Hour 1 - Dodgers Defense Covers the Cracks + Do You Care, LA?

Hour 1 - Dodgers-Padres Rivalry, Cameron Carr’s Lakers Story, And Do You Care LA

Brock and Alex open the show with Dodgers-Padres at Petco Park and how different the rivalry feels now that the Dodgers have created real separation in the NL West. They preview the weekend pitching matchups, including Roki Sasaki, Walker Buehler, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Michael King. Then they shift to the Lakers’ first-round pick Cameron Carr, his connection to Kobe Bryant through his dad Chris Carr, and whether his athleticism, shooting and length can become a real Lakers fit. Hour 1 closes with Do You Care LA on MLB players wanting prop bets banned, the Mets firing Carlos Mendoza, and George Kittle calling out NFL teams over World Cup grass.

Hour 2 - Dodgers Payroll Debate, Tony Gwynn Jr., And The Clippers’ College Draft-And-Stash

Hour 2 starts with the Dodgers being used as the face of MLB’s salary cap conversation and why players like Miguel Rojas are tired of the team being blamed for baseball’s spending problem. Brock and Alex discuss whether the Dodgers are bad for baseball or just the model every team should try to copy. Then Tony Gwynn Jr. joins the show to preview Dodgers-Padres from the San Diego side and break down the rivalry, the nine-game gap, Roki Sasaki and the Padres’ pressure this weekend. The hour ends with the Clippers’ unusual second-round pick Narcisse Ngoy, who was drafted No. 57 but still plans to play college basketball at Auburn.

Hour 3 - The Lakers’ Week In Review And Alden González On The Dodgers

Hour 3 resets the Lakers’ entire week, from Austin Reaves getting paid, to Cameron Carr being drafted, to LeBron James’ contract decision, to the center search still being unanswered. Brock and Alex look at whether this is officially Luka Dončić’s team, how much pressure is on Rob Pelinka, and what still has to happen for the offseason to feel complete. Then ESPN’s Alden González joins to talk Dodgers, including their best record in baseball, the Padres series, Roki Sasaki’s bounce-back spot, Dalton Rushing’s rough week catching Shohei Ohtani, and what the Dodgers may need before the trade deadline. The hour closes with Spill The Tea and Brock’s CFL note on Brendan Sorsby.

Hour 4 - Dodgers-Padres Game 1, USMNT is FINE, And Cross Talk

Hour 4 focuses on Dodgers-Padres Game 1 and why Friday night is about setting the tone at Petco Park. Brock and Alex preview Roki Sasaki’s start, the nine-game gap in the NL West, and how a Dodgers win could make the division feel even more one-sided. Then they reset the USMNT’s 3-2 loss to Turkey at SoFi Stadium, Christian Pulisic’s return, the missed chance to go 3-0 in group play, and the upcoming Round of 32 matchup against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The show wraps with Cross Talk, touching on the USA loss, Walker Buehler’s return, the Clippers drafting a college player, MLBPA vs. MLB, and Shay’s Word of the Day.

Hour 1 - Dodgers Sweep, Mookie’s Milestone, And Lakers Still Need A Big

Brock and Alex open the show with the Dodgers completing the sweep of the Twins and reaching the halfway point of the season with the best record in baseball. Mookie Betts led the way with his 300th career home run and a big all-around game, but Shohei Ohtani still stole part of the spotlight with his communication issues with Dalton Rushing. The hour also gets into the Lakers adding AK Okereke on a two-way deal while still failing to address their biggest need at center after passing on a second-round pick.
