Friar Territory: a San Diego Padres podcast

Fernando Tatis walks off the San Diego Padres with his first home run of the season at Petco Park!

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres big win, and why some players felt it may have been their most important win of the season following a terrible extra-inning loss on Tuesday night.

We hear from Fernando Tatis on his home run, if he's finally being rewarded and how big a spark Samad Taylor has been for the Padres offense.

The duo also discuss the visible frustration from Padres fans following a very disappointing homestand, the cursing vitriol directed at the players following Tuesday night's loss and what Stammen had to say about the interaction.

Where does Samad Taylor fit on this Padres roster? Marty and Darren look ahead at a long upcoming road trip then answer your tweets about fan frustration, Manny Machado's disappointing season, and the uncertainty of the next ownership group.

Where would the San Diego Padres be without Jase Bowen and Samad Taylor? Ok, we're kind of joking.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the early impact and energy by newcomers Bowen and Taylor in the Padres win over the Reds. How much has this team missed bunting and small ball? The show also discusses Freddy Fermin's third straight game with home run, and what manager Craig Stammen said about his confidence and defense.

The Padres will be without another one of their regulars after Xander Bogaerts was placed in the injured list and Will Wagner was recalled. The duo discuss Bogaerts missing his own bobblehead night, and previous bobblehead misses in Padres history.

Craig Stammen was asked about how aggressive he expects A.J. Preller to be given the team's offensive struggles and injuries. The duo discuss a new segment, "Preller On The Prowl" as he looks to upgrade the roster ahead of the trade deadline. Marty and Darren discuss how difficult that task might be, given the Padres transfer in ownership may not be completed until later this summer.

Manny Machado says it can't get any worse for the Padres. Oh, yes it can.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss why it's a crucial homestand amid a five-game losing streak, why the disappointing Padres and Mets are mirror images of each other, and why the Padres are running out of time to figure things out.

The two discuss how Craig Stammen's constant positive demeanor has gone over with Padres fans, how it's going over in the clubhouse, and the heat that's on the entire coaching staff.

Marty and Darren then answer additional overflow tweets from Padres fans who question why Freddy Fermin is on the roster, if they could call up Ethan Salas, why Machado continues to bat fourth, if the new owner could move some big, underperforming contracts.

The San Diego Padres are a wretched baseball team right now.

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith discuss the Padres five-game losing streak after being swept by the Phillies. How much was Manny Machado affected by the decision to cut Nick Castellanos? The two discuss Machado's close relationship with Castellanos, his comments on the release and why on earth it makes zero sense to go with two unproven rookies in Samad Taylor and Jase Bowen.

Yes, Padres fans want and need to vent. The show answers some questions from extremely frustrated fans on the poor offense, Manny Machado, the coaching staff and if AJ Preller is being held accountable.

Is this a crucial homestand for the Padres and why hasn't the sale to Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones been approved yet? Darren and Marty look ahead to the upcoming homestand versus the Mets and Reds.

Good riddance May, hello June.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell break down the Padres alarming numbers from May, Fernando Tatis' staggering numbers and the relief of him hitting his first home run.

The two break down the Padres lowest scoring month since 2015, and discuss Ken Rosenthal's thoughts on A.J. Preller lining up prospect capital to trade for Tarik Skubal.

The show then welcomes in Kyle Glaser, who breaks down Jase Bowen and why shouldn't be perceived as the Padres offensive savior. Glaser reveals the Padres staggering offensive numbers, why it's currently a five-alarm fire and why A.J. Preller can't wait much longer to fix the team's offensive approach.

Are the Padres the MLBPA's poster boy when it comes to spending money? The show discusses MLB interim director Bruce Meyer's comments on why more teams should be like the Padres and why they'll never agree to a salary cap.
