Only nine teams in baseball have yet to play a game at home. Only the Padres had to open with seven games in seven days on the road. Sure, that has more to do with the MLB Lockout than a scheduling oversight, but it’s still a long time to have to wait to play in front of your own fans….
During Spring Training, Yu Darvish said he thought Musgrove had actually beaten him out to earn the honor of starting on Opening Day. Instead, Joe was the 3rd man out, but Melvin did that on purpose. He knew the schedule and wanted to give No-No Joe the start in the HOME opener.
He went right from Spring Training in Arizona to the Bay Area , where he was able to take a little time and pack up some stuff from his place. He's still using his green glove instead of switching to a Padres color .
