Going to be a tough series obviously. Getting a win tonight would be a huge boost for chances to win the series. Let's hope we can get to Glasnow - a feat most teams cannot do.

Waldron needs a good start...against a difficult opponent....or this could be his last start even with Joe ailing IMO.

The Dodgers have won 7 straight and 14 of their last 16. Glasnow is tough. We handled Paxton pretty well in the last matchup. Buehler looked like he was still knocking off some rust in his return against the Marlins. Hopefully we can get a series win.

Padres vs Dodgers…always a tough series regardless of the pitching matchups. Gotta swing the bat and put some crooked numbers on the board

Go Padres!!!

Hedge … does not need a good start to stay in the rotation … just cannot have a really bad start.

With Vasquez already in for Musgrove (and is on track for at least one more even if Joe in on track to return right on schedule) … move out Waldron and go to Brito or Morejon (neither who have gone a lot of multi-innings) may mess with the pen and the only rostered SP in EP is Wolf who is at best marginal.

So, Waldron has to be BAD to shift to a different gamble now. He has had seven starts … 3 very good … 4 very bad … not a good profile even for a #5 but at least can go 5-6 innings saving the pen … no assurance that the potential replacements can even do that yet.

Thinking that when (if) Musgrove returns … Vasquez may hold that #5 slot (depending a bit on his next start) … and Waldron becomes the odd man out.

Agree, unfortunately. I will say, though, that if his start is truly horrific, then maybe we see Jackson Wolf get another crack at starting big league games. He's been holding his own in AAA... 4.56 ERA in 6 GS / 25.2 ip with 24 k... He's got a high WHIP, though... nearly 1.6. 25 hits allowed and 16 walks. That last bit could be what holds him back.

Not a bad way to introduce himself to the home crowd for Arraez. King was nasty and Campy was awesome too. Not a bad way to start the series.

Great pitchers dual, nice that SD finally didnt fold late against the LAD. Great Game by Campusano, King deserved better decision wise.

Great late inning walk off.

King was amazing!

Arraez gets the Gatorade bath but King and Campusano were players of the game.
