The Padres dropped a pair in St. Louis and have cooled off just a touch after a scorching stretch. Darnay and Todd provide a vibe check as a challenging stretch takes them into the final month of the season. Merrill keeps mashing, Machado has played dazzling defense and is approaching a franchise record. But key bats have gone cold, and the bullpen has had to pick up some slack. Fortunately help appears to be on the way though in the form of Darvish and Tatis.

The Padres came home and wet on a tear. Jurickson Profar is playing like an All-Star starter. Manny is looking Manny-esque. Kyle Higashioka is hitting bombs left and right. Mike Shildt's club continues to show some scrap and it's winning them games. So will this key stretch turn out to be a turning point? The guys discuss that, and what we make of injury updates on Fernando Tatis Jr., Xander Bogaerts and others.

Darnay and Todd discuss their big picture outlook on the season, and the big questions facing the Padres in the months ahead - including where Fernando Tatis Jr. fits.

What a night. And what an opportunity ahead of the Padres. Derek and Darnay discuss the raucous environment at Petco Park for the Padres' Game 3 win. The bullpen continues to shove, and Blake Snell avoided trouble. Trent Grisham continues to swing a hot bat, and the Dodgers don't quite look like themselves.

The Padres clinched and countless bottles were popped. Derek and Darnay discuss the accomplishment and what it means for a team that waited for this moment for longer than they would've liked.

The Padres finally swept a series, and took care of a bad baseball team the way they should. Jackson Merrill walked it off, Donovan Solano had a massive swing, and Michael King shoved. Fernando Tatis Jr.'s hitting streak ended, but for a good cause. Two straight walk off wins! Could this be a turning point?

Assuming the Padres make the playoffs, and it would take a(nother) historic collapse for them not to, the Friar Faithful are going to have questions. Which lesser-known player will make a name for himself on the national stage? Which starters do you use in which order for a short series? Can anyone beat the Dodgers? We get answers to all that and more with Baseball America's Kyle Glaser.

The Cardinals ended the Padres' five-game win streak Thursday - but renewed hope around the Friars remains after a bounce back week. Derek and Darnay discuss Joe Musgrove's abbreviated appearance, and the rotation's string of lights out starts. How would you stack the starters in a Wild Card series? The guys share their thoughts. As long as the Padres claim a Wild Card spot do we care which one it is? The last week might be the best example of Bob Melvin's impact. Derek has lost hope that the Padres can beat the Dodgers in the postseason. And Darnay thinks Albert Pujols should come back to get to 700 homers if he doesn't reach the milestone this season.

The Padres managed to win a couple games in spite of a sluggish lineup. Derek and Darnay examine a nearly teamwide slump that has triggered fears of another late season collapse. Just how bad has it been? Darnay lets us know who dropped off and by how much (it's really bad). Is it chemistry? Getting adjusted to new players? Tatis hangover. Speaking of which - what do we make of the situation now that Tatis has met with the front office, but not the clubhouse? Also, Darnay discusses the pitch that's caused Sean Manaea's struggles, and Derek has found his new closer.

At the trade deadline MLB Network's Jon Morosi was among the first to confirm the Padres were landing Juan Soto. In a new OnFriar Podcast we talk with Jon to find out how he got the information, where San Diego now sits on the pecking order of World Series contenders, and why Dyersville, Iowa is such a magical place.

We hoped Juan Soto would be great. We have not been disappointed. The slugger has been an on base machine in San Diego, but another trade deadline acquisition might be doing even more damage. On an off-day OnFriar Podcast, the hosts talk about the one moment that might have fixed the Padres offense, and it came not from a fresh face, but from a guy who was already f#*%!ing here.

The Padres are coming off being swept three games by the Angels. They are now the only team in the MLB to not have a sweep this season. After the series, is it fair to say that they are just a .500 team? They have lost four games in a row and welcome a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Is Manny Machado headed to the IL? Plus, an update on pitcher Joe Musgrove and the latest on his shoulder injury.

The Padres couldn't cap a four day frenzy with a five game sweep of the Rockies, but they did get a huge morale boost from their successful deadline. Darnay and Todd discuss a team that's reenergized, and now better suited to compete - with a test coming in Los Angeles this weekend. What was different about the atmosphere Wednesday?

Padres missed out on their first series sweep of the season against the Marlins. Then Mike Shildt got defensive with reporters again. MLB.com Padres beat writer AJ Cassavell rejoins the pod. Is it fair to call their season a rollercoaster? Shildt wants to control the narrative, and thinks he should be getting different questions. Are they simply a .500 team or will they turn a corner in June? Jeremiah Estrada is awesome. And Fernando Tatis Jr. is showing signs of breaking out.
