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.
