As Meg said when I saw her a few minutes ago, missing Bryce more than usual today. He loved opening day at Del Mar.
A nice tribute for our friend Bryce Miller here at the Del Mar Racetrack.

Yes, #Padres infielder Jose Iglesias is releasing a new single this Friday. He is very excited about it. Here he is teasing it earlier this season:
Padres comeback to beat the Nationals 4-3 this evening at Petco Park. @sdut



"I’m happy for these guys (in the majors), but I’m mad. That’s my best friend.” #Padres notes: The fruit of the Juan Soto trade--the one that bummed out Jackson Merrill--is front and center this week at Petco Park. Plus a Michael King update. sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/06/23/pad…
This year just gets worse and worse. First we lose Bryce Miller and now Scott, one of the few people I’ve ever met who was every bit as nice as Bryce. My condolences to Kim and Gretchen and the rest of the family. And BTW, cancer sucks and so does anyone not trying to stop it.
Heartbroken to share: Baseball lost a giant. Scott Miller @ScottMillerBbl was a brilliant writer and an even better human. His gift for storytelling embodied his kind soul and heart. I loved him, and so did all blessed to know him. Please keep Kim, Gretchen, and family in prayer
Tatis lawsuit against Big League Advance Fund (BLA) is not yet available, but in my search I found that BLA sued ex-Padre Franmil Reyes last week, alleging he owes BLA $404K in past-due payments, $298K in interest on those payments, plus more money from his time playing in Japan.
Padres walk it off, beating the Royals 3-2 today in San Diego. @sdut
