2025 Padres Season

Quote from MrPadre19 on April 14, 2025, 1:20 pmNot worried about the Bullpen.....plenty of young options getting close.
I still like the idea of stretching Bryan Hoeing out as a Starter.
Rotation next year:
King/Darvish/Musgrove/Pivetta/Hoeing,Vasquez,Waldron
Plus we may have a couple SP's ready by Opening Day and/or AJ signs one or trades for one next off season.
I would add Kolek into the mix for #5 / #6 ... like his stuff.

I don’t suppose Yu Darvish is good friends with Munetaka Murakami?

Darvish has not convinced any of the big name players coming over from Japan to join the Padres ... so hope they are not friends!
Did see estimates of the type of contract he would get ... and it is BIG ... probably out of the Padres price range.

I heard this on the news:
The Padres have only allowed 11 runs over their first 10 games at home. The only other team that allowed fewer than a dozen runs in their first 9 games at home was back in 1876, the first year of MLB.
The Padres are the second team in MLB history to have 6 shutouts in first 16 games. The last time that happened was in 1966.

Yeah I was being facetious.
Nomo hasn’t helped either….

The Padres are 47-19 in their last 66 regular season games.

That pace (over 71%) is likely unsustainable in the very tough National League West because that would mean about 115 wins over the season. I'd settle for the low to mid 60% range, which still could have the team hit 100 wins. Get to the playoffs - that is the key. GO PADRES!

If the Padres go 73-72 in their remaining 145 games they will end up with 87 wins ... and that should be on the cusp of a playoff slot. Padres should be better than that ... so playoffs are well within reach.

I'd like the record for wins.....even though it's obviously early and anything can still happen.
So what is that.....99 wins?
Didn't we have 98 in '98?

I like the looks of the schedule in May.
Other than 3 against the NYY and 3 against the Braves (we've already shown we can beat),the rest of the month is Pit,Rox,LAA,Sea,Tor,Mia,and Pit again.
June is the opposite so hopefully we stretch the lead before then.
