Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani spin is getting harder to swallow as disastrous ending to NLCS looms

Expanded Context

Brimstone Report is tracking this as a curated culture & society brief. The source report from NY Post says: Shohei Ohtani wants to play on Wednesday, so Shohei Ohtani will play. Like he has the entire season. Anyone who was gullible enough to think Dodgers would actually bench Ohtani against the Milwaukee Brewers in the Game 3 of the National League Championship Series wasn’t paying at.
