Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

Walker Buehler looked like his normal, dominant self on Tuesday as he shut out the Padres over seven innings. It's a good sign for the Dodgers ace as October is coming up. Vince also looked at some decision-making from Dave Roberts in the second half and did a quick look at the Cardinals, who the Dodgers would play if they are in the wild card game.

The Dodgers won two out of three from the Diamondbacks this weekend, but the Giants swept the Rockies, which makes the Dodgers' uphill battle to win their ninth straight NL West division title a little more uphill. Jeff is here to talk about the weekend series with the DBacks, the passion of Dodger fans, and an update on some other goings on in the NL West.

It was quite the Thursday for the Dodgers as they came back in the 9th to defeat the Rockies and then saw the Giants blow a late lead to Padres in order to get to one game behind for the NL West lead. Max Scherzer struggled but Colorado is just annoying. It was a perfect day to showcase September baseball, and it ended up being more fun as the Dodgers held their annual dress up day. Vince finishes the episode talking about Matt Beaty's role and Kenley Jansen's "normal" performance.

Walker Buehler struggled again and the Dodgers offense and bullpen weren't able to rescue him in Colorado. Should there be concern about Buehler's month of September? Also, the offense has looked better and the postseason bullpen arms have seemingly been locked in. Jeff and Vince finish by talking about Charlie Blackmon and if the Dodgers should concede the division at any point.

The Dodgers beat the Rockies in extra innings on Tuesday behind a strong performance from the bullpen. Alex Vesia notched his first career save and continues to show how value to the team here in the second half. Cody Bellinger is on the injured list, AJ Pollock is nearing a return, and are the Giants really that lucky?

After losing a game in the standings to start the weekend on Friday, it's a small victory for the Dodgers to walk out of the weekend no further behind the Giants than they were going in. Jeff is here to talk about the Dodgers' series win over the Reds, Clayton Kershaw's outstanding start on Sunday, and Mookie Betts showing yet again why he is universally beloved. Then he talks a bit about the Padres' dugout kerfuffle between Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr., how it relates to the Dodgers, and what it might mean for the Padres this offseason.

The Dodgers head into the weekend just a game behind the Giants in the National League West, and they'll head to Cincinnati looking to gain ground against the Reds. Jeff is joined by Jeff from Locked On Reds to talk about the keys matchups, interesting storylines, and predictions for the series. The Jeffs agree that the Reds lineup against Max Scherzer, Walker Buehler, and Clayton Kershaw should give a solid advantage to the Dodgers.

The Dodgers swept the DBacks and gained a game on the Giants, thanks to the Padres. Gavin Lux has looked like a different player since being called back up from OKC and that's great for the Dodgers. Also, Kenley Jansen seems to have found his groove, and should MLB retire the No. 21 for Roberto Clemente?

Tony Gonsolin's second start back from injury was better than we could have hoped for, with five shutout innings and great command of three pitches. With the Dodgers' win over the DBacks, Los Angeles clinches their ninth straight MLB Postseason berth. The job's not done, as Kobe Bryant famously said, but step one is in the books and we know the Dodgers will be playing after 20 teams have gone home. Jeff talks about the importance of celebrating this accomplishment, along with the idea of being "Built for October." He also talks a little bit about small ball.

Clayton Kershaw returned from the injured list and pitch 4.1 solid innings, allowing just a first-inning run and throwing 50 pitches. The Dodgers offense showed signs of life, too, scoring five runs on 11 hits despite some pretty bad luck on balls in play. Jeff is here to talk about the pitching, the offense, and some comparisons between Corey Seager and Trea Turner, before getting personal and paying tribute to his dear friend Gary Keetch, who passed away last week.

The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the San Diego Padres again, and this series was highlighted by three starting pitchers who are going to get Cy Young Award votes this year. It was capped by the best performance of the three on Sunday, as Max Scherzer threw an immaculate inning, then notched his 3,000th career strikeout, and then carried a perfect game into the eighth inning. Jeff is here to talk about Scherzer's great day, a hack reporter's desperate plea for attention, and some listener questions about hit batters and possible postseason scenarios.

The Dodgers lost again and it was a bad offensive day. Is Dave Roberts more worried about rest than winning the division? On a positive note, Tony Gonsolin looked good in his three innings of work.

Tony Gonsolin and Clayton Kershaw will both start in the next few days; however, the Dodgers were dominated by Adam Wainwright en route to a 5-4 loss.
