Happy 250th birthday, America! What better way to celebrate than with the San Diego Padres (hopefully) breaking their losing streak tonight. The Friars had a heartbreaking continuation to their losing streak last night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. After Michael King had dominated for six innings, he was taken out in the seventh inning after […]
How quickly does one get hit in the face with a reality check? Why don’t we ask the San Diego Padres, a team that, when it faced the Dodgers for the first time this season, trailed in the race for the NL West by just half a game? And no, this series didn’t occur so […]
Even AJ Preller can't put off San Diego's reckoning for much longer — and the only path forward might involve trading the face of the franchise.
The San Diego Padres and their fans asked Michael King to take the mound and provide a performance that would allow them to have a chance to get a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers and snap their six-game losing streak. He did that, but an error by Jake Cronenworth followed by a poor pitch […]
Today’s Reflections Yeah. That was fun Wednesday. Really fun. There is a lot of talk about the 23-3 blasting of the Padres below, and plenty of talk about Dansby Swanson hitting out of his mind, so I won’t regurgitate all the names, numbers and legends involved. I was just reflecting on this first half of […]
Though the Los Angeles Dodgers once again came from behind to steal a 4–3 win over the San Diego Padres, it was Shohei Ohtani’s seventh-inning at-bat that had fans holding their breath.

The San Diego Padres are stuck in a funk. They’ve lost six games in a row and own a .500 record for the first time since April 8. It’s been a rough stretch that has only felt worse by the Friars’ inability to step up in big moment. The club went 3-for-9 with RISP last […]
Heading into the season’s second half, we have some bold NL West predictions to make, including some thoughts on Shohei Ohtani and Fernando Tatis Jr.
Continued success raises the bar in a way that leads you to acknowledge Shohei Ohtani is in the middle of his most difficult run of form on the mound this season, when he has still averaged the equivalent of a quality start across his latest three outings—allowing a combined six earned runs in 18.2 innings […]
Anthony Franco Good afternoon, hope all is well! Looking forward to another of these, let’s get it going Joe schlabotnik Gunnar is looking at only2.5-3 WAR this season but he would still bring a hefty return, and the Orioles are going nowhere so they should get rid of him correct? Anthony Franco Henderson still has […]

He is now a free agent and is eligible to sign with any club in the league. Reyes, 32, signed a minor league deal with the Padres in the offseason. He has been performing quite well […]
During his most recent stint with the Cubs, left-hander Jordan Wicks threw pretty well: Four innings of relief, one run allowed, a pair of strikeouts. He also picked up two saves. Wicks threw 40 pitches in Wednesday’s win over the Padres, and so the Cubs optioned him to Triple-A Iowa on the off day Thursday, […]
San Diego found a whole new rock bottom on Friday night, and hope is getting harder and harder to find.
With the playoffs expanded to six teams, it’s not surprising for the final spot to go to a team near .500. Just last year, the Cincinnati Reds won a tiebreaker over the New York Mets to grab the final spot at 83-79. In the good old days (before 2022), the San Diego Padres would have […]
Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing will be behind the plate for Shohei Ohtani tonight.

Miller dominates again Mariners righty Bryce Miller carried […]

The San Diego Padres staked starter Randy Vasquez to a 6-0 lead after the first two innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he quickly allowed four runs and was followed by Wandy Peralta who also allowed four runs as the Padres suffered their sixth consecutive loss with a 12-7 defeat at the hands of […]
Outside of a measly one-run showing on Wednesday in Sacramento, the Dodgers offense has been rolling over their last six games. Against the San Diego Padres on Thursday, they overcame a six-run deficit while tying a season-high with 17 hits in a 12-7 victory, marking the second time over their last three meetings that the […]
Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of overachievers to trade away. Each week of the fantasy baseball season, we look at which star players are sell-high candidates. Last week, we dove into players like Dansby Swanson, CJ Abrams, and Ozzie Albies. For this week, we'll dive into five new sell-high candidates. These five players have […]

The Dodgers tied their season high with 17 hits, and their 12 runs […]
