EP 73: Heckling Backfires: Shohei Sparks LA Back to #1
Description
Boy are we happy to be back in the number one spot! Our pitchers are coming back, our players are returning healthy and we are starting to see the team we knew we could be coming into this season! After an unfortunate series loss to the Padres, a heckler ignited Shohei and the Dodgers dugout to a game 3 win and a continued winning streak to become the first team this season to sweep the Reds, and an official season sweep of the Padres. And yes, we are okay saying it's a rivalry. It's a rivalry full of attitude and egos from a team who hasn't won before against the reigning World Series Champs - and yes, we get into all of it, including our thoughts on the Instagram live we did with two girls with a Padres podcast.Once we cooled down from talking about the Padres, we highlight Kershaw's amazing month of August, Sheehan's best outing yet, Mookie's defense and offense clicking, all while trying to understand how slumps happen. Will we ever truly know what goes into a slump? We try and make sense of the ups and downs that is baseball all while hoping our team maintains the number one spot!Melissa asks the team if they would be first pitch swingers and the girls give their players of the week. Who is yours? Let us know in the comments! Go Dodgers!
