MLB Midweek Series Recaps: Yankees Sweep, Red Sox Swept, D-Backs in Trouble | Ep. 298

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.
