Brock & Alex Middays

Its Brock & Alex with Alex Curry and Ben Stevens in for Brock Vereen! Hour 4 previews Dodgers-Twins Game 2, with Justin Wrobleski facing Joe Ryan and the Dodgers needing cleaner offense after relying on solo homers in the opener. Khobi Price joins to break down the Lakers at No. 25, what type of player they need, and how much pressure is on Pelinka this offseason. The show closes with crosstalk in...

Its Brock & Alex with Alex Curry and Ben Stevens in for Brock Vereen! Hour 3 resets the Lakers pressure with Dodgers ownership taking over and why Rob Pelinka may be running out of excuses if he cannot build the right roster around Luka and LeBron. Then the Dodgers injury concerns continue, with Tucker’s back spasms and Rushing’s concussion evaluation testing their depth again. The hour wraps with...

Brock and Alex opened with the Dodgers’ biggest lineup issue: nobody has locked down the No. 2 spot behind Shohei Ohtani. Dave Roberts is not ignoring the offensive problem, but he is shifting attention to what the Dodgers are doing well — playing elite defense, saving runs, and winning with fundamentals. The hour also hit the Lakers’ Giannis rumor cycle, with the real focus being whether LA can l...

The second hour focused on Shohei Ohtani’s Cy Young chances starting to fade. His MVP case is still strong, but after recent rougher starts and limited innings in the Dodgers’ six-man rotation, the award path is getting tougher. Anthony Irwin joined to break down the Lakers’ offseason, Giannis rumors, possible center targets, LeBron’s future, Austin Reaves, and the No. 25 pick. The hour wrapped wi...

Hour 3 previewed the Dodgers opening a nine-game road trip in Minnesota against a Twins team playing better than its record. The Dodgers have dropped back-to-back games, while the Twins have won three straight series, making this a sneakier matchup than it looks. The Lakers draft conversation centered on finding the right fit next to Luka Dončić at pick No. 25, whether that is a lob-threat center...

The final hour reset the Dodgers-Twins opener, with Eric Lauer getting the ball as LA begins its long road stretch. Lauer has been a sneaky important arm for the Dodgers, but Minnesota already hit him hard earlier this season, making this a real test. The show also reset the Lakers’ biggest offseason questions, including the draft, whether Giannis was ever realistic, and how Rob Pelinka builds aro...

Brock & Alex opened the show with the Dodgers continuing to win close games, but the bigger question was how aggressive they should be with Shohei Ohtani while he is dealing with a knee issue and a blister. The hour also touched on another Mike Trout injury and what it means for the Angels, before wrapping with Do You Care, LA!

Hour 2 featured Rams defensive back Quentin Lake in studio to talk about the Rams’ defense, Myles Garrett, team expectations and the energy around the upcoming season. The show then shifted to the Lakers and whether LeBron James is really ready to be the third option next to Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves.

The hour wrapped with the Rams-Seahawks rivalry, Jared Verse...

Hour 4 previewed the Dodgers-Orioles weekend series at Dodger Stadium, with Roki Sasaki opening the series and the Dodgers trying to keep stacking wins at home.

The show closed...

Brock and Alex open the show with the Dodgers completing their sweep of the Rays behind Freddie Freeman’s go-ahead home run and three scoreless innings from the bullpen. Shohei Ohtani was not fully sharp while pitching through a blister and knee inflammation, but the Dodgers still found a way to win their third straight one-run game. The hour also includes Tim Barbalace joining to preview the Orio...

Hour 4 brings the Dodgers conversation back to Game 1 against the Orioles, with Roki Sasaki getting the ball Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Brock and Alex look at whether the Dodgers can keep stacking wins without making every game come down to the final inning. The hour also resets the Lakers’ Luka and Kevin Love storylines before closing with cross talk into D’Mac and Reiter.

Hour 3 previews the Dodgers’ weekend series against the Orioles and asks whether this is the weekend LA turns close wins into cleaner wins. The conversation focuses on Roki Sasaki, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Emmet Sheehan, and how dangerous Baltimore’s lineup can still be. The Lakers discussion centers on Kevin Love and whether adding him would be a real basketball move or more of a LeBron comfort move,...

Brock and Alex opened the show with the Dodgers’ 1-0 win over the Rays, led by Justin Wrobleski’s six shutout innings and Shohei Ohtani’s solo home run. The conversation shifted to whether Wrobleski is becoming one of the Dodgers’ most reliable starters. The hour also hit LeBron James’ contract situation with the Lakers and whether he should take less money to help the team build a contender. The...

Hour 2 focused on the Dodgers’ day-game lineup against the Rays, with Ohtani pitching but not hitting and Tommy Edman making his first start of the season. Brock and Alex discussed how the Dodgers’ lineup changes without Ohtani’s bat and who needs to step up offensively. The hour continued with Edman saying his ankle finally feels normal again after surgery, and how his versatility gives Dave Robe...

Hour 3 opened with the big Ohtani debate: if he cannot pitch and hit right now, should the Dodgers sit him until he is healthy enough to do both? Brock and Alex talked through whether the Dodgers need Ohtani the hitter more than Ohtani the pitcher at this point in the season. The hour then moved to the World Cup and whether FIFA can turn LA into a true soccer city beyond the hardcore fans. The hou...

Hour 4 reset the Dodgers’ day game, checking in on Tommy Edman’s return and Ohtani’s start on the mound. Brock and Alex also reset the LeBron conversation and the money question facing the Lakers as free agency approaches.

Brock and Alex open the show with the Dodgers taking Game 1 from the Rays in a complete team win. Kyle Tucker tied the game with a three-run homer and saved a run with his arm, Eric Lauer settled in after early trouble, and Miguel Rojas delivered the go-ahead pinch-hit homer. Then the Lakers conversation shifts to the Luka Doncic era and whether Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes should really be offs...

Hour 2 starts with the Rams’ cap flexibility and whether Les Snead should stay patient or get aggressive again. The Rams have room to create money through restructures, but the question is whether that should be used for future extensions or another big move. Then the Lakers offseason officially begins, with the draft, free agency, LeBron, Austin Reaves and roster needs all on the board. The hour...

Hour 3 starts with the most LA World Cup conversation possible: Time Out’s $1.75 Metro bus experience compared to Producer Shay’s $48 Uber experience. The takeaway is that Metro worked, but convenience still matters in LA. Then the show resets the Dodgers injury board with Edman coming back, Ohtani’s knee being monitored, Glasnow still shut down, and bullpen pieces like Brock Stewart and Evan Phil...

Hour 4 opens with a Dodgers-Rays Game 2 preview as Justin Wrobleski gets the ball on four days rest to help line up Shohei Ohtani for Wednesday before the off day.

Then the show lets fans know where to watch the World Cup around LA, with Fan Zones at places like...

The hour closes with Do You Care LA, including...

The hour wraps with the...
