About this episode

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres' recent loss to the Reds and the implications of Ethan Salas's arrival.

Will the Padres going 0-for-10 with RISP against the Cincinnati Reds come back to haunt them? Time will tell. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres 4-3 loss to the Reds despite a solid outing by Randy Vasquez and two home runs by Fernando Tatis Jr. The two also discuss if there's reasons to be concerned with a leaky bullpen after a rough outing by Adrian Morejon. Regardless of what the Padres do on Wednesday with Casey Mize on the mound, the team will head back to San Diego to face the Yankees on the heels of a massively disappointing road trip. Marty and Darren then jump into the Padres news of the day, the arrival of 20-year-old catching prospect Ethan Salas, who arrived in the third inning. The two hear from manager Craig Stammen on what kind of role Salas will have, rave reviews from Nick Pivetta and Joe Musgrove during their rehab outings, and what it means for playing time for Luis Campusano and Freddy Fermin. Marty and Darren then discuss the stunning news from the Padres neighbors up north, Artie Moreno selling the Angels to Stan Kroenke, the owner of the Rams, Denver Nuggets and Arsenal, for a record $4 billion dollars.
