The Los Angeles Dodgers sat on top of the NL West with a nine game cushion, on July 3rd, and looked ready to run away with the division. Not even a month and a half later they've fallen out of first place after going 12-21 in that timespan. In the same timespan, the San Diego Padres have gone 23-12 and taken sole possession of first place in the NL West. All of this leads up to back-to-back weekend series between the two teams. First up, it's the Dodgers turn to play host. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Dodgers' slide and everything that led up to it. They also discuss where the Padres are right now and how they see the rest of the season playing out for both teams.
Later in the show, a star from the Dodgers joins Jake and Jordan as they chat with Mookie Betts! They chat about Mookie's career in podcasting, what it has been like being a part of the Dodgers, the struggles of both the team and himself this season and how impressive it is to watch Shohei Ohtani pitch and hit.
The guys wrap up the show with some distraught, but funny, mentions that plagued the Minnesota Twins' socials coming on the heels of the announcement that the team was not being sold. To finish, Jake and Jordan share this week's edition of The Good, The Bad and The Uggla. The Milwaukee Brewers come through for free burgers, a Bob has returned to Major League Baseball, betting on children's baseball is discouraged and more!
All of this and more to close out your week on Baseball Bar-B-Cast.
