Braves or Padres it is....

I got a feeling Walker Buehler is going to be an X factor this postseason. As much as he struggled at times this season, it’s all forgotten if you perform in October. It’s a contract year for him so he has every incentive to perform well.

With Sale out of the wildcard, might as well just prep for the Padres.

I know the Dodgers recent October track record is horrible. But holy ****, it seems like all these sports experts and websites are picking the Padres to knock them out in the NLDS.

Last I checked the Padres aren’t necessarily a shining model of October success either. And once they blew their load against the Dodgers in 2022 they folded so fast against the Phillies.

Low key I think everyone expecting them to suffer another early exit is a good thing.

With our track record I can't blame them...but we need to shut them up!

Can’t blame em **kanye shrug**

I think the padres are salivating if they play the dodgers. And I think the dodgers aren’t looking forward to it.

The padres/dbacks beating the dodgers in the playoffs got them feeling like a million bucks.

Dodgers would need to make a statement against them if it gets to that point. You give them a chance and the dodgers could be in trouble

beating the dodgers is their WS

beating the dodgers is their WS

Funny part I was at work today in a Dodgers tshirt and a Padres fan (friend of mine) said the exact same thing.

He said he would be happy if they beat us and that would be thier WS. Anything after that is whatever....which is such a crazy mentality

I totally get it. But at this point MLB and all the sports writers gotta stop pretending like the regular season actually matters beyond being good enough to clinch a playoff spot.

Like the Dodgers recent postseason track record is absolutely horrible. But the Padres also aren’t this unstoppable powerhouse they’re being made out to be either. Like I wouldn’t be shocked if Atlanta beats them in the wild card series.

If anything this feels like the reverse of 2022. That was supposed to be a cakewalk after the Dodgers owned them all season long. October was different. If it does end up being Dodgers Padres, I got Dodgers in 4. The Padres take game 1 and the same old Dodger narratives justifiably start to resurface before they turn it around the rest of the series.
