"Angelo Dominic", this is great stuff! You've been busy the past week and I wanted to let you know it is very much appreciated. Nothing better than waking up after a great Padres game to find your excellent writing providing more context to last night's game. Posted at 7:53AM Eastern?, awesome! Now get some rest for today's game...

Thanks for highlighting Profar's play; it was amazing in real time (or on my delayed stream which is how I consume most games) and took me a second to process what happened. Love that Machado fired to second as well; that would have been an amazing double play.

FWIW, mentioned on the broadcast, cannot remember watching a "bloop and a blast" actually happen for the Padres; probably a bunch of times but none I can remember and especially not in a reasonably leverage situation. I almost felt bad for Ober; pitched amazingly well and a modest mistakes erases all his work.

My guess is Profar gets hit by a pitch again today.
