Fernando Tatis Jr. came up HUGE in yesterday’s game 🇩🇴 Repost and reply for your chance to win a Tatis Jr. Team Dominican Republic jersey!

I don’t get the Fangraphs projection, they should get more Innings from King, I consider Musgrove an upgrade to Cease. And they should get in general more production from LF, Catcher & 1B than what they got last year.

Some backstory: Albert Pujols' daughter, Esther, is celebrating her birthday in San Diego to see one of her favorite players Manny Machado. Machado gifted her with a signed jersey and batting gloves. Awesome stuff from Manny!

Wandy/Morgan opener Vásquez 4 devil magic innings Rest of bullpen

Dylan Cease is a horrible pitcher

Smart by Ron Washington walk Cronenworth and get to one of the worst hitting outfielders in Baseball.

This Soriano guy OWNS the Pads man...

Jackson Merrill and Brandon Lockridge are “towards the finish line” of their rehab, Mike Shildt says. Jake Cronenworth heads to the team’s spring complex today for live at-bats.

Jackson Merrill drops one to the pull side in right field. Easy swing and moving on the bases. Good progression on the rehab #ProspectOne

“We’re optimistic for Friday,” Mike Shildt says when asked about the status of Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jake Cronenworth.

The Padres recalled Oscar Gonzalez and just placed Jackson Merrill on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain. Team seems optimistic Merrill won’t be out long. But he’ll miss the upcoming homestand, eligible to return in Houston the following weekend.

Best/worst run differentials 1. Padres 25 2. Dodgers 22 3. Yankees 19 4. Cardinals 17 25. Pirates, Nats, Twins -12 28. Braves -18 29. A's -20 30. Brewers -26

Let the Dodgers keep winning… will make them losing in the NLDS to the Padres after a 125 win season even more hilarious.

Lfg bufalo!

“and people around the league and at least somewhat familiar with the thinking of both sides believe it is unlikely Profar returns to San Diego.”

I hate Kike...sucks in the regular season but is Barry Bonds come postseason

Sat: Cease Sun: Darvish Mon: off Tue: King Wed: bullpen game Thu: off Fri: Cease Hypothetically, this is how I would set it up. The Wednesday game should be a Tigers Hinch bullpen game special. I’m riding or dying with the strength of the team. Pérez wouldn’t even make the roster for me. He performed well on the surface with the Padres but his FIP was still 4.82. Meanwhile Jacob and Reynold’s FIPs were 2.28 and 0.98 respectfully. Yeah they’re inexperienced so you worry about nerves but they’re clearly better than Pérez. The dodgers projected starting lineup has owned Pérez with a 1.154 OPS against him in their careers. In 12.2 postseason innings Pérez has a 9.24 ERA, 4.92 FIP, 6.5 K%. His contact oriented arsenal just doesn’t work in the playoffs. There’s an off day right after game 5 so that helps too. I basically chose King game 3 because he’s better at home and he gets extra rest. This year King on 4 days rest has an ERA of 3.96. With 5 days of rest his ERA is 2.44. Game 1 vs ATL is a prime example. If you pitch King game 2 he’ll be available game 5 so it’s debatable to flip Yu and King. Main point is if Musgrove is out give me a bullpen game 4 with Morejon opening. Every pitch and inning counts give me the talented inexperienced arms over the meh veteran. You don’t necessarily need to force Reynolds and Jacob into the bullpen game but I rather have them available as options. I don’t want a repeat of 2022 playoffs where we knew it was stupid to start Clevinger. You have an alternative this time it might be unconventional but gun to my head that’s how I’m rolling. P.S. since Jacob was sent down end of regular season he needs to wait 15 days to be called up but that’s waived if he replaces an injured player like Musgrove. Things get muddy if Joe tries to fight the injury which would make Pérez make the roster by default. I still wouldn’t use him game 4 to start though. Pérez should only be in mop up duty/when the team is behind.

Let them underestimate us again! #lfgsd
