Summary
This week’s episode feels like the perfect snapshot of Dodgers baseball right now: confusing, emotional, frustrating… and somehow still fun.We’re talking all things Shohei Ohtani after one of the most talked-about weeks of his career. In the same week he’s being discussed as the National League Pitcher of the Month, he’s also in the biggest offensive slump of his career. Only Shohei could completely dominate and struggle at the same time.We also recap the Dodgers dropping a game to the Astros — sorry, the Trashros — because yes, we’re clearly still not over 2017 and honestly probably never will be. Melissa shares her decision on when she will stop calling them the trashtros, let us know if you agree.But as always, this episode turns into way more than baseball. From Will Smith’s comedy night, to laughing through the chaos of the season, to sharing personal stories and life updates. If you’ve ever used baseball as an escape, therapy session, or reason to laugh through hard weeks… this episode is for you.
