We kick things off with a quick recap of Luis’s birthday celebration and William’s weekend playing men’s league softball before diving into the College World Series (5:55) and a loaded week in baseball.

Yankees Segment (10:52) – The Yankees grabbed a massive win on Sunday thanks to a monster performance from Jazz Chisholm. Saturday’s victory was fueled by another strong outing from Clarke Schmidt, continuing a dominant stretch from the rotation. Friday’s opener was a gut punch - Luke Weaver gave up the game late in his first appearance back from the IL. We break down the series, the continued inconsistency with the lineup construction, and why this Reds series could be a critical turning point heading into July.

Around the League (39:11) – Cal Raleigh sets a historic mark for HRs by a catcher before the break—can he actually make a run at AL MVP? Could PCA challenge Ohtani for the NL crown? We explore the possibility of the entire Cubs outfield making the All-Star team after a wild, high-scoring weekend at Wrigley. Plus: the red-hot Rays take 2 of 3 from the AL-leading Tigers, Jacob Misiorowski 's ridiculous start to life at the MLB level, the Astros are the most underrated team in baseball, Devers shines against Boston, Ohtani’s second start on the mound, and much more.

We kick things off with a Yankees-Angels recap (2:48) — the bats disappeared, Anthony Volpe’s costly error added fuel to the fire, and we ask some tough questions about his future in the Bronx. We do credit the Yankees’ pitching, but Boone’s lineup decisions (now with Giancarlo back) and in-game calls leave much to be desired.

Then we dive into the Rafael Devers trade fallout (29:51). Red Sox players didn’t seem too heartbroken over his exit, and the front office looks like a total mess. We compare Devers to Soto and ask if Boston can sustain their recent hot streak without him.

In the Men’s College World Series (41:20), Arkansas suffered another gut-wrenching loss — are they cursed? And it’s Coastal Carolina vs. LSU in the Finals.

We wrap with a wild MLB Week in Review (44:56): Rob Thomson benches Nick Castellanos — would we have done the same? The Rockies win 3 of 4, the Rays stay red-hot with a wild Wednesday comeback, Astros explode in Sacramento, the Dodgers keep owning the Padres, Ohtani returns to the mound, the Reds are surging, the Mets are spiraling, and plenty more from around the league.

We kick things off with a quick recap of William’s Little League coaching weekend before diving into the bombshell Rafael Devers trade (2:50), which sent the Red Sox slugger to the Giants in exchange for a couple of pitchers and a prospect. Is Boston cutting costs again? Was the Devers–front office relationship beyond repair? Is Devers a perfect fit for SF? Will he be willing to play 1B now? We break down all sides of the shocking move.

Then, we recap the Yankees–Red Sox series (25:16), where the Yankees were swept and managed just 4 runs across the weekend. From ugly baserunning to strikeout woes and wasted pitching performances, we dig into what went wrong and how New York can bounce back.

We wrap with our MLB weekend recap (43:48), including William’s Sunday trip to Wrigley, the red-hot Reds, a bunch of sweeps across the league, and whether the Astros are quietly becoming one of the best teams in baseball.

In today’s episode, we kick things off with a recap of William’s week coaching Little League and dive into the current state of youth baseball in America (0:00).

Then we break down the Yankees' sweep of the Royals, including Devin Williams’ resurgence, the most important Yankee not named Aaron Judge, and a few trade targets New York should consider (7:18).

We wrap things up by taking a spin around the league—Roman Anthony gets the call, we argue over whether the Mets are the best team in baseball, the Blue Jays are on fire, the Angels are surprisingly solid, Max Muncy reignites the Dodgers-Padres rivalry (yes, it is a rivalry), the Mariners keep sliding, and much more (34:32).

In today's episode, we kick things off with a weekend recap, including William’s time coaching Little League and the brutal sunburn that came with it (0:00).

Then it’s on to Yankees–Red Sox (4:30), where Hunter Dobbins backed up his controversial pregame comments, the Yankees’ starting pitching and bullpen faltered big-time, and we question some of Aaron Boone’s decisions. We also talk Jazz Chisholm’s miked-up moment and the state of the Yankees' lineup heading into a critical stretch.

Next, we dive into the Men’s College Baseball Tournament (30:46), breaking down the Super Regionals, the teams advancing to Omaha, and—most importantly—who might win this year's Jell-O shot challenge.

We wrap with our weekly whiparound of the rest of MLB (42:12): Will the Tigers extend Tarik Skubal? Are the Mariners in their annual midseason slump? Could the Rays and Jays be sneaky playoff threats? We also talk the Pirates sweeping Philly (cause for concern?), the Diamondbacks' rough series in Cincy and why they might be sellers, the Cardinals handing more problems to the injury-riddled Dodgers, and the Orioles’ hype train slowing down. All that and much more!

We open the show in South Florida, where it's been a brutal week for sports fans (0:00). The Rockies swept the Marlins, and the Panthers followed it up by losing Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Luis is struggling out here.

From there, we shine a light on some players who are flying under the radar this season (4:42). These guys aren’t getting much national attention, but they’ve been quietly raking or shoving on the mound, and they deserve some love.

Then we dive into the Yankees’ series vs. Cleveland so far (41:21). We talk about the first two games and dig into Clarke Schmidt’s future. Should the Yankees look to move him at the deadline?

We wrap by recapping the rest of the action around the league (50:50) — the Mets/Dodgers series, the disappointing Red Sox, Milwaukee’s hot stretch, how tough the closer role is, Paul Skenes still not getting any run support, whether the Braves are cooked, the A’s continuing to spiral, Pablo López’s injury, and Jac Caglianone’s MLB debut.

In today’s episode of Locke’d In Sports, we open with a deep dive into the Yankees-Dodgers series (2:21), starting with how the Yankees bounced back from an embarrassing 18–2 loss on Saturday to win a crucial Sunday Night Baseball game. We discuss why that win mattered, Gerrit Cole’s questionable advice to Will Warren, Ryan Yarbrough’s continued brilliance (and whether he’s earned a playoff start), and how the team may have let Friday’s game slip away thanks to Aaron Boone’s bullpen decisions. Plus, we unpack Aaron Judge’s “measuring stick” comments - what did this series say about the Yankees?

Then it’s time for our May Team of the Month (28:00), where we highlight the month’s top performers.

We then dive into the rest of the MLB slate from the weekend (49:06), and we discuss the potentially devastating injury to Corbin Burnes and whether it could be another data point leading teams to change how they approach big-money pitcher free agent deals. We also cover a wild Mariners-Twins series that saw Cal Raleigh take over the MLB home run lead, the Brewers sweeping the Phillies, and plenty more.

Finally, we wrap with some NCAA College Tournament thoughts (1:12:37), celebrating the chaos that is college baseball and the Cinderella run from Arkansas–Little Rock. Plus some thoughts on the Women's College World Series, where Oklahoma's five-peat is in jeopardy.
