Game one is underway, and the Padres are down 6-2 to the Rockies.
Go figure.
No matter how the game ends, it's just one game.

Not a well-played game in several areas. Hopefully they have a better game tonight. Lose to Colorado? Season opener? At home?
Boegarts was impressive at the plate and for the most part in the field. Grisham, Cronenworth, and Nola seemed ready as well.
The rest of them? Looked like they were still operating in Spring Training mode. Pitching is never ready, and that's why hitters should've done better. Marquez shut them down. Wait until all those arms catch up in a few more weeks. Could be another brutal offensive display in the making… but it's very early. The direction of things really can change on a dime during the first six weeks.
What's that Snell (2023 version)? thread could likely be making its annual appearance long before April Showers are over… stay tuned.

Soto continues with the hot bat that he showed with the Padres last season after the trade, going 0-4 with a strikeout.

If you think 0-4 with a strikeout is perfectly OK, well, I don't know what to tell you. Not a single manager is going to say that's not disappointing when it's a franchise player like that. Like I said, it's just one game, nothing to get overly worried about, but it is disappointing since he's supposedly re-focused himself and wants to prove last year was a fluke. |

I don't care about one game because it means nothing. I'm not going to be disappointed over one game because it's not about one game. If a player goes 0-4 and hits four screaming line drives, he's still 0-4, right? Soto crushed the ball in spring training, but spring stats don't mean anything. Neither does the first game of the season in which nobody played particularly well, outside of Bogaerts. There are way too many variables in a single game to feel anything. There's so much randomness involved. The Padres were the better expected hitting team last night and they lost by five runs. |

Padres offense. One hit wonders… (up to three hits, now - WOW!)  Tough way to start the season with most of them struggling to see the ball. Surprising to see such silent bats so far. They are playing the Rockies, right? |

0 for 7.
I get it, I won't be worried for another month, but, still. 0 for 7 is literally as bad a start as he could have.

I think Campusano should start the majority of games. He's ready.

Didn’t think about this aspect, lol: Maybe they will do what Texas used to do (I think): Beer sales will last until the end of the 7th inning, or 2 1/2 hours--whichever comes first. |
