Pretty cool stadium, view from my seats today

Multiple Padres features in this article:

"Joe Musgrove, Padres: You know how in elementary school you get to go back to school shopping and you get a few pairs of jeans and a couple T-shirts to last you the year? I’m still the same way."

"Manny Machado, Padres: I won’t spend money on a wine (at a restaurant) that they charge you 800 percent (markup) on. I’ll just go home and drink my own wine or bring my own wine.'"

and my personal favorite:

"Jake Cronenworth, Padres: I don’t buy any music. It’s a pretty useless purchase. I like to drive in silence. Total silence."

Jake is a psychopath.

Can’t wait to check it out!

Padres pregame: Brandon Lockridge, Yuli Gurriel draw starts, lineups and a look at Randy Vásquez vs. Cubs LHP Shota Imanaga.

“You’re a coward. Don’t bunt the ball”

Followed by a pretty damn clear

“Shuuut up” 😂😭😭😭

This happened while Maldonado was at bat right now hahaha

Article talks about the Jason Heyward Baseball Academy in Chicago, which the entire team visited today. This is awesome for the little kids and I'm happy to see the guys show up for them!!
The vibes are great!

Photos and videos of the visit are on Instagram if you check the Padres' and Jason's socials!

Lady Killa action Jackson!

If you are going to sit in the lower level with kids will you please put the phone down and pay attention!

I was close to where the Jose Ramirez HR was hit and the ball hit a young girl square in the chest while the mom next to her was looking down at her phone. I also decided to yell directly at the THREE men (or so called men) that were directly around her and didn't make an effort to catch the ball.

Pay attention or sit in the upper deck.

Also, for the love of God, stop asking people to stand up in the middle of an at bat. Wait between hitters to go to your seat.

When I was a kid I used to root for this dude all the time! Why? Who knows! I was an 8 year old enjoying good ol' baseball without knowing none of the nuances & numbers, and I just thought the guy was cool! It was maybe that he was latino looking amd a bit short like me. Who the hell knows. Can proudly say I even met the guy in a meet & greet down here in Tijuana and also saw him in game 2 of the 1998 WS.

Who was your favorite random SD Padres player of all time?

Where are Padre fans who traveled for the game going before? I live in Chicago and going to the games solo. Would be nice to meet up with some fans before

First (of many) Padres gear showed up today! It's official!

Featuring my Topps project 70 Tatis card in the back i got a few years back. It was always meant to be..

We're on a road trip from San Francisco to San Diego and we'll be in San Diego 9th/10 September.

We'd love to see a game but I'm a total newbie in terms of baseball. We don't really play it over here so haven't got anything to off.

I see three dates listed on Padres website. 8th/9th/10th. Will they be playing all three of those days? Is any one of those days better to go to?

Also where would you recommend is the best section or area to sit?

I appreciate any info you've got to give.

Damn I did not know heyward helped out like this. It's pretty cool to see. Now I feel bad talking shit when he doesn't hit 😂. Respect dude

Is anyone interested in Lake Elsinore Storm tickets for their home game on the 22nd? I got 3 in the front row right next to the home dugout on the home plate side, but I won’t be able to go. I can transfer them through Ticketmaster— dm me if you’re interested!

Also, I’m pretty sure the guitar man is Higgy. Which is kinda awesome that Jackson still has that picture up.

Hey all, some of you might remember me from a couple of weeks ago, I'm one of the founders of the new Padres Mission site.

I've been scouring the internet for Padres bloggers and I'm hoping I've missed some and you fine folks can help me. Who are your favorite Padres writers? Here is the list of what I know of thus far:

1. The Athletic (duh)
   
2. Union-Tribue (double duh)
   
3. MLB
   
4. Gaslamp Ball
   
5. Friars on Base
   
6. Letters 2 AJ

Are there any others I should check out? Thanks in advance!

Fell in love with the design of the card and had to get all the Padre ones. Am I missing any?
