What they're saying

"
The Dodgers recently lost their third consecutive series, but a more concerning statistic involves their two-way star, Shohei Ohtani, who went 1-for-11 against the Diamondbacks in Arizona over the weekend. While Los Angeles can accept that Ohtani is not performing at his Angels levels on the mound, they cannot remain competitive without his offensive contributions.
