2012 MLB First Year Player Draft:Who's the first?

The best-rated outfielder among the top draft picks appears to be Albert Almora. A prep senior out of Florida, there is a brisk discussion taking place among the draft sites regarding whether Almora or Carlos Correa (the prep shortstop out of Puerto Rico) will be the first prep bat to go after high pick Byron Buxton. There are pluses for both and I am hoping that if one of them is...

Daily Friar 6.2.12

Two pieces of business we need to address. First off, we won! After a dismal road trip, the Padres returned home to put a hurtin' on the Diamondbacks. We were actually able to put a crooked number on the board late in the game. That's something we haven't done all too often. The other piece is Johan Santana. Remember how nasty he was when we faced him last week? Yeah...

These Aren't The Pads You're Looking For

They say in the baseball business, you need a short memory. Whether you just walked a batter after getting squeezed on a called strike three or have just grounded into your second consecutive double-play, you need to clear your mind and focus on the task ahead. This holds true for a Padres fan, especially after a 1-9 road trip to end what is usually their most successful month...

Daily Friar 6.1.12

After a day off, the Padres are back in San Diego. They will start a series with the Diamondbacks that will run through Sunday. Kind of fitting that the first game of this series is the night of the beer fest. I say that because after the way this game is playing I think a lot of fans need a drink or two. Tonight is also a Friarhood event, so I hope that most of you can make it out...

The switch hitting catcher aquired this off season in the Mat Latos trade appears to be headed to San Diego to join the big league team.

Daily Friar 5.31.12

I have one word to say about yesterday's game and that is: wow. We actually had a lead going into the 9th inning and we blew it. I am currently in Las Vegas on vacation for this week, and every casino I went in to I went straight to the sports betting because the Padres game was always on. Kind of sad to me that half of San Diego can't watch the games on TV, but Las Vegas...

Padres' Blown Leads Result In Series Sweep at Wrigley

The Padres came into the series having not scored in almost three whole games while facing a team that had lost 12 in a row. With both teams floundering at the bottom of their divisions somebody would have to come out on top. Unfortunately it was Chicago as the Padres lost leads in all three games, losing their third consecutive series and finishing their 10 game road trip with a...

Daily Friar 5.30.12

Apparently the Padres don't want to win a game on this road trip. I take that back, they did win one game on this road trip but are refusing to win anymore. After losing to the Cubs twice so far, the Padres are now the worst team in the National League. It was an honor bestowed on the Cubs, but now the Padres have taken the crown. I don't know what to root for at this point...

Daily Friar 5.29.12

It's crazy really the trend that the Padres are on right now. If the pitching is phenomenal and only gives up two runs, the offense gets shut out. But if the offense is on fire for the one day a week, then the pitching falters and gives up a ton of runs. Such was the case yesterday. The Padres exploded for runs, much like the first game in New York. But unlike the first game...

Who's the Padres All-Star?

Each club is supposed to be represented in the All-Star game and sometimes that can result in some dicey decisions having to be made. That likely will be the case when choosing the Padres representative. Here’s a quick look at whom I feel has the best chance to make it to this year’s All-Star contest. Alonso: With Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols currently toiling in the AL...

Daily Friar 5.28.12

Happy Memorial Day to all the vets and active duty members out there. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and I hope that we alll take the time to remember the sacrifices that were made for us. The Padres offense is disgustingly horrible. It’s downright pathetic right now. I don’t know who you want to put the blame on, but something isn’t right. The team finished up the series...

Does injury make it more likely Quentin stays in SD?

Headline: The Padres offense is struggling. Shocking, isn’t it? Three games, all losses, one run scored and a combined 11 base hits to close out their four game set against the Mets. Overall the offense ranks 29th in runs scored, 28th in BA, 27th in OBP, 30th in Slugging % and 29th in OPS. They’ve hit the fewest HR in baseball by far. Their 18 is 12 fewer than the next lowest...

Padres Offensive Goes Missing After Game One Outburst.

After their highest run outburst of the 2012 season, the Padres offense went in the tank, scoring only one run in the final three games. The loss was the Padres sixth in their first seven on this 10-game road trip. They will head to Chicago to face the floundering Cubs for a three-game series at Wrigley Field. Below is a recap of the Padres disappointing series against the Mets at...

The Padres amaze me in how they play ball. They can go out and beat a phenom pitcher, but then can make a normal pitcher look like Cy Young. Now alright, Johan Santana isn't a normal pitcher. When he is healthy and is on his game he is great. However, the guy has been inconsistent for the past few years because of injuries. But yesterday he pitched a complete game shut out. This...

Daily Friar 5.26.12

I knew this was going to happen, the Padres couldn't score last night. After putting 11 runs on the board Thursday night, they were only able to put up one measley run last night. The guy we faced last night, Dillon Gee, has a 4.92 ERA. This means that in 9 innings we should be getting close to 5 runs off of him. Instead we got 1. So what does this tell me? It's not Petco...

It's Raining Runs, Hallelujah!!!

Wow, wasn’t that exciting? That third inning last night was fantastical and stupendipidous. It was a marriage of the awesome and fabulous. Like a rainbow of good feelings dipped in happy with big smile sprinkles. Seeing the Padres come out of the clubhouse swinging after an hour and eight minute delay was a sight we hadn’t seen in some time. It was like we were watching the...

Every now and then the Padres can surprise everyone. After getting swept by the Cardinals, they are now in New York taking on the Mets. The rain came in and the Padres decided that when it rains, it pours. After the rain delay the hits just started coming. It was almost as if they were baptised by the hitting gods and decided to hit when it mattered. They did a great job racking...

Daily Friar 5.24.12

The problem with the Padres playing on the East Coast is the early start times. Usually I'm out doing something around 4 or even earlier, and I often miss most of the games. This last series with St. Louis was no exception. But after reading all the recaps for all the games I realized that I really didn't miss a whole lot. I did see most of the first game, which was the best...

San Diego Swept Away In St. Louis.

The Padres began their marathon 10 game road trip in lousy fashion, losing three straight to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. After beating the Angels in an extra-inning thriller, the Padres lost a heartbreaker to the Cardinals in their first game on Monday night. They then were shutout on Tuesday before giving up a three run lead before their second at-bats in the finale on Wednesday...
