Ryan and Beau examine how the new (and some familiar) faces for the Dodgers have been beneficial acquisitions nearly 2 weeks since the trade deadline. The guys discuss the significance of adding Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly, and Ryan Yarbrough to the pitching staff. Is Mookie Betts the real NL MVP? The Angels and Padres have both fallen flat on their faces. Max Scherzer is a bitter ex, but the New York Mets still deserve to be ridiculed. Plus, the real reason why Eduardo Rodriguez refused to leave Detroit, how Hello Kitty could save the Oakland A's, and one minor league team is sending really weird messages.

The guys examine the scope of the pitching market and identify possible right-handed hitting outfielders that could make sense as platoon bats. How concerned should we be about Julio Urias?

Ryan and Beau react to the events of the All-Star Break and explain why Shohei Ohtani joining the Dodgers prior to next season makes too much sense. Could an Ohtani trade to a different contender ruin the Dodgers' chances at signing the superstar? Ryan has his first in-person exposure to the new era of baseball and breaks down why the pitch clock harms the stadium experience. Can Miguel Vargas get a starting job back by the end of the season? Plus, a new path forward for Dustin May, the truth about the Dodgers' upcoming deadline plans, and Elon Musk out-dorks the biggest dorks.

Ryan and Beau react to a tumultuous start to June for the Dodgers. The guys highlight the positives, as the stars and veterans are carrying the offense, while a legend and a rookie give the only bright spots on the mound. Ryan and Beau examine the rough times for Noah Syndergaard and much of the bullpen and discuss how the Dodgers need to handle these weaknesses. However, the guys break down why there are reasons to be optimistic for a return to form for much of the pitching staff. Plus, what John Sterling calling Dodger games would sound like, the Padres are in a legitimate crisis, and the Oakland A's do not exist.

Ryan and Beau react to the last couple weeks of Dodger baseball, including exciting displays of the future from Bobby Miller and Gavin Stone. The Dodgers have ran into injuries to the starting staff and high mileage on the bullpen, but there are reasons to be optimistic about the pitching staff moving forward. The guys highlight some starting pitchers that could be trade targets ahead of the deadline. Plus, the Padres may be digging too deep of a hole, a truly terrible month for Trayce Thompson, and everyone should hate Marcell Ozuna.

Ryan and Beau react to a hot start to May for the Dodgers and explain why these wins are a great sign for the state of the team in 2023. The Padres were able to steal one win from the streaking Dodgers, but they're instant karma for gloating made the next two wins even more satisfying. How many times does Mookie Betts need to remind you that he's Mookie Betts? Max Muncy is raking, James Outman is legit, Victor Gonzalez is resurging, and Michael Busch is running into the exact problem we expected him to run into. Plus, Noah Syndergaard sees a hypnotist, the White Sox should have a movie made after them, All-Star Break "festivities," and the Cardinal Way has gone from bombastic arrogance to hilariously awful strategy.

Ryan and Beau react to a .500 start for the Dodgers over the first few weeks of the 2023 season. The guys reveal how technical difficulties saved them from instantly cold takes, creating a perfect metaphor for the first month of a baseball season. Max Muncy and Chris Taylor were bad until they suddenly weren't (but CT3 might still be). The bullpen is bad when it needs to be good and good when the offense fails. Plus, new rules may be hurting the Dodgers, Fernando Tatis Jr. destroying AAA is nothing special, and why blink-182 was not the biggest surprise of weekend 1 at Coachella.

Ryan and Beau preview the start of the 2023 season for the Los Angeles Dodgers by diving into the final 26-man roster. The guys discuss the impact of Gavin Lux's injury. James Outman should be a huge contributer this year, but Miguel Vargas should be seen as the most exciting rookie to start the season. Ryan has a stupid reason why Julio Urias actually shouldn't start Opening Day. Plus, high expectations for certain role players, forgiveness for Pete Rose, and the debut of "Overreacting Over Tiny Stories And Assuming They Mean Shohei Ohtani Will Be A Dodger."

Ryan and Beau have shaken off the sadness after the end of the 2022 season and have recommitted to another year of Dodgers baseball. The Dodgers rightfully are changing a decades-old tradition. Trading for Miguel Rojas addresses a wildly underrated need. David Peralta, Alex Reyes, and old friend Jimmy Nelson bring beneficial new layers to the roster. The guys dive into the barrel of fun that is the list of Spring Training Non-Roster Invitees. Plus; Clayton Kershaw skipping the World Baseball Classic is a relief, Manny Machado opting out is no surprise, and the Brewers disrespecting Corbin Burnes is insane.

Ryan and Beau are back with an update on an active offseason around baseball and an uncharacteristically inactive offseason for the Dodgers. The guys explain why all signs point to Trevor Bauer being released now that his suspension is reduced. Noah Syndergaard and JD Martinez are compelling additions. Ryan and Beau break down why every decision this offseason is a step towards going all-in for Shohei Ohtani. Plus, the guys pay their respects to Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger, Gavin Lux at shortstop will probably be a bad thing, and the Mets' spending spree is a good thing but may be a pointless thing.

The 2022 Los Angeles Dodgers won 112 games, with only one of them coming in the 2022 postseason. The Dodgers got bounced by the San Diego Padres after an abysmal, disgusting, horrible, shameful display of baseball from a team that was fresh off of making history. Ryan and Beau dive deep into what went wrong, where the blame should be placed, and how the franchise should move forward. What will this mean for Dave Roberts' future in LA? Plus, a new level of appreciation for 2020, a potential playoff format adjustment incoming, and Ryan is warming up to welcoming in a controversial superstar.

Ryan and Beau celebrate a record-breaking regular season for the Dodgers and are fed up with fans who refuse to appreciate it. Have some confidence in the best team in baseball. A long lost friend may pop up on the postseason roster, and Craig Kimbrel hopefully will not. The Padres beating the Mets could pose both a best-case and worst-case scenario for the Dodgers. Good on Padres fans for being willing to humiliate themselves in a pathetic attempt to take a shot at the Dodgers. Plus, Aaron Judge had an incredible season, but stop acting like 62 is more than 73.

Ryan and Beau return after the Dodgers put the finishing touches on a dominant summer by clinching their 9th NL West title in the last decade. If you want a Craig Kimbrel complaint-fest, look elsewhere, as Kimbrel's new Frozen form may be a sign of good things to come. The guys preview the 26-man playoff roster. Plus, Trayce Thompson is more than deserving of an everyday role at this point.

Ryan and Beau pay tribute to the legendary Vin Scully. Ryan revisits a story he told on the first episode of Swing Shift, the time he met Vin. The San Diego Padres won the trade deadline, but the Dodgers are the only ones who have been winning games since then. Chris Martin and Joey Gallo were the result of a surprisingly, yet also understandably, inactive deadline for the Dodgers. Plus, depth is back, Muncy might be back, and Morosi was right.

MLB Network's Jon Paul Morosi joins Ryan and Beau to discuss the biggest names that may or may not be moved at the trade deadline. JP gives the latest on Juan Soto, including why he believes the Dodgers are not the most likely NL West landing spot, and why Soto will not get an extension regardless of where he lands. Plus, JP breaks down why the Angels will hang on to Shohei Ohtani until he hits free agency, and highlights the pitching trade market headlined by Luis Castillo.
Ryan and Beau react to JP's comments on Soto and explain why they believe no one is more equipped to land the All-Star than the Dodgers. The guys break down all angles of a potential Juan Soto trade, and explore what other moves the Dodgers could make ahead of the deadline. Plus, Clayton Kershaw starting the All-Star Game was a great thing, and the Giants continue to plummet back down to Earth.

Ryan and Beau look back on the last month of Dodger baseball, highlighted by much success against any team not named the Pittsburgh Pirates. Walker Buehler is hitting some growing pains, but it shouldn't be a big deal... right? Injuries and struggles from Craig Kimbrel and Brusdar Graterol have caused the bullpen to come back down to Earth; however, Andrew Friedman's strategy in building the pen is still the way to go. Plus, the Swing Shift curse is alive and well, and the world needs more Tim Andersons and a lot less terrible Star Wars fans.

Ryan and Beau (now a father!) are back for a third season of Swing Shift. The Dodgers are already showing their ability to be the best team in baseball, and the pitching staff is giving numbers unlike anything we've ever seen. Clayton Kershaw is making everyone happy. Blake Treinen will be out until the second half of the season, but the Dodgers already have a suitable replacement in the pen. There are reasons to not be concerned about Max Muncy, but major reasons to be concerned about Justin Turner. The guys spoil the hell out of Doctor Strange 2. Plus, don't let the door hit you on the way out Trevor!

Scott Geirman of DodgerBlue.com joins Ryan and Beau to help break down the pros and cons of the swap of AJ Pollock for Craig Kimbrel. Ryan has discovered just how much he hates Spring Training. What should be made of the Cody Bellinger's struggles in the Spring? Scott gives insight on what to expect from Andrew Heaney, David Price, and Tyler Anderson this year. Jake Lamb missing the Opening Day roster is actually a good sign. Plus, Dave Roberts getting an extension is good and well-deserved, despite how much you may not like it.

Baseball is back in a glorious, beautiful way. Freddie Freeman is actually a Dodger, and Ryan and Beau are 100% responsible for this, no one can take that away from us. Thankfully, Clayton Kershaw is back to possibly finish his career in Los Angeles. Kenley Jansen deserves your respect, but this was the right time to let him leave. The Rockies are actually trying, the Giants are acting like they’re trying, and the Padres are crying. Plus, a flurry of roster moves, a distant memory of a lockout, and Andrew Friedman loves Nelly.
