July 16, 20232 yr Padres: C Ethan Salas (No. 2) Not that Salas matters all that much to the 2023 Padres. They aren’t trading him. He’s not going to impact the big league club anytime soon. But holy smokes, this kid is something else. The top international prospect in the most recent class, Salas went directly to the California League -- at 16 years old. He’s holding his own there, too, posting an .881 OPS with reports of solid defense and game management. Padres scouting director Chris Kemp recently called Salas the best young player he’d ever scouted. That statement looks less and less hyperbolic by the day. mlb.com
August 1, 20232 yr 0-10 6-18 Record in extras and one run games Over +60 in run differential but last night the perfect example....started extras with bases loaded and no outs, somehow didn't score, had a key Machado error to allow Rockies to load the bases in the bottom and then a sac fly
August 1, 20232 yr The Padres are the expensive, NL-White Sox. Through Tatis, they are a dyad in the baseball-force.

September 13, 20232 yr In some ways, a win like this -- at this point in the season -- felt a bit cruel. The Padres’ record in late-and-close situations has been re-hashed ad nauseam. They’re 0-11 in extra innings, 6-22 in one-run games and 19-41 in one-or-two-run games. Not only was Monday’s win the largest comeback win of the season, but it marked only the seventh time this year they had overcome a deficit of at least two runs. “At the end of the day, it wasn’t that we didn’t want it to happen earlier in the season,” Soto said. “We’ve just got to follow through it. We’re learning a lot from this year, and we keep grinding. We keep fighting.” Credit the Padres with that much at least. Their season appears destined to end earlier than they’d ever anticipated. Yet, they’re clearly still playing hard, clinging to the notion that -- mathematically -- they’re still alive. And for one night, they looked like the team they always thought they could be. In fact, this game felt like a version of what I think we all expected from the NL West race this season. 68-77 + 64 RS/RA EXP W/L 79-66 AJ Casavell, mlb.com
September 14, 20232 yr Interesting theory is you can have an all star lineup and a team still can't play together,

The one run record is mostly due to the remainder of that pen...and a complete lack of clutch hitting.
September 18, 20232 yr Really fascinating how they missed out to the D'Backs, cubs, Marlins and Reds while they floundered with the Cardinals and Mets. Baseball is a crapshoot and the White Sox have zero aim.
