It's tough losing two in a row with Musgrove and King. Our 4th and 5th starters need to step it up this weekend to get us back on a roll. We have a chance to gain some ground on at least one and maybe two of Arizona and LA.

Regression was inevitable. And regression to his mean is going to be noteworthy… his career numbers are not great. Summed up, his 139 OPS+ (so far this season) is a career 98 - just average. He's/We've been living the dream so far this season. Let's hope what we're seeing is a minor correction and not a major one … Not much season left, and he needs to be This Year's Profar for just a little big longer. I don't think he craters, but he was never going to be an .870 OPS guy for a full season.

Padres jump out to a 3–0 lead. And then … Perez… Stay tuned.
Took 30+ pitches, but he worked out of it. Unless he gets sharper, it could be an early BP call today. Boogerts booted ball didn't help him, either.

Perez shouldn't need to worry about giving up a few runs now.
Probably shouldn't have said a word - he's already behind the 8-ball again in inning 2. He's got plenty of nothing so far, three hits on three pitches.
And now, he clears the bases. 7 run lead just dropped to 3.
He looks just like the guy Pittsburgh couldn't wait to get rid of.

Never thought Shildt would leave Perez in for 5 innings but it worked. He gave up 7 hits and 3 Ws in 5 innings but kept getting out of most of the jams.
Reynolds looked great. I was surprised he got pulled for Estrada, the two hits he gave up weren't that hard hit. Glad Scott only got used for one guy. Nice to have a bit of a breather.

In just 1 2/3 innings. Safe to say he gets a day off Saturday.

161 for Manny. Just 2 behind Colbert. I love how big Nate is being mentioned on MLB network.

Merrill in the NL is: 5th in Triples 8th in Batting Average 10th in Hits 13th in Total Bases 14th in RBI 15th in OPS 28th in HRs 30th in SB He also tied a Padre Rookie record with his 4th hit with the bases loaded this season. Merrill Update in NL: 5th in Triples 6th in Batting Average 9th in Hits 12th in OPS 14th in Total Bases 14th in RBI 24th in Stolen Bases 27th in HRs He seems to be running more lately and taking advantage of his speed. He's most likely going to be a 20-20 guy. He has 16 SBs with an 84.2% success rate.

At 21 years old, he's already proven he can get that as a Rookie, and he's only going to get better. But yeah, 30-30, at times, and a consistent 20-20 guy, is what I can envision.
