  • Worth the Time

    Enjoy the show and commentary. However, compared to my other Locked On Show’s, I can count on no Friday or Saturday shows. So.. The show should be named “Locked On Weekdays”

  • Good Premise BUT…

    Love the locked on NFL pods and I’m a lifelong cards fan. Subed right away BUT this dudes delivery is like nails on a chalkboard!

    Can’t believe TEGNA is going to use a PA announcer for one of the most diehard fan bases in MLB.

    Best of luck!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dustin May LIMPS Off After Another SHAKY Start but the St. Louis Cardinal Bats Come To LIFE!
Q: Do you think Nolan Gorman or Josh Baez gets called up first if the outfield is replenished?
Most likely Nolan Gorman gets a call-up first due to current roster constraints at third base and the need for infield depth, though Baez remains a strong prospect with upside and a path to the majors depending on the organization's needs.
Dustin May LIMPS Off After Another SHAKY Start but the St. Louis Cardinal Bats Come To LIFE!
Q: What area should the Cardinals target at the deadline?
The preference is for a controllable starting pitcher, or alternatively a high-level corner infielder, with emphasis on players who can contribute immediately without sacrificing long-term prospect depth.
Dustin May LIMPS Off After Another SHAKY Start but the St. Louis Cardinal Bats Come To LIFE!
Q: Which players are you most concerned about among the top four hitters, and who do you think will rebound first?
The consensus is Jordan Walker is the most concerning but also has a big upside; Ivan Herrera is noted for potential wear and defensive durability, with Walker showing potential for a quick rebound given his track record and recent power surge.
