About this episode
Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres' recent series loss, player performances, and the new ownership group's introduction.
From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the San Diego Padres series loss to the Pirates on the heels of sweeping the Twins and the introductions of the new ownership group. The two discuss the shock of seeing Mason Miller give up his first home run in over a year, Miller's comments on human's being idiots sometime and why manager Craig Stammen said he was comfortable using Miller and Morejon, despite their workload. Marty and Darren also discuss Manny Machado's bruised index finger and slumping offense, and who should bat third should Stammen drop him in the order. Spoiler alert, everyone not named Ty France and Fernando Tatis is in a slump. The two then discuss the latest ownership news with Joe and Jesse Buss, sons of legendary Lakers owner Jerry Buss joining Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano with a 5% share of the Padres. What kind of role will they have as owners and why does it matter if they had experience in the NBA with roster construction and salary cap issues? Marty and Darren discuss the weird uncertainty that still hangs around the Padres and what this could mean in the future. To explore coverage, visit…
