After watching Ohtani and our All-Stars put on a show, it's time to look forward to the next half What did we get right in our predictions in the first half? What did we get wrong? What can we expect in the second half?  How important are the first several games coming out of the All-Star break? What will we know by the trade deadline? And what moves should be made? Angels draft a no-hitter And MORE!
Ohtani looks to add a Home Run Derby championship to his MVP season. Should Angels fans be concerned about whether that will impact his second half? Bauer struggling in his first start being checked for substances.  Is "Not enough evidence to overturn the call" not a thing anymore?

Angels get up over .500 Dodgers continue to beat up on the bad teams Who deserves to be an All-Star? Regression coming for certain pitchers?  
Well, we have reached the 60 game mark for this regular season and neither team is higher than 3rd place. But wait, weren't we all told 60 games is enough to determine the best teams? MLB is cracking down on pitchers cheating. Is this bad news for the Dodgers staff? Both teams looking to turn it around in the next two weeks. 
Ohtani can't make it to the game on time.  Will the Angels turn it around? What is keeping them from doing so? What's wrong with Rendon and Betts? What is wrong with the Angels' clubhouse culture?

Padres and Dodgers just wrapped up two of the most exciting series of the year, resulting in the Padres walking away with 4 out of 7 vs their divisional rivals. Angels and Dodgers have both dropped several games in the last week and a half. How worried are we about our teams? The Dodgers don't have as much depth everyone says they do. Angels pitching is struggling. Would you consider what Tatis did cheating? Should Ohtani hit on the days he pitches? Which early success teams are we not buying?  
After a week of regular season 2021 baseball, both teams are surprisingly good.  We debate whether or not they can keep up this pace. How many games are each team going to win? Is Dylan Bundy a certified ace and a top 15 pitcher in MLB? How important is strength of schedule to start the season for contextualizing what we have seen so far?
The regular season is less than a week away and we couldn't be more excited. In this episode we discuss: What does the league cracking down on foreign substances mean for Trevor Bauer and his spin rate? Why Dylan Bundy can be an ace, and even if he's not, Angels don't need him to be, their rotation is good enough.

Our initial reactions to Bauer going to the Dodgers. What should the Dodgers expect from him? What is the outlook for NL West? Are the Dodgers still that much better than the Padres? Is the Angels rotation enough to get to the postseason and win a potential one-game playoff? Why are the Blue Jays getting so much love and the Angels getting so much hate when their rosters are similar? Are the Dodgers and Angels equally likely to win their respective divisions? Does baseball need a salary floor and a salary cap?
The Dodgers are the 2020 World Series champions and Dodger fans (including Alec) deserve their time to celebrate. But how much significance can you put on a World Series after just a 60 game season?   Is it so different from 162 games? Why?
Dodgers clutch up as the Braves choke away their 3-1 lead and World Series dreams. We talk about all the Dodger fans that thought it was over and were abandoning their team. Was Kershaw's game 4 start that bad? Was it his fault they lost that game? Why do Angels fans have to hate the Dodgers? Where are the Kenley Jansen and Dave Roberts haters? World Series predictions and prop bets.
Dodgers are behind in the series 2 games to 0 after falling 90 feet short of completing a 5 run comeback in the 9th inning.  How are Dodger fans feeling after a start to the NLCS that they did not see coming?

Alec laughs at the idea of Dylan Bundy being a legitimate ace and the fact that Vinnie's opinion of the Angels has changed so drastically since last episode. We preview the pitching matchups of the upcoming Freeway Series and tell each other what their team should be concerned about. Join us next episode for our live reactions and commentary on the Freeway Series!
Their starting pitching has not been the problem, yet the Angels still find themselves with the worst record; not just in the AL, but in all of MLB. The Dodgers are off to a good, not great start.
