You asked. We answered.
The Padres just took two of three from the playoff-contending Philadelphia Phillies, so this mailbag is being written in good spirits. In case you care about my spirits, which you probably don’t. So let’s just start.
If Tatis has been shut down, should Paddack also be? - @LorenSethC on Twitter
The short answer to this question is yes. Paddack absolutely should, and will, be shut down before the Padres conclude their season in Phoenix...

Lucchesi goes 6 solid innings in finale
The Padres flew to Philadelphia with devastating news. Rookie of the year candidate and budding superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. would likely be out for the season. A major blow to a team hanging on for dear life in the wild card race. They still showed signs of life.
After splitting the first 2 games, Joey Lucchesi took the bump for the visiting Friars.
A Jean Segura double gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the first....

Kirby Yates collects 34th save
The Padres (57-65) bounced back after a loss last night to capture a 5-3 victory over the Phillies (64-59) in Philly.
Dinelson Lamet threw six innings and surrendered all three runs on six hits, while racking up six strikeouts. The bullpen came in and shut the door for the victory. Matt Strahm pitched the seventh without giving up a hit. Next up was Andres Munuz who struck out a pair. That set things up for Kirby Yates to come...

Maybe more of a medium dive?
By now, Padres fans are likely pretty comfortable with the idea of Cal Quantrill remaining in our rotation in the immediate future. After being selected 8th overall by San Diego in the 2016 draft, the big Canadian posted uneven results across 3 1?2 minor league seasons—which is a nice way of saying that he never posted an ERA south of 3.80 in a given season.
After finally being promoted this May, Quantrill posted a 5.14 ERA...

Life after Tatis, as it turns out, isn’t very fun
The Padres went down without much of a fight Friday night in Philly, losing 8-4 in a game that was never close.
Chris Paddack gave up four earned runs on nine hits in only four-and-two-thirds innings, raising his ERA to a season-high 3.44. He’s sitting at 115 innings now, so it seems reasonable to assume that he could be down to his last few starts of 2019.
Franky Mejía tripled in a run and added a...

One of Major League Baseball’s brightest young stars is seeing the end of his season early. According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune and Padres broadcaster Jesse Agler, Tatis is likely done for the season after suffering a stress reaction in his lower back. While the injury isn’t exceptionally serious, the team sees little point in pushing him too hard with the team likely to miss the playoffs. Tatis electrified the sport this season and set some incredible benchmarks. He...
Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. is expected to miss the remainder of the season, manager Andy Green told reporters, including Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune (Twitter link). The exceptional rookie is dealing with a back issue that drove him to the injured list earlier today and is evidently more serious than had originally been hoped. It’s exceedingly disappointing news for fans of the San Diego organization, which has long awaited the arrival of a superstar of just this...
In a breakout season full of amazing moments for San Diego Padres rookie shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., his season may now be coming to an end due to an unfortunate injury. San Diego’s skipper Andy Green told reporters on Friday that Tatis Jr. suffered a stress reaction in his lower back and he’ll likely miss the remainder of the season. It’s a devastating blow for a team that still wanted to try and compete for a wild-card spot during the remainder of the season. Losing Tatis Jr. is...

The best shortstop in baseball is going to take the rest of the 2019 season off to rest his young (injured) back.
Here’s some news!
Fernando Tatis Jr. is likely done for the season.
— Kevin Acee (@sdutKevinAcee) August 16, 2019You’re probably saying to yourself right now, “Oh, no! Our young prince! What ever will we do without him?”
Enter me, a reasonable fellow, to paint a picture that will allow you to rest easy at night.
Protect the...One of the game’s annual pastimes is fans setting big expectations for their favorite players as each MLB season approaches. While the lofty goals are sometimes met, plenty are left disappointed by underwhelming performances. Some of the more unfortunate instances of disappointing seasons provide examples of talent declining with age. Of course, some big seasons are just followed by down years, and we are left questioning the legitimacy of the prior big year. Whatever the circumstances...
The San Diego Padres infield has taken two huge hits with rookie phenom Fernando Tatis Jr. and veteran Ian Kinsler landing on the 10-day injured list...
The Padres will place infielders Fernando Tatis Jr. and Ian Kinsler on the injured list, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. It was already known that a back issue — now reported to be a strain — would likely send Tatis to the IL for the second time this season. A herniated disk in Kinsler’s neck will send him there alongside Tatis. Infielder Ty France and outfielder Travis Jankowski are coming up from Triple-A to fill the two roster spots. Tatis is still undergoing...

Like, seriously though
This season, I’ve occasionally felt the need to come out in defense of Padres manager Andy Green.
When the whole “Fire Andy Green” movement hit an apex back in April, I penned an article on this blog illustrating why a mid-season firing of the skipper would have been a bad idea.
This puts me in a tough spot. Am I a stan for Andy Green now? To be honest, there are much, much better hills to die on. Green is far from a perfect...
