This Proves The Padres are LEGIT...

So Michael King, let's start with game one.

Wow [laughs].

We already talked about it in the game one, uh, recap, but oh my God, Michael King, probably the best performance we've seen from him ever.

I made a poll talking about, uh, do we like his game one start against the Braves in 2024 more, or do we like this start? And a lot of people...

Well, most people were like, "Both.

We can like both," and I put that option so it's fine.

But I feel like a lot of people still think the Cubs with the number one offense that they had the entire league, like there's no better offense than them, and we just beat them.

So I know I just said things are gonna get harder from here, and they will, don't get me wrong, but we did beat the best offense, so I do like that, right? And not only did we beat them, we kept them to only one run.

One run the entire series.

One run.

They got shut out the first game.

That is so freaking insane.

Uh, but taking a look at the first game, of course, eight to zero.

Uh, pitching wise, Michael King, 17 whiffs, which was the second most in a game in 2026.

About 98 on the fastball, which is the hardest pitch he's thrown in three plus years.

So eight strikeouts, one hit, threw a no-hitter into the seventh, uh, and Machado could have fielded that, but it still would've been close.

But even then, very impressive.

Three walks, not amazing, three walks.

But no runs.

Who cares? Blake Snell won a Cy Young doing that.

But- Ooh, excuse me.

But yeah, and then after that we had Yuki Matsui with three up, three down, and then Joe Musgrove with his first appearance in nearly two years.

Yeah.

Uh, one of the best days in Padres history.

I, I feel like I can say that.
