Is Roki Sasaki back? Is fortune-telling real? And would Don Mattingly have been able to take Yasiel Puig?
On the latest episode of the Dodgers Post podcast, California Post baseball writers Dylan Hernandez and Jack Harris are diving into all that and more.
The two start by recapping the Dodgers’ weekend series win over the Philadelphia Phillies, and how the pitching staff has fueled the team’s recent hot streak. Dylan also recounts a Puig-related from when Mattingly, who is now the Phillies interim manager, was managing the Dodgers more than a decade ago.
They then focus on one pitcher, Sasaki, in particular, analyzing his recent uptick in form and 100 mph fastball velocity from this weekend’s most recent outing.
Later, the pair review the Dodgers’ overall performance in May, and name a player of the month, pitcher of the month and disappointment of the month — before then recounting their favorite personal recent interaction from covering the team (which, for Dylan, might include some … fortune-telling?)

Finally, they make predictions for the upcoming week and quiz each other on Dodgers trivia as always.
All that and more, on this latest episode of the Dodgers Post podcast.
