Podcasts about Los Angeles Angels

A full interview with Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect Luke LaCourse on being named a Pitcher of the Week for the Arizona Complex League. We talk about his start to pro ball after being drafted in the 6th round last year.

  Welcome back to Halos in the Infield! This week, ToddFox is joined by Fernando "The Lone Star Halo" and the returning Courtney for a deep dive into the current state of the Los Angeles Angels as the trade deadline approaches. With several young players beginning to emerge and contribute at the major league level, the Angels find themselves at a crossroads. Should the front office be aggressive and add prospects and young talent to accelerate the rebuild, or will General Manager Perry Minasian continue to take a cautious approach that leaves the organization stuck in the middle? The crew discusses whether the Angels have a clear direction moving forward and how ownership and leadership decisions have impacted the club's ability to build a sustainable winner. Is there a real plan in place, or are the Angels simply treading water yet again? We also break down the recent struggles of Zack Neto and examine what adjustments he and several key members of the lineup can make to get their bats going again. Can the offense find consistency, and what should fans realistically expect during the second half of the season? Join ToddFox, Fernando, and Courtney as they tackle the biggest Angels storylines, debate the future of the franchise, and discuss what comes next for the Halos.

The Los Angeles Angels dropped their third consecutive game as the Athletics took advantage of a rough first inning from Ryan Johnson and never looked back, shutting out the Halos in Sacramento. On this episode of the Todd Fox Postgame Show, we break down another frustrating night for Angels fans as Ryan Johnson ran into trouble early and the offense once again failed to provide any support. The Athletics jumped on the Angels from the start, while the Halos struggled to generate offense and were unable to respond throughout the game. We'll discuss Ryan Johnson's difficult outing, the lack of production from the lineup, missed opportunities, and whether this recent skid is becoming a cause for concern. With the Angels searching for answers, Todd Fox gives his thoughts on what needs to change before the losing streak gets any worse.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner — Real_G Warner — is back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a tight, focused episode of the What I Bet Podcast, courtesy of the Pregame.com Podcast Network, breaking down the full Major League Baseball slate for Thursday, May 28, 2026. With the Vegas Golden Knights having swept the Colorado Avalanche and hockey winding down for the postseason's next round, Thursday belongs to baseball, and Griffin walks through every game on the card with the analytical directness his audience expects. The episode covers six MLB matchups, opening with the getaway day game in Detroit where Grayson Rodriguez takes the hill for the Los Angeles Angels against Jack Flaherty and a Tigers team that, in Griffin's view, is paying a significant salary for one of the worst-performing starters in the American League. Griffin makes the case for the Angels at plus-113 and leans toward the over at plus-105 on a nine-run total before the number potentially tightens. In Chicago, Kendry Rojas starts for Minnesota against Davis Martin and a White Sox team that has been genuinely better than the industry expected this season, with Griffin giving Chicago its proper credit and acknowledging that the minus-138 price reflects real performance. The afternoon game at Fenway Park brings Chris Sale back to Boston for the Atlanta Braves, squaring off against young Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle. Griffin likes what he has seen from Tolle but is unwilling to play the under at seven and a half minus-130 at Fenway, noting that Boston's home park is simply not the right environment for that construction, and leaving the Red Sox money line as the only possible play in the game, if anything. In Baltimore, Patrick Corbin and Chris Bassitt meet in a matchup Griffin describes as two veterans fighting to justify their roster spots, and he takes the Blue Jays at plus-116, pointing to Corbin's underappreciated resurgence and his skepticism of the Orioles as a roster-construction project. The Cubs visit Pittsburgh for the series finale against Paul Skenes, and while Griffin respects the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner as the best pitcher in baseball, the plus-149 number on Chicago is interesting enough to note alongside what he identifies as the stronger analytical play, the under seven and a half. Late in Arlington, Spencer Arrighetti takes a plus-135 number on the road for Houston against Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers, and Griffin lands on the under seven and a half as a split play across the first five innings and the full game to manage variance in a park that consistently suppresses scoring. The episode closes with Griffin's What I Bet Best Bet: Cubs versus Pirates, under seven and a half, with Skenes on the mound and two offenses unlikely to generate the kind of volume needed to push past that total. Before signing off, Griffin details the Pregame.com promo code GRIFFIN50, which gets subscribers fifty dollars off his All Access All-Star Break package, delivering 49 days of picks across every sport, including the World Cup and the full MLB slate, for two hundred forty-nine dollars.
