with a double in the third. With the score 1-1, Nick Maton and Tyler Nevin started the sixth with singles off Dane Dunning. Angels 12, White Sox 5 – Ohtani homers twice, including career longest at 459 feet, Angels beat White Sox 12-5 Shohei Ohtani homered in consecutive innings, including a 459-foot drive that was the longest of his Major League Baseball career, and drove in four runs to lead the Los Angeles Angels over the Chicago White Sox 12-5. Mike Trout put the Angels ahead 2-0 with a 476-foot home run in the first. Ohtani drove a first-pitch fastball from Lance Lynn just to left of straightaway center for a 4-1 lead in the third. Ohtani hit a full count fastball more than a dozen rows over the bullpen in right-center in the fourth. Rays 4, Cubs 3 – Beeks escapes bases-loaded jam, Lowe, Siri hit homers as Rays beat Cubs 4-3 Brandon Lowe and Jose Siri each hit two-run homers late in the game, Jalen Beeks got the final two outs after coming in with the bases loaded and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Wednesday to avoid a three-game sweep. Lowe greeted Mark Leiter Jr. with a long two-run homer to center in the seventh to tie it at 2-all and Siri connected in the eighth to give Tampa Bay a 4-3 lead after Chicago scored a run. The Cubs loaded the bases in the ninth against Kevin Kelly. Beeks recorded his first save of the season. Today Tigers, Cubs, and White Sox are off MLB – Tigers’ Riley Greene on injured list with left leg stress fracture Centerfielder Riley Greene was put on the 10-day injured list by the Detroit Tigers because of a stress fracture in his left leg. Greene was injured during Detroit’s 10-6 loss to Texas on Tuesday and left the game in the third inning. He was sent for tests and an MRI showed a stress fracture in his left fibia. The move came one day after the Tigers placed their best pitcher, Eduardo Rodriguez. on the 15-day injured list with a ruptured ligament in his left index finger. MLB – Cubs’ Steele leaves start against Rays because of left forearm tightness Chicago Cubs starter Justin Steele exited Wednesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays after three innings because of left forearm tightness. Steele retired all nine batters he face. He got a visit from manager David Ross and a trainer with one out in the third. Steele retired the next two batters, with third baseman Patrick Wisdom making a lunging stab on Taylor Walls’ line drive foul and stopping Jose Siri’s hard grounder before throwing him out. Hayden Wesneski came in to start the fourth inning. Steele is 6-2 with a 2.65 ERA in 12 starts. NBA – 2023 NBA Finals – (best of seven) Tonight Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets, 8:30 p.m. (Game 1) NBA – Butler, Jokic lead Heat, Nuggets into a NBA Finals after unconventional paths Nikola Jokic wasn’t supposed to be here. Neither was Jimmy Butler, for that matter. Jokic was drafted behind 40 other players in 2014. Butler was drafted behind 29 others in 2011. Jokic grew up in Serbia, not even thinking about the NBA. Butler didn’t have the easiest upbringing in Texas, then went the junior-college route at the start of his journey toward the pros. And here they are. The NBA Finals. One of them is going to become a champion for the first time, with Jokic leading the Denver Nuggets and Butler leading the Miami Heat — a matchup that starts Thursday night in Denver, with the Nuggets heavily favored to win it all. NBA – Pistons reach agreement to hire former Suns coach Monty Williams The Detroit Pistons have reached an agreement to hire former Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams, according to two people familiar with the situation. One of the people told The Associated Press on Wednesday night that Williams agreed to a six-year contract. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced. Phoenix fired Williams two-plus weeks ago, two years after reaching the NBA Finals and a year after he won the league’s coach of the year honors. Indy 500 – Fan whose car was damaged by flying tire at Indy 500 will receive new ride An Indianapolis 500 fan whose vehicle was damaged when a tire flew off a racecar and out of the track during the race will receive a new car. An Indianapolis Motor Speedway spokesperson tells The Indianapolis Star that Penske Entertainment will provide fan Robin Matthews with a new car. The wheel came off with less than 20 laps to go in Sunday’s race when Felix Rosenqvist and Kyle Kirkwood collided. Kirkwood’s left rear tire bounced off the track and over the fence in the second turn before landing in a parking lot. The wheel traveled about 350 yards before crashing into the front of Matthews’ parked Chevrolet. NCAAMBB – Purdue’s Edey returning to school at NBA draft deadline Wednesday marked the deadline for players who were early entrants to the NBA draft to withdraw and return to college basketball. The list of returnees includes Purdue’s 7-foot-4 center Zach Edey after being named Associated Press national player of the year. There’s also national champion Connecticut getting back guard Tristen Newton. But Kentucky big man Oscar Tshiebwe is staying in the draft as a former AP national player of the year.

Mike Prater, of KTIK 95.3 FM 'The Ticket' in Boise, Idaho joins the show to talk Missouri's new offensive coordinator and former Boise State receiver Kirby Moore, new Broncos OC Bush Hamdan, and some Boise State men's basketball. Quick hit features a Kirby Moore jersey, Vikings best beat, Philly dirty bird, Jake Marisnick, the dysfunctional US men's national soccer team, and a Crawfish Boxes ratio. Tyler Kading joins the show for Week 18 NFL picks.
Though we express our concerns of its validity, Bryse Wilson has had a solid string of successful starts since returning to the majors and today's was quite possibly his in a Pirates uniform. He held the Orioles to just 1-run while lasting 6 innings. Something he hasn't done much of this season is miss bats, but today he was also able to strike out 5.Last night we discussed how this offense goes wherever Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz takes them. Funny how just 16 hours later they own us as 7 of the RBI's came from other players. What was nice to see today is Oneil Cruz in the cleanup role, though Tyler suggests maybe a better spot for him. Somehow or another we go down a rabbit hole discussing the better player between Greg Allen, Jarrod Dyson, & Jake Marisnick as well.
This week, BetPrep's Player Prop Guru Brad Feinberg discusses his top MLB player props as of July 26, 2022 with host and BetPrep Editor Michael Salfino of The Athletic and FiveThirtyEight. Player props include José Urquidy, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Jose Trevino, Jake Marisnick, and Jorge Mateo
our straight and 9 in their last 14 have the Bucco's won. Today was a bullpen game as Roansy Contreras was optioned last week and they came through pretty strong once again. Stratton pitched and well enough to hand the ball over to Dillon Peters who returned from the IL and impressed once again. David Bednar was able to close it out for his 16th save of the season.Offensively, the Pirates did just enough but it was once again Jake Marisnick who went deep for the second time in as many games since his return. Tyler and DiNardo discuss Kevin Newman and his potential importance to Oneil Cruz in the infield. Is maybe keeping Newman around to play 2B not so bad after all? How about Jason Delay continuing his play and the defense he provides this club behind the dish?
Today may have arguably been the best start by Mitch Keller as he went 7 full innings and Tyler & DiNardo discuss just what about it was so impressive. Besides Keller's 2-seamer still impressing, he has started to add and tweak even more to his pitch mix. To close out his 3rd save of the year, Yerry De Los Santos came in during another high leverage spot and got 4 outs by strikeouts in his 1.1 innings pitched.How about the return of the Kevin Newman and now Jake Marisnick? Newman has been producing since his return and finished today with 3 hits while Marisnick coming fresh off the IL finished with a double, home run, and a stolen base. Is there potentially any trade value in either of them and what would a return possibly be?Let's also not leave out this pleasantly performing catcher on this roster now in Jason Delay. Known for the glove, and boy have we seen some of it so far, he hit his 3rd double on the year as we discuss why he should finish the year in Pittsburgh
