Good Morning San Diego: Manny Machado exits early; Mason Miller proves he is human; Padres take Game 1 against Cubs
The opening game of the three-game set between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs was filled with twists and turns and ups and downs. Some — perhaps not former Padres manager Mike Shildt — would describe it as a rollercoaster. San Diego walked off the field with a 9-7 win over Chicago when […]
Padres win, Mason Miller sees scoreless innings streak come to an end
It was almost shocking to see. The most dominant closer in the MLB allowed a run. In fact, he allowed two runs. San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller worked 34 2/3 innings without allowing a runner to cross the plate. That streak came to an end in the top of the ninth inning against the […]

San Diego finds slug, drops finale in Mexico
It felt like the San Diego Padres’ game all day, in large part, because it was. Michael King twirled six innings of two-run ball, sporting eight strikeouts and only one walk. He exited the game with a 7-2 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was over in a hurry. The Padres’ bullpen (uncharacteristically) gave up […]
Padres Fernando Tatis Jr.’s improved plate discipline meets unlucky results
San Diego Padres Fernando Tatis Jr. is exiting the first month of the 2026 season with a disappointing .250/.333/.290 line, zero HR, 12 RBI, and 0.0 WAR. A very strange start for a player with a career WAR of 27.2. Nevertheless, not an area of concern, but certainly a step back in run production. Tatis […]
Friars reportedly in on top free agent in upcoming class
A recent report from The New York Post’s Jon Heyman suggested that the San Diego Padres might return to their former Seidler-spending ways this offseason, even getting into the bidding war for the services of Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. Skubal has long been sought after by other clubs, and teams like the Los Angeles […]

Bullpen implodes, Padres drop second game of Mexico City Series to Diamondbacks

Padres’ comeback accentuates club’s fiery start to 2026
The San Diego Padres found their slug… albeit in an unlikely place. The Friars came back against the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday after being down four runs at one point. That was due, in large part, to a four-run seventh inning and two Ty France moonshots. San Diego also got some help from some defensive miscues […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres continue late inning heroics, open Mexico City Series with win over D-backs

Padres win sixth straight series; move on to Mexico City

From Monterrey to Mexico City: Fond memories for the Padres in Mexico

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. In what felt like a gruelingly long game, the Friars continued to stay within striking distance but couldn’t seem to get ahead of the Rox. They finally did with three […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres give back to Mexico City, prepare to take on Diamondbacks
The San Diego Padres had a happy flight from Denver to Mexico City after Gavin Sheets hit a three-run home run to cap a five-run ninth inning for the Padres against the Colorado Rockies, which resulted in a 10-8 win. San Diego took those positive vibes to Mexico City where they will play two games […]
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 […]

Padres drop Game 2 as offensive slump starts to show
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. It was, by far, the lowest scoring game at Coors Field ever, with only one run being tallied in the hitter-friendly park. Both starters had it working, but it was Randy […]
