Blake Snell

Blake Snell punctuated his Cy Young campaign with seven no-hit innings Tuesday against the Rockies. The lefty, who claimed the American League hardware in 2018 with the Rays, punched out 10 Colorado batters. He did allow four walks along the way, ending his evening after 104 pitches. Snell’s performance may have cemented the NL Cy Young. He has not allowed…

One of the very few questions with any intrigue remaining in the San Diego Padres season is whether or not Blake Snell will win his 2nd career Cy Young Award. Las Vegas has him as the betting favorite and on Friday night he didn’t do anything to lose ground to anyone trying to track him down. Facing a Houston...

 Fernando Tatis Jr. stole home in the seventh inning to electrify a sellout crowd at Petco Park and big league ERA leader Blake Snell pitched six strong innings as the San Diego Padres beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 Wednesday night to take two of three from the best team in the AL. Two batters after Trent Grisham homered to give...

It’s two steps forward, one step back for the Padres. After failing to pull off the sweep they need to get rolling against the Tiger and Pirates. Jordan from Cespedes Family BBQ lends his outlook on the team. Why haven’t they been able to hit their stride? The guys decide who gets the bulk of the blame among Preller,...

It was not the first half any of us expected, but the Padres provided reason for hope before shutting it down for a few days. A 5-1 homestand, capped by a decisive win over the Mets. Manny has heated up, Musgrove and Snell are dealing, and suddenly there are fewer teams between the Friars and a Wild Card spot. Derek…

The Padres didn’t have Ha-Seong Kim for Saturday night’s game against the Mets. The previous night, he was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple then, in frustration, kicked something in the tunnel near the San Diego dugout. So, once again the depth of the Friars roster would be tested. This time it worked out in...

Blake Snell helped keep All-Star sluggers Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout in the ballpark, and Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run homer that sent the disappointing San Diego Padres to a 10-3 win against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. Trout exited with a left wrist injury after fouling off a pitch while leading off the eighth inning. He immediately...

Former Padre Greg Garcia rejoins the pod. He talks about the end of his playing days and lets us know what he’s up to.

Entering Saturday’s game at Petco Park, the only MLB team that Blake Snell had not started against was the one he won a Cy Young Award with. The veteran lefty showed Tampa Bay what they’re missing in a fabulous outing. Snell struck out 12 Rays, getting all nine guys in the starting lineup at least once, in a 2-0...

On Sunday afternoon in Denver, Padres lefty Blake Snell, as he usually does as the season progresses, looked like one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball.

Gary Sánchez hit a two-run home run and Blake Snell and three relievers combined on a four-hitter for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Chicago Cubs 5-0 Monday night to salvage a split of a four-game series. Manny Machado had three hits, scored twice and made a sensational play at third base in his fourth game back from a stint...

The Padres had Thursday off at home, a rare treat during the baseball season. Before the game manager Bob Melvin said sometimes it’s helpful for a team that’s scuffling to get away from the game for a bit. That was not the case for this team that is now in danger of having its season spiral irrevocably out of...

Spencer Strider and three relievers combined on a four-hitter and Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies and Sean Murphy each hit an impressive homer for the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, who beat the struggling San Diego Padres 8-1 for their eighth straight win. It’s the longest active winning streak in baseball and the second-longest overall after Tampa Bay’s 13 straight wins to...

A 4-3 road trip through Atlanta and New York is one heck of an accomplishment that any team will take. But, there’s a feeling that it could (perhaps even should) have been even better for the Padres. One of their starting pitchers is, once again, not living up his potential and it’s costing San Diego wins. What is really...
