NLWCS Game 1 Thread: 9/30 Cardinals @ Padres

Y’ALL! There’s playoff baseball in San Diego!

But it absolutely SUCKS that it has to come with the Padres’ top-two pitchers being unavailable for the wild card series.

But we me must go on. We must pull through. We must do the damn thing.

Chris Paddack, for all that is holy, get it done.

Starting Lineup

In his first career postseason appearance, Fernando Tatis Jr. will leadoff today’s lineup with Manny Machado, Eric Hosmer, and Wil Myers following him up. Tommy Pham is the team’s DH for the afternoon while Austin Nola gets the nod at catcher.
