Cette semaine sur le podcast, Xavier et Zac reçoivent Christophe Bogaerts qui vient nous raconter 2 vérités et un mensonge. Raconte-nous des histoires croustillantes pour passer dans le Segment Pepperoni!
Ben & Woods start the 8am hour by talking about some of their favorite boardgames to play when they were younger, after we saw Dylan Cease boarding the team bus on Sunday with a Monopoly game in his hands? Then we play today's game of Take On Woods before the guys discuss when Xander Bogaerts may return to the Padres lineup, and we have an update on the team's television deal. Listen here!
The weekend crews, sans birthday Jack, recap a frustrating series for the Boston Red Sox in San Diego.Riding the high of a good Walker Buehler outing, the Red Sox get a meltdown in Game 2 from Lucas Giolito and a deceptively bad pitching line in Game 3 from Brayan Bello. Regardless, the offense put up 10 runs in Game 1, only to score six combined in the final two.Jordan and Brian also talk about the ramifications of there being a lockout in 2027, regardless of how much game action is missed and both ultimately pray the season isn't as altered as it appears destined for presently.Lastly, the duo previews the upcoming series in Houston.Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.

Ben & Woods start the 8am hour with Woodsy broadcasting from his vacation home in Hawaii, and the guys talk about how Xander Bogaerts has quietly become one of the best hitters in the entire National League. Then we get to a game of "Take On Woods" before the guys are joined by Padres broadcaster Jesse Agler fresh off of calling last night's walk-off victory over the Mets! Listen here!
From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Xander Bogaerts is back on the podcast, this time sitting down with Bradfo just hours before the San Diego shortstop went 4-for-4 with a home run against the Dodgers. The conversation centers on Bogaerts' view of the trade of his good friend Rafael Devers, and how he viewed that entire situation. After the Bogaerts conversation, we give a reporter (Julian McWilliams) and fan (Trey Daubert) the opportunity to vent about what has made them the most angry regarding the whole Devers situation.

Ben, Woods, and Paulie are here for you on a Wednesday morning! We start the show with a little bit of foreplay as Woodsy shares the parenting dilemma he is in with Beau and his summer baseball camp. Then we dive right into the Padres talk with yet another conversation about Xander Bogaerts continuing to not live up to expectations before we bring you the lowlights from last night's 8-6 loss in Los Angeles. Listen here
Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking about Fernando Tatis Jr's body language and Xander Bogaerts' contract, and it turns into quite the sports talk radio debate. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before the guys are joined by our buddy Rob Bradford who hosts the "Baseball Isn't Boring" podcast out of Boston! Listen here!
We're going live to break down a packed day in sports: ⚾ Xander Bogaerts & Manny Machado power the Padres to a big series win
We're going live to break down a packed day in sports: ⚾ Xander Bogaerts & Manny Machado power the Padres to a big series win
Los Padres de San Diego han mostrado de qué están hechos tras poco más de un mes de temporada en MLB. Fernando Tatis ha provisto de consistencia al equipo mientras que Manny Machado y Bogaerts experimentan altibajos ante las ausencias por lesión de Luis Arráez, Jackson Merrill y Jake Cronenworth. Érik Ocaranza, Rafael Tablado y Toto Zúñiga se reunieron a compartir lo que hasta ahora ha brindado la temporada tanto en puntos altos como en cuestiones por mejorar.
Ben & Paul kick off the 7am hour by talking about Kevin Acee's latest story in the Union Tribune about Xander Bogaerts, and the guys discuss IF and WHEN Xander Bogaerts may turn things around and at least somewhat resemble the hitter he was with the Boston Red Sox. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we are joined by SDFC broadcaster Darren Smith for our weekly conversation who is all the way out in Spain this week! Listen here!
Ben & Woods kick off the 9am hour talking about Xander Bogaerts' struggles during his time with the Padres, and what, if anything, the team can do right now with him. Then we hear how hosting "Coastal Country Night" went for Woodsy on Saturday night before we wrap up the show with The Reindl Report and Paulie's top stories of the morning, including SDFC's home loss and the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Listen here!
The Padres got out of Sacramento with a series win. But some injury concerns will follow them back to Petco Park? Mike Shildt said Jake Cronenworth and Fernando Tatis Jr. are moving in the right direction. Hard not to worry about Tatis, right? Plus, Merrill's balky hamstring. Bogaerts is doing some good things. Robert Suarez is a stud. The 2025 Padres look a lot like the 2024 Padres. Highs and lows from the first road trip of the season with a sneaky important week ahead.

Sammy Levitt returns to share what he learned in Dallas at Winter Meetings. We finally heard from Roki Sasaki's camp - was there any news of substance amongst all the noise? The Padres might need to deal Dylan Cease. And are teams hitting up A.J. Preller about Xander Bogaerts?! Plus - Juan Soto signs a massive contract. Pitchers are moving at a high price. And we can finally stop fantasizing about Garrett Crochet, thank goodness.
What happens when a passion for skateboarding meets a life of public service? Join us as we navigate the fascinating journey of John Bogaerts, a former professional skateboarder turned dedicated police officer. Along with his close-knit friends Mike Cossettini and Sean Mussett, known affectionately as Gravel Burns, John takes us back to the birth of the Newcastle skateboarding scene. From the early days at Bar Beach in 1979, where fiberglass quarter pipes first made their mark, to the vibrant community that blossomed from these beginnings, we reminisce about the friendships and experiences that defined this era.We explore the impact of missions to the USA, and icons like Lee Ralph and Gregor Rankin on Newcastle's skating standards. John shares stories of regular road trips to Mona Vale vert ramp, the sheer excitement of competing at the infamous Ridge Street ramp in Mereweather, and then the iconic Bowl-a-rama events at Bondi many years later against the likes of Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero and Kevin Staab.This episode is somewhat of a heartfelt exploration of the many facets of a skater's life, including John's transition to law enforcement and the eventual reconnection to his skateboarding roots. John discusses the thrill of premier skate facilities emerging from bold visions and the camaraderie of community-driven events like the Australian Bowl Riding Championships. There's a full video production this week in which John shares never before seen archival pictures and footage.
