I was feeling pretty grim there for a moment. Nice come back/night for the offense, scoring 6 runs with nothing from Manny or Soto. Great team effort. Lets get the series win tonight.

Tonigth, a LHSP on the mound, fully expect a RHH heavy line up, and as a reward for the 9th inning AB by Azocar, he should get a start today.

1. Kim - SS, 2. Soto - RF, 3. Machado - 3B, 4. Bell - 1B, 5. Myers - LF, 6. Alfaro - DH, 7. Crone - 2B, 8. Nola - C, 9. Azocar - CF.

529 .600 .529 1.129 (updated after his 2 BB's last night)

Azocar's stats in 21 PA (17 AB) since coming back up from AAA El Paso

"Pour some Sugar on me" LFGSD!

Melvin said Campy would probably start at DH today before the game yesterday. He's been pretty straight forward about that kind of stuff, so I expect that's what we'll see. If that's the case I think the only real question is whether he goes with Myers or Sugar in CF or if he'll give Profar or even Soto a day to get them both in there.

With a day off tomorrow and not a travel day ... might not worry too much about giving a player a rest day (or at least not more than one player). Might be more important to try for the best line-up to win what should be a winnable game.

Given his knee may be still "healing" ... sitting Alfaro might make sense (fits with Campusano at DH). Doubt at his point they sit Profar or Soto. So maybe it comes down to CF with either Azocar or Myers over Grisham. My guess they go with Myers (bigger bat) and cover later with Azocar for defense in CF and Myers goes to 1B to improve defense over Bell when the get the lead later in the game.

We REALLY need to win tonight.Hopefully Mil continues it's slide.

With the dodgers up next we need to win the more winnable games to keep our cushion.

IF we can somehow win the dodger series I'll feel a WHOLE lot better about our playoff chances.

But if we lose 2 of 3..... or worse....with more dodger games upcoming...it's going to really affect my attitude about October.

Quote from MrPadre19 on September 7, 2022, 10:51 am

Considering we're like 3-18 against the dodgers in our last 21 games..... 6 is a lot

I'm not throwing in the towel....I'm just hoping the last Series against the Giants isn't a win or you're out series

Last night old friends Perdomo  and Rogers gave up 8 runs on 15 pitches to turn a 6-1 lead into a 10-7 loss  for Mil. They sure are trying to give it to us but will we take it?

Kennedy - Perdomo - Rogers are NOW doing more to get the Padres into the playoffs than they ever did as Padres!
