Friar Territory: a San Diego Padres podcast

From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the San Diego Padres series loss to the Pirates on the heels of sweeping the Twins and the introductions of the new ownership group. The two discuss the shock of seeing Mason Miller give up his first home run in over a year, Miller's comments on human's being idiots sometime and why manager Craig Stammen said he was comfortable using Miller and Morejon, despite their workload.

Marty and Darren also discuss Manny Machado's bruised index finger and slumping offense, and who should bat third should Stammen drop him in the order. Spoiler alert, everyone not named Ty France and Fernando Tatis is in a slump.

The two then discuss the latest ownership news with Joe and Jesse Buss, sons of legendary Lakers owner Jerry Buss joining Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano with a 5% share of the Padres. What kind of role will they have as owners and why does it matter if they had experience in the NBA with roster construction and salary cap issues? Marty and Darren discuss the weird uncertainty that still hangs around the Padres and what this could mean in the future.

The San Diego Padres new owners are inheriting one of the hottest teams in baseball.

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith discuss the Padres sweep over the Minnesota Twins, the scorching hot Fernando Tatis after his four-hit, two home run performance, and Walker Buehler's third straight quality start. The two hear from Padres manager Craig Stammen on the three-game sweep and why Buehler can smell the postseason.

Darren and Marty hit the biggest takeaways from a busy weekend, the latest on Casey Mize's weird sprained ankle injury, Randy Vasquez's strong statement to stay in the Padres rotation, and the next step for Joe Musgrove. How are the Padres players reacting to the upcoming official introduction of the team's new owners, led by Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano?

The two hear from Manny Machado and Joe Musgrove, and discuss the big uncertainty on how the ownership group will operate. What kind of relationship will Jones and Feliciano have inside the clubhouse and will remotely resemble the special relationship Peter Seidler had with players such as Machado, Tatis and Musgrove?

Marty and Darren hear from an optimistic and upbeat Tatis on anticipation for the new ownership group, and the team and city they are buying into.

The heat is on.

The San Diego Padres return back home for six big games against the Minnesota Twins and Pittsburgh Pirates as they remain in the thick of the National League wild card chase.

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith welcome in Kyle Glaser to break down the wild card playoff picture, the reasons for the Padres second half surge and who the most dangerous team in the playoff picture is. Glaser breaks down the different reasons for the Padres second half surge, why Luis Campusano has been their most consistent hitter and how he rates defensively behind the plate. That leads to the discussion of the Padres contemplating calling up Ethan Salas and why it does or doesn't make sense.

Darren, Marty and Kyle discuss the merits of calling up Salas, the learning process and what kind of impact he would really have on a playoff race. Glaser also discusses the strange story of Ketel Marte
no-showing for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and what kind of impact that has on their wild card chase.

The three then discuss the end of the Peter Seidler and the indelible impact he had on San Diego and the entire Padres organization.

Are you not entertained???

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres series loss to the New York Mets, the hard-luck Michael King, and the electrifying Fernando Tatis Jr. Some players are built for the spotlight, Tatis is one of them.

The two discuss his incredible grand-slam robbery and two-HR game versus the Mets and why this is the Tatis the Padres have been waiting for. For everything the Padres said about Tatis' production when he wasn't slugging, this is the version of Tatis that could propel the Padres into the playoffs.

Marty and Darren then discuss an important factor for the Padres with Casey Mize, Walker Buehler, Robbie Ray and Michael King producing four straight quality wins for the Padres. The two discuss Joe Musgrove making another rehab start and what Nick Pivetta is doing in Arizona.

Darren and Marty then read tweets from Padres fans, who discuss whether their perspective on the team has changed from a month ago, when the Padres were under .500 and fans were questioning if they should sell at the deadline.

The sale of the San Diego to Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano is now complete.

The two then discuss the Padres 2-1 loss to the New York Mets, having four baserunners thrown out at home plate, and how much the team's outlook has changed since trading for Casey Mize and Robbie Ray.
