Better than Expected, but Left Wanting More - a 2026 Recap
Episode 443
Show notes
The Padres won 91 games and made it to the NLDS. The first half of the year that would have felt like an enormous success. And maybe it was!

Manny Nearly Saves Season, Padres Fall Short in Cruel NLDS
Episode 442
Show notes
Manny Machado getting robbed of a game-tying home run was symbolic of a series in which the Padres always seemed to be so, so close. A fun last couple months comes to an unsatisfying end at the hands of the Brewers.

Brewers Stun Miller and SD, Series 2-0 After Second Gut Punch
Episode 440
Show notes
The Padres return home with elimination at their doorstep. Once again San Diego had the lead and the ball in the hands of a stud reliever. Once again the Brewers stunned the Padres, to take a 2-0 lead in the NLDS. Mason Miller was asked to do a lot, and did not deliver. Craig Stammen made a decision at catcher that backfired. And the lineup continues to leave a ton of meat on the bone. Can a resilient team bounce back?

The Padres wrapped up a huge road trip with back-to-back lopsided wins over the Rockies. They are in prime position in the Wild Card - four games up on Arizona - thanks to 10 wins in 11 games. Derek and Darnay discuss how they've gotten it done. The rotation has been much steadier, and the lineup is crushing it. Merrill is playing out of his mind. Harris has become the answer in a key spot in the order. Ethan Salas! Now the high leverage bullpen arms have some rest heading into the final nine games. The guys survey the playoff landscape as the Padres return home.

Padres Get Hot at Home, Stammen, Salas and Lineup Questions
Episode 432
Show notes
The Padres had to sweat it out often against the Yankees and Nats, but it amounted to a very successful homestand. Two straight series wins, including a sweep of the Nats. They needed a strong last week, with Arizona showing some close game mettle as well. Luis Campusano and Jackson Merrill played huge. Nick Pivetta came back. Now they hit the road against two of the worst teams in the National League. Derek and Darnay discuss an encouraging stretch, and the two weeks ahead.

Padres Back In Control of a Playoff Spot and No-No Joe is On the Way
Episode 429
Show notes
The Padres went 3-3 on their road trip but the important thing is they are back in control of the final National League Wild Card spot, and thing seem to be trending in the right direction. Derek talks about how Fernando Tatis Jr. looks like he's playing in 2021, the adjustment Manny Machado made to his batting stance (dare we say he employed an analytics-inspired change?), how the trade deadline helped the entire starting rotation, and the change to Joe Musgrove's routine that strongly suggests he's just about ready to be back on the mound in a big league game. 📺 On Friar is available on YouTube!
