May Team of the Month, Dodgers Win Yankees Series, MLB Weekend Recaps | Ep. 299

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.
