PADRES RUMORS & GOSSIP
Padres’ Will Venable makes game-saving diving catch
San Diego Padres center fielder Will Veneble saved the game Monday against the San Francisco Giants. In a tie game with two outs in the bottom of the 12th, Veneble had this diving catch off the bat of Juan Pierre. Had Veneble not made the grab, Brandon Belt, who was standing at second base, would have easily scored the game-winning run. After winning this game in the 13 innings,...

Who are these San Diego Padres?
The San Diego Padres? Most of us predicted them to finish last in the NL West this year, right?
That division was expected to be a two-team race between the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants and megabucks Los Angeles Dodgers. Early in the season, however, the surprise emergence of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies made the NL West a three-team battle...
Everth Cabrera Propelling San Diego Padres Up NL West
Lenny Ignelzi- AP
Everth Cabrera has been the most valuable player in all of baseball during the last 30 days. Thanks to Cabrera’s strong performance through his last 27 games, the San Diego Padres are in the midst of a seven-game win streak and are quickly climbing up the NL West ladder.
During his previous four stints in the majors, Cabrera has been an average hitter (if not...
Healthy Kyle Blanks Can Fulfill His Promise To The San Diego Padres
The hottest hitter on the hottest team in the National League was headed to the minors earlier this month. The San Diego Padres had optioned Kyle Blanks to Triple-A Tuscon on June 5 to make room for Cameron Maybin’s return from the disabled list, but called him right back when Yonder Alonso hit the DL. Beset by injuries himself over the past three seasons, Blanks has made the...

Video: Will Venable makes catch of the year so far
On Monday night San Diego Padres outfielder Will Venable made the catch of the year in Major League Baseball so far. Not only was the catch itself incredible, but it also saved the game for the San Diego Padres against the rival San Francisco Giants.
In the bottom of the 12th inning with the game tied 3-3, San Francisco’s Juan Perez strolled to the play with the winning run on...
Surging San Diego Padres Have Won 6 In A Row
Quick, which NL West team has improved the most since the start of the season?
Its not the Arizona Diamondbacks, whose pitching woes continue to drag them down, despite holding on to a slim lead in the division.
Its not the San Francisco Giants, who are still trying to prove their the same 2012 team that won the World Series.
You could argue its the Colorado Rockies, who after a...
Haiku-arrhea: Week 11 in Padres Baseball
In an effort to stay close to our roots, the staff at Padres Public, will offer-up a haiku each Monday to describe the previous week in Padres Baseball. Restricting our feelings to 3 lines and 17 syllables to describe a week of play is a massive undertaking, but (un) fortunately, we are more than up to the task.
What an amazing week. The Padres play six games at home against the...
A Point Of Contention
On Thursday, during the Padres’ off day, after they’d finished off a sweep of the NL East leading Braves, I started reading some Twitter musings about how few games back the Padres were from first place and how close contention actually was for this team. So I tweeted this:
Negative Nancy tweet: let's see the Padres get over .500 before we wonder if they are possible contenders...
Game 69: What You Need to Know
The Padres defeated Arizona yesterday (4-1) to complete consecutive sweeps at home against first place teams. Clayton Richard pitched for his career yesterday and got the win in 8 fantastic innings of work moving the team to 35-34 . . . which is amazing! The Padres head to San Francisco to begin a series today.

The Padres, as No Team has Been Before
It is a fact undeniable that people don’t often talk about the San Diego Padres. The reasons for this, presumably, are numerous. The Padres haven’t been good for a while. They have a relatively small fan base, and a limited payroll, and they’re overshadowed by bigger deals up north. They play out West, for whatever that might matter. They don’t have any stop-what-you’re...
Padres' Everth Cabrera and Carlos Quentin may land on DL
The San Diego Padres are above .500 for the first time this season. They've been playing well and have won six games in a row. However, their ability to maintain that success will be largely dependent on how healthy they can remain. And right now, it looks like health is a real concern. At least for Everth Cabrera and Carlos Quentin.
Cabrera had to leave yesterday...
Another loss to Padres completes Diamondbacks’ sweep
Third day in a row, and it was the same result as the Diamondbacks lost to the Padres 4-1 to complete the Padres’ series sweep Sunday afternoon.
Padres' Quentin scratched, Ciriaco's eyes opportunity, Gyorko hits cage
According to MLB.com's Corey Brock, left fielder Carlos Quentin was scratched from the starting lineup before Saturday's game against the D-backs, giving utilityman Pedro Ciriaco, in a roundabout way, his first start with his new team.
#Padres LF Carlos Quentin scratched with some discomfort in left shoulder, the result of a swing on Friday.
