Locked On MLB - Daily Podcast On Major League Baseball

Tampa Bay Rays punch back to tie the ALCS, exposing the Cleveland Guardians' postseason formula—when José Ramírez struggles, Cleveland's chances crater. With Freddie Peralta delivering six shutout innings and catcher Liam Hicks driving in key runs, the Rays capitalize on Guardians miscues to seize momentum. Can Tampa’s bullpen depth and timely trade acquisitions like Peralta and Hicks keep them in control as the series heads to Cleveland?
Sully breaks down how underrated trade deadline moves from both the Rays and Guardians are shaping October, challenging the notion that flashy deals always pay off. Topics include playoff X-factors like Ramírez and Gavin Williams, sharp pitching decisions, and whether Shohei Ohtani’s struggles will force the Dodgers’ hand in the NLCS. Which unsung hero will decide the next game—and could the ALCS turn on a single Ramirez swing?

The Tampa Bay Rays did what they needed to do in ALCS Game 2, bouncing back after a tough loss in Game 1 to the Cleveland Guardians. The Rays got a great pitching performance from a resurgent Freddy Peralta, and they took advantage of a huge Jose Ramirez error. With two outs, a grounder to Ramirez hit the lip of the turf at Tropicana Field and went through his legs, ultimately leading to all three Rays runs. The ALCS is now tied 1-1 as the scene shifts to Cleveland.
The focus now shifts to NLCS Game 3, which has the Los Angeles Dodgers on the ropes against the MLB-best Milwaukee Brewers, who lead the series 2-0. There's been talk about LA benching Shohei Ohtani. The Game Night hosts have thoughts.
