- Players, including Fernando Tatis Jr. Just ran into stands and grabbed family members and brought them to clubhouse.
00:00 - “It’s just time.” Philip Rivers retiring from NFL after 17 seasons.
- Of his run last night to grab children and bring them to safety, Fernando Tatis Jr. said he was protecting family. His actual family is not here. He considers his teammates’ family his. “There were little kids. I felt like somebody needed to go get them.”
- In the midst of confusion & then some fear, my lasting image from tonight will be looking down on the field to see 22-year-old Fernando Tatis Jr. emerging from clubhouse and sprinting down the 3B line to grab his family & pull them to safety. I thought I admired the kid before.
- The Padres will announce today that the Sept. 7 Fernando Tatis Jr. bobblehead giveaway has been changed to a Juan Soto City Connect shirsey giveaway.
- Jake Peavy will throw out the first pitch before Game 4 of the NLDS on Saturday — on the night Joe Musgrove starts for the Padres. Musgrove wears No. 44 in honor of Peavy. On Saturday, Peavy will wear Musgrove’s No. 44 jersey.
- Fernando Tatis Jr. dove at shortstop for an impossible ball in LA last week when the Padres were down seven. That’s who he is.
- The Mariners have voted to not play tonight. Austin Hedges, Tommy Pham and Manny Machado just met with Kyle Seager, Shed Long and Marco Gonzales.
- Padres TV play-by-play man Don Orsillo has agreed to a long-term extension that will likely lead to him remaining with the organization the rest of his career (and keep him fishing from his balcony in Coronado).
- Luis Arraez just walked into the Padres clubhouse.
- A couple hours after Fernando Tatis Jr. took live BP, his locker in the visitors’ clubhouse is empty. He has left to begin his rehab assignment.
- Fernando Tatis Jr. and the Padres have agreed on a 14-year contract.
