Episode Description from the Publisher

The California Post's Dodgers beat writers Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez recap a 6-3 East Coast road trip against the Yankees, Phillies and Mets through pure press box fatigue and spilled coffee at Citi Field. The guys break down the escalating concern surrounding Shohei Ohtani’s scratched Saturday bullpen session and 7-for-38 road slump, Will Smith’s alarming neck disc issue and the need for trade deadline insurance, and Roki Sasaki’s dominant metric surge in New York. Plus, an intense debate on whether Andrew Friedman should gut the farm system for Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, a deep dive into the Dodgers' six Top-100 outfield prospects, Yasiel Puig’s career spiral and ADHD revelation, and the launch of the official DGP Fan Hotline.
