    Karl Ravech’s Dirt From the Dugout: Brewers vs. Dodgers NLCS Preview + MLB’s New Labor Proposal

    On this episode of Dirt From the Dugout, Karl Ravech and Justin Musil break down a loaded LCS slate, with the Brewers and Dodgers set for the NLCS and the Rays awaiting their ALCS opponent after sweeping the Yankees. Musil draws on his time advising the Brewers’ scouting department to explain the identity behind Milwaukee’s historic run. Ravech argues that the Dodgers’ financial edge shows most in a seven-game series, where their rotation and bullpen depth is nearly impossible to match. The two also debate whether a true horse like Jacob Misiorowski or Junior Caminero can swing a series against the Dodgers. Plus, a White Sox-Guardians Game 5 preview, MLB’s latest labor proposal (including a 154-game season and letting higher seeds pick their playoff opponents), and why neither host blames Aaron Boone or Brian Cashman for the Yankees’ exit.
