On Friar, An NBC 7 Padres Podcast

Are the Padres back? The offense has been more consistent and the stars are showing up, as they did on the way to becoming the first team to sweep the Braves. The rotation still has its questions. JP Sears had an impressive debut. Michael King resembled Michael King. And Walker Buehler has been rock solid. Can he keep it going against his old club? The guys look ahead to another visit from the Dodgers.

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 got swept for the first time, capping a homestand where they were straight up miserable at the plate with runners in scoring position. How down bad is this club right now? And who are they really? Merrill did get a couple hits, Tatis has produced and Manny has gone deep - are they coming around? Steven Sousa Jr. is facing criticism - fair or not?

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?

If not for a couple game changing swings from Nick Castellanos and Gavin Sheets the Padres would really be having a lousy week. They went out with a whimper Thursday in Milwaukee, in a game that saw Griffin Canning get shelled. Matt Waldron is headed to the bullpen, with Lucas Giolito on his way. The guys discuss the evolving rotation, and the struggling lineup. What's going wrong? And does anyone have any clue how to fix it? Plus - postgame coverage of M's-Padres is coming Sunday night on NBC 7!
