Machado and Tatis already have more hits tonight than they did in last years entire wild card series.

This game is why Skubal is an absolute must have this offseason. They cannot miss on him.

Is it really a miss if they don't even try?

Seriously you have like 6 guys stretched out to pitch 3+ innings and your season is on the brink. It’s really time to put someone else in but no one is even warming

Eh, they all suck too.

[Wilson A2000]

Why was Dansby not even near the bag on that double? No point to have him backing up Nico.

Have we already discussed how the play by play guy is clearly rooting for the padres 

He's just making up for JD's "us" and "we"s

they have one more inning to get to king or they're gonna get shut out by rodriguez/morejon/miller

At this point, they need to hope they can at least force the Padres to use all those guys.  Maybe that helps for tomorrow night.

No way Boyd sees Tatis/Machado again.  Get a RHP in there.

[JBears79]

Honestly, id just take a hit right now to get something going

[Funky-daddy]

I came in reallY confident with bregman 7/8 career vs king. Wonder if the eye is making the spin hard to pick up

[Tryptamine]

Happ laces a double 90+% of the time instead it's just close enough to Tatis to get caught, fun.

[s2obed]

horsefeathers Tatis. I can’t stand cheaters. Once a cheater, always a cheater imo 

[UMFan83]

No hitter through 4

[mk49]

Still, no hit.

[Tryptamine]

It's kind of amazing how many horsefeathers pitches Nico swings at and still manages to strike out so little.

Like smoke some weed?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

that's game. if you're able to bet i'd go all in on a no-hitter

[Andy]

Let's just get no hit. If we're going out pathetic like this, at least make it memorable

You sure you don’t want a 9th inning tease? 🤣
