A couple of weeks ago we didn’t even think he’d make the Opening Day Roster. Now we’re saying “thank god we’ve got Connelly Early going today.” Behind Early, Alex Cora is rolling out the same starting nine batting the same order as yesterday. If ain’t broke, yadda, yadda. In the other dugout, it’s a day-off […]
With another difficult loss for the San Diego Padres, the Friars are in last place in the National League West with a 2-5 record. While the offense has been troubling, the real story of the day (and the last week) has been skipper Craig Stammen’s managing of the relief group. His decision of who to […]
The San Diego Padres have developed a disturbing trend after the first seven games of the 2026 season. In each of their five losses, the Padres have scored three runs or less. The three runs in a loss happened once. The other four losses were by two runs, which included the series opener against the […]
The 2-4 record at the end of the first week of the 2026 season reflected less than good execution on multiple levels for the San Diego Padres. The starters had one excellent performance from Randy Vasquez (six innings pitched, no runs and eight strikeouts) and an acceptable one from Michael King but Nick Pivetta, Walker […]
I personally wasn’t in Boston, but looking at it on TV, that was quintessential Red Sox Opening Day weather, eh? 50s and sunny, the white uniforms back on and a city wanting to kick this team in the backside. Well, they thankfully didn’t make this one too stressful on any of us as they rolled […]

The San Diego Padres needed a win like Wednesday afternoon’s. As the Padres bludgeoned the San Francisco Giants, 7-1, to salvage the series finale, they finally put together an offense that matched what it looks like on paper. The club (after only recording nine extra-base hits going into Wednesday’s contest) had five XBH, including four […]
San Diego Padres Craig Stammen began his managerial tenure, winning only twice during the opening six-game homestand. For all the Spring Training talk, Stammen and company had very little to celebrate in the first week of the 2026 season. Offensive woes continue in 2026 No question, the offensive production is a bit slow out of […]
The San Diego Padres limped to a 2-4 record to start the 2026 season with two three-game sets against the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants. San Diego dropped the first two games in each series and needed to win the third game in order to salvage the series. The Friar Faithful did what they […]
We made it to Opening Day. It was hard to get here, literally. A 1-5 record before setting foot in front of the Green Monster is not what Red Sox Nation waited all winter to see. Already the winnable games in Cincinnati look like missed opportunities compared to the series in Houston. But now the […]
After Wednesday’s loss to the San Diego Padres, it seemed all but certain that the San Francisco Giants would place right-handed reliever José Buttó on the Injured List at some point today. And indeed, on Thursday afternoon, a few hours before starting a series against the New York Mets, the Giants announced that Buttó was […]
For the second time this season, the San Diego Padres needed to win the third game of a series to avoid a sweep. The Padres did just that with a 7-1 win over the San Francisco Giants at Petco Park on Wednesday. Opening Day starter Nick Pivetta bounced back with a critical performance that resulted […]
El Paso Chihuahuas The El Paso Chihuahuas started their season the day after the San Diego Padres and have played four games, three against the Sacramento Salt River Cats and a first of six against the Tacoma Rainiers. They sit at 2-2 on the season with a win against each team. Starter and rehabbing pitcher, […]
The San Francisco Giants conclude their series against the San Diego Padres this afternoon from Petco Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Adrian Houser, making his Giants debut.

Last night was hard to watch. Not only because the San Francisco Giants slugged their way to a, 9-3, win against the San Diego Padres. Not only because Nick Castellanos was tough to watch in left field. The Friars lost this game in a way they haven’t lost since Opening Day: their pitching. In what […]
For all the talk of Dombrowski running the team back, there are a few significant players and faces who made up the 2022-25 run, now gone. Ranger Suárez signed a five-year deal with Boston, Nick Castellanos is trying to prove himself in San Diego, and Matt Strahm returned to the city that started his career […]
Though the San Diego Padres have struggled thus far in the 2026 season, they have one thing most MLB teams do not: an elite all-around outfield. The group is headlined by superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. in right field alongside 2024 NL Rookie of the Year runner-up Jackson Merrill in center. Ramón Laureano (who’s off to […]
The San Diego Padres entered the 2026 season knowing the back of their starting rotation was not going to intimidate even the worst of lineups and the San Francisco Giants have proven that taking the first two games of their series at Petco Park by combined scores of 12-5. The Giants entered the series with […]
Another rough start for a starting pitcher resulted in another loss for the San Diego Padres. German Marquez started the second game of the series against the San Francisco Giants and struggled to get through three innings. Marquez allowed four runs on eight hits with one walk and one strikeout, as the Padres dropped their […]

With momentum from Saturday’s win against the Detroit Tigers, the San Diego Padres felt poised to take the series opener against the division rival San Francisco Giants. Sadly, it was not to be. After getting shutout for eight full innings by a combination of starter Landen Roupp (6.0 IP), Matt Gage (1.0 IP) and Keaton […]
Every Major League Baseball team begins Spring Training with one goal in mind: to win a World Series title. The San Diego Padres are chasing the same goal, as their desire to win has never wavered.
