  • Xander Bogaerts swag, mixed reaction to Padres city connects
    Apr 10 2026

    Does Xander Bogaerts have his swag back?

    Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss Xander Bogaerts walk-off grand slam versus the Colorado Rockies, and the type of confidence he's playing with.

    13 games in, 13 different lineups for Padres manager Craig Stammen. Marty and Darren discuss the Padres offensive identity and how Manny Machado, who didn't get a day off in 2025 until September, reacted to a day off in April.

    Walk-off aside, the biggest story at Petco Park on Thursday night was the Padres unveiling their new City Connect uniforms. Marty and Darren hear from Manny Machado on his initial reaction to the uniforms and discuss the cultural meaning behind the latest designs.

  • Dennis Lin talks Padres ownership, Castellanos surging for Padres
    Apr 9 2026

    The San Diego Padres are back to .500 after an encouraging 4-2 road trip at the Red Sox and Pirates, but the biggest question hovering over the team continues to be who the next owner of the team will be.

    Darren Smith and Marty Caswell are joined by The Athletic's Dennis Lin with the latest on the timeline for a sale, if there's a clear frontrunner and how prospective owners are evaluating the franchise.

    Marty and Darren discuss some encouraging signs from the roadie, how long Craig Stammen had planned to give Manny Machado his first day off and the ongoing search for their leadoff hitter and offensive identity.

    The Padres will launch their City Connects on Thursday. What should fans expect? The duo then discuss what's going on with Fernando Tatis, and if 2025 was the real indicator of the type of player he is at this point.

  • Padres can't figure out leadoff , German Marquez bounces back, electric Mason Miller
    Apr 7 2026

    Are the Padres starting to figure out who they really are? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discussed the biggest takeaways from the Padres first winning series versus the Red Sox, and German Marquez's promising outing versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

    Are we starting to see some good signs from the heart of the Padres offense? From Manny Machado's first home run to Fernando Tatis overcoming a terrible four-strikeout performance versus the Red Sox, the offense has finally shown some signs of life despite the black hole at the leadoff spot.

    Darren and Marty also discuss the impending return of Jason Adam and Yuki Matsui, and how it could affect the Padres bullpen decisions. Name a more electric player in baseball than Mason Miller. You can't, can you?

    Marty and Darren break down why every pitch by the Padres closer is must-watch and why he's the most exciting player on the Padres.
