Dodgers Hand Phillies Series Loss As Kyle Tucker Slump Deepens & Shohei Ohtani Pitching Return Looms
Streams straight from the publisher. PodNod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
California Post's Dodgers beat writers Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez recap a statement series win over the Phillies, despite rotation exhaustion and bullpen game reliance.
The guys analyze Kyle Tucker's mental collapse under his $240M contract, Dalton Rushing's clutch breakout amidst Will Smith's murky 60-day IL stint, and Shohei Ohtani's surprise bullpen session.
They also debate whether Cody Bellinger would have been cheaper and better than Tucker.
Finally, a routine recap completely devolves into a hilarious roast of Philadelphia food and weather, an aggressive dispute over a 2006 Dodgers beer-glass injury trivia question, and a wild six-point scoreboard comeback.
