Ben Maller says it's time for a reality check when it comes to Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

🎙️"Stop treating criticism of Shohei Ohtani like it's a violation of international law. It's not. He is not beyond criticism. This is not anti-Ohtani rhetoric. It's pro-accountability."

Maller argues the Dodgers didn't invest superstar money to get backup-infielder production in October, pointing to Ohtani's prolonged power outage and noting he has hit just one home run since August 18.

🗣️ According to Ben, if the Dodgers are going to make a postseason run, they may have to do it with an "inferior version" of Ohtani unless the superstar finds his swing again.

👇 Is Ben right? Should Ohtani face more criticism for his playoff performance?
