It has been fifteen years since the Padres were in the lead this late in the season! They defeated Bob Melvin’s former team to take the lead in the NL West. Now, this weekend at Dodger Stadium, first place will really be on the line. Mike Shildt’s team is sporting that second-half appearance once more. Everyone in the lineup is causing damage, and the pitching has been excellent. Derek and Darnay assess how the division rivals have changed from their appearance earlier in the season as they prepare for this series. Will Dave Roberts attempt to incite controversy once more? Do we think any Padres will stand out? When San Diego was last in first place, can Derek guess the lineup from 2010? Additionally, one scheduled starter received terrible news on Thursday.
