San Diego Sports
This week the guys talk about the totally overwhelming mind melting 2018 Winter Meetings that the Padres had in Orlando. Ohtani chose the Angels, while Chase Headley and Freddy Galvis are coming to San Diego. Are the Padres done? It’s hard to tell with Eric Hosmer’s situation still up in there. Then Nick and Travis […]
Hall of Fame voting is moronic. It’s a flawed system that gives a select group of writers the majority of control over a player’s legacy. Writers who could have at one time had a contentious relationship with a great player, or just didn’t like the “way” those players played the game, or writers who just […]
This week the guys dig into SDSU’s potential expansion to Mission Valley with VOSD’s Andy Keatts. They talk about the 2018 race coming up between the university’s idea and SoccerCitySD’s plan that has already made it on the ballot. Then they call Dustin Palmateer (@SacBuntDustin) and dive into Ohtani Mania! Will this international phenomenon roll […]
This week Travis and Nick went up to Temecula to record with Dallas and his dad during Ohio State vs Michigan. It was a blast! Dallas’ dad told stories of going to Jack Murphy Stadium back in the 60s and the Buckeyes won! Also, thanks for all the support with our new Patreon. It means […]

It’s time to take The Kept Faith to the next level, and we need your support… Since 2007 Nick and I have been writing about San Diego sports. Back then the void for an opinion that wasn’t radio or the U-T was unfathomably large. Our writing was pretty bad, and all over the place, and […]
This week the guys sit down with Eric and Dan from The 5.5 Podcast. They talk about the Eric Hosmer discussion that is apparently happening in the Padres front office. After unpacking the problems with making a move like that, they take a closer look at executive chairman Ron Fowler and the influence he brings […]
Fandom is a funny thing. I grew up in Virginia long before baseball returned to the Nation’s Capital. Friends who were baseball fans followed the Baltimore Orioles. This was back when Earl Weaver prowled the dugout and Jim Palmer was on the mound. I remember Palmer appearing in an underwear ad. This probably isn’t the […]
During the ALCS and NLCS Nicholas Burmeister (AKA @PadresHaiku) and I wrote back and forth between games. We did the same for this amazing World Series that took place between the Astros and Dodgers. It was a lot of fun and, like it often does, brought up feelings about our own San Diego Padres. Enjoy! […]
This week the guys got together at Nick’s house to watch Game 4 of the World Series. With a few friends, they talked about all the action that’s happened so far, the Adrian Gonzalez decision to leave the team (kind of), and what the Astros represent to the Padres fanbase. The Dodgers won and we […]
