Hour 4 focuses on Dodgers-Padres Game 1 and why Friday night is about setting the tone at Petco Park.

The hour closed with Do You Care LA, featuri...

Brock and Alex opened with the Dodgers’ biggest lineup issue: nobody has locked down the No. 2 spot behind Shohei Ohtani.

The hour also hit the Lakers’ Giannis rumor cycle, with the real focus being whether LA can l...
