“QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING”
=========
PADRES-PLAYOFFS…So walk back into history with me. The Padres went to the World Series in 1984 against Detroit-following a stunning comeback playoff win over the Cubs. In the mid 1990’s-the Padres went to the World Series at Yankees Stadium. And now this year, they renew their longtime rivalry with the Dodgers with a legitimate chance to get to the World Series. Which is the most exciting Pennant Race run have Padres fans experienced? I think this year, 38-come from behind wins, all those 9th inning walkoff wins, the fabulous starting pitching, the talent deep bullpen, and the record 56 sellouts and 3.31M fans at Petco, an all time record. This year more than any other.
DODGERS…For everything good about the Dodgers, Ohtani-Betts-Freeman-Smith-Muncy-Hernandez, there is something bad to consider. The woeful LA starting rotation, shredded by injuries. There is just 1-starter left, who was in the opening day rotation, Yosh Yamamoto. Jack Flaherty will join him in the post season rotation. After that it might be Walker Buehler and then bullpen days-think about that bullpen days. No problem if the Dodgers big bats score 11-runs a game, but that’s doubtful. Just like the Dodgers ability to get thru this series with San Diego

Recent history would indicate the Franciscan Friars are in for a rough week. The passion in Ohtani is infectious. It will remind old time Pade fans of who the real Hollywood Stars are today.
