Hey followers! I am moving my social media presence to an account on BlueSky. I will not be disabling my account here, but I can no longer support the owner of this platform. If you are interested in my @Padres content you can find me at https://t.co/crnPhgCimG

Just in case you’re wondering I can also be found at https://t.co/kHgP0DyaLq posting @padres news and notes.

@StatsMan2886 @jesseagler @heyscan In the 1998 postseason Leyritz hit 4 home runs - 3 as a first baseman and 1 as a catcher.

In what has been a very challenging @Padres season personally I am so thankful for my tv family and X followers for helping me through my 30th season. See you all in 2025!

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

@lvignapiano I did a quick split for you on Suarez.

1st 32 games:
32 IP, 19 Hits, 29 K, 6 BB, .170 Opp Avg, 0.78 WHIP, 1.13 ERA, 36.1% Hard Hit Rate

32 IP, 33 Hits, 29 K, 9 BB, .264 Opp Avg, 1.31 WHIP, 4.50 ERA, 43.9% Hard Hit Rate

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

It’s been that kind of season!

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

In MLB history, there have been:

over 700 triple plays turned
over 300 no-hitters thrown
over 300 sets of back-to-back-to-back HR
over 100 comeback wins from 8+ runs down

Only one team has done all 4 in the same season.

That team is the 2024 @Padres.

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

For those of you who were hoping @Padres pitcher Jeremiah Estrada would get the immaculate inning (9 pitches, 9 strikes - he didn't) in the top of the 7th, only Brian Lawrence vs BAL June 12, 2002 has that honor in SD history.

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

@lvignapiano Yes the Padres do lead MLB with 125 GIDP this season, 1 more than the Yankees with 124. Manny Machado leads all MLB hitters with 25 GIDP with Josh Bell being next with 22

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

Now that @Padres Jackson Merrill has the SD rookie RBI record with 82, next on the list is most rookie HR:
H. Renfroe 2017 26
N. Colbert 1969 24
J. Gyorko 2013 23
J. Merrill 2024 22
F. Tatis Jr. 2019 22

@aedmondstv Wishing you a wonderful birthday celebration Allison! Don't do anything I have to see on the late night news though!

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

FYI, Merrill is closing in on the @Padres rookie RBI record for a season
Benito Santiago 1987 79
Kevin Kouzmanoff 2007 74
Jackson Merrill 2024. 69

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

Down 5-0 early, the @Padres are chipping away and are down 5-3 currently in the 6th. Should they mount the epic comeback they would tie the 1984 team for most comebacks from 5+ run deficits with 4 wins in SD history

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

@aedmondstv Take note that the graphic says "as catcher" which means that was his position at the time of the HR. Example: W. Smith hit 2 of his 15 HR this season as a DH. The difference between "as" and "by".

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

Congrats Joel!

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

@CoreyBrockMLB @Padres Give him 13 starts of those 25 games including a brisk 1 hour, 31 minutes against Steve Carlton on July 20!

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

Just reflecting on the @Padres game taking 1 hr 59 minutes to play last night. Seemingly rare in these days of lengthy commercial breaks & pitching changes, I go back to 1976 and count 25 Padres games that finished in under 2 hours. Ah, the good ol' days.

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

For Manny Machado that was his 153rd career HR with the @Padres putting him 1 behind Dave Winfield for a tie for 4th all-time in Padres history

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

The @Padres have taken the lead in the 6th inning by virtue of scoring 4 runs. It's the 37th time they have scored 4 or more runs in an inning this season. In 2023 they only accomplished the feat 28 times all season. Source: STATS Inc.

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

That's the 10th no-hitter I have witnessed in my baseball fandom - 2 by the @Padres, 7 by opponents, and one that I was in the stands (Kevin Gross, LAD vs SF) and it's still a thrill to witness!

[Bob Wehrsdorfer 🇺🇸 @ChyronBob]

This is the 2nd time in @Padres history they have allowed three or fewer hits over a two game span
Other time: July 29-30, 1984
