Has Clevinger's elbow and his postseason sunset in San Diego? As we are waiting on Clevinger’s status for the postseason, we have to start the playoffs without an Ace. The key phrase is without an Ace, not our Ace, as Lamet can fill that roll and is arguably our best pitcher.

We still are awaiting full clarification on when/if Clevinger will come back. We still like the trio of Lamet, Davies & Paddack to kick us off into the playoffs and then hope for the best. We'll tackle those ugly two games with the Angels and discuss the four games ahead with the Giants, while talking about playoff matchups.
