We have our first hometown episode! After an amazing 3 days at Fanatics fest, the Talk Dodgers to Me team made our way to New Jersey to stay at Melissa's mom's house. Before we do an episode with her family, we sat down to talk all things Fanatics Fest and the last week of Dodger baseball.

We were definitely outnumbered by NY fans at Fanatics Fest but we had so much fun chatting with a Nestor Cortes lookalike, 10 year old "Twinstripe Reporters" and lots of Dodger haters - but always bonded over our mutual love of baseball.

Even though we are experiencing how hard it is to follow west coast baseball while on the east coast, we couldn't not talk about the benches clearing incident with the Padres, Shohei's second pitching outing, Muncy's 200th Dodger grand slam and our boys winning 3 series at home.

We walked into Melissa's mom's house greeted with all of the candies we mentioned in the last episode and even hear her chime in through this episode - yes, her favorite player is Max Muncy. Hope you enjoy our episode live from NJ!
