Padres promote Alek Jacob; Matt Waldron to IL

The San Diego Padres made a roster move on Friday before their first game in the three-game series versus the Seattle Mariners. RHP Alek Jacob was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to join a bullpen that was depleted by the short start (1.2 innings pitched) of starter Griffin Canning on Thursday. Starter/reliever Matt Waldron has […]

Mariners News: Gabe Speier, Matt Brash, and Victor Robles

Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners opened up the weekend with a sleepy 2-0 loss to the Padres last night, though it was great to see Emerson Hancock continue his strong start to the season. Speaking of, we finally got a resolution to the six-man rotation situation yesterday: Do you endorse this decision […]

Mariners fall behind, get chased down by Mason Miller in 2-0 loss

The Mariners waited too long, and Mason Miller eventually caught up with them. The Padres shutout the Mariners 2-0 in Friday’s series opener in Seattle. The win gives them the second ever Vedder Cup, tying the all-time series at one apiece. Emerson Hancock pitched well, working around a bit of hard contact to get through […]

Mariners Game #46 Preview and Discussion: 5/15/26, SEA vs SD

Let’s run it back. Leg two of the Vedder Cup begins Friday in Seattle. The Mariners got swept in the first set in San Diego, so they’ll need to sweep at home in order to have a chance in the tie breaker, which is run differential (Padres lead 16-9) then average exit velocity in the […]

How the Padres’ lineup handled the season’s first stress test

Nine days ago, the San Diego Padres placed their starting second baseman, Jake Cronenworth, on the seven-day injured list. The bats have gone cold against quality starting pitching, and the loss of Cronenworth has completely paralyzed the Padres’ offense. It has left a noticeable void at the bottom of the order. It is still unclear […]

San Diego drops rubber match for first road series loss of the season

It was rough going from the first inning. The San Diego Padres had newcomer Griffin Canning on the mound, who had (mostly) impressed in his first two starts of the year. He did not impress this time around. Canning issued four walks over just 1 2/3 innings of work, surrendering six runs to the Milwaukee […]

Series Preview: Mariners (22-23) vs. Padres (25-18)

We’ve entered into a bizarro world where a series against the Astros can be viewed as a “get right” series for the Mariners. Back in April, the four-game sweep of Houston pushed Seattle to a game under .500 and 1.5 games back in the AL West. This latest series win in Houston pushed Seattle to […]

Freddy Fermin needs to be better

The San Diego Padres have had 23 catchers since 2016 (thanks to Clark Fahrenthold on The Brown and Gold Standard podcast). Austin Hedges (2015-2019) was supposed to be the organization’s stalwart for years to come; that didn’t work out. Since then, the front office has put all its eggs in the Luis Campusano basket. That […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 5/15-5/21

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers finally look a bit like what we’re used to, as they went on a five-game winning streak earlier this week before a heartbreaking loss to the Padres on Wednesday night. They’re now headed to Minnesota and Chicago, where they’ll take on their top interleague rival in the Twins […]

Harrison dominates again as Brewers coast to series win

Box Score Milwaukee jumped all over San Diego starter Griffin Canning early, scoring three runs in each of the first two innings, and Kyle Harrison turned in another gem to deliver a 7-1 victory. After taking two of three from the Padres, the Brewers have now won six of their last seven games. Canning started […]

Game Thread #41: Milwaukee Brewers (23-17) vs. San Diego Padres (25-17)

Milwaukee squandered a masterpiece from Jacob Misiorowski last night, allowing the Padres to come back and eke out a ninth-inning win. Both teams have now each won one game heading into today’s rubber match, which pits Kyle Harrison against right-hander Griffin Canning. Milwaukee has embraced a youth movement within its rotation, but Harrison (2.41 ERA, […]

Down to their final out, San Diego forces rubber match

It was a pitcher’s duel until the end. In what has become a regular occurrence for the San Diego Padres, they won it on Gavin Sheets’ two-out, three-run homer. It was a great way to make up for the fact that the Friars hadn’t done a thing to back up starter Michael King’s gem. The […]

Game Thread #40: Milwaukee Brewers (23-16) vs. San Diego Padres (24-17)

Fresh off a 6-4 series opening win on Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are back at it with both teams’ respective aces on the mound. The Brewers will have Jacob Misiorowski starting tonight. He’s coming off an electric start against the Yankees where he struck out 11 and threw the most […]

Padres bats make noise, but not enough to make up for Waldron’s blunder

Usually when the San Diego Padres score four runs, they can eke out a win with their strong pitching staff. Tuesday night, that was not the case. The Friars jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning. Unfortunately, that lead was immediately lost with starter Matt Waldron surrendering five runs […]

The Padres’ lineup has been an ongoing experiment for Craig Stammen

For the last seven games, San Diego Padres Jackson Merrill has been in the lineup’s leadoff spot. He became the team’s fifth leadoff hitter in the Padres’ first 41 games of the 2026 season. Friars manager Craig Stammen treats the batting order as an ongoing experiment. He determines who will hit where in the lineup […]

Padres offense continues to struggle; first in NL West

Baseball fans for all teams tend to get tunnel vision during the season. We focus so much on the good and bad with our own team that we forget that many other fan bases are experiencing the same ups and downs. With a 24-16 record and an offense that ranks in the bottom five in […]
