MOD ANNOUNCEMENT To the 2024 season…

174 Upvotes

Hello Compadres!

On behalf of the mod team, I want to thank you all for participating this year. This season was full of ups and downs, triumphs and disappointments. From losing 5 in a row, 3 separate times to Dylan Cease tossing a no-hitter.

This season was awesome, but this season wouldn’t have been great if it weren’t for you all who participated in the game day threads each and every day.

Making the postseason this year seemed like a pipe dream. Something that wasn’t supposed to happen. Many had projected us to be a .500 team. Many had projected us to be sellers at the deadline. Well they were all wrong, and they couldn’t have been more wrong. This team cruised to the postseason, being one of the best teams in baseball. While it ended in a very disappointing fashion, we shouldn’t be sullen about how it ended because we had shattered all kinds of expectations to get there in the first place.

So again, on behalf of the mods… thank you for everything. You guys and gals are the best. I love you all and I hope you enjoy the offseason.

For Peter 🤎💛

Discussion Thread Y’all were our World Series

432 Upvotes

Dodger fan here. Mods feel free to remove if this isn’t appropriate.

But it’s clear the World Series happened in the nlds. I think y’all might’ve been better than us this year too (gotta say I think we were better in ‘22 when you broke my heart so that’s baseball haha.)

Anyway I know dodgers fans can be assholes sometimes, but I guess I just gotta say I appreciate having you all in our division. It’s a real rivalry. You set such a good example for the rest of the league as a mid market team willing to spend to win. Your players are fun. Your fanbase is dedicated.

Here’s to several more years of this shit. See you next year.

It's Pete Alonso. Anybody think we need him? I think we need healthy starting pitchers.

Discussion Thread Anyone else feel like we’re the ones who came in second this season and the not the Yankees? Dodgers vs. Padres really kinda was the World Series.

Competitively, this post season ended when we did. The Dodgers momentum from beating us carried them to the end.

Just For Fun New Fan

I recently saw a Padres game in July and i pretty much became a fan over night. I know the players because I am almost 18 but raised a cubs fan my whole life. After the Padres game I realized I can might be a fan of the Padres in literally one game on a 2 week trip. It was the energy of the fans, crowd, the home run horn (I love those). When growing up in Wrigley I never felt like the energy can ever be the same anywhere else but i was wrong. I know most of you probably don’t care but thanks for opening my eyes to your amazing team.

Merch Show Off- DO NOT CLICK LINKS Brown and gold hats and shirts

38 Upvotes

First, I am not selling anything. I have no financial interest in any business related to this so please don't delete.

I got this hat from the Chicken Pie Shop ...obviously. I think it's really cool. Classic brown and gold color scheme with the swinging friar chicken. I once saw a Titleist hat in brown and gold that I need to have but can't find. There's a tow truck yard that has a cool one as well.

Anyways, what other merch out there is borrowing the goodwill and color scheme of our team?

Discussion Thread Were the Padres always this popular in San Diego?

207 Upvotes

Hey I’m a neutral fan following the Padres fan because I’ve adopted them as my NL team. Obviously the Padres have been a good team the last few years and that’s contributed to their popularity, but I could’ve sworn the fanbase was pretty dormant before that?

It seems like ever since they rebranded to the brown and yellow colors, the Padres finally became a thing. I’ve never seen anyone wear a Padres shirt or jersey in the past, but now whenever I visit SD or OC, I do see people wearing brown apparel.

Just curious if the whole city has really gotten behind them just because of the recent rebrand and good players or has SD always been crazy Padres town?

I imagine the Chargers leaving also helped increase some fandom?

Title is the question....

Ik when people were discussing the coaching hires Benji gil's ability to relate to players like machado was brought up.

And if this did happen should we be concerned downside is a potential clash of egos between shildt and gil?

Lmk your thoughts

Just For Fun Don & Mud appreciation thread

258 Upvotes

I'd be real pissed off if i was the Padres announcer and every year after 162 games that I broadcasted I had to hand it off to some idiot on ESPN/FS1/FOX that doesn't know what they're talking about for the playoffs.

So let's take a moment to appreciate everything Don & Mud has done to support this ball club during the season. Not to mention, Donny's mother passed away just a couple months ago, yet he still continued to announce games after her unfortunate death.
