Alright, let’s talk about this whole Padres-Phillies thing for 2024. It’s been a bit of a wild ride getting ready for this season, and I’ve got some thoughts on how it’s all unfolding.

So, first off, I started digging into how I could even watch the Padres this year. I realized that I cut the cord with cable a while back, and I’m not going back just for this. I spent a good chunk of time searching for my options, and let me tell you, it’s a bit of a mess with all the changes in how games are being broadcast.
The Dodgers and Yankees are already looking strong, as expected. The Dodgers have a ton of wins, and the Yankees won the AL East. I know it is not much about Padres or Phillies, but it sets the stage for what kind of season we might expect.
I came across some stuff about the Phillies, too. Apparently, the first game of the series is set for Friday, but it got pushed back because of rain. Wheeler vs. Strider, which sounds like a pretty good matchup. I remember someone said “All teams have room for improvement”, and that got me thinking about what both the Padres and Phillies need to do to step up their game.
I also found out that game 2 between the Phillies and the Padres will be at 6:40 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park. It’s going to be on NBCS-PH. That’s some useful info for planning.
While diving into all this, I saw a note that said, “Padres batters managed a 10-for-36 hit rate overall and were 4-for-11 with runners in scoring position.” It’s those little details that really show where the team stands.

- Without cable, it’s a bit tricky.
- There’s no Bally Sports for the Padres anymore, which complicates things.
- The media landscape has changed, so finding games isn’t as straightforward as it used to be.
Here’s what I gathered about watching the games:
I spent hours piecing this stuff together, and I’m still not sure I’ve got the best setup for watching every game. It’s kind of frustrating, to be honest. But I’m committed to figuring it out. I looked at each position on the field for both teams and tried to get a sense of what we’re in for this season.
So, that’s where I’m at with this whole Padres-Phillies 2024 situation. It’s been a bit of a headache getting ready, but I’m all in. Let’s see how this season plays out.
