About this episode

The episode discusses the Dodgers' pitching struggles in a game against the Phillies where five home runs were hit.

Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitching unravels as Philadelphia Phillies launch five home runs in a wild 10-7 slugfest—can the Dodgers recover their mound dominance? Pete Fox breaks down how Emmett Sheehan and the bullpen struggled to keep Phillies hitters—like Trea Turner and Bryce Harper—in the ballpark, and what these struggles mean with Shohei Ohtani sidelined from pitching due to a knee injury. Key discussion points include Trey Turner’s chaotic night of costly errors offset by his five-RBI, two-homer performance, Mookie Betts’ offensive power surge, and questions around Landon Knack’s readiness for the rotation. Plus, hear insights into Chris Sanchez’s ongoing mastery over the Dodgers’ bats and what to expect with Zack Wheeler starting Game 2. Will the Dodgers’ depth and resilience be enough to bounce back against the Phillies? Don’t forget to subscribe, drop a comment, and join the conversation!
