Game 130 Thread: August 23 @ Padres, 5.40p

Glasnow vs. Cortes.

Let's start with the worst-case scenario for today's game: Nestor Cortes gets his sweet revenge on Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers by pitching an excellent game tonight, shutting the Dodgers down and ushering the Padres back into sole possession of first place.

It's entirely plausible, especially with the always-fragile Tyler Glasnow on the mound as our starter, not to mention a high likelihood we will continue to trot Michael "Black Hole" Conforto out there hoping for a different outcome despite four and a half months of evidence to the contrary.

My god.
