Blake Snell will start for the Padres in Game 2 of the NLDS on Wednesday against the Phillies.​

It'll be Yu Darvish taking the ball for Tuesday's NLCS opener against the Phillies in San Diego. Snell kept the Dodgers' formidable lineup in check last Friday, recording six strikeouts and holding Los Angeles to just one run over 5 1/3 innings of work. The 29-year-old southpaw holds a stellar 2.89 ERA and 55/22 K/BB ratio across 43 2/3 innings (11 appearances, nine starts) in the postseason dating back to 2019.

Zack Wheeler will start for the Phillies in Game 1 of the NLCS on Tuesday against the Padres.​

Wheeler draws the Phillies' starting assignment for the first day in postseason history where two playoff rounds overlap as the ALCS matchup has yet to be determined. It'll be Aaron Nola taking the ball on Wednesday in Game 2 of the NLCS. Wheeler allowed three runs over six innings last Wednesday in the Phillies' loss to the Braves in Game 2 of the NLDS. The 32-year-old veteran workhorse has allowed just three runs on six hits with a 9/2 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings (two starts) this postseason.

We used that one a lot in 2010 when the Padres and Giants were battling for the division.

That video has me rethinking my Padres support for this playoffs. Jesus what a sad bunch.

wow, there's going to be a record of that forever. Maybe the Super Bowl Shuffle wasn't that bad....

Absolutely no clue why Harper is not getting walked with a guy on 3rd and two outs.

Just give him the freebag.

Cronenworth with big dick defense to make that move work.

Plus the shift being allowed for a couple more weeks.

Harper hits it hard but right at somebody with Schwarber on third. Squandered opportunity.

That seems pretty extreme in the first inning.

 

[eaglesnut]

That was a good one

Not at a. Harper is the guy who can truly beat you with a big swing.

Castellanos had a nice last series but hes struggled and the righty/righty match up.

If im SD there is never a point I let Harper beat me.

 

[jvett77]

Harper strikes! 1-0.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Immediately on cue he goes yard hahaha

Obviously you dont walk him with bases empty. But thats why you do with RISP and 1B open.

He's a great hitter but I'm still not walking him every time there's a guy on 2nd or 3rd. Not till later in the game anyway.

With two outs?? Honestly its negligent coaching not to.

It's tougher with a guy like Alvarez cause Bregman and Tucker still follow him. But Harper with a guy on 3rd or Castellanos 1st and 3rd?? No brainer.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Well, that was nice for me.

Bet Schwarber to hit a dong tonight.

Darvish gives up a lot and guy was so fucking due.

 

[jvett77]

Schwarber! 2-0 Phils.
