The Locked On Dodgers Podcast is your daily podcast about the Los Angeles Dodgers, hosted by Jeff Snider (@snidog) and Vince Samperio (@vincesince91). If you want smart, passionate takes on the Dodgers every morning while you drive to work, Locked On Dodgers is the ticket. Vince and Jeff bleed Dodger Blue just like you do, and after 2020 both of them have been alive to see our Boys in Blue win it all. If Vin Scully had listened to podcasts, this is the one he'd have listened to (we're pretty sure). Part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
Los Angeles Dodgers Take Series vs. Rockies Behind Enough Offense + Solid Pitching
The Dodgers took two of three from the Rockies before heading to the East Coast for a big week. Gavin Stone and Yoshinobu Yamamoto provided solid pitching, the bullpen didn't allow any runs and the offense did just enough for the wins. Now the team heads to face the two rookies from Pittsburgh before going to New York to take on the Yankees. Overall, the Dodgers pitching has been really good this season, and the bullpen is starting to emerge as a real strength despite some injuries. Lastly, what should the Dodgers do at the bottom of the order? Tommy Pham is a name to consider, but will that be a potential issue?

Thanks Jeff. Good story about Y. P.
Enjoy your vacation Mr. Vince you'll be missed.
Actually I like our pitching that's scheduled to go against the Yankees, at the end of the week. Yamamoto, Glasnow and yesterday's pitcher Gavin Stone, Gavin has been red hot lately, including yesterday.
Have a great vacation Vince. Go Dodgers.
Hey Vince and Jeff. I can't be the only one who doesn't want the postcast version. I subscribe to locked on Dodgers for your guy's take on the team and games. I allow notifications and auto downloads also. I presume this is out of your hands but I don't need the other show shoved down my throat. It should be on it's own. Pls
I can pass along the feedback, but you're right that it's out of our hands. I hope you'll keep listening to us and just skip the Postcasts if they're not for you.
@@LockedOnDodgers of course I will 🙌🏼
Gavin better than Yama
Disrespect on Mookie not cool
Who disrespected Mookie?
?
18:59 yoshi c- Teo and James A- Ohtani A- maybe B+
Maybe bullpen help should be a priority, one more high leverage arm would be great.
Gavin Stone is here to stay! Why send down an established pitcher and destroy his Confidence 👋 🤔 😒
Just keep in mind if it's not Reds pitcher threw a pick-off at Ohtani's hamstring caused more than 10 days of contusion injury which affected Ohtani's batting form, avg, hit numbers, and even running ability, Ohtani would have even far better May hitting than now. Even Ohtani seemed dealing with pains whenever he ran bases & struggled with every swing at AB, Ohtani still kept in the lineup and produced the best he could with an injury. His hitting and running numbers were obviously far lower at this injury time than earlier on but Ohtani still contributed some hits and runs while other team members' bats were even colder than Ohtani before Mets games like Smith and the whole bottom lineup. That's why Robert kept Ohtani in the lineup even at times when his pains got worse from the contusion injury. Even at he 1st 2 AB of last game against Mets Ohtani was running with discomfort on his face and his running was little strange, Ohtani at the end was clutching enough to produce 2 hits 3RBI with an impressive 1st career HR in Citi Field. Ohtani's professionalism therefore should add onto Ohtani's grading to become A+(not forget to mention he alone produced a run and connected to 2 RBI by 2 hits and 2 stealings in another game that Ohtani alone shone and fought till his pants all torn apart while most Dodgers bats were silent and chilled and then Dodgers lost)!
Great job tonight. Go Dodgers
You could tell Vince couldn't wait for Jeff to stop talking in the beginning
Take out "in the beginning" and you could be talking about my wife all the time.
To let Jeff know, that the third Dodger besides Jason Heyward, Chris Taylor to hit a triple and a homerun in the same game that they didn't start, and he said he couldn't think of the 3rd guy from 1961 that did, just googled it, it was Gordie Windhorn.
Hopefully this helps Shohei go off on a long power tear again as he usually goes off during the summer
That's right Jeff, we DON'T have to listen! But we do because you guys are great !😉 (I can never figure out how to get the live broadcast right after the games !)
Follow us on UA-cam and click the little bell and then you should get notified when we're going live.
Not confident in Jason Heyward’s ability to bunt? I’m not confident enough in Heyward’s ability to get a hit!
It helps to face an offense in the Mets that looks like extras in a Walking Dead episode
Does anyone ever do a double take when the diction on the letter 'b' makes it sound like Locked On Dodgers is brought to you by "Ippei Motors" ?
Great to see, in the end it’s all about situational hitting and contributions from everybody. Freeman getting back on track, 6-9 hitting, great to see
Pls get rid of that other bs after a gm! I want to hear you guys, not some other nonsense
Chris Taylor is worth holding onto just for implementing small ball into the Dodgers offensive game 🎮 plan!!!
"Small" being the key word…
Like I said on the show, if they could guarantee he'd always come up with a runner on third and less than two outs, sure.
Goatani turns to little sheep today.
Shohei is defnitely in a slump, hope things will turn around quickly for him
He's not in a slump he's got an injured hammy the Dodgers need to stop sending out injured players and let them rest
@@Mr1stcat it’s not an injury mate. It’s just a bruise. Although it could affect his hitting a bit, it wouldn’t be much. So he’s in a slump. That’s totally fine, every player gets into that a few times during a season anyway.
Let's get hot now 🔥
Man I hate the Dodgers, but we fans all share our hate for Angel. Worst ump ever. I share in your joy he is retiring. Go Padres!
This guy just didn't seem to take his job seriously.
Yaahoooo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Outman has to be tearing it up down in OKC to even be considered for a call up.
I had to comment even tho I listened on Spotify. The hate you have on this ump is ridiculous. You make me want to keep them for strikes and balls for them ever.. coming from a white dude
No hate. It's just that him being bad at his job made my favorite sport less enjoyable for me, so I'm glad he doesn't do the job anymore. There's much more actual hate for Hernandez elsewhere on the internet. (Not sure what you being a white dude has to do with anything, though.)
I heard a comment today from Bruce Bochy after he lost his first world series and then won his first world series. The difference was a sense of urgency. They had to be all in and not care about hurting anyone's feelings. So I don't care if they hurt Chris Taylor's feelings. Or Lux. Or Kershaw. Or if Freeman has to sit a game. All in means All in.
Sincere question: When did Bochy learn that? Because there were 12 years between when he lost the World Series and when he finally won it. When did he start getting urgent? And did he decide to go back to not being urgent in 2011 and 2013 and 2015-19? I know that sounds sarcastic, and it probably is a little bit, but my point is that there's no ONE answer to how to win a World Series. And there's no evidence that the Dodgers don't feel a sense of urgency to win or that they're not "all in." What happens if two teams have the same sense of urgency? Or, heaven forbid, 13 teams? At least one of those teams won't even make the postseason despite the urgency! Bochy is a legend, for sure. But I don't think even he has figured out the secret to winning in the postseason, because I don't think the secret exists. I mean, it does - the secret is "play better than the other teams" - but beyond that, everyone is just guessing and doing their best.
I guess he probably meant it was an organizational thing. Obviously you can't win every year but he has 4. 3 in 5 seasons. And if everyone had the same urgency, the luckiest, healthiest, hottest team would probably win. What I took from it was that it seems to me they cater to Kershaw and others for past performance. I think this organization needs to be that boss who doesn't try to make everyone happy and it's win now. Screw everyone's feelings. Act like the window is closing type of urgency. Not panic, urgency. That's what I got out of it. All the chips in! Who's with me?
Okay, I guess I just disagree with you about what the Dodgers are actually doing. I don't get any sense of "make everyone happy."
Thanks for the reply
Thank God hit the road Jack
this is baseball. Enjoy the downs and be ready to explode in exitement when this team circles the wagons and steps up, from players to front office. Romantically, you would think for the fans...but this time its for the best baseball player in the world. They cant let him down. I am not worried. I like this team's chancesl to achieve complete game potential and go deeper in the post. Go dodgers.
Oh I forgot about this other one: In my case (although for some reason I have the feeling it's the case of many other Dodgers fans), I know and it's only obvious that the players are the ones who have to go out and perform and it's impossible for them to always perform at the highest level (the expectations many fans have about wining every single time are plainly absurd). It's also only evident that Roberts personality is completely different from Tommy's that's not the issue since I don't want them to be the same. But it's up to the manager (and here comes my "lack of fire" problem with Roberts) to try to stamp on the team certain phylosophy if you will and try to have the team open to other ways to win baseball games (are they going to always? NO! but they should, imho, have and be open to try other ways to win or to snap from a slump. I'm referring to: are Ohtani, Betts and Freeman the only ones with green light to steal? If so, why don't they try more? why does it seems that Rojas and Barnes are the only ones that know how to bunt a ball? Why haven't he tried batting Freeman 2nd and Ohtani 3rd? In the last postseason why didn't he talked to Freeman and Betts? what about double steals? a squeeze?....
1. How come you agree on a PITCHER's record not being indicative of how good they are while at the same time saying that a MANAGER's record IS indicative of a good manager? 2. Being a fiery manager doesn't necesarilly implies you can't be a peoples manager, OF COURSE it's important to be a good manager of egos (specially in a team full of stars) but not wanting to hurt someone's feelings is not managing egos, and it all points towards Roberts just trying to keep everyone happy (clubhouse, FO, media...). 3. Jeff, you say Roberts makes it fun to watch...really? you're having a blast every time you see CT3 at the plate? Or he sat down CUlberson after his really good NLCS only to see Seager fail miserably? 4. In these days of not wanting to hurt anybodies feelings of course Tommy would have it difficulties managing this giant egos...what would Roberts could've done with the 1988 Dodgers? 5. You say everyone loves Roberts...is it though? or itr's just that nowadays no one want's the bad press of coming out to say something against your skipper (ex-skipper)?
The Kershaw book made it crystal clear he isn't a Dave fan.
@modder15 And yet Kershaw keeps taking less money to come back and play for Dave some more.
@edomarpez1840 1. I'm not saying "Roberts has the best record therefore he's the best ever." I'm saying "Roberts has the best record therefore he's probably not the worst ever like people say." If a pitcher went 27-3, I'd feel pretty strongly that he wasn't the worst pitcher in the league. 2. I disagree that Roberts "just trying to keep everybody happy." I think Roberts is actually a very good leader, including having hard conversations in productive ways. 3. I don't care how well Charlie Culberson is playing, Corey Seager is always a better option. "Hot hand" is a myth in baseball. 4. We'll never know what Roberts would have done with the 1988 Dodgers. What we DO know is that it was Kirk Gibson, not Tommy Lasorda, who kicked them in the pants in spring training and brought the intensity. 5. There's a difference between not saying something bad about a manager and actively singing his praises.
@@LockedOnDodgers So: 1. I didn't say you did. Neither I said Roberts is the worst. All I was asking is why a pitcher's record is not taken into account for his quality and a manager's record is. 2. Last postseason a reporter asked Roberts if he had a chat with Mookie and Freddie about their slump and his answer was something around "No, they're professionals and they know what they're doing and what's expected" that seems like he just lets the players do as they see fit. And I don't mean only talk to them but, for example, he normally doesn't try with lineup order changes... 3. If Corey was coming out a long back injkury and is not producing, how come he's a better option than a guy who IS producing? makes no sense. If "hot hand" is a myth then that means you think AZ had a better team than the Dodgers or the Padres the season prior to that one? 4. Yup, Gibson was the kicker in the pants but Tommy (with others) maintained that intensity through the season. I mean, sometimes, players will get out of slumps by their own but other times some of them might need to be pushed. 5. Yup, there's a huge difference. It's just that I don't see ALL his players singing his praises either. (shoulder shrug)
I probably put more weight on a pitcher's W/L record than a manager's. The difference is that pitchers don't get blamed for every loss like Dave Roberts does, so I end up talking about Roberts more. I can't imagine what result Roberts having a chat with Mookie and Freddie while they're slumping would be expected to have. They ARE professionals and they DO know what they're doing and what's expected. Roberts talking to them about it would be the definition of eyewash. One of the most common criticisms of Roberts over the years has been that he tinkers too much with the lineup. Now that he has three former MVPs at the top, the criticism has shifted to him not tinkering enough. Someday maybe we'll all realize that the lineup order hardly matters at all. Hot had being a myth doesn't man teams don't get hot. Clearly the DBacks got hot and the Dodgers got cold last October. But know who didn't win the World Series? The hot DBacks, because staying hot is different than being hot. The myth is that the guy who is hot right now will stay hot.
Freeman needs to hit behind Mookie, don't get why Ohtani is hitting ahead of him. Freeman was great behind Mookie.
I've been saying it for 7 years & I see no cause for refrain because it absolutely bears repeating. Dave Roberts has accomplished the very least with by far the most (i.e scouting & player development apparatus, talent, fanbase, athletic/training facilities, personnel & human resources, information technology, travel/team management, P.R./media & community outreach, etc.) than any coach, manager, trainer or corporate executive for any team, in any sport, anywhere in the world, at any point in time throughout the history of sport & sports mgmt. I don't hate him for his failures & shortcomings, but I am mad as hell at the team for allow it to continue, during which time, Andrew Friedman & Co. have kept their fingers on the pulse of every aspect of operations on every level, have been swift to react to every need as it emerges with deft baseball acumen & unequivocal mastery, sparing no expense to fill whatever position or vacancy as it emerges with the best available talent & personnel with seamless execution, utmost dacorum & resolve. With such exemplary professionalism on full display, the unwavering support & commitment to Dave Roberts amid the glaring inadequacy in his ability to manage the team & the inability to get the most out of his players in October represents one of the most polarizing & controversial subplots in an otherwise perfectly run organization. The team's apparent indifference to this glaring contradiction is at once, both mind boggling & inexcusable. As the Dodgers regular season success over the last decade is a model of efficiency & success, the inability to execute in the post season sets the standard for abject failure which for which the manager of the team should rightly be held to account, but somehow has been given a pass & seemingly bears no responsibility whatsoever for the team's historic futility when it matters most. Dave Roberts has done the least with the most than any manager in MLB history & at sime point, the front office will have no other choice but to find someone who can make the most of it.
Thanks for watching!
@@LockedOnDodgers I'm not watching. That's the point. Just like you're not reading the comments, I'm not watching your content. Only dropped by to leave my two cents worth reaction to the Big 3 disappearing act & the Dave Roberts' debate.
I committed to reading the first paragraph of your comment, but then I didn't have 37 hours to spare, so I stopped and wrote a sarcastic reply instead. Once I disagreed with the first couple sentences I figured the rest was dumb, too. Thanks for watching!
Look this guys lol. Roberts has a stacked lineup year after year. Bet he aint winning no 100 games with Pittsburgh, Miami, Cincinnati. And your supposed "Hall of Fame" manager leaves Lance Lynn to give up four jacks in a row in a do or die game. Thats your genius decision? I bet you will never see that in your lifetime again. I always wonder if you guys actually watch the games
Thanks for watching every day!
I'm starting to believe what the fans are saying, roberts has to go. The team has taken on his identity, we need a coach that will take charge and not accept complacency
It is intellectually dishonest and revisionist to even compare the resources available to Lasorda and Roberts. Lasorda had some good players on his teams, whereas Dave has had the keys to a Lamborghini every single year of his tenure.
Okay. Thanks for watching.
Respect for Roberts
Roberts has got to go. It's not a team slump half are old with no fire in the stove and the other half are just no good. The baseball God's are laughing 🤣
As usual, the ungrateful hosts picked on Ohtani. They intentionally ignored the fact that Ohtani played through injury since May 16 because Roberts needed him on the field.
No one picked on Ohtani. Did you watch the episode? The part where we spent several minutes talking about the injury and how it might be affecting him? If you're going to take offense at every honest acknowledgment of a player's struggles, I don't know what to tell you.
Quit with the 2017 crap. We lost…move on. We quit hitting, remember? Same old Dodgers under Roberts. Trending that way again this year, although it is early. Roberts? Get behind him this year, move on from him if we fail again.
I didn't lose in 2017. I wasn't even on the team. My favorite team lost the World Series because the other team cheated. Sorry if that hurts your feelings, but the fact is that for all the struggles that postseason, the reason the Dodgers lost the World Series is because the Astros won two games when they knew what pitches were coming.
very VERY sad. There MUST be smarter and wiser Baseball heads than mine who can think of a way to FIX this terrible horrible slump!!! The owners have invested far too much $$$ into THIS 2024 team to accept the way things currently are. As one fan said: The 2024 Dodgers are already in POSTSEASON form!!!
our bullpen is terrible. our bottom of the order is equally bad.
Mean the bullpen thats top 5 in mlb? Offense is the issue
A bruised thigh has zero to do with swinging the bat 😂
If you don't think the legs are involved in hitting, I don't know what to tell you.
@LockedOnDodgers Absolutely the legs are involved! I'm saying a bruise on the thigh, wouldn't cause a hitter not to hit! Although he does seem to be a bit fragile.
Okay. I disagree.
Ah' mazin.
"Roberts is the best people-manager in baseball"?? The LADS have been streaky ... mostly losing streaky ... ever since he was hired. THAT happens when the manager isn't managing team emotions. The whole terrible at managing team emotions thing is also why Roberts' teams collapse every October. Yours was an idiotic statement.
Thanks for watching! On this Memorial Day, let's celebrate the freedom you have to be egregiously wrong!
I thought Kike' and Rojas were both going get work at 3B. It seems like it's just been Kike'. Maybe Rojas got one start. Give him another one.
Dave Roberts would be a great T Ball manager! Get him out.
you should listen to your own words.. stop fantasizing about the past. Get over the Astros WS lost.. They cheated move on.. This is the one thing truly annoys me about your channel. They lost. I've been a Dodger fan all my life and i hated it when i found out how they won.. That only helped them when they were being pitched too. What about our team not hitting in the series. I really wish you stop fantasizing the would of, could of, should of of the 2-17 team.
Well, they would have won. There's no doubt about that. But bringing up the 2017 Dodgers is totally irrelevant to the 2024 Dodgers
I don't think about 2017 very often. But when I think about Dave Roberts' postseason record, yes, I do sometime think about the fact that the Astros won that World Series by cheating. There's no fantasizing about the past, but when the commissioner made the decision to not do anything to punish them, he specifically said the Astros would be judged by public opinion. So yeah, when the 2017 World Series comes up, I do sometimes mention that the Astros cheated to win it, because they did. You don't have to join me, and I hope the fact that I acknowledge reality doesn't make you stop watching, but facts is facts.
This is exactly the team that gets bounced in the divisional series…..they probably will again this year and we’ll all say wait until next year…. and we’ll keep doing that until Mookie and Freddy are over. Unless they fix 6-9 and some pitching holes we’re done.
Yep 💯 the dodgers organization, channels like this and some fans need to STOP BEING SO SOFT
No, the difference is that in 2020, they got the homers the relied on. Their HR rate that season was 5.1%; this year it's 3.2%. The difference in their strikeout rates is tiny, the equivalent of about one more strikeout every two games this year. And the 2020 Dodgers won because they got scored a bunch of runs with two outs, which has much more to do with GETTING HITS than with "moving runners over."
