“QUESTIONS-WE’VE GOT QUESTIONS”
=========
PADRES..Do they suddenly have a problem with pitchers-catchers tipping pitchers?  Seems to have been an issue with Nick Pivetta, Dylan Cease and now Wandy Peralta.  Third time this season the question has surfaced.  Don’t think they have a problem with this batting order now that most everyone is back off the DL.  Heartbreaking loss to the Yankees, but a fun series, back and forth hitting home runs and getting the lead and then giving it back.  Survived a scare with the forearm cramp with Dylan Cease hopefully.  This month of May, time to make a run to get ahead of the Dodgers, with these 15-games in 30-days or so against the lowly Pirates-Rockies-Marlins-Angels, don’t you think?

DODGERS..Money can buy you talent, cannot buy you health, can it?  Now LA is without Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez, both catalyst to early season success.  Add the injury element to 6-key pitchers.  And the fact the bullpen has been asked to throw (157 innings) so far. Long season, but they have depth problems now in the lineup and on the mound.

ANGELS..Virtually all the off season deals to rent free agents have not panned out for the last place Halos.  Not hitting (.210-BA), not pitching (4.27-ERA) and they keep signing fringe pitchers who are unemployed like Touki Toussaint, Hunter Strickland, Andrew Vasquez.  Buy low get low results?  Is that a winning formula to fix a 99-loss team?  Feel so bad for Mike Trout, beyond all the injuries, but the wreckage of a roster around him too.  Agree?
