Padres now have to jump 3 teams to get into a WC spot.

Ryan, safe to say these ESPN estimated return dates are highly unrealistic? Fernando Tatis Jr. Jul 26 Joe Musgrove Aug 6 Add a few weeks to those numbers, and if I'm Preller I'm having Tatis first be the DH for a few weeks before he goes back into the outfield. Stress fracture/contusion type injuries have a tendency to linger if you come back too soon.

It does if they could play the way that they were playing a month ago. All around horrible performance today from most of the team. Waldron was right to be fuming in the dugout during the Indians 6 run inning.

Waldron was right to be fuming in the dugout during the Indians 6 run inning. How were they playing a month ago? Why do we continually get caught up in arbitrary, random sample sizes when they've shown for multiple years they are just a .500 team?

Never accept a Kolek call… ever.
And score some runs like you mean it. Sheesh. Another shutout. Two batters in today's lineup had hits. Two.

A healthy and competitive Musgrove would be a BIG help right now. Not sure that's what they're going to get, though. If he comes back at all. Trying to be optimistic, but yes, has he even thrown a pitch - that we know of - that would put any kind of stress on his elbow? Sounds like a lot of long toss and now maybe a few fastballs. I am not confident that we're getting the complete story from the Front Office, either. That's an on-going issue for this organization.

But he said he's a ways off.

Bases loaded, Manny Muchacho at bat, another strikeout to end the inning. So typical. Remind me again … when is the raking supposed to begin?

Profar and Machado a combined 0-9, but the rest of the boys have picked them up, with another strong outing from Cease.

Pitching staff apparently got the memo about stepping it up. Combined one-hitter today.
So did the offense. This is more like it.

2-1 Padres, bottom of the 9th. Guardians with their top of the lineup coming up. Gotta get this one.

Pitching does the job again. Two games in a row. Some kind of record. Only 2 hits given up today. Great time for the starters to be turning in strong innings.

Did it!!! That was HUGE. Great win. King continues his great pitching and the bullpen came through.

The Soto trade isn't looking too bad so far. Also, the Profar signing has been money.

Needed that Series win, at least.
