Padres have no margin for error, does schedule favor Padres or DBacks?
About this episode
Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres' critical situation in the standings and their recent performance against the Nationals, featuring insights from Manny Machado and Albert Pujols.
Manny Machado knows the Padres have no margin for error. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres finding a way to win against a bad Nationals bullpen, and why the players are scoreboard watching every bit as much as the fans and media. The two hear from Machado on a game the Padres absolutely had to win and discuss where the team would be without the heroics of Luis Campusano. Which NL team has the toughest remaining schedule? Marty and Darren break down the remaining opponents for the Padres and Diamondbacks, and discuss why the Dodgers will still have a lot to play for even if they clinch the NL West before the Padres series. The two also discuss a very encouraging return from Nick Pivetta, and discuss the contrasting path for a very emotional Joe Musgrove. Marty and Darren discuss why they're not counting out Musgrove, and the incredible impact he has had on his teammates, including Campusano. Why was future Hall of famer Albert Pujols at Petco Park on Tuesday? Marty and Darren hear from Pujols on his experience interviewing for Padres manager and what kind of job he thinks Chris Stammen, er Craig Stammen, is doing.
