This one goes into the “bad loss” column on the Padres’ spreadsheet along with the two defeats in San Francisco a couple weeks ago.

Was trying to put this out of my mind but couldn’t resist looking it up. Nothing as egregious as that strikeout Angel called last week in Texas but overall the usual embarrassment that Manfred & his owners do nothing to fix.

Mark Grant was chuckling audibly at Angel by the third inning. He almost sounds like he’s watching Seinfeld by this point.

There once was a community sports writer at the U-T who turned in a story about a female athlete who had undergone a “double vasectomy.” And there was more where that came from.

But Angel making a strong case to be ranked second.

I could be wrong but I think Angel Hernandez is pretty much guessing at this point.

Hit a home run in your first AB and then bunt in the second AB … makes perfect sense, I guess, to someone, somewhere.

Just not here and now.

⚾️ San Diego Padres 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 14 averaged nearly 2 million viewers (1,961,000), making it the most-watched non-New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox #SNB game in six years, according to Nielsen. It peaked with 2,215,000 viewers.

This never gets old. Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy at their absolute best.

Normally stay away from pre-draft stories but this is really interesting.

Happy Angel Hernandez Day, Padres fans!

Appreciate Buster responding with what was actually going on in Dodger Stadium’s LF pavilion after his interview. Which was the opposite of how it looked with our quick view.

The Padres are flying to Milwaukee tonight. I know that would be in the game notes. And on any schedule.

Four GIDPs, 10 LOB, 2-12 w/RISP … and still Padres have 6-3 lead with 3 outs left. Team-record 14 walks drawn (while issuing just two) certainly helped.

Who says baseball is dying?
