Will Smith and Dodgers Face Criticism After Costly NLCS Game 2

Catcher Will Smith is struggling significantly at the plate, going 1-for-23 this postseason and 0-for-7 against the Milwaukee Brewers. During Game 2, Smith kept both ABS challenges in his pocket, missing opportunities to overturn crucial calls during a 7-4 loss that put Los Angeles down 2-0. Smith admitted he wanted to save challenges for later innings and assumed ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto had control, but the failure to challenge added immense pressure to a struggling Dodgers squad.
