I hope we get to win at home this time around! Right now, they only care about getting to hug their Papito, and for my youngest, just being able to run on the field.ĬM: What is your prediction for the series? JM: Being so young, Aiden and Anaiah don’t understand much about cameras. She loves watching her Daddy play and going on the field. She gets a little overwhelmed with the excitement and cheering at the games sometimes, but I think she’s starting to get used to it. KM: I’m not sure Ava understands all of that just yet. KP: They’re so little they don’t know what’s going on, but it’s been much more exciting to share these special moments with our babies. 5.ĬM: How do you prepare your kids for all the cameras and excitement after postseason games? JM: If we have time, we will squeeze brunch at Tiny’s No. I try to let him sleep in as much as possible, then we grab coffee or lunch and spend time with our daughter before he leaves for the field. Lately, we’ve been taking our bikes out to eat with all the nice weather we’ve been having. Being calm and relaxed for an important day is not a good sign for me.ĬM: Do you do anything special with your husband before a game? JM: I definitely do – I feel sick, I shake and I want to scream to let it out. I always want the best for him and want him to play well because I know that’s what he wants and what he works so hard for. This being our seventh postseason experience, I do think watching him pitch in bigger games has gotten a bit easier each time. KM: Yes! I’m not sure that will ever change. However, I have all the confidence in the world in Ryan and everyone on this team. KP: Not so much during the regular season, but a close game in the postseason can be a little nerve-wracking. We try to rest as much as we can during off days. Three of us in the family don’t think about anything related to baseball until game day. JM: I’m always anticipating an event (part of being a catcher’s wife). Let’s just say baseball wives wear a lot of hats during this time of year. KM: It’s a super chaotic time, so I try to do my best to balance everything and handle the smaller stressful things like tickets and packing. This is our fifth postseason with the Astros, and I’ve learned to just take it one day at a time and enjoy the ride.

KP: When we first got traded here in 2018, I got overly excited for the postseason and was beyond exhausted by the time it was over. How do you keep everything calm and in control for your family? JM: I’m so used to watching games with a crowd around me that now silence feels awkward.ĬM: There is so much excitement around the World Series. KM: During the regular season, I prefer watching alone, but during the postseason, I love watching with other people and being at the stadium with family and friends. Probably once a week, I have my parents over or watch with a few friends, and I love that also. KP: I don’t mind watching the game alone because I love listening to the commentary. JM: It’s always a party in our living room.ĬM: Do you prefer silence and watching alone, or do you like having a watch party with other people? She loves to watch the games, and we always try to attend if Lance is pitching at home. Sometimes, she and I watch on the sofa together before heading to bed. Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.KM: The Astros games usually overlap my daughter’s bedtime routine, so I often try to get her ready for bed while simultaneously watching the games. He (Profar) may play a little first base too, pinch hitting. "The tough part is with Manny, it's tough to get a DH in there. "A little left (field) if I can DH Juan," Padres manager Bob Melvin said. Profar has experience in the infield, but opportunities might be limited. His primary position, left field, is occupied by Juan Soto, and Manny Machado made his 21st start as the designated hitter Friday. How the Padres utilize Profar down the stretch remains to be seen.

Profar spent three seasons (2020-22) with San Diego before signing as a free agent with the Colorado Rockies last offseason.

The Padres selected the contract of utilityman Jurickson Profar on Friday, eight days after he signed a minor league contract with his former club. He allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts over five innings in a 4-1 loss to the Astros with the New York Mets on Sept. Lugo is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA in one career start against Houston.
