Proving once again that KC made the right call not sending the runner home v. SF in Game 7 of the ‘14 World Series.  Challenging Crawford is a fool’s errand….

Gordon would have been out by 10 feet.

The Padres are PRETENDERS. I didn't believe the Soto trade was going to all of a sudden make them legit contenders. It was really confusing to me why all the commentators were talking about getting Soto as some key to post-season relevance for a few years. Yes, he's a great hitter, but since when has having the best hitter been the key to World Series wins? 

You know what's key to post season relevance? Having Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer as your 1 & 2 starters.  It's one thing to get smoked by the Fodgers in L.A. It's quite another to be silenced into a bagel at home against the Giants. Maybe given how dominant Wood is at Petco Park, the Padres should have traded for him instead of Soto.

Nothing epitomizes the Padres more than the highlight I saw of Machado loafing out of the box after hitting a ball that would bounce off the wall in RF, and being held to a single. The Padres are the Cal Football of MLB, always clamoring for respect they haven't earned on the field, and always failing when the spotlight is on them when they have the opportunity for a breakthrough. They now trail the Phillies in the WC and are just 1 game up on the Brewers for WC #3. LOL if they miss the playoffs.

Well, it was key to the Nats winning the WS. 

Soto, Drury, Bell and Hader madke the Pads significantly better. And gives them a better shot.  

  I’m not gonna make a judgment about 5 games. Takes awhile to mesh sometimes.  Tatis back in a couple weeks should help. So,it’s a tad early to bury the Pads.  You also miss the fact that they have elite pitching. They will, I believe, put it together and get hot.  

But it’s hard to see anyone beating the Dodgers.  74-33. And they have May, Trienen and probably Buehler coming back. Only question is if Gonsolin and Anderson are truly this good. But if they fade, May and Buehler can step in. It’s disgusting how the Dodgers are.
