DODGERS POSTCAST: Emmit Sheehan mowing down Cubs but the bull pen wet the bed and blows a 4 run lead

Los Angeles Dodgers collapse as bullpen woes erase Emmet Sheehan’s dominant outing in a stunning 6-4 loss to the red-hot Chicago Cubs. Are cracks beginning to show for Dave Roberts’ squad? Pete Fox breaks down how a costly defensive miscue by Andy Pages and disastrous outings from Alex Vesia and Blake Treinen turned a four-run lead into heartbreak, even as the offense faded after Will Smith’s early home run. Has the Dodgers’ reliance on the long ball finally caught up with them?

 

Key topics include Shohei Ohtani’s continued slump, questions around the bullpen’s sudden decline, and the lack of “killer instinct” from LA’s stars like Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernández. With the Cubs riding a ten-game win streak and the San Diego Padres closing the gap in the standings, the Dodgers face urgent challenges on both sides of the ball. Will Mookie Betts’ return reignite Los Angeles, or is more frustration on the horizon?
