Locked On MLB - Daily Podcast On Major League Baseball

USA Men’s Hockey team shocks Canada to clinch gold after 46 years—does this resurgence spark new motivation for Team USA Baseball as they gear up for the World Baseball Classic? Paul Skenes and Tarek Skubal headline a stacked roster, ready to face global competition with fresh pride and intensity. Is patriotism fueling a new era across American sports?

Brett Chancey and Mike Stanton break down MLB’s evolving landscape, focusing on the ABS challenge system, its strategic impact for hitters and catchers, and how players like César Salazar and Chris Sale are adapting. The duo tackles the controversy surrounding Artie Moreno’s claim that winning isn’t a top fan priority for the Los Angeles Angels, questions the effect on clubhouse morale, and discusses critical injuries like the hamate bone affecting stars Jackson Holliday, Francisco Lindor, and Corbin Carroll. Will these changes redefine how baseball is played and watched in 2026?

Spring Training brings fresh hope as MLB fans look to the future—yet the passing of Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski casts a poignant shadow. Sully reflects on Mazeroski’s iconic walk-off homer in the 1960 World Series, his legendary defensive prowess, and his enduring impact on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Is Mazeroski’s legacy the most dramatic in postseason history? The discussion covers the bitter aftermath for Yankees fans, the surprising MVP selection of Bobby Richardson, and the evolving meaning of baseball’s past, present, and future.

 

Spotlight shifts to modern questions: Do teams owe fans a championship, or just a fun, competitive summer? The chaos of the Los Angeles Angels under owner Arte Moreno is examined, with criticisms of prioritizing affordability over winning—have the Angels squandered Mike Trout’s career and lost their way? Sully breaks down fan perspectives on regional championships, the emotional toll of postseason droughts, and why ownership changes might be overdue for both the Angels and Oakland A’s.
