Dodgers collapse in a brutal late-night backslide as Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s eight-and-two-thirds no-hitter ends with a walk-off homer and a team-wide sense of rock-bottom. The crew debates the bullpen calls, the removal at 112 pitches, and whether a spark could come from Max Muncy’s leadership or Tommy Edmond’s return next week. Offense showed flashes, but the chain of misplays and missed opportunities left fantasy rosters wary of the Dodgers’ rest-of-season upside.

Conforto’s role, Betts and Freeman’s steady power, and the bullpen questions—especially Treinen and Yates’s viability—shape immediate decisions. The show tees up potential carryovers for October and how to manage the Dodgers’ stars as the schedule tightens.
