Michael King wasn't sharp, but the team found a way.
It's almost here. Unfortunately there was a bit of concerning news in the leadup to Opening Day. Yu Darvish might not be ready for the start of the season. So who will take his spot in the rotation?

That one will sting all offseason. With the exception of two pitches Yu Darvish was masterful. But for the second straight game the Padres' offense never showed up. The Dodgers ended one of the best seasons San Diego has ever had, with a Game 5 shutout. What went wrong the last couple games? Should Shildt have pulled Darvish after six? Would it have even mattered? And how do we process a painful end to a terrific season?On Friar is available on YouTube!

Despite a hot start from the Padres at the plate, the Dodgers came out of a high stress NLDS opener with a 7-5 win. Manny homered and Xander Bogaerts came to life.

Jackson Merrill had a rare misplay in the outfield. Mike Shildt walked Mookie Betts with two strikes. Darnay and Fernando digest the loss.On Friar is available on YouTube!

Tuesday at Dodger Stadium was fun. The last two nights? Not so much. Los Angeles pummeled the Padres in Thursday's finale, and in doing so secured the NL West crown.

The Padres didn't pop bottles at Petco Park, but they handled business on their end - and now have one of their biggest weeks ahead of them. At the very least they could be a Wild Card team.
