Talking Friars: A San Diego Padres podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Reaction to the Padres four-game series in St. Louis. Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill came through in game one. During the game news leaked that the Padres were signing Elias Díaz to a minor league deal. It was a hot one on Tuesday night but that didn't keep San Diego from taking care of business even without Robert Suarez. Wednesday though was one where San Diego couldn't capitalize with runners in scoring position, as they got walked off by Nolan Arenado. Michael King started the series finale. Tommy Pham was recently put on waivers so should the Padres grab him if he gets to them? Plus, updates on Ha-Seong Kim, Yu Darvish and Fernando Tatis Jr. Subscribe for year round Padres/San Diego Sports content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJHFZPJpuyVyG_skyD0F6w?sub_confirmation=1 Twitter (Padres Content): https://twitter.com/talkingfriars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingfriars Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gaslamp-ball-for-san-diego-padres-fans/id1564530100 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1wBT7eDHQEF2nBjpkV1bht?si=HJPwdV4TTY27eE66lyN1fw Visit gaglionebros.com to view their entire menu and find their location's phone number/address!

Reaction to the Padres four-game set vs. the Mets. Game one got out of hand but Joe Musgrove dominated on Friday night and the offense gave him a nice early lead! Yu Darvish came back into the Padres clubhouse before that game and Fernando Tatis Jr. continues to progress, as he took live BP. A couple of mistakes led to the Mets blowing open game three on Saturday. It looked like the Padres were going to go 1-6 vs. New York this season until Jurickson Profar and Jackson Merrill created another memorable ending!
