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 af ..read more

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 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 point ..read more

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 ..read more

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.
