BK's 2015 San Diego Padres

[bkrich83]

This will not be a typcal franchise thread. It's not really going to be structured and it will be sort of irregular in frequency. It will mostly be a collection of vids and screens I've captured with some updates to go along with them. We'll just see how it plays out. I will also post significant news from around the league, etc.


I am now 35 games in to the season, and now have a record of 18-17 good for 3rd place in the NL West. I've made one significant transaction:

Padres INF Jedd Gyroko, OF Abraham Almonte, and INF/OF Alexi Amarista to Pittsburgh for SS Jordy Mercer and 2B Neil Walker.

See following posts for Videos I have put together thus far. Some will be game highlights, some will be player highlights or big plays ,and some will be series highlights.
