I’m about to blow your mind. Asked Jake Cronenworth about Manny calling him “Jacob” all camp. Turns out the league decided to call him Jake when he was drafted. No one close to him calls him Jake, he said. It’s always been JACOB. High school, college, JACOB. #Padres

TWO SYLLABLES. @jcronenworth9

Evidence (also, how about that headline?!)

@faridyu

Wanted to share a quick story about @faridyu. It starts with a boy named Landon, who, for his 10th birthday, was gifted a trip by his grandparents to Truist Park in Atlanta to see the #Padres play the Braves. Landon is a Padres fan.

Landon & his dad made the 3.5 hour trip from Tennessee, where he lives. But the game was postponed due to rain, which would bum any kid out. However, one player stood outside to sign autographs in the rain: Yu Darvish. Landon was thrilled when he got a ball signed.

Landon's mom is not a baseball fan, but she noticed how happy Landon was (despite the rainout) and messaged Darvish on IG. Didn't expect him to write back, but wanted to say thanks for standing in the rain and making her son happy with a signed ball.
