Friars #NoFilter: Nabil Crismatt
by Padres Haiku
Nabil Crismatt has emerged as one of the stars of the 2022 Padres bullpen. Allow me to Instastalk him so you don’t have to.
Bob Melvin trusts him to hold a lead in a ballgame the way his wife trusts him to hold a baby. I’d let him hold my baby.
Fun fact: Nabil and Alfaro made up the first all Colombian starting battery in MLB history. Sources say they drank a lot of coffee and refrained from speaking of Bruno.
Much like James Bond, Nabil wears a tuxedo when meeting with terrorists.
Nabil helped Columbia win its first Caribbean Series trophy. It’s easily the sexiest trophy in sports.
Hello old friend.
I want to be in a group chat where someone was like, “Hey, tomorrow when we go out, lets wear all white head to toe!” And everyone was like “Hell, yeah!!!”
IF you hate the Idea of the Padres having a motorola patch on their sleeve next year, you’re gonna hate the Colombian baseball league.
Overall a pretty tame IG account from Nabil, no fancy cars, high fashion and sadly no dogs. But there is this gem. Follow our Columbian King @nabilcrismatt

Podcast of the Week
By Nicholas McCann
I really hate watching the Rockies. There isn’t a significant rivalry and I think it’s safe to say that both fanbases feel like they are on the outside looking in to the central fight of the division: SF vs LA.
However, we have to play each other a lot and it feels very useful to understand what’s going on in Rockies World. Last week the Locked On Padres podcast (Javier Reyes) did a joint recording with the Locked On Rockies (Paul Holden) and talked about the state of each other’s team.
Technically Paul was in the driver seat as the host and they shared publishing it on each other’s feeds, but it was a fun listen between two people who have been through a lot as baseball fans and have shared the Bud Black experience.
For 35 minutes they dug into the upcoming series at Petco, Connor Joe’s story, Manny’s MVP case, Mackenzie Gore rookie splash as a dependable starter, and much more.
I’m a big fan of the model the Locked On Podcast Network uses and this is my favorite
