According to legend, long ago the Padres acquired a pitcher by the name of Chris Paddack, for a man who shot arrows into space. He required elbow surgery but Preller, ever the magnanimous ruler, decided to take the high road and not reverse the trade or complain about it like a lesser, pettier rival would. […]
During last year’s World Series I wrote about Adrian Gonzalez’s bizarre self-exclusion from his team’s festivities. His odd reasoning, the team’s lack of issue towards his decision, and fans from all over either ignoring him all together or being unbelievably upset. I was in the ignore camp as unlike most beloved ex-Padres Adrian’s departure was […]
Draft is done. I’m sure Preller checked on the quality of this year’s class of draftees before selecting them. No stone is left unturned. Lets take a peek at a few Gram accounts from the this year’s draft class shall we? Ryan Weathers View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ryan Weathers (@ryanweathers25) […]
This week the guys have a fun chat with Sac Bunt Dustin from The Athletic. They talk about bullpen games, the future of Brad Hand, and the possibly new and improved Margot and Renfroe. Then they talk about Ryan Schimpf and what side of the Fly Ball we should be on. There’s also A LOT […]
A couple minor league pitchers threw a combined no-hitter for the San Antonio Missions. Logan Allen is 21 and threw 105 pitches before Jason Jester (Under-rated Baseball name) finished the job in the last two innings. Jason has a private account and has yet to allow me the follow. In the meantime let’s grade Logan’s […]
This week the guys play Padres Mixtape with Music Editor from San Diego City Beat Jeff Terich. They go through 6 walk up songs for different 2018 Padres players (Renfroe, Asuaje, Hedges, Pirela, Hosmer, and Mitchell) and evaluate their musical choices. Then they talk about Blink 182’s San Diego. Support TKF with our new Patreon. […]
A monthly update on this season’s promotions coming to The Diamond, this time for the month of June.
The somewhat recent call up of folk hero Travis Jankowski has netted some positive returns. Even if those returns haven’t equated to consistent wins, it’s still enjoyable to see the speedster at the top of the order. So, what’s the secret to Freddy’s success? Diet? Film study? A blend of punk rock sensibilities and heavy […]
Manuel Margot was the sexy pick to have a break out season. As is Padre tradition, he immediately fell into a long slump. What is the cause of Manny’s troubles? Maybe his IG will shed some light on the situation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manuel Margot (@manuelmargot) When players start […]
This week the guys sat down with the Sports Editor for the SDUT Jay Posner. They talked about the 1998 Padres Celebration last weekend, the significance of John Moore’s legacy, and where the Pads are today. Then they discussed modern local sports coverage and looked at criticism his own paper has received recently on the […]
