About this episode

The episode discusses the Dodgers' ongoing struggles at the plate during a loss to the Astros, highlighting key performances and concerns moving forward.

Los Angeles Dodgers’ bats stay silent as Shohei Ohtani’s strong outing isn’t enough in a frustrating 2-1 loss to the lowly Houston Astros. Can the Dodgers rebound, or is this offensive slump a sign of deeper troubles? Pete Fox recaps every key moment, from Ohtani surrendering his first two homers of the season to missed opportunities with runners in scoring position and Randy Ahas finding his rhythm again. Key topics include Freddie Freeman’s adjustments, Max Muncy’s ongoing struggles, and the bullpen’s inability to capitalize on shaky Astros pitching. Pete Fox questions the Dodgers’ approach at the plate, highlights standout and disappointing performances, and reveals on-field drama over mound adjustments requested by Ohtani. With Tyler Glasnow taking the hill in the series finale, the pressure’s on—will a wake-up call spark the offense or will frustration continue to mount in L.A.?
