The Dodgers have a lot of issues and need to address some lack of production. Despite that, they are off to a terrific start. And they should thank the horrible Arizona Diamondbacks for that.
That is the topic for today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

But why do THAT when you can try to get big time TV contracts?
