Eric Lauer will pitch opening game. Well deserved. On June 1st last year his era was 7.76 but was lowered to 4.32 by stringing together some great games. In the spring he has allowed two hits in 10 Innings 0 runs

Nick Margevicius starts today. 7th round pick a couple of years ago from College. He had a great peripheral stats season last year. Great strikeout-to-walk ratio with a high batting average on balls in play making a much lower FIP than ERA. After Logan Allen gets rocked again today, Nick Margevicius looks more like the #5.

Not going to happen. But Chris Paddack will be pitching Sunday, so that is amazing.

In bad news territory, Anderson Espinoza was pulled today in the first inning after only a handful of pitches. No word yet as to why.

It looks like I am right! Nick Margevicius starts Saturday. He will be added to the roster just in time to start.

He looked good in spring training and although his numbers were in a ball last year, his peripheral stats were very good. He pitched in NCAA. They move quicker than youngsters coming out of high school due to their age and experience.

That's where scouting comes in. Although, if he didn't have NCAA experience I would be more worried. I guess we will see.

This starting rotation is going to get crushed. I hate to be the forecaster of doom, but look for the team ERA to be around 5.00 and a few of these guys on the DL or back in San Antonio before long. If I knew you, I would be glad to take your money if you had the nerve to back that statement up. Joey Lucchesi had an ERA of 4.08 in 28 starts last season as a 24 year old. He should easily be better this season. Eric Laurer had an ERA of 4.34 in 23 starts last season as a 22 year old. He should easily be better this season. I think Laurer will be much better. His ERA was higher than his general effectiveness because of 3 starts right before he went on the DL. After he came back He gave up 3 Earned runs in his last 5 starts. This spring he has not been scored on and has a 0.50 WHIP. Chirs Paddack is a very good candidate to be a sensational rookie. Matt Strahm had a 2.05 ERA out of the pen and projects well as a starter since he uses 4 pitches. He did start 5 games last season in which he had a 1.35 ERA. The Padres have a number of options for the 5th spot. I think that will possibly be the only starter with an ERA above 5.00. I am hoping for Logan Allen - I think he will be a good pitcher. The bullpen will be awesome as always. It loses Matt Strahm but they did sign Adam Warren who had a 3.14 ERA in the AL last season in the Yankees and Mariners pens. There will be a couple of good pitchers coming of TJ surgery that could see action late in the season, if needed. April is in the books and the Padres starting pitching has a 3.45 ERA which is 3rd best in the NL. The Padres pitching overall has a 3.48 ERA second best in the NL. The Padres have the 5th lowest number of innings per game from their starters (NL only) but are only 1 inning every 12 games from being in the top half of that stat. Teams are clustered pretty close in that stat. Pitching is the strength of the team.

The .220 is the lowest end-of-April team average since 2014 (.217).

True, but not hitting will turn this season into a major disappointment, with the pitching we have shown early in this season.

The bats will heat up and the pitching, which everyone thought was going to be the undoing of this team, kept us afloat. Don't be surprised to see this team make a wild-card spot.

I think there is a major move coming in the near future. Regardless, this year was seen by most internally as a stepping stone year to competition. I think there are a ton of teams in the middle of the pack who will be fighting for a Wild Card spot.
