In an effort to preview the 2018 season, The Kept Faith is taking a look at the various methods one can consume Padres baseball without actually going to Petco Park.

David Jay from MadFriars – TKF Pod #123
This week the guys all got back in the same room and talked Padres Farm System with David Jay from MadFriars.com. They discuss Tatis Jr, Urias, who the cool kids will be into later this year, and the timelines of several other notable rising stars in the organization. Then they piggy back on a debate […]
View From Afar
I went to my first Padres game in ’69. Now I know that is a nice year to start a fandom, but it also makes me about as old as @liesurefriar. I was four and my brother was three when our dad took us to see the Padres take on the San Francisco Giants. I […]
The Triumphant Return of the (Now Infamous) Padres Twitter Follow List
The fifth annual edition of my must follow list for Padres Twitter. From the official accounts to the bought-off, corrupted, clique blogs, they’re (almost) all here.
The Lava Lamp 2018: Coaches
Every team needs coaches, and the Padres are no exception. Let’s start with the man calling the shots and work our way down to folks whose jobs we don’t really understand. Manager Andy Green is entering his third year as Padres manager, and while it’s fun to note that former staffers Dave Roberts and A.J. […]
The Lava Lamp 2018: Catchers

There are no secret codes to avoid this. If we don’t move forward, we die. If we remain stuck, nobody around us will want to […]

We’ve added two awesome things to […]
The Lava Lamp 2018: Bullpen
Most Padre watchers likely imagined that the 2018 bullpen would have a very different look from the 2017 bullpen. Both breakout star Brad Hand, as well as pleasant surprise Craig Stammen, looked to be on their way out of San Diego and into more interesting jerseys, either through trade or free agency. Kirby Yates put […]
The Lava Lamp – The Infield
The Lava Lamp is lit. I’m feeling groovy. Dallas ran down the list of the pitchers contending for the starting rotation on Monday and Scott covered the Outfield yesterday. It was epic. Like the best rendition of Your Love I’ve ever seen. It’s time to take a look at the Padres infield. Let’s take a ride […]
The Lava Lamp 2018 – The Outfield
The Volcano of Hot Talent Lava has begun to bubble up to the Earth’s surface and threatens to bury the rest of Major League Baseball in a cloud of ash and soot in 2018. Or something. I’m not a volcanologist and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
