What was going through your mind when Manny Machado hit that grand slam to put the Padres up 7-3? Visions of 2011? Thinking about the Phillies winning the division? Wondering what was going on with Huscar Ynoa? All of the above?
My first thought was about the pitching match-ups in the series against the Phillies next week. I think most of us know that the three-game series at Truist Park next week is going to decide the division one way or another. I was already just assuming the Braves would head into that series up or down half a game depending on tomorrow, and setting up the pitching.
