Thanks to Moonball Media, former Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer joins Ben Fadden to discuss what went down during his Padres tenure, including why he signed here in the first place, if he tried to improve when he was struggling, how he viewed Andy Green and Jayce Tingler being hired back-to-back, how AJ Preller goes about his business and more!

Plus, a great conversation between Eric Hosmer, Fernando Tatis Jr., Jurickson Profar and others is out.

The Padres had been playing good baseball heading into this series against the Blue Jays but like Thursday in Milwaukee, the offense didn't do much this weekend. We saw Mike Shildt's first ejection as Padres manager, Graham Pauley getting called back up and the continued struggles of Xander Bogaerts--until he homered Sunday. What other takeaways were there from this series?

Darnay Tripp of NBC 7 San Diego joins the show to discuss the Padres good start, what he's noticing is different from last year, how the Padres have competed with the Dodgers so far, if Jackson Merrill will win the Rookie of the Year, seeing Tommy Pham sign with the lowly White Sox and if we should be concerned about some guys in the rotation.

The Padres went from facing one of the World Series favorites to one of the best teams thus far in the National League. The Brewers sort of handed San Diego that game one victory after Joe Musgrove didn't have a great outing. Should we be concerned about him? Talk about concern...Yu Darvish is now on the IL. Jake Cronenworth left Monday's game with calf tightness so what's the latest? Dylan Cease delivered a strong outing on Tuesday and Michael King was even better in the finale but there was one problem...

The Padres battled with the Dodgers this weekend in Los Angeles and the guy who was called irrelevant by a Dodger came through for the series win in front of a national audience. San Diego overcame a 7-3 deficit in game one for what will be one of their signature wins of 2024. Game two was delayed which made for a late and pretty disappointing night, as the offense couldn't get a runner on base until the sixth inning. Yu Darvish faced his former team on Sunday. Plus, Tommy Pham reportedly has found a home...

Ben Fadden gives you his thoughts on the San Diego Padres wild series against the Chicago Cubs. What mainly made this series wild was game one on Monday night, as you have to know by now that the Padres were down 8-0 but still ended up finding a way to win it. So much for that being the turning point though because the offense was quiet in game two and some homers were hit by Chicago. Dylan Cease went in the rubber match and looks like the Dylan Cease we all wanted.

The Padres faced the Giants for the second time in the last week or so and this time a split wasn't possible with the three-game series. Dylan Cease gave San Diego his first quality start of the year but it went to waste, as the offense failed to come through enough when they had the chances. Michael King pitched great in game two and Matt Waldron did his job on Sunday but it ended up not mattering when all things were said and done. Onto the Cubs series back at home.

Ben Fadden sits down with San Diego Sports 760's Jon Schaffer to discuss some encouraging and concerning starts from Padres players, how refreshing it is to see some homegrown talent be impactful at the big league level, if the Padres deserve to be talked about more, what move Jon would make if he was GM for a day and how impressive the San Diego State basketball program has been over the last couple of seasons.

Reaction to the San Diego Padres three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals at Petco Park. Matt Waldron wasn't good enough in game one but Yu Darvish provided the Padres with the first seven inning outing of the season...it still wasn't good enough. Mike Shildt's lineup construction was interesting in the series finale. Plus, the Padres reportedly have showed interest in Luis Arraez and an interesting piece came out about former Padre Juan Soto.

Plus, San Diego State played their biggest game of the year: a Sweet 16 matchup against number one seeded UConn.

The Padres have completed their two exhibition games in Seoul so the only thing that's left to do before Opening Day is finalizing who'll be on the 26-man roster. Did the Seoul games change anything about who should be making the team?
