Winning the Mitch White-Musgrove matchup with Trea and Freddie going 0-8, Kimbrel throwing a clean inning and JT hitting 2 homers…. Just like we drew it up?
Yeah, when I saw the pitching matchups I kinda thought "well, don't expect much on Thursday and hopefully they can take the rest of the series" so tonights when is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. But anything can happen the rest of the series. Hopefully JT can keep this momentum going and the rest of the lineup can find some timely hits
Yeah especially when he got him the second time and Doc came to get him, he was all smiles. Even if I might have liked him to get 5 innings for a shot at a win, it was a nice moment
Of course Machado decides to come back tonight against the Dodgers. Same thing with Kris Bryant. Guy misses 44 games and decides to come back Game 1 against the Dodgers at Coors.
Because every team view playing the Dodgers as a playoff or WS game. That's why you see them celebrate and get really hype when they do anything good. On the otherhand, it's just another series in a long regular season for the Dodgers and that's why they sometime can be lackluster.
Ventured in the Padres Sub for the first time this year. They are actually making relatively civil comments but clearly depressed. Padres need a Priest. Everything went our way tonight after the first 2 innings, about time. Tomorrow is Max’s night.
Emotionally the Lux walkoff and Jansen blown save were more fun, but narrative wise this was the best win of the year imo. Our bullpen steals a game from their formerly cheating ace. All runs scored by our struggling infielders. CT shifts momentum by gunning out Grisham at home. The bullpen is lights out. Grisham makes another stupid dive. Machado struck out three times. Just a chefs kiss
Went today mainly for the bobblehead and I was uneasy about the game since I had read on here this was the game we were more likely to lose but I’m glad to have seen that W! Stadium went crazy when CT3 made that throw.
Never should of counted Justin "Red Jesus" Turner out, really was his night tonight. Kimbrel had a nice clean inning too. Plus, seeing Manny strikeout twice by White was crazy!
Since im not allowed to post yet and im very new to watching baseball and this is an active thread can anyone tell me why the dodgers play the rockies so many times throughout the season compared to other teams ?
Each of the 30 MLB teams is grouped into a "division" of 5, which is based loosely on geography. In a normal 162 game season, each team will play the other teams in their own division for ~1/2 those games.
I love Lux but he really needs to stop playing the outfield. If he was going to get time there with LAD he should have played 100 more games there in the minors, but he didn’t, and it’s silly to keep putting him out there

Must be 2017
UNDEFEATED IN THE CT3 CANNON ERA
GINGER JESUS HEARD Y'ALL TALKING SHIT
lol holy shit he owns Grisham
Since rocking the Kimbrel flair after he gave up 2 runs in the 9th to the Guardians on 6/19, Craig Kimbrel has not given up a single earned run.
Yeah, when I saw the pitching matchups I kinda thought "well, don't expect much on Thursday and hopefully they can take the rest of the series" so tonights when is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. But anything can happen the rest of the series. Hopefully JT can keep this momentum going and the rest of the lineup can find some timely hits
JT helped run in 100% of all the runs tonight which is amazing but also concerning let's not get too comfortable
We are historically bad against snell though… tomorrows gonna be tougher than those stats say
That game was wrapped up as soon as Kimbrel started warming up. Always in the bag.
MITCH FUCKING WHITE HELD THE PADRES TO 1 RUN
holy shit we stole one starting Mitch White against a dealing Joe Musgrove.
Loved seeing Mitch White strike out Manny twice and step up. This was the game we were most likely to lose and he only allowed 1 run. Good shit mitch!
I hope Mitch's performance really doesn't get lost in the shuffle tonight
Yeah especially when he got him the second time and Doc came to get him, he was all smiles. Even if I might have liked him to get 5 innings for a shot at a win, it was a nice moment
Justin Turner owns musgrove
musgroove, amirite?
So beautiful watching everyone stand in unison. (For tonight at least) I love this sport.
Mitchell White is simply better than Joe Musgrove, sorry I don't make the rules.
We really won against musgrove on a bullpen day…
Yeah can’t imagine he’s gonna wanna stay in SD next year lol
It was the wrong Turner's bobblehead night
Justin Turner ran more than Trea Turner tonight. Blatant false advertising.
JUSTIN MATTHEW TURNER
All my JT stans get in here
Nice win amirite compadres???
No, Curtis. You are never right.
JT, Muncy, Mitch White, and Kimbrel carried us to the win. Just like we all expected.
Craig Kimbrel had his first clean inning since June 2
June 5th.
Never lost in te Jake Lamb starter era
Of course Machado decides to come back tonight against the Dodgers. Same thing with Kris Bryant. Guy misses 44 games and decides to come back Game 1 against the Dodgers at Coors.
Angels brought back Trout just for us, and maybe Rendon as well. Phils brought back Harper in the middle of our second series against them.
Because every team view playing the Dodgers as a playoff or WS game. That's why you see them celebrate and get really hype when they do anything good. On the otherhand, it's just another series in a long regular season for the Dodgers and that's why they sometime can be lackluster.
All 9 players in the lineup are important
Ventured in the Padres Sub for the first time this year. They are actually making relatively civil comments but clearly depressed. Padres need a Priest. Everything went our way tonight after the first 2 innings, about time. Tomorrow is Max’s night.
That throw from Taylor and tag by Smith is honestly one of the most impressive plays of the season so far! Big win
Nice and chill outing tonight for Kimbrel. We need more of those.
Get that blind up on payroll.
Today was a statement W.
Every single pitcher kicked ass tonight.🔥🔥🔥
JT tonight:
Even if he's decent, that would be a huge upgrade.
"Today, the #Dodgers acquired infielder Chris Taylor from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for RHP Zach Lee."
We stole this game. Had no business winning it
Hell yeah.
Really awesome to take a game off their best pitcher with our worst starter! Super clutch start, hope the Dodgers keep it going.
Ahem. Least best starter.
This was the one I was ready to concede. Let’s fuckin goooooooo!
It occurred to me in this game that the Padres’ colors are poop and pee colors
really enjoy the organ rendition of Sweet Child O’ Mine after a Kimbrel strikeout
Missed the game. How'd Mitch look? I really like him
Looking better with each start
i believed in Craig Kimbrel
I had some concerns, ain’t gonna lie.
That's my secret, Captain. I never believe in Craig Kimbrel.
Never doubted him for a second.
You bet!
Doesn’t take much faith to believe in him getting the bottom 3 of the order
No because the ump gifted him two K's. He got lucky. I root for us to lose when he pitches because I like being right.
SAN DIEGO ‘CANT BEAT LA’ PADRES!!!!
Reminder that this was the most winnable game for the Padres. Definitely a good sign for the next 3
Undefeated in the I felt the hype and wore my jersey even tho my house was hot af era!
STILL UNDEFEATED IN JAKE LAMB AS A STARTER ERA
Musgrove pitched an otherwise solid game, but two swings cost him the game; it's a cruel sport, i tell ya
Indeed it is.
now that was a good game.
Emotionally the Lux walkoff and Jansen blown save were more fun, but narrative wise this was the best win of the year imo. Our bullpen steals a game from their formerly cheating ace. All runs scored by our struggling infielders. CT shifts momentum by gunning out Grisham at home. The bullpen is lights out. Grisham makes another stupid dive. Machado struck out three times. Just a chefs kiss
Apparently Machado drove 7 hours from Arizona just to play today and still took the L let’s gooo
I hope everyone thought about me when Kimbrel slammed the door.
Keep pushing every agenda as long as their positive
That has to be Craig’s first clean inning in 2 months
Jt decided to take his meds and went OFF
Somewhere Tatis is riding a scooter.
Kimbrel now Kimbro again.
Good job Mitch , been impressed with your performance since the Phillies.
Went today mainly for the bobblehead and I was uneasy about the game since I had read on here this was the game we were more likely to lose but I’m glad to have seen that W! Stadium went crazy when CT3 made that throw.
CRAIG KIMBREL DIDN’T GIVE UP A RUN
Fuck Grisham and the Fraudres
Never should of counted Justin "Red Jesus" Turner out, really was his night tonight. Kimbrel had a nice clean inning too. Plus, seeing Manny strikeout twice by White was crazy!
Kimbrel under 4 ERA
Flip a coin to see what Dodgers you're going to get tonight.

weird scheduling
Love to see a good start from Mitch
Go fuck yourself San Diego
Kimbrel truthers rise up!
I love Lux but he really needs to stop playing the outfield. If he was going to get time there with LAD he should have played 100 more games there in the minors, but he didn’t, and it’s silly to keep putting him out there
I don't know if seen that kind of game, all the runs came from the same player
