    San Diego Padres @ Arizona Diamondbacks series thread. 09/27/24-09/29/24

    If we win tomorrow that puts us at 89 wins for the season. We would essentially need both the Braves (88 wins) and Mets (87 wins) to lose tomorrow and then the Braves and Mets can split their Monday doubleheader and we’re in. If we tie with the Mets we lose that tie-breaker. If we tie with...

    I doubt Torey will be gone… and he shouldn’t be. But the pen will see a good deal of change. I don’t think Walker will be back. I doubt Perdomo will be the starting SS. And I believe CF will be dealt with as well, as McCarthy and Thomas are just not good enough.

    The stats support that statement. My guess is guys like E-Rod, Kelly, Gallen, Walker, Marte, Gurriel, Moreno and Monty all felt the need to press once they were back. While they were out, their backups simply approached the game as backups. They were likely more loose and played with fun.

    They lost a ton of games due to injury. Just because dudes eventually made it off the IR, doesn’t mean they’re “back” and certainly doesn’t mean they can easily slip back into the team chemistry…

    That would be the Suns vs Dallas… which was so painful I think it’s still clouding your perspective.

    Walker & Gurriel go down swinging with two runners on base. Damn…

    Never said I expect the Padres to just roll over. However, I do think our odds for getting to the post season increase with the Dodgers wining the west.

    Just need the Dodgers to win tonight! If they do, they lock up the West and the Padres have zero to play for this weekend!

    To be fair, Hazen was most certainly not the only one "touting" the talent on this team. Many baseball "experts" and many of us at ASFN, have been doing the same. Some excuse the players and pin any shred of poor play or poor outcomes, solely on the shoulders of the manager. However, the...

    The math says we'll still have a shot if we lose tonight and regardless of the Braves - Mets outcome... But yes, it would be terrific if we can scratch out a W tonight! Even better if we win and the Braves lose!

    Too early to talk about next year stuff… However, gotta believe that Hazen will not only address the bullpen and who knows about the rotation, but he will also deal with CF and SS as both McCarthy and Perdomo have shown that while nice players, they’re not everyday starters.

    Not by a long shot Jon… the Braves & Mets still 2 games against each other, which will have a huge impact on how things look heading into the weekend. The Braves finish against the Royals who will likely still be playing for a post season birth. Who knows… but this can all come down to the...

    Giants going with Logan Webb who has owned the Dbacks over the years…. We need to dig deep and find a way to grab the W!

    Let’s see what they average for the rest of the season. Rome wasn’t built in a day… and building a sustainable, reliable fan base takes time. The trend is favorable, albeit certainly not rocketing to higher levels.
