Losin the Faith - A San Diego Padres Baseball Podcast

The Padres erased all the faith gained from series wins against the Cubs, Dodgers, and Braves by getting swept by the Rockies. This week we stat check some hot takes with surprising results, talk Xander's absence, and if the Padres will ever break through the .500 barrier.

This week we look back at the Philly, Cincy, and D-bags series. Some good some bad. We talk about Preller's latest move and potential moves to come. We share our fave Padres from the last 3 series, play some trivia, and talk about what we've seen from Mike Schildt. Dare I say some signs of life and reasons for optimism...dare I?

This week we debate if the 2024 Padres are contenders or just good enough to sell tickets, Joe Musgrove's continued struggles is a move to the bullpen an option, Jackson's early success is it sustainable, errors errors errors, and Xander Bogarts lack luster offense.

We get banned from the Dodgers sub Redit, overreact to the opening home stand, and BS about what like and don't like about the opening home series.

We recorded this before AJ pulled an AJ and traded a bunch of talent for a couple year rental. So we're not talking about that on this episode. We do talk about HS Kim, the farm, the rotation before Cease, and bitch about Scott Boras.

We're back after a few months away. The stank of the 2023 season is mostly gone. This week we're talking offseason and lack of offseason moves. New players and expectations for the 2024 season.

The most disappointing season in Padres history is almost over. This week we talk about the Kevin Acee Tribune article, pending free agents, the current playoff chances, and the toxic front office. It's almost over,

Worst case scenario realized. The 2023 Padres are the most disappointing Padres team in history. We talk about what might have gone wrong and the outlook for next season. Will Melvin be back, will the Padres add, and what happens to the big name free agents? Go 2024 Padres.

Playoff baseball is here. The Pads need to win every series from this moment forward. This team is a conundrum and we can't decide if it's hilarious or pathetic. Machado needs to go to the Beastmode school of talking to the media, Adam joins the dark side, Ryan attempts positivity, and David shows his faith.

We try our best to figure out if the Padres have a leader. Adam contributes to an immaculate grid attempt, Ryan ends the episode on a positive note, and David doesn't think its early anymore.

Not the best. I was in a shitty mood, David and Adam were not in shitty moods and the those two things collided. Not proud of this one but hiding from an off night is a bitch move. You hear that Padres, deflecting attention away from you shitty play with catchy sound bites is a bitch move. Anyway, the next one will be better.

Are the Padres buyers or sellers at the deadline? If you want the answer listen to a different Podcast. We have no clue, but it was fun speculating about what they'll do at the deadline.

The Pads went into the Allstar break on a high note and we haven't had this much fun on an episode since the team was still above .500. The Allstar break did us some good, let's hope it does the same good for the team.

Just when we thought the Giant's series was bottom the Nationals come to town. Just when we thought the Nationals series was bottom the Pittsburgh series happens. Have the Padres reached bottom yet? Let's hope so.

This week we talk about how the Padres look like a different team and discuss if this is for-real or another false start? Adam is optimistic despite his best effort to be "cautiously optimistic". Ryan has concerns about the lineup as constructed and David surprises us with some unexpected facts. Let's talk Padres.

Sorry to everyone who listens, we all had some life stuff get in the way of doing the Pod but we're back and talking Pads. This week Adam crushes on scary Garry, Ryan mourns the loss of productive padres farm hands, and David finds a couple rays of sun shine. Let's go.

A quarter of the season is done, the Padres have played terrible baseball. How terrible you ask, historically terrible. David tries to find the positives, Adam doesn't say statistical positive regression once, and Ryan has lots of opinions. Come commiserate with us.

Sorry it took so long but without further delay the boys talk about the first Loss Angeles series of the season. Ryan is back to bring the boys back to reality, Adam's toxic positivity is wearing thin, David brings a voice of reason to the show. Let's get after it.

David is back, Ryan is out, and Adam is Adam. Adam does his best Ryan impression and David brings some logic and reasoning back to the Podcast. Nola still sucks, and Ashcraft was an ace, Adam.

Padres had a great weekend in Mexico city. Has the team turned the corner or this just a high altitude short stadium tease. Adam and Ryan discuss the weekend series without real stats or good sense because David is out. David will be back later this week to be the voice of reason and common sense. Anyway, buckle up, it's a weird one.

After the 1-2 Cubs series Adam and Ryan look for some good, but let's be real it's ugly out there. Ryan gives a Ted talk on why Soto is overrated, shares some tinfoil hat trade theories and Adam tries really hard to be positive. Spoiler alert there isn't much good.

The Braves series was tough but it was great to see the Pads take 3-4 in AZ. Is this the start of a breakout or does the outcome not reflect the performance? Ryan compliments Blake Snell, Adam tries to defend his trivia streak, and David commits trade talk treason. Come hangout and talk Padres with us.

Padres are making it easy to lose faith. This week with so many players struggling Ryan questions the a padres ability to develop talent, Adam tries to defend his trivia win streak, and David wonders when all the free bases are going to stop. Tough last week. On the plus side Tatis is mashing and we can't wait to see him on Thursday.

This week Ryan talks the starting rotation, Adam gets a W, and we find a stat that drives David crazy. Let's talk padres baseball.

The first series of the 23 season was a mixed bag. Opening day was bad, game two was a beating, and games 3 and 4 we're better. Ryan proposes a radical new pitching strategy, Adam wins trivia, and David goes deep on Soto's home run trot stats. Let's get weird and talks pads. If you want to suggest a discussion topic or talk a little shit email us at losinthefaith@gmail.com with the subject line "Bleacher Creatures".

Adam and Ryan had to vent some game 2 frustration. It's not all bad, but it's mostly not good.

Opening day sucked, Ryan is disappointed in Bob Melvin, Adam makes excuses, David hates on the pitch clock. The expectations are high and the Pads fell flat to open the 2023 season and we vent a little frustration.

On this weeks episode Ryan is lost for words, David has a shocking CY Young candidate, and Adam cheats at trivia. Come hangout with us and as always if you want to send us a topic to discuss, feedback, or shit talk email us at losinthefaith@gmail.com subject line "Bleacher Creature Comments"

We're back for another season of Padres baseball. For those stumbling across this for the first time, we're three life long childhood friends and Padre fans that enjoy talking Padres baseball almost as much as talking shit to each other. This week Adam talks kettlebells, Ryan talks feelings, and David throws shade at Xandiego.

LFG Padres! This week, we talk the Loss Angeles series, look forward to the NLCS vs the Phillies, do a little trivia, and practice our goose calls. Adam has a vision, David calls out Dodger fans for buying Pads gear, and Ryan has to apologize for being wrong...again. Go PADS!

This week we talk about the Playoffs Pads domination of the pretender Mets. The utter lack of faith from their fans, "gamesmanship", Joe's ears, and look froward to the Dodger series, LETS GO!

Pads make the playoffs, David talks numbers from last week, Ryan dominates name that Padre, and Adam over estimates his over under dominance, we talk playoff matchups, the Bleacher Creatures ask a few questions, and Adam provides a stat and then gets made about stats. Come hangout while we talk Pads baseball.

We recap Padre baseball from last week and look towards this week. We talk about the lack of home runs, play a tough round of name that padre, answer a couple bleacher creatures questions and Adam can't math, Ryan drops an edible, and David calls out Snell's KD on COD as we restore a little faith on The Losin the Faith Show.

Welcome to Losing the Faith, a weekly San Diego Padres podcast. This week we play name that friar, stats make Adam hard, Ryan crushes on an 18 year old, and David makes us go "Huh". Come hangout with us while we talk Padres Baseball.
