Quick hook on Treinen there. Guy barely got wood on a 100mph fastball

Padres get another free base.

We don’t pay Mookie enough

Wow what an ending.

Imagine if this was a playoff series. These first 2 games, wow.

This team is special. Just stay relatively healthy and they have a great shot at repeating.

Can’t believe people were saying the 2017 team might be the GOAT. If this team stays fairly healthy and players perform at least fairly close to their expectations, I think this team is better.

^ to be fair, until this year that team was unreal. So many movie magic moments. It’s what makes the ending so heartbreaking even now. But I agree, this team is just in a league of their own. The championship confidence really put them over the top.

Definitely more talent. Betts wasn't on that 2017 team. We added Bauer, for heaven's sake. Buehler had only gotten his 9.1 inning cup of coffee late in that '17 season and didn't even pitch in the postseason. Urias hurt himself in '17 and obviously was out for the postseason. We have Treinen, Knebel, Gonzalez, and Graterol in the pen now. We didn't have Muncy in '17. The star quality atop the roster and then the depth, it's just no comparison.

It's really hard to get through the baseball postseason. There are no guarantees. But this team is loaded. My goodness, I even like Raley! The quality that the system is producing is incredible.

Anyone have an ETA for Bellinger's return? Heard he has a fibula hairline fracture

Graterol activated, Neuse added to the roster and is starting at second base today. Vesia optioned back out. Ashton Goudeau put on waivers and claimed by the Rockies.

Taylor hits one a mile off Snell, and it's 2-0 Dodgers in the 2nd.

Machado running - avoided the GIDP.

Yeah, Padres are out running us on the bases this series.

Seager in his first little slump of the season. Tight game again. Bauer still in there, and, as usual, Snell's pitch count ratchets up so he's out.

Bad balls and strikes calls are reaching critical mass. It's out of control. I can't believe there are actually people who still want these to be rendered as judgment calls.
