September 12, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

The Los Angeles Angels 'Angel' the Mariners on Monday night, as a back-and-forth battle into extra innings saw some late-game heroics from Brandon Drury, Nolan Schanuel, Zach Neto, and Randal Grichuk to put the Angels up over the Ms, 8-5! It came after Reid Detmers went pitch for pitch with Seattle's Logan Gilbert, and while the Angels gained and lost the lead to an unreal Julio Rodriguez home run, the Halos gave the Mariners the ol' "Tungsten Arm" O'Doyle treatment to J-Rod while knocking t...

Los Angeles Angels Win Guardians Series! Nolan Schanuel Sets Record, Luis Rengifo to IL, A Mike Trout Trade?

September 11, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

The Los Angeles Angels still have the ability to win baseball games, as they demonstrated over the weekend, taking 3 of 4 from the Cleveland Guardians! The Guardians have not had the strongest offense this season, but it was great to see some strong pitching performances out of Tyler Anderson and Kenny Rosenberg as well as the bullpen! The young stars of the team showed off as well, as Logan O'Hoppe appears to be getting his timing back after knocking home runs in back-to-back games. Mike an...

September 08, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

The Los Angeles Angels do not have many games left this season, and with the disappointing play they've had on the field, we're happy to be taking your questions for Fanmail Friday! On today's show, you asked about Mike Trout and his ability to be a locker room leader, and we dive into why it seems he hasn't done that so far. With young guys like Zach Neto, Logan O'Hoppe, and Nolan Schanuel making a splash in the big leagues, now is the perfect time for Trout to step up. We'll discuss in seg...

Los Angeles Angels Lose 6 Straight, Is Zach Neto Our Adley Rutschman? Phil Nevin's "Team Meeting"

September 07, 2023 11:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

The Los Angeles Angels have lost 6 games in a row after being swept by the Baltimore Orioles, after Patrick Sandoval struggled once again. The team just doesn't seem to have any fire or urgency, and it's why Mike believes Shohei Ohtani should do what's best for himself and get the procedure he needs to correct the UCL injury he suffered two weeks ago. Mike has a recap of the game and he'll explain why he believes Ohtani should move forward without the Angels for the rest of the season. Then...

September 06, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MB

The Los Angeles Angels had the chance to take a victory against the Baltimore Orioles, but Carlos Estevez was unable to secure the save once again in the 9th inning. After a back-and-forth game that saw both the Orioles and Angels have leads, it came down to extra innings, and the O's were able to get the ghost runner across while the Angels did not. Reid Detmers delivered a quality start, and Nolan Schanuel, Brandon Drury, Luis Rengifo, and Mike Moustakas all had good games, but the Orioles...

September 05, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

The Los Angeles Angels fell short against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night, after Kenny Rosenberg delivered a quality start and the Angels had some nice displays from guys who will be part of the team for the foreseeable future. Despite the loss, there was still a lot of news before the game, including that Tim Salmon and Chuck Finley will be part of the dugout as members of the staff. What does this mean for the Halos' direction moving forward? We'll talk about it and give you a game r...

Los Angeles Angels Have Hit Rock Bottom: Embarrassed & Swept by Oakland A's, What's Up with the Luxury Tax Mess?

September 04, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MB

The 2023 Los Angeles Angels may go on record as the biggest meltdown in MLB, and perhaps all of sports. After failing to unload their players on the waiver wire and get under the Luxury Tax for the purposes of not being penalized and getting a better draft pick should Shohei Ohtani not return, the word on whether or not they have is still questionable with the recent move of Max Stassi to the restricted list. But isn't this just indicative of how poorly the Angels have been run and performed...

Los Angeles Angels Owner Arte Moreno: Why Does He Own This Team? 10-8 Win Over Phillies, Are the Halos Fixable?

August 31, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

The Los Angeles Angels were able to get the win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, thanks in part to a game-winning 2-run homer from Brandon Drury and a save from Carlos Estevez! It was not an easy victory, however, as the lead switched back and forth multiple times before the Halos could secure the win. The Angels were even able to "Tungsten Arm" the Phillies! We'll tell you how in segment 1! Then, the other day Jon wondered; are the Halos fixable? He shared his thoughts on Twitt...

Los Angeles Angels Waiver Wire Fire Sale: What Is Going On? 12-7 Phillies Loss, Halos Are Trend Setters?

August 30, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

The Los Angeles Angels essentially threw in the towel on the 2023 season on Tuesday, after it was announced that players like Matt Moore, Hunter Renfroe, Randal Grichuk, and Lucas Giolito were placed on waivers. What essentially amounts to a salary dump comes less than a month after the Angels went "all in," and the team's poor performance in August all but reduced their playoff hopes to 0%. It's a very Arte Moreno move, and while there is definitely nuance to the decision that does help put...

Los Angeles Angels KEEP Giving Leads Back, Lose 6-4 to Phillies, CJ Wilson's Tweets, Bad Clubhouse Culture?

August 29, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

The Los Angeles Angels just can't seem to hold a lead the minute they get one, as evidenced by their loss to the Phillies on Monday night. Despite the offense scoring runs early, Lucas Giolito couldn't keep the Phillies from returning the favor in the next half-inning. It's a trend that's plagued the Angels all season long, and even though the Halos had plenty of hits, they couldn't deliver enough to overcome Philadelphia. We've got your recap in segment 1! Then, former Angels starting pitc...

He's continued to play through the UCL injury as expected, and GM Perry Minasian spoke to the media about the timeline of events leading up to his injury and Shohei feeling like an MRI wasn't necessary when dealing with previous issues.

August 23, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

The Los Angeles Angels and the Cincinnati Reds played game 1 of this 3-game set over two days, and game 1 saw the return of Mike Trout and a strong start from Lucas Giolito. Unfortunately, both were spoiled by some fielding issues; an all-or-nothing dive from Hunter Renfroe and an error on Nolan Schanuel at 1st allowed the Reds to come back to put the Halos down 4-3. Elly De La Cruz ran circles around the bases and Reds starter had a career-high 10 strikeouts against the Angels, and homers f...

The Los Angeles Angels dropped another game to the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, falling 7-3 after a "Meh" start from Lucas Giolito. There wasn't much to speak of in this game other than the weird accidental home run from Corey Seager that Jordyn Adams caught, then it bounced out of his glove and over the wall in the same stadium Jo Adell did it in back in 2020. Mike and Jon discuss the game, but also get into what's left on the team to cheer for? Who can we root for and be excited about, ...

August 15, 2023 11:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MB

The Los Angeles Angels really did their best to suck the life out of being a fan on Monday night against the Texas Rangers. They might be forgiven for having a tough time against future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer, but it was more than that; it was the poor play on the field, the shoddy defense, and the mental mistakes that really made it hard to root for them. Patrick Sandoval had a short night, the Halos mustered up 1 hit, and Eduardo Escobar had to pitch to finish the game. Well, we've got...
