Talking Friars: A San Diego Padres podcast ·

2024/06/10

Reaction to the Padres series split vs. Arizona in San Diego. They had a five-game losing streak going into Friday night so things needed to turn around offensively and they sure did the next two games in a big way. Ha-Seong Kim, Jake Cronenworth, Kyle Higashioka, Jurickson Profar and Fernando Tatis Jr. all homered on either Friday and/or Saturday. Adam Mazur made his first home start in the series finale on Sunday afternoon.Subscribe for year round Padres/San Diego Sports content:

Manny leaves with injury, Padres swept by Angels | 604

2024/06/06

Reaction to the Padres visit to Anaheim. Matt Waldron continues to be fantastic but the offense didn't do enough to win game one (same thing for game two with Adam Mazur making his big league debut). Per Kevin Acee, this is the first time in franchise history that the Padres have lost three straight games in which their starting pitcher went at least six innings and gave up no more than one run. Dylan Cease pitched in the finale and Manny Machado had to exit after beating out a double play ball

Padres take Royals series as Darvish, Musgrove go on...

2024/06/03

Reaction to the Padres series vs. the Royals in Kansas City. San Diego made history in game one of the series, getting ELEVEN hits in one inning a night after the team went out to dinner together on their off day. Joe Musgrove was supposed to start Saturday but instead it was Randy Vasquez, as he went on the IL again with right elbow inflammation. It wasn't just him on Saturday who went on the shelf. Yu Darvish has a groin strain and will be missing time as well. Who do the Padres go to now and what

2024/05/30

Reaction to the Padres series win over the Marlins. Memorial Day may not have been a pretty win but we'll take all the wins we can get. Tuesday was a much more enjoyable win, as Matt Waldron pitched the best he's ever pitched in the big leagues and Jeremiah Estrada struck out his 11th, 12th and 13th consecutive batters to seal the shutout victory. Yu Darvish started the series finale and exited with a hamstring injury. Mike Shildt had more interesting comments postgame...Subscribe for year round

Padres lose series to Soto, Yankees | 601

Talking Friars: A San Diego Padres podcast ·

2024/05/27

Reaction to the Padres series loss vs. the Yankees at Petco Park. It was a Home Run Derby in game one with Yu Darvish on the mound, as Soto, Judge and Stanton all homered off of him and none of them were cheapies. The offense continued to struggle against lefties and the big duo of Tatis and Machado aren't providing enough power right now compared to other notable duos. Dylan Cease and Joe Musgrove pitched the two weekend games and San Diego was able to avoid the sweep. Subscribe for year round

Talking Friars: A San Diego Padres podcast ·

2024/05/23

Reaction to the Padres series win in Cincinnati vs. the Reds. Sure, they were playing their third game in almost 24 hours but the offense simply needed to be better in game one to support Joe Musgrove and the bullpen. Nick Martinez faced his former team in game two and Matt Waldron pitched in the series finale. Xander Bogaerts was placed on the IL and it seems like he'll be out for the next couple months. Jake Cronenworth played his first game at 2B in 2024. Is that the best spot to put him while

Reaction to the Padres series win vs. the Braves. Matt Waldron continued pitching well against good teams on Friday before game two got postponed to Monday.

Talking Friars: A San Diego Padres podcast ·

2024/05/16

Reaction to the Padres getting swept at home by the Rockies. There were tons of wasted opportunities in Monday's loss but a lot of the attention was on Manny Machado. Is there hope that he'll get back to being the Manny Machado we need him to be? Dylan Cease and Michael King pitched the final two games of the series and Mike Shildt had some interesting comments during the series. Subscribe for year round Padres/San Diego Sports content:

2024/05/13

Reaction to the Padres series win vs. the Dodgers at Petco Park. Luis Arraez had one heck of a moment in his home debut on Friday night. Matt Waldron did enough on Saturday but the offense wasn't good enough. Is there concern with the bridge to Robert Suarez? Yu Darvish and Walker Buehler faced off in the rubber match. Plus, did anyone see all those Dodgers fans marching through our streets? And will AJ Preller be getting a reliever soon? (Apologies for all the coughing) Subscribe for year round

Cease dominates, Padres win Cubs series | 596

Talking Friars: A San Diego Padres podcast ·

2024/05/08

Reaction to the Padres series win vs. the Cubs. Robert Suarez stepped up big time in the series opener, recording a five-out save! In game two, Jurickson Profar was going to be the hero until the bullpen couldn't keep the lead. Was Mike Shildt at fault for some of the decisions? Dylan Cease returned to Chicago to finish off the series on Wednesday before an off day and boy, was he tremendous. Subscribe for year round Padres/San Diego Sports content:

2024/05/06

Reaction to the Padres series win in Phoenix over the D-backs! You may have heard there was a big acquisition right before the series began and he arrived in time for game two on Saturday. Luis Arraez couldn't have started off his Padres tenure in a better way, becoming the first player with a four-hit game in their debut in franchise history (oh, and the offense scored 13 runs too). Dylan Cease and Michael King pitched great and Matt Waldron threw in the series finale going for the sweep. Plus,

2024/05/04

Reaction to AJ Preller's huge trade from Friday night, as he acquired Luis Arraez from the Marlins for multiple prospects and Woo Suk Go. Where might he hit in the lineup and what might this mean for other guys on the roster? Plus, the Padres got production from Fernando Tatis Jr., Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill among others to help them get a win vs. the D-backs.Subscribe for year round Padres/San Diego Sports content:

Talking Friars: A San Diego Padres podcast ·

2024/05/02

Reaction to the Padres series win vs. the Reds. The losing streak increased to five games on Monday night, as San Diego was dominated by Nick Lodolo. Yu Darvish returned on Tuesday and the offense gave him some run support. Mike Shildt made a courageous decision in game two that led to a big inning. Joe Musgrove bounced back in the series finale before Jake Cronenworth hit a much-needed granny for the win. Oh and Brian Kenny might be insane.

2024/04/29

Reaction to the Padres series disappointing series vs. the Phillies at Petco Park. Joe Musgrove hasn't looked very good this season and he took the Padres out of the game in the series opener. Manny Machado is back and not just in the lineup but at the hot corner as well. Dylan Cease couldn't match Ranger Suarez on Saturday and Mike Shildt finally made a change in the leadoff spot on Sunday with Xander Bogaerts still in the lineup.

The Padres had been playing good baseball heading into this series against the Blue Jays but like Thursday in Milwaukee, the offense didn't do much this weekend.

The Padres went from facing one of the World Series favorites to one of the best teams thus far in the National League. The Brewers sort of handed San Diego that game one victory after Joe Musgrove didn't have a great outing. Should we be concerned about him? Talk about concern...Yu Darvish is now on the IL. Jake Cronenworth left Monday's game with calf tightness so what's the latest? Dylan Cease delivered a strong outing on Tuesday and Michael King was even better in the finale but there was one

The Padres battled with the Dodgers this weekend in Los Angeles and the guy who was called irrelevant by a Dodger came through for the series win in front of a national audience. San Diego overcame a 7-3 deficit in game one for what will be one of their signature wins of 2024. Game two was delayed which made for a late and pretty disappointing night, as the offense couldn't get a runner on base until the sixth inning. Yu Darvish faced his former team on Sunday.
