“TUESDAY TALKING POINTS”
==========
Padres-Dodgers on Tuesday night, coming off the wild end of game bad theatre we saw in the Friars (10-2) bashing of Dodgers Blue.
Thoughts on what has to happen.
GAME 2…Think the winner of game two wins the series.
WHO IS HOT..Padres..7-home runs in 2-games against the shellshocked LA pitching staff.
WHO IS NOT..Anyone who is listed as a Dodgers pitcher-a starting rotation staggered by injuries, a bullpen overused, and no help on the way.
HEROES..Pick anyone wearing Brown & Gold..Tatis-Merrill-Arraez-Higashioka-Machado. The stars are earning their money.
BUMS..A struggling pitching rotation that is faltering, from Flaherty to Yamamoto to a (1-6) Buehler.
KEEP AN EYE ON..If Freddie Freeman plays, or Max Muncy goes to first.
ON FIELD-IN STANDS..Will there be more antics from Jurickson Profar and Fernando Tatis in the aftermath of what happened Sunday night.
KEEPING SCORE…Last I checked, he Sunday night win only counted as one victory in the best of five series. But the damage to the Dodgers psyche has to be devastating. And the national image, the whole country saw it on TV, the emotional collapse on the field and in the dugout in LA.
NOTICE SERVED..The entire country following baseball now knows who this Padres team is, how strong they are across the entire roster, and how dominant the starting pitching is.
NEXT UP..Two pitchers going in opposite directions..13-game winner Michael King-resembling Greg Maddux, and Walker Buehler, no longer the dominant ace, and one you never know what you get start to start.
THE FANS…Friar faithful waving the Gold Towels, not just to salute San Diego, but like waving ‘good bye’ to the Dodgers playoff hopes.
