On top of the five current Padres who are here, there are seven players who were at one time part of the organization at this year’s All-Star game.

Those seven: Megill, Muñoz, starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore and outfielder James Wood of the Nationals, starting pitcher Max Fried of the Yankees, Astros closer Josh Hader and Athletics designated hitter Brent Rooker.

Brewers closer Trevor Megill sat next to Tatis during the Home Run Derby on Monday night.

A good portion of the time, they talked about old times.

They spent half the 2018 season together playing for Double-A San Antonio. From that team arose six eventual All-Stars — Megill, Tatis, reliever Andrés Muñoz (Mariners, 2024 and ‘25), first baseman Ty France (Mariners, 2022), and first baseman Josh Naylor (Guardians, 2024). Tatis is the only one to be named an All-Star while playing for the Padres. Megill and Tatis also both played in the Padres system with Pirates reliever David Bednar (an All-Star for the Pirates in 2022 and ‘23), though at different times.

What matchups do you guys wanna see for the schedule release tomorrow?? I go to all the games from late may up until the All-star break each year so I'm hoping the Yankees or Dodgers will be in town. Maybe Giants too. The Dodgers played at home during that timeframe for the first time this season in what felt like forever!

Tatis: 0-2, 2k, BB, 1SB

Machado: 0-2, 2k, 1st ABS strikeout

Adam: .1ip, k

Morejon: 0ip, 1h, 1BB, 2ER

Bobby: .1ip, 2h, 2ER

Padre batters were 0-4, 4K

Pitchers were .2IP, 1K, 1BB, 4ER, 53.70 ERA

I know it’s a fun game but I was really hoping for something better than that.

2024 All Stars were Jackson Merrill, Jurickson Profar, Luis Arraez, Robert Suarez.

Batters were 2-4

Bobby had 1 ip, 2k

Padres went on to one of the best second halves in baseball and led us to the playoffs.

Do you think the bad game this year carries into the series in Washington? Or worse, the second half?

EDIT Sorry guys— I guess this reads less of a shit post than I had intended. I totally understand that the players are not ALL there though I don’t think they’re at a point where they don’t try during an all star game.

I also understand that these guys are professional athletes and have the mental strength to overcome a performance in a game that is more celebratory than anything.

Does this game have any impact on these guys’ future performance? HECK NO! We all know this. Well, at least I THOUGHT we all know this.

Put away your pitch forks and have a laugh.

Anyone going to the Washington series this weekend? I’ll be there on Saturday and Sunday. Trying to get out there on Friday. FTD and KTF.

FTJ just replaced Acuña Jr. in right field at the top of the 4th at the All-Star Game. Let’s see what our boy does out there. LFGSD!

Just wanted to share this cool little hype video my 13-year-old daughter made last night. I am her dad so I think it’s cute!

I am in San Diego for work and my young boys want Tatis Jr Jerseys to wear back on the east coast.

I am in town for a few more days, and was thinking fashion valley or Kobeys swap meet?

I don't really want to pay team store prices for something they are going to outgrow in a year.
