NLCS preview podcast: Dodgers vs. Brewers

A look back at the Dodgers finishing off the NLDS in Atlanta, plus a look ahead at the NLCS. Among the topics we discuss on this episode:

• In-season trade pickups Manny Machado and David Freese making their marks
• A look at potential roster changes. Ross Stripling seems to be the most likely change, if any, and he talked with Bill Plunkett about correcting a flaw in his delivery.
• The Dodgers rotation, including Clayton Kershaw starting in Game 1 on Friday
• Joc Pederson‘s unique hitting streak
• Yasmani Grandal‘s postseason numbers in a historical context (hat tip to Jon Weisman)
• A look at the heavily-used Brewers bullpen
• We recorded this before Milwaukee announced its rotation for the first few games: Gio Gonzalez in Game 1, Wade Miley in Game 2, and Jhoulys Chacin in Game 3
