This is the full BBC lineup over the next few weeks...

How? Nothing there seemed to indicate she had done anything...thats crazy! 🤯

Sad to see Joey Votto finally hang up his cleats. Really hoped he would get one last shot at the majors with his Blue Jays this season, but it just wasn't meant to be. What a career though - and if he doesn't go into broadcasting at some point I will be shocked...

Our age old problem of pitching depth is starting to rear its ugly head again. I really thought this season it looked stronger. With Darvish now gone for a while, Musgrove still out (but been awful since Spring Training anyway), and the bullpen struggling, its something Preller needs to address...

And then its all gone wrong the last 2 days....(for us anyway!) 😆

With the All Star break coming up, how does everyone see the first half of the season for their respective teams? Personally, the Padres are as infuriating as ever. Just one series sweep to their name, and some shocking series losses as well. Yes, they've had their moments - Profar & Jackson...

Incredibly sad news this morning to hear of the passing of Willie Mays at the age of 93. An absolute legend of the game, and a name that everybody will have heard at some point - whether they're a baseball fan or not. The Rickwood Field game tomorrow night, ironically honouring Mays and the rest...

After the series win against LA, I thought we could go on a run of wins / sweep this series v Colorado. How wrong was I? Even Dylan Cease (whos been brilliant since signing) couldn't get past the Rox last night.

Any news about this yet @Billy in Bristol ? I'd be interested in going along - and will put it out on the group chat for the rest of the Brighton Baseball Club players, if its happening?

Im slowly building up a collection of baseball movies on DVD (yes, Im old skool!) and got 'Bad News Bears' and 'Field of Honour' (about the negro leagues) through yesterday. The Natural is on my list to still get (y)

The only one I can think of, with him in, is The Natural? Not seen that one yet tbh

So what does everyone make of the rash of injuries that have plagued pitchers through the opening games of the season? A lot of it being blamed on the shortened pitch clock, but I cant believe that is the sole reason so many pitchers are going down hurt so early...?

"50 Summers" is a great docu-film about the Omaha Storm Chasers minor league team, and their 50th season opening weekend buildup. Also, "The Battered Bastards of Baseball", which is about the independent Single A team started by Kurt Russell's dad in the '70s. "42", (the Jackie Robinson...

A San Fran debut to forget for Blake Snell too.

Padres coming back from 8-0 down against the Cubs, to win 9-8. I'll take that.

Opening Day! Really looking forward to a long weekend of action. Padres v Giants should be a good one - especially with the return of Melvin to Petco so soon after leaving. Wonder what sort of reception he will get. Super excited to get the season underway, although I think we will struggle to...

Even though we are relatively new to the sport, we were chuffed to bits last summer at the London Series when (sitting by the Cards bullpen) my wife managed to get a ball from Adam Wainwright, and an autograph from him on his Topps card we got in the commemorative packs being sold. Will treasure...

Wild Win for the Padres in Game 2. #LFGSD! Most runs ever scored against the Dodgers....Gone toe to toe over two games - and if not for a broken glove, could be 2-0 Welcome to the big leagues Mr Yamamoto

Cant factor for a broken lace / web on a glove, but that was a game changer with Cronenworths charged error. Crazy. Oh well, lets focus on splitting the series now and get back to SD at .500
