Blake Snell

The Rockies are feeling good after taking the first two games of their series with the Padres. Now they’ll try to make it a sweep as they complete their homestand before hitting the road for Miami. Blake Snell (0-3, 5.04 ERA) will toe the rubber for San Diego, trying...

Snell (0-4) took the loss Sunday against the Rockies, allowing five runs on five hits while striking out five and walking four over 4.2 innings. Snell has had a rough start to his 2022 campaign, allowing three or more earned runs in four of six appearances. He was mostly inefficient Sunday in throwing 49 of 89 pitches for strikes. The lefty also walked a season-high four batters. Snell certainly has some adjustments to make as he will take a 5.46 ERA into his next appearance.

Snell still finding his way while striking out seven, walking two vs. Colorado

After winning the night cap of yesterday’s double header, the Colorado Rockies have a chance to split the four game series with the San Diego Padres in today’s finale. If the Rockies win today, they will also have won back-to-back games for the first time in 37 days. The major surprise of this road trip has been the turnaround from the starting pitching. The Rockies rotation has put up five quality starts in their last six games.

Snell didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 4-2 loss to Colorado, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings. Snell retired 12 of 13 Rockies in the first, second, third and sixth innings but struggled in the fourth and fifth, surrendering a combined seven baserunners and two runs in both frames. Through five starts, the 29-year-old possesses a 5.04 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 29 strikeouts with 13 walks in 25 innings. Snell will go for his first win with a rematch against German Marquez and the Rockies scheduled for next weekend.

Welcome to the discussion.

On the latest episode of Talking Friars, I give you my reaction to the San Diego Padres series against the New York Mets. Blake Snell sucked on Monday (should the Padres trade him?), New York Mets fans whined after Pete Alonso got hit on Tuesday, Yu Darvish and Adrian Morejon were tremendous and two former teammates pitched against one another on Wednesday.

How has Blake Snell gone from Cy Young Award winner to one of the more unreliable starters in the Padres’ rotation?. The year is 2018. 25-year-old lefty Blake Snell enters his third big league season with the Tampa Bay Rays, hoping to build off of two solid years to kick off his career. He accomplishes this goal and more as he started 31 games and nearly won the Pitching Triple Crown. He won 21 games with a 1.89 ERA, both leading the AL, along with 221 strikeouts, tied for sixth-most in the league. That year, the voters decided that he out-performed All-Star pitchers such as Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, Corey Kluber and Chris Sale to win the 2018 AL Cy Young Award. And he deserved it.

The story of last night’s game between the New York Mets and San Diego Padres was of course Eduardo Escobar hitting for the cycle. But there were other storylines as well. One of the more notable ones outside of Escobar’s cycle was that of Blake Snell, who drew the start for the Padres on Monday night.

Padres left-hander Blake Snell is making his fourth start since returning from adductor strain

Snell (0-3) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings. Snell got off to a poor start, allowing five of the first seven batters he faced to reach base as New York took an early 3-0 lead. He bounced back with two straight scoreless frames before the Mets tagged him for another run in the fourth, and he departed after the first two batters reached base (one by error) against him in the fifth. Snell has taken losses in three of his four stats this season, though this was the first time he has given up more than three runs in an outing. He'll look to get in the win column in his next start, which is lined up to come at home against Colorado this weekend.

The Los Angeles Dodgers might’ve gotten swept at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates, falling to 1-5 on the season series against the lowly NL Central squad, but you know what’s arguably funnier? The San Diego Padres making up ZERO ground despite the Dodgers’ epic failure. Again, why...

Blake Snell is feeling healthy and locked in the Padres rotation for as long as he’s pitching this season. G & c caught up with him after his latest start and asked him what the current morale of the team after three straight losses.

Hot mic, two words every broadcaster hopes to avoid seeing in a headline next to their name. Luckily for San Diego Padres broadcaster Bob Scanlan, as far as hot mic gaffes go, this one wasn’t too bad. Monday night, the Padres had play-by-play voice Don Orsillo and analyst Mark...

San Diego left-hander Blake Snell will test his rebuilt stamina when the Padres oppose the host St. Louis Cardinals on

Snell allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out six in six innings of a 3-2 defeat Tuesday in St. Louis. He did not factor into the decision. Both runs against Snell came in the third inning as he allowed two walks, a double and a sacrifice fly. He settled down over the last three frames and retired the Cardinals in order each inning. It was the lefty's best start of the season and the first time he completed six innings. His next start will likely come early next week against the Mets.
