October 1, 2026 |

The Padres are moving on. San Diego beat Chicago 4-1 to complete a two-game Wild Card sweep, and the way Game 2 unfolded may matter more than the margin. Will breaks down Gavin Sheets' one-swing return, Brooksy explains how a fresh bullpen smothered MLB's highest-scoring regular-season offense, and Rachel looks at 20-year-old Ethan Salas making postseason catching history. Then it's on to Milwaukee, where 103 wins and a very different offensive style are waiting in the NLDS.
