Profar with his 1st 5 hit game... I wouldn't move him off lead off

Profar

Soto

Manny

Tatis

Bell

Crone zone

Would be my top 6... Drury is interesting can spell Manny at 3B..Crone at 2B can DH..and play 1B... sort of a Vet version of Batten with Power...and more of an Offensive presence as well..

He also has a fair amount of OF experience as well.

Well all can say is that this has been one hell of a day.....Massive Move by the Padres with Soto, Bell, Drury and everybody else AJ traded for and then this team comes out and takes both ends of a double header....What a day

Go Pads !!!

And Henry......Grishman is having one hell of a series 😉

Was anyone else impressed by Josh Hader tonight? 97-99 with control and a slider that had the batter standing flatfooted looking lost. I think our closer problems are over. I didn't realize his stuff was that good. The hitters didn't have a chance.

Jason Stark says he's the most unhittable closer in history. Among relievers with 300+ innings pitched he's first in K/9, H/9, and WHIP. I don't think we really appreciate just how good he is.

Booster was right! His heat plays a lot different in the 9th than did Rodgers's

This could get fun boys!

We will be back at full strength tonight, with all our shiny new toys in town and available to play. I would fully expect Melvin to get all the new guys into the lineup tonight. With that said, here's about what I expect to see the lineup look tonight. Given that Myers is still getting his legs under him, and I still think Machado is not 100% from his ankle.

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

From what is was yesterday morning, that line up is just "SHAM WOW"!!

Yeah Manny will DH a lot more with his ankle still healing...Myers was only supposed to play 1 game yesterday so 💯 he has the day off... Drury is such a great add it almost went unnoticed.... you don't lose much with him in the lineup vs the starter he replaces and in some cases it improves it...
