@TooMuchMortons_ @Pimp_Lord619 When was the last time he wasn't trolling??

“He lost 24 pounds, from 230 to 206, using workouts that included pickleball, golf, walking and more.”

"I’m grateful for who I am. I am where my feet are at.” It could be argued that Jeremiah Estrada has pitched with a chip on his shoulder since joining the #Padres. But an offseason of reflection and growth has him leaning into what's really important. sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/03/19/pad…

@MartyCaswell @madfriars @FriarTerritory @DSmithShow @HeathBell21 Always great to talk with you both!
English
Is this AJ Preller's thinnest farm system? @madfriars' @dmjay on Padres spring breakout & Ethan Salas expectations. Opening day is 1 week away, how do we feel about the Padres rotation? The latest @FriarTerritory with @DSmithShow and @HeathBell21 is out!

I don’t mind the steps, but seems like a pretty epic fail for San Diego Airport not to have included an electric, moving walkway in terminal 1, considering the security exit is about a mile from the Southwest gates such as 101

@jessek_86 @LanceBroz @AndrewStoeten Given that 3 of the 4 teams leading the votes in that category have new GMs and have done somewhere between bad and horrible at pitching dev in recent years, I'd guess they got votes on the "it can't get worse" theory.
English
@LanceBroz @AndrewStoeten Can someone explain how we can predict which teams will improve dev. and acq., ie. their organizational philosophies and execution?
English
I sent a survey on pitching development and acquisition to 68 #MLB coaches and executives.
Who is the best? Who is the worst? Who will rise?
Results are below. What stands out?
More in thread... 👀

Panamanian pitchers are at their best when they canal their different offerings.

@RonCho88 @SergioMQuintero @discussbaseball @fitch_shaun Anyone who suggested that any point in the last 22 months should be laughed at and disregarded.
English
@SergioMQuintero @discussbaseball @fitch_shaun The other issue I hear is his maturity. Any indication he has taken his development and training more seriously?
English
Prospect of the day #73: Kash Mayfield, No. 4 prospect in the Padres system…
Only 60.2 IP at the pro level, but a 2.97 ERA, 88 K, .207 BAA during those frames. Plus CH.
21 y/o, 2024 1st rd selection.
English
@Youth_Movement @AJCassavell To be fair, March 8 would have been about 10 days after Nolan reported to spring training for most of his career, and you would have had to have found most of his pitching staff on a golf course to have a conversation with him at this stage of camp.
English
@AJCassavell Imagine saying body fatigue on March 8 to Nolan Ryan.
English
Ramón Laureano was scratched from the starting lineup today with what the Padres are calling general body fatigue. Tbh, same.
English
@Sum_Ting_Wong19 @CFahrenthold11 How stupid do you have to be not to understand that it's good to hit the ball hard? Apparently, as stupid as that peckerhead right there.

@CFahrenthold11 Useless dumbs nerd stats
More useless in spring training.

Jackson Merrill logged exit velocities of 105.4 and 106.0 mph this afternoon.
With this afternoon’s results he owns a 27.7% barrel rate and 61.1% HH% in ST

@madfriars @theBeerkid69 My interview with Joshua in Ft. Wayne after he'd come back from a month in Arizona is among my favorite in 20 years with MadFriars. He's always battled not to dwell on failures in a sport full of them. I really hope his return allows him to enjoy the game.
madfriars.com/2022/08/30/jos…
English
@theBeerkid69 He was reinstated from the voluntarily retired list mid-winter after discussion with the org. (The "transaction" today just made it so he could be added to the game roster). Joshua is supremely talented. Here's hoping he can take advantage of this (last?) opportunity.
English
So, Josh Mears pinch ran for the Padres today? And was apparently signed by the team today, per his transaction history on MLB dot com? Didn’t he retire in the middle of last season @madfriars?
English
Seems like a missed opportunity for the Pride of Morse High to have used this GIF.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is why the WBC is amazing. One of many amazing moments. Hellllluva catch Trayce 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@dannybarrand_ Checked him out on the LE roster page and was pleasantly reminded of the absolute brick shithouse that is Alex McCoy
Mf is beef with a side of beef

Jaxon Dalena was the Padres 6th rounder in the ‘25 draft to save some cash, but he’s pretty fun. Great athlete with elite lower half strength. Bat-missing 4S up to 98 with 18” ride. Fun split with 1100-1200 RPM and 11 MPH/iVB separation from heater. Also Hard CT, solid 12-6, gyro
English
@dannybarrand_ @madfriars Anyone his size at his age will always be interesting, but he's eventually going to have to figure out how to make his body parts move to have any real chance.
English
@madfriars But I bought into the hearsay of him growing into raw power 😢
English
But sure, keep listing Deivid Coronil in your top 20!

The Padres have brought infielder Jhoan De La Cruz and outfielders Santiago Contreras and Moises Valdez over from the DSL for the start of minor league camp. They are now maxed out at 175 players on their domestic roster. De La Cruz is one of their top 2025 position IFA signees.

Remember when Palet thought?
Of course you don't!
Dave Palet@DavePalet
Remember when Padres fans thought Jurickson Profar finally figured baseball out in his 30s?

One of the more fun tasks every year for the MadFriars team is when we get together, compare notes on players, and then speak slowly and use small words to explain to @JohnConniff why he's wrong.
We hope you enjoy the end result as much as we do!

@Taylor____Gang @ESPNInsights That's a great way to lose the house. He'll likely win ROY even if he comes up in May, thereby earning a full year of service time retroactively.
English
@ESPNInsights I’ll bet the house that the Pirates keep him down (until at least April) to get that extra year of control.
English
At 19 years old, Konnor Griffin is looking to become the first teenager to make his MLB debut on Opening Day since Ken Griffey Jr. for the Mariners in 1989 👀
Jeff Passan@JeffPassan
Get used to this. Konnor Griffin is a superstar.
English
@ClayKaradus @ESPNInsights @DVEMike The PPI and the strong likelihood that he'd retroactively get a full year of service time make that improbable.
English
@ESPNInsights @DVEMike The Pirates will keep him down to save a few dollars.
English
@ryanjdrums @ESPNInsights It's almost like they put the phrase "on opening day" in the sentence for a reason.
English
@ESPNInsights This is a wrong stat btw, it was Adrian Beltre in 99
