Padres News
Yesterday’s 10-4 drubbing at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks is a hard pill to swallow for the Padres, especially with Casey Mize’s abysmal debut raising eyebrows over A.J. Preller's gamble in trading for him. With nine players on the injured list, the depth of this team is being stretched thin as they fight for the final Wild Card spot. The offense, which has struggled recently, couldn't capitalize against a D-backs team that seems to have their number. Tensions are running high as they prepare for a decisive game against the same Diamondbacks tonight, where a series split is desperately needed to keep postseason hopes alive. Meanwhile, the end of the Matt Waldron experiment and the ongoing concerns surrounding Nick Pivetta's rehab add more layers of uncertainty to this turbulent stretch. The stakes couldn't be higher.
