Fast Forwarding Through the Lockout: NL West Edition
3597
DVR is joined by Keith Law to fast forward through the lockout and attempt to finish the offseason adjustments for each team in the NL West.
Despite a few significant losses in free agency, the Dodgers still project as the best team in baseball? If they make an addition or two, where are they most likely to seek upgrades?
As the Giants bring the band back together for 2022, will they find an impact bat or two to bolster their lineup?
The Padres have young talent on the way, but could their biggest offseason additions actually come from changes to the coaching staff?
It's going to be a long road back to the postseason in Colorado, but how should the Rockies proceed once player movement resume?
And could the D-backs have a surprising bounce back from a disappointing 2021 on the strength of a significant wave of young talent?

4166
DVR is joined by Eno Sarris to fast forward through the lockout and attempt to finish the offseason adjustments for each team in the AL West.
Following big spending early with the addition of Corey Seager, Marcus Semien and Jon Gray, will the Rangers add more veteran pitching to the mix?
If the Astros don’t bring back Carlos Correa, is Trevor Story their preferred fallback option, or could they opt to give Jeremy Peña an opportunity to take over the starting job.
How bright is the immediate future in Seattle, and is Kris Bryant a perfect fit for a Mariners seeking another impact bat?
With health, can the Angels quickly revert to contender status in the division?
And how will the A’s proceed with a poorly-ranked minor-league system and a core with several intriguing players to deal away including Matt Olson, Matt Chapman, Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea?

2605
The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence and Grant Brisbee are here to break down the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series for the first time since 1995.

Baseball Barista | 3-Time WS Champion Jeremy Affeldt talks playoff intensity, Giants-Dodgers Game 5 & who will win the ALCS
3428
The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence and Grant Brisbee have a fresh cup of playoff baseball takes ready for you. They are joined by 3-time World Series Champion reliever Jeremy Affeldt. They give their thoughts on Giants-Dodgers Game 5 for all the marbles and how the bullpens will be a big key. Oracle Park will be jumping just like it was when the Giants won their World Series titles in 2010,2012 and 2014. Jeremy talks about how different playoff intensity is then in a regular season game and how you have to always be ready in a playoff game cause anything can happen. Jeremy talks about how baseball brawls are really just dumb and not really a fight at all. He tells a great story about a brawl with the Phillies and an altercation he had with Chase Utley. Grant and Jeremy talk about about freak injuries that happened involving baseball and how Jeremy just seemed to have them happen to him. And the guys discuss the ALCS and who they will think will represent the AL in the World Series- Boston Red Sox or the Houston Astros.
