    Padres offense explodes in split vs. D-backs | 605

    Padres offense explodes in split vs. D-backs | 605

    Reaction to the Padres series split vs. Arizona in San Diego. They had a five-game losing streak going into Friday night so things needed to turn around offensively and they sure did the next two games in a big way. Ha-Seong Kim, Jake Cronenworth, Kyle Higashioka, Jurickson Profar and Fernando Tatis Jr. all homered on either Friday and/or Saturday. Adam Mazur made his first home start in the series finale on Sunday afternoon.

    Manny leaves with injury, Padres swept by Angels | 604

    Manny leaves with injury, Padres swept by Angels | 604

    Reaction to the Padres visit to Anaheim. Matt Waldron continues to be fantastic but the offense didn't do enough to win game one (same thing for game two with Adam Mazur making his big league debut). Per Kevin Acee, this is the first time in franchise history that the Padres have lost three straight games in which their starting pitcher went at least six innings and gave up no more than one run. Dylan Cease pitched in the finale and Manny Machado had to exit after beating out a double play ball. Plus, we have a Joe Musgrove update and Matt Kemp had some dumb comments about being in San Diego.

    Padres take Royals series as Darvish, Musgrove go on IL | 603

    Padres take Royals series as Darvish, Musgrove go on IL | 603

    Reaction to the Padres series vs. the Royals in Kansas City. San Diego made history in game one of the series, getting ELEVEN hits in one inning a night after the team went out to dinner together on their off day. Joe Musgrove was supposed to start Saturday but instead it was Randy Vasquez, as he went on the IL again with right elbow inflammation. It wasn't just him on Saturday who went on the shelf. Yu Darvish has a groin strain and will be missing time as well. Who do the Padres go to now and what were some main takeaways from this series?

    Padres take 2/3 vs. Marlins | 602

    Padres take 2/3 vs. Marlins | 602

    Reaction to the Padres series win over the Marlins. Memorial Day may not have been a pretty win but we'll take all the wins we can get. Tuesday was a much more enjoyable win, as Matt Waldron pitched the best he's ever pitched in the big leagues and Jeremiah Estrada struck out his 11th, 12th and 13th consecutive batters to seal the shutout victory. Yu Darvish started the series finale and exited with a hamstring injury. Mike Shildt had more interesting comments postgame...

    Padres lose series to Soto, Yankees | 601

    Padres lose series to Soto, Yankees | 601

    Reaction to the Padres series loss vs. the Yankees at Petco Park. It was a Home Run Derby in game one with Yu Darvish on the mound, as Soto, Judge and Stanton all homered off of him and none of them were cheapies. The offense continued to struggle against lefties and the big duo of Tatis and Machado aren't providing enough power right now compared to other notable duos. Dylan Cease and Joe Musgrove pitched the two weekend games and San Diego was able to avoid the sweep.

    Padres finish off 5-2 road trip with Reds series win | 600

    Padres finish off 5-2 road trip with Reds series win | 600

    Reaction to the Padres series win in Cincinnati vs. the Reds. Sure, they were playing their third game in almost 24 hours but the offense simply needed to be better in game one to support Joe Musgrove and the bullpen. Nick Martinez faced his former team in game two and Matt Waldron pitched in the series finale. Xander Bogaerts was placed on the IL and it seems like he'll be out for the next couple months. Jake Cronenworth played his first game at 2B in 2024. Is that the best spot to put him while Bogey is out?

Decent Podcast

Content seems good, audio is a bit off. Especially with this most recent ep 230, lots of echo and a bit quiet.
