Going back to April 21, the Dodgers are 25th in batting, hitting 11% below league average, raising concerns that this sort of slump could also happen in the post-season. 

In their Dodgers podcast, Dylan and Jack call out the struggles of Shohei Ohtani, who has 4 hits in his last 38 at-bats. The guys watched the superstar hit a ball out of the stadium in batting practice, then go 0-5 against San Francisco.

The guys, of course, talk Roki Sasaki again, but are not quite ready to nickname him the Roki-coaster. 

Jack and Dylan then check receipts on their predictions from the week prior, and they are struggling just as much as the Dodgers.

Dylan nails his Does Dylan Know The Dodgers question, but Jack is not as lucky with Dylan’s greatest reporting hits.

The big news coming out of the third game was Tyler Glasnow leaving early with back pain, and the guys discuss what that could mean going forward.

On their Dodgers podcast, Jack and Dylan then check the receipts on the predictions they made before the season, starting with Shohei Ohtani’s season stats.  “He can still get there,” Dylan says about his prediction that the superstar reaches 52 home runs.

Finally, the guys shout out their listeners for the great guesses from Dylan’s wild reporter story from the previous episode!

The Dodgers’ 8 runs is their best offensive performance in a few weeks, however one player is still slumping at the plate.

Despite taking 55 swings at batting practice before the game, Shohei Ohtani went hit-less and the superstar is now 0-17 with no hits in the previous five games, his worst stretch in his time with the Dodgers.

The National League Pitcher of the Month for April will take the mound in Game 2 against the Astros, but will not be hitting, going back on earlier plans.

This has the hosts of our Dodgers podcast begging the question: Would the team be better off with Shohei only pitching? 

The guys also discuss whether Roki Sasaki should be sent to the minor leagues, and why Justin Wrobleski is pitching too well to return to the bullpen.

Jack puts on his reporter’s hat to reveal the origin of Dalton Rushing’s dropkick celebration, before the return of favorite segments: Does Dylan Know the Dodgers, and Why We Hate Your City.

Orel Hershiser gets a reference, and Bill Kaplan earns an RIP shoutout.

Is it time to panic? The Dodgers are still second in baseball in batting average and home runs, but their slumps are starting to feel reminiscent of a season ago, but with their stars more healthy.

In this Dodgers podcast, the guys give out their monthly awards for April, including a nod to Shohei Ohtani.

Jack and Dylan also talk Dalton Rushing and Kyle Tucker, share an incredible story about Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and give a bold predictions for one of the podcast’s favorite subjects, Roki Sasaki.

California Post’s Dodgers reporters Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez talk about that means for the season, and the opportunities for Alex Vessia and Blake Treinen.

The team’s first significant injury of 2026 is likely to lead to bullpen problems reminiscent of the worst parts of the 2025 season.

Jack and Dylan are always coming with a new Roki Sasaki take, and also talk about whether Shohei Ohtani should be batting in the same games he pitches.

The boys introduce a friendly new segment called “Why we hate your city” and return to some Dodgers trivia, and only one of them answers correctly! 

And finally, Jack and Dylan give their predictions on the Giants series.

As California Post Dodgers reporters Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez tell it, this game was all about Justin Wrobleski, who nearly pitched a complete game, bit finished with a career-high eight scoreless innings.

It was the best pitching performance for the Boys in Blue so far in 2026, and gives fans just another reason to feel hopeful on Dylan’s prediction of 120 wins.

The Dodgers/Mets is baseball’s first billion dollar series, but shows a tale of two franchises.

Still, the guys have a few concerns: Roki, of course; Kyle Tucker’s slump and Edwin Diaz’s struggles on the mound.

And introducing a new Dodgers Post game: Does Dylan Know The Dodgers?

The team is 8-2 and on pace for 130 wins, although Dylan is not quite adjusting his prediction of 120 yet.

Outside of Mookie’s injury, there’s a lot to be excited about, including

Andy Pages playing his best baseball.

The guys once again talk Roki Sasaki, and Dylan recalls his days in Japanese baseball with an elite fastball.

Then finally, the boys reminisce about being back where they won the World Series last fall … although this series is not looking to be nearly as exciting.

The game saw Roki Sasaki make his first start of the season, and Jack and Dylan have mixed feelings on how it went.

The Dodgers went to the bullpen in the fourth inning, and the boys, of course, have all sorts of thoughts on the relief roster.

Jack and Dylan also talk about the Diamondbacks series and how the Dodgers started 3-0 despite not even playing their best baseball.

And the episode would not be complete without a deep dive into Edwin Diaz’s live trumpet entrance and how it must continue!

The guys jump right into it with Shohei Ohtani on the mound in the third inning. “I didn’t feel great,” he recalls as Shohei gave up a three-run homer. “If I could have it over, I would do the same thing, probably call a different pitch.”

When it came to the ninth inning, Roberts praises Miguel Rojas. “Something in your gut, I felt like he was going to give us a good at-bat,” Roberts recalled. “For me it’s betting on people who would die on the field to help his team win. It just could not happen to a better guy.”

At one point in the bottom of the ninth, the Dodgers had just a 9% win percentage, and Roberts admits to having a few negative thoughts. “I told myself to get out of that,” he remembers.

Roberts even gets nervous watching the tape. “I know I lived it, but it coulda been a dream,” he says. “What are the odds of getting out of that inning without giving any runs? … But I can look out on that diamond and say there are 9 players who are dependable.”

Spring training is over and the Boys in Blue not only escaped without any injuries or controversies, but saw some of their elder statesman return in great shape.

Now it’s time to start a season where anything short of winning the World Series for a third consecutive year will be a disappointment. 

Jack and Dylan get into keeping Alex Freeland and sending Hyeseong Kim to the minors, and then dig into both the rotation and the bullpen, including superstar Shohei Ohtani. 

Fellow California Post Dodgers reporter Jack Harris believes the news reenforces that Yamamoto is the ace of the team’s pitching staff, even if his team is still expecting more, including a potential Cy Young.

Both gents single out four standouts as spring training nears an end, including Josue De Paula and his beautiful swing and fun personality.

Jack talks Tyler Glasnow and his growing trust with the pitching coaches, while on the flip-side, Dylan has concerns around Hyeseong Kim after his struggles in the World Baseball Classic.

And then, for final thoughts, introducing … Uniqlo Field!

While Dodgers spring training continues without much major news, the boys focus on the World Baseball Classic, in what is seemingly the event’s breakout year.

Dylan has been tracking Team Japan, but is not too excited about what he’s seeing, with the exception of someone named Shohei Ohtani, whom he described as “three batters in one.”

And then, some closing thoughts heading into the final weeks of spring training.

Jack and Dylan then get into the World Baseball Classic, and what to watch for with Roki Sasaki, and even Clayton Kershaw and the likelihood of a surprise comeback.

Finally, the guys get real on Mookie Betts, whom Dylan recently spoke to, and how he feels heading into the 2026 season verses a year ago. 

The guys talk about all the greats, including Clayton Kershaw, Justin Turner, Mookie Betts and more.

Of course, the story culminates with the Dodgers’ addition of Shohei Ohtani.

In the end, the question becomes: “How long can they keep it going?” And Jack and Dylan lay out just how hard it is to win it all in baseball.
