please dont start clev again..... just musgrove darshivish and snell rest of way

88 dodgers used hershiser, welch and belcher and that was enough even with their terrible lineup and Gibson only getting 1 at bat..

I totally agree to go with Yu, Snell and the Muskrat himself.

I don't see how you can possibly start a pitcher with an ERA of around 10 against a pitcher with an ERA of around 3 and expect to win. He was lucky to make it 2 innings! I was so upset with that. The Padres have a couple of middle relievers that could start if need be - but please don't start Clevinger. He needs to go into the off season and work some things out. Great potential but not a starter at this point in time.

I absolutely loved seeing Trevor there. He is a class act and a nice gentleman.

what is also strange is how they argue regular season record matters versus playoff record

In football you can start your best QB every game if healthy so thats the playoff product you have

in baseball you could be 10-40 with your number 3-5 starters in the regular season which means nothing int he playoffs as most of the games are your number 1 and 2 starters

great pitching beats great hitting as well...they should should just bring up the record of your 1-2 or 1-3 starters in regular season..what does it matter what your record is when your number 5 starter pitched in the regular season

Agreed - what the Padres, or any team for that matter, needs is the 1967 World Series version of Bob Gibson. He pitched 3 complete games, winning all 3. He only allowed a total of 14 hits and 3 earned runs for all 3 games. Wow, absolutely amazing!

Or Mickey Lolich the following year. Three complete games in 8 days, beating Gibson in Game 7 by throwing a complete game on two days' rest, yielding only a solo shot with two out in the ninth.

I would take either one! Since Mickey was a Padre, and so was Goose Gossage, maybe that would be a couple of nice pick ups!
