The San Diego Padres are playing some pretty bad baseball to start the final month of the regular season. 

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith discussed the team's dismal 1-5 roadtrip after the series loss to the Cincinnati Reds, another rough outing by Casey Mize and why the Padres chose to give Ethan Salas his first major league start behind the plate with a pitcher he had never caught before. 

The two then discussed the double whammy of bad news after Craig Stammen discussed a setback for Joe Musgrove, who is dealing with elbow fatigue after his latest rehab start. Will Musgrove pitch again in 2026? Why did Craig Stammen decide to give Manny Machado an off-day versus the Reds with the Padres badly needing a win? 

Darren and Marty discussed the Padres strange lineup in the series finale, and why they're done seeing Fernando Tatis at second base. Marty and Darren then hear from frustrated Padres fans, who weigh in on what concerns them the most about this Padres team which just over three weeks to go in the regular season.
