Padres Twitter is the highest form of social interaction ever created. It’s apparent, however, that save a few golden moments, the Padres players don’t interact on Twitter that much. It’s probably because they’re studying tape and working out so much they simply don’t have the time to smash that blue bird on their phone. It […]
It’s that time of year when the world falls in love – Baseball season and my annual MLB Predictions! Now, as per usual I have crunched numbers no one has even thought of, I’ve made phone calls to girlfriends, boyfriends, wives, bookies and priests. I have more inside information into Jean Segura than one man […]
The day after the Padres Opening Day 2008 I published the first post on thekeptfaith.blogspot.com. No, I wasn’t in my mom’s basement. I was 27 years old and was using my future wife’s better computer at her apartment in University Heights. Once posted, I sent the link to the new blog to about thirty people […]
This week TKF hosted the first ever Golden Age of Padres Podcasts Opening Day Afterparty at Bay City Brewing and it was a great night! On this episode the guys are joined by John Gennaro from MTPGA who tells some amazing Lil Silz stories, and drops some info on the state of local radio. Also […]
You know the names: Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Urias, MacKenzie Gore, Michel Baez, Joey Lucchesi, Adrian Morejon, Cal Quantrill, Eric Lauer, Anderson Espinoza. They’re the top prospects in a much-ballyhooed Padres farm system, and, by now, their names roll off the tongue like members of your extended family. But away from the bright lights of […]

Baseball has a troubling practice. Basically, minor league players are paid far less than what would amount to a decent wage. The average minor league baseball player makes between 1,100 and 2,150 a month or about $1,625 per month on avg. That’s not a lot of money, I know, I’ve lived on less. The avg yearly (for 2016) wage […]
We spend a lot of time talking about what San Diego isn’t as a sports city. People aren’t extreme enough in their fandom here for others to notice, so it’s often assumed it needs to be shaped. For those in the business of selling sports in this community, a common move seems to be looking […]
This week the guys welcomed back Abby Hamblin from the San Diego Union Tribune! They broke down their semi-broken brackets, and talked about the state of college basketball in the One and Done Era. Then Dallas called in and they talked about 97.3 The Machine’s content that has become a troubling topic for many people […]
