The Padres have played their first ten games of Spring Training, and while it’s way too early to get excited about results, there are plenty of impressions being made all over the field.
The Padres are in contention for a pennant (albeit a meaningless one)
- After losing their first three games of the spring, the Padres have now won six of their last eight, losing only to the A’s in a split squad game yesterday, and notching a rare tie game against the Rangers. Tie games are a fun rarity of spring training, as the teams can agree to end the game at the end of regulation, and usually the managers care more about the health and performance of the players than the results on the scoreboard.
