Rough night for the offense. Wheeler was really good and the few balls we did manage to hit hard were to the wrong place. We had 3 outs that went further than Harper's homer. I thought Melvin would go to Drury in the final AB. He's supposed to be the lefty killer and he squared a couple balls up against Anderson. I know he's struggling too, but I still would've preferred him to Bell. Oh well. On to the next one. Put little bro in his place tomorrow.

Austin earned bragging rights, driving in the only run in a 1-0 San Diego victory June 24.

Predicting todays winning line up. Melvin shakes it up a little bit.

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

I think Melvin gives Nola a rest from C duties, but keeps his bat in the line up against little brother. And hopes to catch lightning in giving the rook a start against Nola.

Well, that could have gone better. Virtually no offense again. Darvish made one real mistake, and Harper muscled the other one out. But this is playoff baseball. Battle of Nola tomorrow, lets even this up before heading to PHI.

The gravel road is bumpy
It's a hard, old road to ride
But the clearer road's up yonder
With the cinders on the side
Trails of troubles
Roads of battle
Paths of victory
We shall walk

5 Wins 8 to go..Lets Go Padres!

Juan Soto has put 13 balls in play at 100 mph+ during the postseason. That is five more than any other player.

Manny Machado and Bryce Harper are tied for second most, with 8.

 

On those balls:

Soto is 5-for-13 w/ a 2B

Machado is 4-for-8 w/ 2 HR

Harper is 6-for-8 w/ 2 HR, 2 2B

No one even close to Soto.. sure the results have just been ok.. but this is a good sign as we move on...

5 Wins 8 to go Lets Go Padres!

It's an understatement to say we need this one tonight.

I like our chances in game 3....but can't go down 0-2 going to Philly.
