    Padres acquiring Luis Arraez | 594

    Reaction to AJ Preller's huge trade from Friday night, as he acquired Luis Arraez from the Marlins for multiple prospects and Woo Suk Go. Where might he hit in the lineup and what might this mean for other guys on the roster? Plus, the Padres got production from Fernando Tatis Jr., Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill among others to help them get a win vs. the D-backs.

    Jake Cronenworth powers Padres to series win vs. Reds | 593

    Jake Cronenworth powers Padres to series win vs. Reds | 593

    Reaction to the Padres series win vs. the Reds. The losing streak increased to five games on Monday night, as San Diego was dominated by Nick Lodolo. Yu Darvish returned on Tuesday and the offense gave him some run support. Mike Shildt made a courageous decision in game two that led to a big inning. Joe Musgrove bounced back in the series finale before Jake Cronenworth hit a much-needed granny for the win. Oh and Brian Kenny might be insane.

    Padres swept by Phillies | 592

    Reaction to the Padres series disappointing series vs. the Phillies at Petco Park. Joe Musgrove hasn't looked very good this season and he took the Padres out of the game in the series opener. Manny Machado is back and not just in the lineup but at the hot corner as well. Dylan Cease couldn't match Ranger Suarez on Saturday and Mike Shildt finally made a change in the leadoff spot on Sunday with Xander Bogaerts still in the lineup.

    Padres choke Rockies series win | 590

    Reaction to the Padres series split in Colorado against the Rockies. Dylan Cease is working out really well for San Diego right now and there are some amazing stats that help describe how great his start has been. Manny Machado went on the paternity list. Michael King got into trouble in game two. Matt Waldron and Randy Vasquez pitched the final three games of the road trip. Jackson Merrill missed the series finale with a groin injury. Plus, a great conversation between Eric Hosmer, Fernando Tatis Jr., Jurickson Profar and others is out.

    Padres offense struggles vs. Blue Jays | 589

    Padres offense struggles vs. Blue Jays | 589

    The Padres had been playing good baseball heading into this series against the Blue Jays but like Thursday in Milwaukee, the offense didn't do much this weekend. We saw Mike Shildt's first ejection as Padres manager, Graham Pauley getting called back up and the continued struggles of Xander Bogaerts--until he homered Sunday. What other takeaways were there from this series?

Decent Podcast

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