In today’s episode of Locke’d In Sports, we kick things off with a heated debate about the Oklahoma City Thunder and their standing on the list of all-time NBA teams (0:00).

Then we head into our Yankee recap (6:30), breaking down dominant starts from Ryan Yarbrough, Carlos Rodón, and Clarke Schmidt in Anaheim, debating who gets bumped from the rotation when Luis Gil returns. We also talk about Aaron Judge’s back-to-back intentional walks, what the Yankees’ reported interest in Orlando Arcia says about their trade deadline mindset, preview the Dodgers series, and wonder what the team is doing on their off day in Los Angeles.

Next, we go around the league (42:00): Are the Red Sox cooked after getting swept in Milwaukee, and what exactly is the front office doing? Miguel Vargas is heating up for the White Sox, who lost their series in Queens. Will the Dodgers trust Clayton Kershaw with a playoff start this fall? In Arizona, trouble’s brewing after dropping a series to Pittsburgh, and the entire NL West has looked painfully average in May. We also cover the Bryce Harper–Spencer Strider drama and speculate whether the trade deadline will disappoint again this year with so few true sellers.

In today’s episode of Locke’d In Sports, we kick things off by recapping William’s trip to an Independent League game this weekend (2:07)—a wild one that featured a benches-clearing brawl. Then, inspired by The Athletic’s feature, we build our own Quarter Century Team (8:38), picking the best players at each position since 2000. After that, we break down the Yankees-Rockies series (44:00), including Aaron Judge’s continued dominance and a frustrating Friday loss. We wrap things up with our MLB Weekend Review (1:03:39), spotlighting the biggest storylines and standout performances from around the league.

In this Memorial Day Weekend edition of Locke’d In Sports, we start the podcast by honoring all who have served. Then, Luis pulls a gem from the archives—William’s high school State Tournament stats (6:19).

Next up: award season. We share our top 5 picks for AL MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year (10:54), before breaking down the NL races (33:13).

We then dive into a Yankees-Rangers series loaded with elite pitching and a highlight moment from Jasson Dominguez (48:10), and close with our MLB Week in Review, spotlighting the biggest headlines and performances from across the league (1:09:33).
