Latest news and updates about the Padres
Ty France smacked a game-tying solo home run in the top of the sixth inning and Jackson Merrill hit what would prove to be a game-winning two-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give the San Diego Padres a 7-5 win over the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. […]
When the Nats and Padres get together, things tend to get interesting. That could be especially true this time as the two teams are as evenly matched as they have been in a long time. Both are over .500, but have gotten there in very different ways. The Nats are powered by an explosive offense, […]

The Nats were unable to pull off the sweep in Cleveland, dropping the game Thursday 3-2, but in 2026 Nationals fashion, they went down swinging, scoring one in the 9th and getting the tying run to second base. The club heads home now after an exciting road trip in which they went 4-2, beating two […]
No team has truly had the San Diego Padres’ number this year. The Philadelphia Phillies certainly did this week, becoming the first team of 2026 to sweep the Friars. Yet again, despite multiple scoring opportunities, the Padres couldn’t capitalize and found themselves unable to back starter Walker Buehler’s gem. And Buehler did pitch a gem. […]
When it was happening, the San Diego Padres and their fans knew the walk-off wins and seventh inning surges would not propel them through the season — but it was fun. The most recent homestand saw the Padres finish with a 3-6 record over nine games at Petco Park and was hardly the result anyone […]
The San Francisco Giants have the second-worst record and the second-worst run differential in the National League. The only thing saving them from total and utter basement-dwelling is the Colorado Rockies. Recently, insider Bob Nightengale reported that the Giants, whom he calls, "the Worst Team Money Can Buy", are trying to unload some of their biggest contracts. That would include the $225M remaining for Rafael Devers, the $161M remaining on Willy Adames's deal, and the $125M left for...
It is hard to imagine, but the 2026 MLB season is heading into June. Clubs will begin evaluating their rosters and identifying their weaknesses. Then, decide which players from other teams to target at the trade deadline. Of course, the media has the Padres linked to several players in trade rumors. Let’s break down why […]
Well, he did it again. Cristopher Sánchez blanked another team, this time the San Diego Padres, for seven innings on Wednesday at Petco Park. He allowed six hits, no walks and struck out nine in the Phils’ 3-0, series-sweeping victory. It was the fifth straight start in which he did not allow a run, a […]
The San Diego Padres are coming to town, which means one thing, it is time to re-examine the Juan Soto trade. Back in 2022, Mike Rizzo and AJ Preller swung arguably the biggest trade of the 21st century. With the Nats in full rebuild mode, and in need of help on the farm, they traded […]
The San Diego Padres came into the final game of the three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies hoping that Walker Buehler would hold the Philly offense down enough that San Diego could score a couple of runs and avoid the sweep. Buehler did his part, but the Padres offense failed to provide any run support. […]
The San Diego Padres completed their longest homestand of the season by being swept. The Philadelphia Phillies, who had been in a slump of their own, got well against the Padres. There were no blowouts; the Phillies never scored more than four runs in any of the three games. It’s just that the Padres scored […]
It may have looked like an innocent groundball to second base to end an inning, but the 79.5 MPH easy roller off of the bat of Jackson Merrill that was gloved by Bryson Stott and thrown to Bryce Harper at first will prove to be historic. That’s because it was with that scoreless fourth inning, […]

Here are the lineups for the series finale in San Diego. Let’s discuss! For the Phillies: For the Padres:
It was another rough game for the San Diego Padres. After dropping three straight, the Padres have lost the series to the Philadelphia Phillies and will attempt to stave off the sweep in this afternoon’s finale. Starter Randy Vásquez did not live up to his recent level of play, giving up four runs in just […]
With the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) set to expire in December, MLB and the player’s union have begun initial labor talks. The last labor talks were five years ago, when players were locked out through mid-March, pushing the start of the season back a week, but avoiding the loss of any games. This negotiation […]
Okay, this isn’t even a “daily question” in the sense of “a question that fosters discussion.” I’m going to tell you the answer, eventually. Last night, Michael Harris II went 4-for-4 with a homer and a double. That’s a pretty great batting line, but given that we saw a game last year where he went […]
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Randy Vasquez allowed solo home runs in the first, second and third inning. All three came with two outs in the inning. The Padres found themselves trailing 4-0 after three innings and would have been down by another run in the fourth inning if not for a home run robbery […]
Late Nite with Nola is the hottest show on television. It’s got celebrity guests. It’s got a good opening monologue. It’s got fun interviews about Bryce Harper’s toothbrushing preferences. One thing it doesn’t have a lot of is runs for his opponent. The night started with Kyle Schwarber getting most of a cutter, but not […]

The San Diego Padres dropped Game 1 to the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday in horrible fashion. In what has become all too common, the Friars failed to score a single run despite multiple pristine opportunities to do so. The Padres loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning before striking out twice and […]
After a 2-4 homestand against the Ohio teams, the Don Mattingly honeymoon officially ended as the Phillies traveled out west for their next six games against two of the better teams in the National League. The Padres, like the Phillies, possess an anemic offense that has been carried by plenty of front line pitching. The […]
It has become all too common that the San Diego Padres have seen a starter throw at least five or six innings and allow three runs or fewer and it results in a loss. Coming into the season that would have been the dream scenario for a Padres rotation that is missing Yu Darvish, Joe […]
