More great news. The Pirates, Mets and Diamondbacks all lost. Gained a game on them all. Excellent.

The Soto trade isn't looking too bad so far. Also, the Profar signing has been money. Getting King in that trade was a steal.

its clear that Cease and King perform well with a few extra days of rest, Padres should add a spot starter to the rotation and give everyone a couple days break

Is it at all strange that the Dodgers, even with all their recent pitching foibles, still just DFA'd James Paxton? Couldn't keep him on the 40? Seems like a bad move unless they're 100% in on this River kid - thanks for the trade Padres - and both of their injured rotation pieces are ready to go. The Padres should be jumping in with both feet.

The Padres should be jumping in with both feet. No. They have Kershaw and Glasnow both coming back this week and need more bullpen help. Grove and Graterol just began rehab assignments, too. And no, the Padres definitely don't need Paxton with the deadline coming.

Ryan, safe to say these ESPN estimated return dates are highly unrealistic? Fernando Tatis Jr. Jul 26 Joe Musgrove Aug 6 Uh, yeah. Not close. FTJ now updated to 8/2 est. return date. Still unrealistic?

Guess Cronenworth didn't have the hops to get to that slight overthrow on the comebacker fielded by Estrada. Croney needed a butterfly net. No harm done.

Our starting pitching, and also our bullpen, have been absolutely amazing!!! So much fun. Let's get the Series against the Nats, or a sweep, because here come the Orioles next.

Waldron not locating - shaky start. 3-0 in the first inning, 4 hits already. QS streak still in play for now though. But this could be a bad omen: Padres had their own guys on in the top of the first - then 3 Ks from the guys who are supposed to be able to get them around. D'oh! Arraez comes through - again - as do Merrill and Kim. 3-2. Still waiting for the racking to begin, Manny… Profar, however, continues his dream season with #16. Now 4-3… The Nats' pitcher is about to throw himself out of the game already well past 50 pitches, and still not out of the second inning. Parker now past 70 pitches, and the Padres are still scoring. Now 6-3. Oh me of little faith. 11-3 as Padres break it wide open in the 4th.

Good to see Merrill break out of a pretty harsh slump. He got out of it the second game in Cleveland. 7-16 since, including the 3-4 today with another at bat coming. Never worried about that guy, with that sweet swing.
