Good riddance May, hello June. 

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell break down the Padres alarming numbers from May, Fernando Tatis' staggering numbers and the relief of him hitting his first home run.

The two break down the Padres lowest scoring month since 2015, and discuss Ken Rosenthal's thoughts on A.J. Preller lining up prospect capital to trade for Tarik Skubal. 

The show then welcomes in Kyle Glaser, who breaks down Jase Bowen and why shouldn't be perceived as the Padres offensive savior. Glaser reveals the Padres staggering offensive numbers, why it's currently a five-alarm fire and why A.J. Preller can't wait much longer to fix the team's offensive approach. 

Are the Padres the MLBPA's poster boy when it comes to spending money? The show discusses MLB interim director Bruce Meyer's comments on why more teams should be like the Padres and why they'll never agree to a salary cap.

Manny Machado says it can't get any worse for the Padres. Oh, yes it can. 

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss why it's a crucial homestand amid a five-game losing streak, why the disappointing Padres and Mets are mirror images of each other, and why the Padres are running out of time to figure things out. 

The two discuss how Craig Stammen's constant positive demeanor has gone over with Padres fans, how it's going over in the clubhouse, and the heat that's on the entire coaching staff.

Marty and Darren then answer additional overflow tweets from Padres fans who question why Freddy Fermin is on the roster, if they could call up Ethan Salas, why Machado continues to bat fourth, if the new owner could move some big, underperforming contracts.

Padres critical homestand, how much worse can it get? Fans sound off

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/820b493e-30a8-47ca-8bc4-b46001183fb3/transcript

The San Diego Padres are a wretched baseball team right now. 

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith discuss the Padres five-game losing streak after being swept by the Phillies. How much was Manny Machado affected by the decision to cut Nick Castellanos? The two discuss Machado's close relationship with Castellanos, his comments on the release and why on earth it makes zero sense to go with two unproven rookies in Samad Taylor and Jase Bowen. 

Yes, Padres fans want and need to vent. The show answers some questions from extremely frustrated fans on the poor offense, Manny Machado, the coaching staff and if AJ Preller is being held accountable. 

Is this a crucial homestand for the Padres and why hasn't the sale to Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones been approved yet? Darren and Marty look ahead to the upcoming homestand versus the Mets and Reds.

Are the Padres the best worst team in MLB or the worst best team? Shout-out to the Athletic's Dennis Lin. 

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell jump into the numbers from the Padres 3-6 homestand, the familiar defense of the Padres hitting coach and if this last stretch will be remembered as a. missed opportunity. 

The duo then welcomes in former Padres All-Star closer Heath Bell, who shares what stood out from the recent homestand and why the manager usually takes the fall when the team underperforms.

What's been the biggest difference in this year's Padres offense and does the team need to bunt more? Yes, the trade deadline is nearly two months away but Marty argues that Luis Arraez could somehow be the missing link.

Heath questions the Padres hitting philosophy and makes the case for Preller overpaying for a great hitting coach. Does the statistics correctly indicate what the Padres really are? Daren points out what the data reveals about the Tampa Rays and how that applies to the Padres underwhelming statistics. 

The show then opens up it's twitter mailbag to answer the biggest questions from Padres fans, including whether the new ownership group could be inclined to blow it all up, adding starting pitching, regret over the Juan Soto trade and a request to talk about anything other than the baffling Padres.
