Better late than never: slug outburst saves San Diego
It was rough going for a moment there. The San Diego Padres bounced back late for a 10-8 win over the Colorado Rockies Thursday afternoon.

Early season struggles continue; TinCaps have best week
The bad weather continues for much of the minor league system and the records remain poor with the upper-level teams despite multiple standout players at all four levels. Fort Wayne had the best week, breaking even over their six games. El Paso has lots of pitching issues with multiple offensive players doing better than the […]

Yesterday was a tough day for the Friar Faithful. The San Diego Padres broke up a three-game win streak, falling 8-3 to the Colorado Rockies.

The case for Mason Miller to win the NL Cy Young Award
It has been 23 years since a major league closer has won the Cy Young Award. Plenty of today’s top relievers still have their warts — specifically, the occasional blown save that tarnishes their regular season. Thus, making it virtually impossible for them to gain any traction in the Cy Young voting. However, San Diego […]

Sticking to winning ways, San Diego ekes out ahead of Rox
Sometimes one run is all it takes. That was the case for the San Diego Padres yesterday in their win over the Colorado Rockies.

What to expect from Matt Waldron
Right-handed starter Matt Waldron began the 2026 season on the injured list, recovering from surgery that was needed in the spring.

Michael King closer to validating Padres’ envisioned role
The San Diego Padres’ offense met its match in Orange County this weekend. But the challenge did not seem to affect their starting arms.

Padres stay winning, turn to Colorado hoping for offensive spark

Good Morning San Diego: Padres get day off before opening road series against Rockies
One of the San Diego Padres relievers who does not get much attention is also the elder statesman in the group.

Good Morning San Diego: Padres get back to winning ways; Mason Miller closes in on history

Good Morning San Diego: Padres return to win column with strong start from German Marquez, late offense
Fernando Tatis Jr. still does not have a home run on the season and for San Diego Padres fans and the superstar right fielder, that is hard to comprehend. While the power has not shown up for Tatis Jr. after 20 games into the season, he has been an offensive contributor and proved that once […]
