Game Story: If you're a fan of the San Diego Padres (hashtag#ForTheFaithful) then this was a very hard game to watch against the Los Angeles Dodgers (hashtag#LetsGoDodgers). Ian Genge joined me for this one, and an Major League Baseball (MLB) wraparound. Here are some words on what took place with the Padres too. https://lnkd.in/eDzZ8q9R hashtag#NLWest hashtag#PlayersWeekend San Diego Padres (69-53) Batting Order Manager: Mike Shildt 1.

Slider is in, Fastball is up. Can get rocked. Headlines: Won 7 of the last 8 prior 3-2 loss to LAD on Friday. Bullpen only allowed one run in the last five games. As stated in the LAD section series could decide NL West. This should be fun. But truly with this bullpen, Adam, Suarez, Morejon and Miller... if the starters can stay on track, SD could have a great postseason.

Can absolutely be elite still if he rounds into shape. Headlines: Four-Game Losing Streak Snapped. Muncy, Kim are out. Bullpen is piecemealed. Teams play each other 6 of the next 10 games. It will decide the shape of the NL West through late August. LAD were 3-1 (4-1 w/ 3-2 win on FRI) in the season series in the only meetings from 6-16 to 6-19. Tight, but had run scoring.
