@DianteLeeFB Bewildering go for it by Marty in first half.

The strangest season yet for both Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. continued Sunday in a series-clinching loss to the Mets before another sellout crowd in the East Village.

Stadium staff completely overwhelmed with large crowd to see Colombia vs Jordan World Cup tune-up at Snapdragon. This is the line to get in ... 5 minutes before kickoff.

Padres lost today, 7-3, before another sellout crowd, dropping the series to the Mets. It wasn't a performance to savor by the home team.

@carterivan68 @SleeperColts @ScottDochterman Great one! Sanders was a game-changer. Can't name just one. Wayne Simpson. Ki-Jana Carter. Bobby Valentine, Lyman Bostock (not an injury, but very much derailed).

Manny Machado made the baseball card argument today. Wise choice. Career track records argue for notable improvement from Machado and a few other Padres hitters. Unfortunately, other variables don’t look promising for this team.

Padres OF Ramon Laureano had hip surgery and won’t return until late in the season if then. Source: Craig Stammen.

@NFLosophy Joe > better athleticism than Kirk, although the poor OLs may have eroded much of that advantage.

We’re in June, and Arraez has more doubles than Tatis and Merrill combined. Baseball’s gonna baseball.

Under John Moores, Padres drew 3M in first season at Petco Park and came close to 3M a year later. While the team’s current era of fan support is spectacular and far exceeds franchise norms, there were other bright “enthusiasm” chapters in SD including in October ‘84 & ‘98.

By winning another close game over the Padres today, the Phillies completed their second three-game sweep of them within two weeks and moved past them in the wild-card.

Bogaerts has become the latest key Padres hitter to fall into a slump.

My favorite outcome to the Rams & Browns trade is that Myles Garrett has his first decent chance to reach the Super Bowl. After playing with 17 different starting QBs in Cleveland, he now joins Matthew Stafford in L.A.

Arraez, per FanGraphs, has more win shares than Tatis Jr., Machado and Merrill combined. Baseball is gonna baseball.

Nick Castellanos created one big moment for the Padres that won't soon be forgotten, hitting a two-run, two-out, two-strike homer to tie the Cardinals in the ninth inning, a game the Padres won in the 10th on a SF by Castellanos' longtime friend Manny Machado.

Best to Nick.

John Kruk, ex-Padre, says he's a believer in Jackson Merrill and, related, Tony Gwynn's plain-spoken wisdom, which Kruk said facilitated his own impressive career with the Padres and Phillies.
