Also when tomatoes get that size, if you over water, they will start to split.

I may have watered my tomatoes 2 or 3 times this season. I usually let Mother Nature do that, unless we have a real bad dry spell. Mulch helps with the dirt retaining water. But with the drenching rain showers we've been getting, some of my tomatoes still split. Some more severe than others. It almost seems unavoidable. They're still edible, so I don't sweat it too much.

ETA: I use bone meal for calcium. But that is a slower release. If you need a quick release, you could try to find some calcium chloride powder. Powdered milk, antacid tablets, etc. might do some good also.

And yes, ease up on the watering like everyone else has said.
