Who's ready for Padres versus the Dodgers?

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith break down the biggest takeaways from the Padres sweep of the Seattle Mariners, the sizzling Gavin Sheets and the impact of Lucas Giolito's strong debut on the Padres rotation. 

While Sheets was a one-man wrecking crew on the Mariners, a lot of the same questions still remain about the Padres offense. Darren and Marty discuss the scrutiny around hitting coach Steven Souza, and how his players are defending the information he gives them. The duo discuss Craig Stammen's defense of his hitting coach and why Souza isn't necessarily to blame for the Padres offensive issues.

 Darren and Marty then jump into the pitching matchup during the Padres and Dodgers series, the staggering difference in the Padres and Dodgers's offensive numbers, what to expect at Petco Park, why it's not just another series and if it could bring something else out of the normally stoic Craig Stammen.

Sizzling Sheets helps Padres sweep Mariners, now bring on the Dodgers

What do we make of the San Diego Padres at the one-third mark of the season after their latest shutout by the Philadelphia Phillies? 

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the RISP disaster, Manny Machado's candor about the blame falling on him, and manager Craig Stammen's comments on looking for answers. 

How patient will A.J. Preller as the the offensive woes of the 31-22 Padres continue? Darren points out the success the Phillies have had after firing Rob Thompson and promoting Don Mattingly, and wonders if the Padres could make internal changes. 

We hear from manager Craig Stammen on how he assesses the Padres offense, and why he still thinks they're close. If you're looking for any silver linings from the Padres 3-0 loss to the Phillies, Griffin Canning was solid and perhaps there's more optimism on Joe Musgrove resuming some baseball activities. 

The Padres have seen some good signs from Fernando Tatis. The duo discuss whether the recent ruling on his Big League Advance lawsuit has been a distraction.

Another Padres and Dodgers game, another intense, one-run thriller.

The show then welcomes in ESPN's Alden Gonzalez, who discusses how the Padres and Dodgers match up, why he believes Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill will hit, and the concerns over Fernando Tatis' ongoing struggles. 

Alden continues the conversation on how ABS is changing the game, the reactions from inside Petco Park, Shohei Ohtani's upcoming start versus the Padres and what the Dodgers are doing differently to keep him fresh during the season. 

Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano were at Petco Park on Tuesday night. Alden says he expects them to invest in the Padres and open up the purse strings to give them a chance to win big this season.
