Standard prep for the home opener at Fenway

Petco under the sun is about as good as it gets. 74° with 45,000+ friends and away we go…

Pitching matchup made for Hollywood.

Quite the afternoon in Peoria.

We have a baseball game one month from today!

🤎

Save this forever.

Someone could (should!) write an entire book about this game.

Game 3 of the World Series been one of them Russian novel kinds of games.

Just wildly wonderful playoff baseball. Excruciating in the best way.

26 Padre games this Spring will be played with the ABS challenge system.

Love a good Preller Alarm

FanFest is great for a million reasons, but spending an hour watching Jackson Merrill interact with and sign autographs for kids is about as good as it gets.

With the new shift violation penalty, we get to update the old trivia question about the seven ways for a batter to reach base, right?? Eight is the new seven.

As promised! Some more thoughts on Profar; radio notes, Ueck, and the first edition of Padres Connections! open.substack.com/pub/jesseagl...

The 2024 Pads had an almost laughable number of incredible moments and Jurickson Profar was in the middle of nearly all of them. Should get quite an ovation on Opening Day at Petco.

Wow!

I try and generally avoid HoF arguments and discourse but this class is so cool in so many ways and as a fan, what three totally different and totally awesome representations of the game. Congrats to all.

Not only a legendary broadcaster and entertainer and one of the funniest people ever, but hard to argue that he doesn’t have the best play-by-play “coaching tree” in MLB history. Will miss seeing him in Milwaukee but what a crew they have to follow in his footsteps.

Happy 2025! Here are all the 25s in Padres history.

I obviously loved baseball cards as a kid, but never was much for “collecting.” We played games with them, hung them on the wall, that kind of thing. But there was one card I had that I knew deserved special treatment.

Non-paywalled post. Rest in peace Rickey Henderson. The greatest leadoff man of all time. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Icon. 🙏 #RIPRickeyHenderson

No guarantee it happens, of course, but alllllways worth paying attention when something like this is floated from the MLB office. Great job breaking it down by Jayson, as always.

Anyone know where I can get a deal for some online shopping needs?

Jason does an unbelievable job with Roster Resource. One of the most valuable tools out there. If you didn’t know, now ya know.

Bluey watching might be a little out of control in our house. Four-year old said she no longer likes baseball, only cricket.

👎

For the first time since 1997, there will be no MLB games played at juice-named ballparks. End of an era?

Regular season outdoor baseball returning to Florida!

New header photo featuring more Dave. Thanks to Jon Miller and Krukow for having fun with us late last season.

One of my favorite things about being a bit back in the loop is remembering fun out-of-context stuff like “Oh yeah, @mikepetriello.bsky.social is a big Devils fan!” 😂

Let’s give another platform a shot! How many days ‘til pitchers and catchers?
