The Dodgers kept Shohei Ohtani in the lineup. Was it the right call—and what can change their fortunes against Milwaukee?
Cody and Drea react to NLCS Game 3, from Blake Snell’s first-pitch homer allowed to the Dodgers’ missed opportunities in the third and sixth. They debate the lineup order, Max Muncy pinch-hitting for Andy Pages and the balance between trusting Ohtani and doing what gives the team its best chance to win.
Plus: Pat Murphy’s confidence, the Brewers’ execution and whether Tyler Glasnow can give Los Angeles the start it needs in Game 4.
They also discuss the reported Game 1 audience, Dodgers Gold Glove finalists, the Tarik Skubal contract report and happy news for Will and Cara Smith.
