Ryan and Beau look back on a year on COVID and it's impact on the sports world. The guys have the perfect solution for a Dodgers 2020 Championship celebration. A Spring Training update: DJ Peters, Matt Beaty, and David Price make things interesting. Plus, Wandavision was good and many of the complaints about the ending are dumb.

Ryan and Beau look at the biggest Dodger and MLB storylines of the last couple weeks. Justin Turner is back home. Dave Roberts shockingly speaks kindly of Kenley Jansen. Fernando Tatis Jr.'s extension is a great thing for baseball. The guys highlight a few players to watch this Spring. Plus, the depths of Kevin Mather's idiocy go beyond what people realize and Trevor Bauer is doing Trevor Bauer th...

Trevor Bauer is a Dodger. It’s ok to be happy about it (the Dodgers’ rotation is stupid). It’s ok to be mad about it (Trevor Bauer has been stupid). Ryan and Beau have an honest discussion about all angles of the Bauer signing. Plus, Bob Nightengale reaches his final form and the Angels are a hilarious franchise. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan and Beau pay tribute to Tommy Lasorda and Ryan reflects on the time his life intersected with Lasorda’s. Hank Aaron was somehow underrated. Stop saying politics are keeping Curt Schilling out of the Hall of Fame. Re-signing Justin Turner may be the only option left. Thanks for the memories Enrique, Wood, and probably Joc.

Ryan and Beau begrudgingly thank the San Diego Padres for starting the offseason. Blake Treinen is back (!) and still the bullpen may not be done. However, it’s time for us all to start the grieving process for Justin Turner’s Dodger career. Blake Snell and Yu Darvish make the Padres better, but still not better than the Dodgers. Shame on the large-market Padres for taking advantage of the small-m...

Ryan and Beau discuss the latest happenings in the MLB offseason. The time is nigh for a Corey Seager extension. No one will take Justin Turner from the Dodgers. Be excited about Corey Knebel. Tragically hilarious bathroom mishaps, minor league stories, and Beau wants Marvel movies to stop. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Blake Williams, lifelong Dodgers fan and member of the Internet Baseball Writers Association of America, joins Ryan and Blake to take a deep dive into the 2020 MLB offseason. The guys examine the cases for each Dodgers free agent and explain why some are more likely to stay in LA than you would think. The guys preview the scope of the offseason as a whole - where will the biggest names land and ho...

THE DODGERS WON THE WORLD SERIES. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. Clayton Kershaw is a World Champion. Justin Turner is a World Champion (and the COVID situation is very bad, but more blame needs to be placed on MLB than JT). Plus, the MLB offseason will go horribly and is already off to a terrible start. BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER TO THE DODGERS CAUSE THEY ARE WORLD CHAMPS. Learn more about your ad choices. V...

Despite finding a way to force Dodger fans to abandon all hope, the Dodgers are going back to the World Series. An in-depth breakdown of the NLCS against the Braves. A step-by-step recounting of how Dave Roberts lost his job and won it back (for now). A preview of the World Series vs. the Rays. Plus, the Astros return to the trash cans they belong in and Rob Manfred continues to try and kill his s...

As expected, partying in the streets of San Diego completely backfired in the face of Padres fans. Mookie Betts, not Fernando Tatis Jr., is the most exciting player in baseball. Dave Roberts' bullpen management and a shell of Kenley Jansen strike again, but these moments may end up being good things in the long run. A preview of the Atlanta Braves (an upgraded version of the Padres), endless hatre...

Ryan and Beau explain why Padres fans should hate Padres fans right now. The guys preview the NLDS and look at what the Dodgers need  to do to avoid the upset. Wild Card Round Madness was fun, but also not. Kenley Jansen may be a problem, but it's time to stop saying that Max Muncy is as well. Plus, the Marlins doing well is actually bad for baseball. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaph...

Even though the Dodgers SHOULD win it all this year, Ryan and Beau are primed and ready for some all-too-familiar October anxiety and disappointment. The guys share their best and worst moments from watching the postseason. The Brewers are the first (and hopefully not last!) opponent in this stupid 16-team bracket. What to watch for in the series, what the roster will be like, and what to do with...

The Dodgers are tired, and we're tired of people freaking out about it. A.J. Pollock is following the Juan Uribe story arc. The Dodgers are determined to blow up the MLB playoff bubble (as they should). A full NFL season preview. Why the NFC West will be the best division in the NFL. Plus, Star Wars actors hate their own movies and it's everyone's fault but theirs. Learn more about your ad choices...

So long and best of luck, Ross Stripling (however, as a Dodgers podcast, we now have a little less competition so yay for us!). Congratulations to the 2020 Trade Deadline Champions, the San Diego Padres. Chadwick Boseman was so good that he shined in a movie as dumb as "Draft Day." Step into a time capsule with us after a viewing of the 1999 VMA's. Plus, #PrayForBeau as he decides to try skateboar...

Justin Lorber, better known by the Twitter handle @FutureDodgers, is one of the sharpest fan evaluators of prospects and draft classes around. You can find his complete rankings and articles at futuredodgers.wordpress.com. Justin gives insight on the hot starts to the likes of Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin, and what we can expect from this pitching staff for the future. Will Smith, Keibert Ruiz, Di...

Ryan and Beau attempt to kill every negative stereotype about Los Angeles sports fans. The guys pinpoint why everyone mocks Dodger fans for leaving games early when it also happens literally everywhere else. Major League Baseball still sucks at promoting their game. Of course Mookie Betts should always bat lead off. Plus, Don Mattingly gives a shining example as to why networks need to stop pumpin...

Ryan and Beau give a full season preview, with playoff and award predictions, and apparently we have to put 16 teams in the playoffs now. Mookie Betts is about to be a Dodger for life and everything about that is wonderful. Gavin Lux being optioned is defensible, shady, and all too beneficial. Plus, the guys have identified the single worst Star Wars opinions that ever existed. Learn more about yo...

We’re talkin bout practice. Losing David Price is bad, actually (but players should do whatever is in their best interest, I don’t blame them, I wouldn’t play). What does the rotation look like now? The Diamondbacks really want the Dodgers to care about them. Plus, tales of coronavirus testing, a literary analysis of The Fast and The Furious, Supermarket Sweep must be revived, #FreeWoj, and Yellow...

This is a baseball podcast again, everything is fine. Ryan and Beau look at the upcoming season and break down something new they love, something new they hate, and the inconvenient truth of the whole situation. What do the Dodgers look like with a DH? Bubba Wallace is not Jussie Smollett, you idiots, and Splash Mountain changing is a good thing, you idiots. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

This is a NASCAR podcast now. And video games and music and golf? At least they still exist. Baseball is gone forever. How many games make a season legit? It's not 48 but at least that's more than zero? A happy 50th anniversary to Dock Ellis and the trippiest game every played. The hype is real for The Last of Us 2, and it's more real for the HBO adaptation. Oh and we talk about the MLB draft for...

Ryan and Beau got sick of waiting for the baseball season to get figured out, so they take some time to yell at everyone. If you're not on the side of the players, then you're on the side of the billionaire owners (which makes you an idiot). Alex Bregman is whining about something completely different and he deserves to be made fun of for it. The Snyder cut has been released as annoying people to...

For at least this episode, Ryan and Beau are now the "swing boys." There's a new proposal to start the baseball season and it might actually happen. Bring on the universal DH. Should we care that Yasiel Puig is about to be a Giant? A 2020 World Series ring will be just as legit as any other one. Yes, we watch football too, and the Packers got really weird with the draft. Plus, Tom DeLonge is savin...
