Well, this isn't good. The Padres got swept in Tampa then dropped a series in Cincy. Familiar flaws have shown up on offense, while the bullpen has suddenly become shaky. Casey Mize's struggles continued. And Joe Musgrove's status for 2026 is now in doubt. Darnay catches up with Sports Illustrated MLB writer Ryan Phillips. What do we think of Ethan Salas' arrival? And how are we feeling about the Padres' Wild Card chase?
After a weekend sweep the Padres met their bold new owners, the vibes were great - and then that Pirates series happened. Derek and Darnay discuss what went wrong, and where there are areas of concern. What's going on with Manny? And what have we seen from Merrill? There were encouraging pitching performances, and updates on a few key arms. Mason Miller gave up a homer, but responded like a stud. Plus, Jose and Kwanza are here.
This club is on fire right now! A sweep of the team with the best record in the National League, capped by Campy's first career walk off. Pretty much everyone is hitting, and the rotation has turned in some fine performances. Derek and Darnay discuss the vibes around the team, and what we should take from their hot streak. How should we feel about the postseason race? Is Ethan Salas coming up before September? And it looks like the new owners could be in place this time next week.
The Padres addressed their biggest need by adding a familiar face. Robbie Ray just shoved at Petco Park, and has been red hot. Then just before the buzzer A.J. Preller brought Casey Mize to town. Both are having strong seasons, and join a rotation in dire need of reinforcements. Derek and Darnay discuss the additions, who it cost to get them - as well as the players who are sticking around for a playoff push.
The Padres have won five straight games and suddenly the Wild Card landscape looks a lot more gettable. So what will A.J. Preller pull off this time? Derek and Darnay discuss what we've seen from the team the last five games. How big of a buyer could they be? The rotation is the most glaring need, but where else could they upgrade? And what does the team have to offer in a trade? What potential trade targets could be in the Padres' price range? And what is the club's potential if they plug the necessary holes on the roster?

For all intents and purposes the playoffs start now for the Padres. If they don't turn it on to start the second half, they probably won't buy and might just sell at the deadline. If they prove they're a postseason team AJ Preller will load up for a run at the Wild Card. With the All-Star break winding down Derek and Darnay discuss the make or break road trip and give predictions for the Padres' second half.
Is the worst behind the Padres? Sure hope so. A dreadful eight days left them with a lot of work to do in the Wild Card race. This week the club appears to have shaken off the slump. And they need that to continue into and beyond the All-Star break. Jake Cronenworth and Luis Campusano are back and have provided some impactful swings. The lineup erupted Wednesday against Arizona. Starting pitching remains an issue, but a few arms have turned in stellar performances. Are they moving in the right direction? Derek and Darnay discuss that and implications heading ahead of the Trade Deadline.
Suddenly things have gotten bleak. The Cubs handed the Padres an embarrassing beatdown, pushing their losing streak to five games. And now they visit the Dodgers. Where have things gone so terribly wrong? And is there anything they can really do about it? What does this mean for the trade deadline? And what would that mean for a playoff push? Derek joins Darnay from Dodger Stadium to discuss.
For the second straight week the Padres got swept by the Phillies. Manny and Merrill homered in the finale, but that won't distract anyone from the club's continued struggles at the plate. What hope is there for this group to get it going again? And at what point is it time to consider some serious changes? Derek and Darnay assess the damage, try to make sense of the slump, and ponder some fixes.
The Padres took some steps in Seattle, then battled the Dodgers. But Wednesday's series finale came with a familiar twinge of disappointment. Derek and Darnay look back at the last week and weigh the good and the bad. Tatis is still struggling. The supporting cast continues to come up big. Manny homered! But the stars are still finding their way. Michael King shoved and Griffin Canning sorta bounced back. And Lucas Giolito performed. Mason Miller is human. How're we feeling?

The bidding war for the Padres has reportedly been won by Jose E. Feliciano and his wife Kwanza Jones. At the price of $3.9 billion! Derek and Darnay discuss the news, what it means for the club and the city and what we know about the billionaire Chelsea owner.
The Padres had to leave home to find themselves. Or at least to figure out how to win some games. What clicked for the Friars in a successful first road trip? Derek and Darnay talk about who emerged, and some star power we're still waiting to show up. What do we hope to see in their return to Petco? And will anyone score a run off Mason Miller again? Plus, the new City Connects dropped! The guys share their thoughts on the Dia de los Muertos inspired threads that will debut Friday night.
The Padres have typically given fans reason to celebrate on Opening Day, but 2026 did not start on a positive note. Detroit took the air out of the building in the first inning, and Tarik Skubal kept the Friars in check for six frames. Darnay and Todd recap the 8-2 loss in an Opening Day edition of Sports Night in San Diego. Hear from Craig Stammen, Nick Pivetta and more after the loss. The guys share their thoughts on the lineup, an early test for Stammen's pitching staff, and big picture impressions of the club, and a touching tribute to Randy Jones. Plus, some new features we'll be seeing around Petco Park this season.
The WBC is over, the stars are back in Peoria and there is one week left before Opening Day. Darnay is joined by Sports Illustrated's Ryan Phillips to hit on the top storylines as the 2026 season approaches. How did we feel about Mason Miller and the end of the WBC? What should we expect from Tatis after a strong performance? The rotation is limping to the start line. How should we feel with Game 1 right around the corner?
Suddenly there are a lot more games on to keep Padre fans entertained. Sammy Levitt joins Darnay from Peoria to discuss developments with the big league club and the arrival of WBC action. How did Walker Buehler look in his Padres spring debut? Joe Musgrove finally returned to the mound - the guys examine his first performance post Tommy John. The bats erupted Thursday. Who has impressed while the stars are representing their countries in the WBC? And who should hit leadoff? Meanwhile, the games have begun - and they started with an explosive performance from Tatis, Manny and the Dominican Republic.
Initial bids are in for the Padres, and they include an ownership group headed up by a Hall of Fame QB. Drew Brees has teamed up with the CEO of Vuori to make a run at the Friars. Darnay discusses the surprising development with Sports Illustrated MLB Writer Ryan Phillips. He explains why fans should feel really good about the direction the sale is headed. What bidder is he most interested in at this point? The WBC arrives next week and Manny Machado looks ready. Should we be worried about how the Padres will start this season because of what happened after the 2023 WBC? Have we discovered one clear difference between Craig Stammen and Mike Shildt? The new skipper is experimenting with the Padres lineup. Darnay and Ryan discuss one possible starting point.

After an eventful few days in December things quieted down on the Padres front. The New Year is here and Spring Training is only about a month away - so what on earth is going on? Derek and Darnay discuss the state of the team and the possible avenue for rounding out the roster. Preller is no stranger to making moves during Spring Training, are we going to have to be really patient? Is a reunion with Arraez coming? How do we feel about the current state of the roster? One MLB Insider says they've moved backwards.
Craig Stammen put the Padres uniform on again Monday morning, this time as San Diego's manager. Darnay and Todd discuss what we heard, why A.J. Preller felt comfortable handing the clubhouse to the former reliever, and what big questions remain. Stammen admitted a learning curve is ahead. He says he'll keep the club on the path set by Mike Shildt. What role will Ruben Niebla have going forward? And is there any clarity on Preller's future?

We've had a week to digest the Padres' early postseason exit. Derek and Darnay assess the 2025 season, and the factors in their Wild Card loss. John Seidler issued a letter to fans, will he speak to reporters about his vision for the club moving forward? When will we hear from A.J. Preller? What do the Padres need to do to take a step forward in October? And some early thoughts on who might be staying and who might be going.

That was a bummer. Former Padre Greg Garcia joins Darnay to discuss the season ending loss. Game 3 of the Wild Card Series resulted in another low-scoring loss, perhaps a fitting ending to what was at points a frustrating season. The stars at the top of the order didn't deliver, and the Padres couldn't hit with runners in scoring position. There was a regrettable moment for Luis Arraez, and an unbelievable strike three call against Xander Bogaerts. The bullpen was great, but Dansby Swanson played out of his mind.
The Padres got cozy at Wrigley Monday, and Game 1 is fast approaching. Darnay and Todd look ahead to their Wild Card Series against the Cubs. Nick Pivetta has a chance to set the tone. How are we feeling about Dylan Cease in a crucial start? What did Pivetta, Mike Shildt and Manny Machado have to say? Shildt has been preparing his team for playoff baseball all season. Can the Padres overcome their struggles on the road? And how will the next three days help define the 2025 season?

The Wrap. Darnay Tripp From NBC 7 Talks Padres And More.
The Padres haven't been in first place this late in the season in 15 years! They pummeled Bob Melvin's old club to reach the top spot in the NL West. Now first place will truly be on the line this weekend at Dodger Stadium. Mike Shildt's club has that second half look again. Pitching has been lights out and everyone in the lineup is doing damage. Derek and Darnay size up the division rivals, and how different they look heading into this series compared to what we saw earlier in the year. Is Dave Roberts gonna try to stir something up again? What Padres do we expect to stand out? Can Derek guess the 2010 lineup from the last time San Diego was alone in first at this point? And Thursday brought bad news for one scheduled starter.

A.J. Preller is a mad man. We'll figure out the future when it comes, for now the focus is on 2025 and the pursuit of a World Series. Hello Mason Miller, goodbye Leo De Vries. Dylan Cease and Robert Suarez are still Padres. Ryan O'Hearn and Ramon Laureano bolster the lineup. Plus Fermin, Wagner and Cortes! Wow, that was wild. Derek and Darnay discuss, and pass along what Preller had to say to reporters about his deadline haul.
We're still waiting for the first move, but rumors are picking up around the Padres. Darnay checks in with Jon & Jim to see how they're feeling a week out from the MLB Trade Deadline. Is a Dylan Cease trade a given? What about Robert Suarez? Jake Cronenworth? Is Sandy Alcantara a real possibility? What about Steven Kwan? How could the deadline and the months that follow impact A.J. Preller's future? And will the rest of the season look more like 2024 or 2021?
The All-Star break is winding down and the second half is nearly here. Derek and Darnay share their thoughts on this week's festivities before diving into some second half predictions. Who will shine? Who will slump? What will A.J. Preller do at the deadline? And will it all add up to a season as exciting as the last, or as discouraging as 2023?
Woodsy and Paul kick off the 7am hour by welcoming one of Ben's counterparts as NBC 7's Darnay Tripp returns to the show to talk Padres, SDFC, and talk about the show's trip to his beloved Philadelphia!

How would you grade the Padres after the first half? And how are we feeling about the outlook for the coming months? Who better to ask than former Friar Greg Garcia? What would he tell Jackson Merrill during his slump? He discusses Manny Machado's pursuit of history and Fernando Tatis Jr.'s missing power. And how important is it to start the second half on a strong note? Derek and Darnay also talk about Dylan Cease's struggles, the catcher conundrum and a couple rumors that have gained traction.

The Padres continue to spin their wheels, heading into the final homestand of the first half. With four weeks to go until the Trade Deadline, both Derek and Darnay have the same idea for the Friars. Is it time to move on from Dylan Cease? Robert Suarez? A swap of catchers makes a ton of sense, maybe involving a former fan favorite (or two?). Plus, Xander Bogaerts continues to produce. Manny is an All-Star starter. And Fernando Tatis Jr. is still floundering.
The Padres won back-to-back series to finish .500 over a 26 game in 27 day stretch. Perfectly mid feels about right! Mike Shildt loves his team even more after the last our weeks, Derek and Darnay assess the stretch. Shildt toyed with the lineup. Xander Bogaerts is dinged up, while Michael King and Yu Darvish are making progress. Plus, some thoughts on potential trade targets as the deadline approaches.
