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!

Peter Seidler passed away on Tuesday and while it is a sad time around San Diego, we can all be inspired by the man that he was. Care about others. Be kind. Look at things glass half full more often than glass half empty. Don’t do just do things for the money—do it because it's the right thing to do. Hopefully more human beings will be motivated to be more like Peter. I’m sure that’s what he would want.

The San Diego Padres announced today that Peter Seidler has passed away at the age of 63. “The Padres organization mourns the passing of our beloved Chairman and owner, Peter Seidler,” said Padres CEO Erik Greupner in a statement. “Today, our love and prayers encircle Peter’s family as they grieve the loss of an extraordinary husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Peter was a kind and generous man who was devoted to his wife, children, and extended family. He also consistently exhibited heartfelt compassion for others, especially those less fortunate. His impact on the city of San Diego and the baseball world will be felt for generations. His generous spirit is now firmly embedded in the fabric of the Padres. Although he was our Chairman and owner, Peter was at his core a Padres fan. He will be dearly missed.” Ben Fadden gives his thoughts on how much Peter Seidler meant to San Diego and the Padres organization. We all are wishing the best to his family and those close to him during this tough time.

Reaction to the Padres series loss vs. Arizona. Friday was a rollercoaster, as San Diego had a five-run lead going into the ninth but then had to comeback from down a run to win it in walk-off fashion thanks to Manny Machado! The Padres couldn't get the win in extras on Saturday and Dylan Cease pitched the final game of the series. Yu Darvish has been placed on the restricted list, as he's dealing with a personal matter. Will he return this season? Plus, a few more Padres will be joining Jurickson Profar (and maybe Fernando Tatis Jr.) in Arlington this month.
