The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading into an uncomfortable offseason after getting swept out of the National League Championship Series by the Milwaukee Brewers. An ass-kicking, one reporter called it, and the questions are piling up fast about how this roster gets rebuilt and what went wrong down the stretch.
Central to that conversation is Shohei Ohtani, who confirmed he intends to pitch again in two thousand twenty seven. He started the season in the rotation, battled injuries that drained his power at the plate, and barely made it to the final game healthy. The Dodgers now face the delicate puzzle of managing the most valuable player on the planet without breaking him.
Meanwhile, in college football, Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon has been cleared from the SEC injury report ahead of Saturday's showdown with Alabama. Brandon was listed as questionable Thursday, and sources pointed to George MacIntyre as the likely starter. Now with Brandon available, Volunteer fans are wondering who lines up under center when number fourteen Tennessee meets number seven Alabama at three thirty Eastern on Saturday.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
