Podcasts about Los Angeles Angels

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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres both had successful Rivalry Weekends, sweeping their respective series. The two teams atop the National League West are separated by only half a game as they head into what will surely be an entertaining matchup beginning Monday night at Petco Park in San Diego. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from Rivalry Weekend and preview the NL West showdown between the Dodgers and Padres, including Shohei Ohtani getting his explosive bat back to standard form after a monster series in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels.

Two-time Jays skipper John Gibbons sits down for a trip down memory lane and we chat with Alek Manoah about his return to the big leagues in his old home ballpark, as well as his meteoric rise with the Jays and the fall that sees him with his third different team in eight months.

The Los Angeles Angels are terrible. Just a bad franchise. A bad team. A bad owner. They can't win. They can't make the playoffs. Each year it's the same thing! (7:40) Did the Angels save Carlos Mendoza? No. But David Stearns is still backing him! (18:40) Ronald Acuna is hurt. A hamstring. The best team in baseball has lost its start for a few weeks. (30:25) John Sterling has died. A legendary broadcaster for the New York Yankees… On the field the Yankees are thriving.

Jerry has sounds of John Sterling when he did play-by-play with the Islanders. We also heard more of his great Yankees HR calls. The Yankees beat the Orioles as Jasson Dominguez, Ben Rice and Aaron Judge homered. Rice has a contusion and is considered day by day. The Mets beat the Angels and won a series and Carson Benge had a great catch and Mark Vientos homered twice. Joel Embiid doesn't want Sixers fans selling their tix to Knicks fans.

Jerry starts with the sounds of Jasson Dominguez homering in the Yankees win over the Orioles. Ben Rice and Aaron Judge both homered, but Rice has a hand contusion. The Mets beat the Angels and took the series as Mark Vientos homered twice. Clay Holmes pitched well again. Jerry previewed Knicks/Sixers. Montreal beat Tampa in the playoffs and the Canadians only had 9 shots on goal.

The Mets actually won a series against the Angels this weekend so hopefully this is the start of them winning games again.

When the New York Yankees decided, in essence, to run back a very familiar team they had at the end of last season, there was some unease from their passionate fanbase. After all, this was a team that was eliminated by division rival, the Toronto Blue Jays, in the ALDS and didn't look particularly threatening. Fast forward to this season, and those same fans might be thankful for the strategy, as it has the Bronx Bombers holding the best record in the American League. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at what has made the Yankees so successful this year—outside of another stellar start from Aaron Judge—and why the emergence of Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler has been key to their success. They also wonder if a new strategy is being adopted by the front office following Anthony Volpe's minor league demotion and whether it could signal a shift in how they're approaching this season. The guys also discuss the passing of legendary broadcaster John Sterling and what he meant to the team, as well as to baseball. Later, Jake and Jordan recap the rest of the weekend's action, including watching the Chicago Cubs from their famous bleachers at Wrigley Field, the Atlanta Braves getting off to their best start since 1892 and which pitcher has been irreplaceable for the Seattle Mariners. They then highlight a few other notable stories from the weekend, including the Miami Marlins calling up an important prospect and the New York Mets getting a much-needed series win in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels. 0:57 - Remembering John Sterling 7:41 - The Opener: Yankees standing out 29:48 - How Sweep It Is: Cubs and their home cooking 40:24 - Braves continue their strong play 54:10 - Turbo Mode: Who else won this weekend?

The Philadelphia Phillies became the second team in the first month of the 2026 season to make a change at the manager position, following the Boston Red Sox making that decision over the weekend. Rob Thomson was relieved of his duties after the Phillies got off to a disappointing 9–19 start to the season, with the hope that a change will be able to jumpstart what has been a sluggish campaign. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Phillies' decision to fire Topper and name Don Mattingly the interim manager, what the vibe was like at Citizens Bank Park yesterday following the firing and the interesting dynamic now between the manager and GM. They also highlight the rather surprising journey that found Thomson at the helm of the Phillies and what could be next for him. Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the debut of Cleveland Guardians' top prospect Travis Bazzana, the impact he'll have on baseball in Australia and whether the draft class he came out of will be one of the best of all time. The guys close the show by discussing Shohei Ohtani not hitting—at least for now—when he pitches and why this is different from what he was doing when he was with the Los Angeles Angels. 1:07 - The Opener: Phillies fire Thomson 15:12 - What to expect from Mattingly 29:45 - Field Report: Travis Bazzana joins the show 39:40 - 2024 MLB Draft class all-timer 48:29 - Kind of a Big Deal: Ohtani not hitting Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The Kansas City Royals swept the Los Angeles Angels to end last week. Will that be the spark that turns the team around? The offense came alive scoring 29 runs over the three-game series.

The New York Mets have found themselves in a really bad position, as they currently sit on an 11-game losing streak, which has led them to the worst record in the National League and tied for the worst in baseball. With the second-highest payroll in all of baseball for 2026, to say this season is not going as expected would be a complete understatement. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Amazins' rough road trip, which concluded with them getting swept in walk-off fashion by the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Even though the Mets are missing Juan Soto due to a calf injury, how exactly they'll be able to change their tune and stop their losing ways remains a bit of a mystery. They also discuss how the Flushing faithful might have a little less faith in this new core that was brought in during the offseason. Later, Jake and Jordan recap all the other action from the weekend, including the Atlanta Braves sweeping the Philadelphia Phillies on the back of their MLB-best pitching staff and Salvador Perez showing displeasure at getting a rest while the Kansas City Royals were swept by the New York Yankees. Then the guys talk about Munetaka Murakami smashing home runs for the Chicago White Sox and remember Los Angeles Angels great Garret Anderson. 0:55 - The Opener: Mets have lost 11 in a row 18:28 - Braves are pitching great 29:51 - How Sweep It Is: Yankees over Royals 39:11 - Yordan Alvarez is the Astros' shining light 49:51 - Tony Vitello is learning to win and lose 53:56 - Turbo Mode: Rest of the weekend action Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

And, honestly, that dude has had a lot of injuries over the years.

Jerry's first update starts with the sounds of the Angels beating the Yankees and a preview for Knicks/Hawks which starts tomorrow night. The Wings shut down a reporter's question about the relationship between Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd.

Jerry returns with Mike Trout hitting a HR right after Paul O'Neil talked about how tough the pitcher was to hit. Rami, who's filling in for Eddie, wondered if he can use the women's bathroom since no women work on this floor.

Jerry's got one more cut from the Yankees losing to the Angels. Francisco Lindor was on with Pardon My Take and then Jerry had a clip of Frank The Tank saying Lindor plays ‘grab ass' with the other team. Jason Whitlock talked about LaMelo Ball being tatted up and being immature. Nick Wright called LaMelo a clown. Lavar Ball responded by saying Wright is the clown because he has long hair and a big ass nose. Adults.

The Los Angeles Angels split their series with the New York Yankees in the Bronx this past week, and while the team cares about results, what they saw from Mike Trout might be the most encouraging takeaway. The three-time MVP turned back the clock against the Bronx Bombers and had one heck of a series at the dish. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about Trout's performance, which included five home runs in four games, and why it could be a good sign for his 2026 campaign if he can stay healthy. They also discuss Trout sharing the field with Aaron Judge—also a three-time MVP—and the mutual respect the two sluggers clearly have for each other after they both put on a show. Later, Jake and Jordan dive into a few eye-opening early-season stats from MLB's newly implemented Automatic Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system, including who is challenging the most, who is challenging the least and what these trends could be telling us about team strategies. They then close the show by making their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla, highlighting Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing's strong performance at the plate and an interesting post-playing career from a former dominant closer. 1:07 - The Opener: Mike Trout is BACK 14:23 - What is Trout doing differently? 29:30 - ABS Workout: Early-season trends 51:31 - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla 1:12:30 - Breaking News: Padres are being sold Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Since we know what happened with the Mets we move on to Don Orsillo on the call for the Padres, who have been on a roll. We also heard the game winner in New York with Rickie Ricardo on the call for the Yankees. The Moment of The Day: Everyone wearing 42 confused the announcers.

Jerry is here and we hear Devin Williams give up a grand slam as the Mets lost. The Yankees came back in the ninth when the Angels had a miscommunication in the infield and dropped a pop up to short. Also, around the NBA for the play-in games. Jalen Brunson is getting ready for the electric energy at MSG this weekend.

Jerry with the sounds of Francisco Lindor not charging an infield hit, Devin Williams giving up a grand slam in relief and Carlos Mendoza after the game. The Yankees come back in the ninth when the Angels had a miscommunication in the infield and dropped a pop up to short. Around the NBA from the play in games. Chris Simms tried to talk about the Dianna Russini situation and Mike Florio shut him down.

Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Bryce Elder of the Atlanta Braves. Bryce breaks down the offseason adjustments that have fueled his hot start this season and how he's evolved on the mound.The conversation also dives into the growing role of technology in baseball and how the game is balancing innovation while still keeping the human element with umpires. They touch on the recent bench-clearing moment between the Braves and the Los Angeles Angels, and Bryce shares how he's staying mentally sharp as he plays through the final year of his rookie contract.

Jerry with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Dodgers and Mendoza was asked about their lack of hitting. The Yankees lost to the Angels, who hit 7 home runs in the win. We heard the sounds of Charlotte beating the Heat.

Jerry starts with the Angels hitting 5 home runs last night to beat the Yankees. The Mets lost again but Francisco Lindor finally hit his first HR and got his first RBI. Nolan McLean pitched great but no win. The Blue Jackets head coach was pissed at the effort of his team.

Jerry's first update brings the sounds of the Dodgers beating the Mets again. Carlos Mendoza talked about the terrible at bats in the ninth. The Yankees gave up back to back to back home runs in the first. Ryan Weathers talked about that rough first inning. Joe Schoen talked about the Dexter Lawrence situation.

Mets shut out yet again. Carlos Mendoza talked about the effort but not having good at bats. Yankees beating the Angels, 11-10. Jerry brought up the fact that Boomer is wearing sweatpants today. Lou Williams talked about the Hawks playing the Knicks and how all the pressure is on the Knicks.
