At last San Diego FC secures MLS expansion history.

✅ 18 Wins (Breaking St. Louis’ record)

✅ 60 Points (Breaking LAFC’s record)

Back to first in the West.

If they can secure the top seed they’ll end any argument for best expansion side in league history.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Anders gets his second!

What a wild few minutes.

SDFC leads 3-2. They’re minutes away from (finally) making MLS expansion history. 🤞🏼

All that said, they probably win if Ramon Laureano doesn’t get hurt.

I give Mike Shildt a credit for holding steady when we questioned the 2024 team for their .500 start. His confidence paid off.

This year he was adamant again, but their biggest flaw showed up as late as the Mets series in mid-September.

Didn’t seem to address it & it cost them.

You couldn’t have imagined 2024 ending the way it did.

Going scoreless for 24 innings vs. the Dodgers was insane. Not something you’d ever expect based on how the Padres played the last few months of the year.

This year’s ending? It was staring them in the face all season.

Thing about the Padres WCS loss is that it was entirely predictable.

All year they struggled to score consistently on the road against playoff teams.

Runs in three game series:

6 @ TOR
7 @ PHI
6 @ MIL
6 @ LAD
6 @ DET
9 @ CIN
Two 1 Run games @ CHI

They never found a solution.

Talking through it with Greg Garcia.

🔮 A predictable outcome
📉 The lineup
😡 Bogaerts 3rd strike
😑 Dansby Swanson
🪫 Tatis' at bats
🤦 Arraez's mistake
🧩 Laureano's absence
🗑️ Vedder Cup

Uhhhh, okay Jackson Merrill...

If this score holds and the Cubs win this series it will be almost exclusively because of Dansby Swanson.

Not the most inspiring ABs from Tatis to start this one.

We've got Padres baseball to watch on Thursday.

Game 1 felt like so much of what we know can go wrong with these Padres.

Game 2 felt like so much of what we know the Padres can do right.

It's always a question of which one shows up any given day.

Has any Padre done their job better this year than Adrian Morejon has done his?

Manny Machado! 🚀🚀🚀

0-5 with RISP and 2 left stranded through three innings…

Is Nate Bargatze in the booth for ESPN?

Five runs. Not a single bunt.
