After a weekend sweep the Padres met their bold new owners, the vibes were great - and then that Pirates series happened. Derek and Darnay discuss what went wrong, and where there are areas of concern. What's going on with Manny? And what have we seen from Merrill? There were encouraging pitching performances, and updates on a few key arms. Mason Miller gave up a homer, but responded like a stud. Plus, Jose and Kwanza are here.

This club is on fire right now! A sweep of the team with the best record in the National League, capped by Campy's first career walk off. Pretty much everyone is hitting, and the rotation has turned in some fine performances. Derek and Darnay discuss the vibes around the team, and what we should take from their hot streak. How should we feel about the postseason race? Is Ethan Salas coming up before September? And it looks like the new owners could be in place this time next week.

Monday's deadline appeared to be a promising one for the Padres, but the immediate returns have not been great. Casey Mize got roughed up. Will Robbie Ray have a steadier hand on Friday? The bats go hot and cold during their most crucial series yet. Joe seems to be getting closer. What is happening with Pivetta?

The Padres addressed their biggest need by adding a familiar face. Robbie Ray just shoved at Petco Park, and has been red hot. Then just before the buzzer A.J. Preller brought Casey Mize to town. Both are having strong seasons, and join a rotation in dire need of reinforcements. Derek and Darnay discuss the additions, who it cost to get them - as well as the players who are sticking around for a playoff push.

The Padres have won five straight games and suddenly the Wild Card landscape looks a lot more gettable. So what will A.J. Preller pull off this time? Derek and Darnay discuss what we've seen from the team the last five games. How big of a buyer could they be? The rotation is the most glaring need, but where else could they upgrade? And what does the team have to offer in a trade? What potential trade targets could be in the Padres' price range? And what is the club's potential if they plug the necessary holes on the roster?

For all intents and purposes the playoffs start now for the Padres. If they don't turn it on to start the second half, they probably won't buy and might just sell at the deadline. If they prove they're a postseason team AJ Preller will load up for a run at the Wild Card. With the All-Star break winding down Derek and Darnay discuss the make or break road trip and give predictions for the Padres' second half.

Is the worst behind the Padres? Sure hope so. A dreadful eight days left them with a lot of work to do in the Wild Card race. This week the club appears to have shaken off the slump. And they need that to continue into and beyond the All-Star break. Jake Cronenworth and Luis Campusano are back and have provided some impactful swings. The lineup erupted Wednesday against Arizona. Starting pitching remains an issue, but a few arms have turned in stellar performances. Are they moving in the right direction? Derek and Darnay discuss that and implications heading ahead of the Trade Deadline.

Suddenly things have gotten bleak. The Cubs handed the Padres an embarrassing beatdown, pushing their losing streak to five games. And now they visit the Dodgers. Where have things gone so terribly wrong? And is there anything they can really do about it? What does this mean for the trade deadline? And what would that mean for a playoff push? Derek joins Darnay from Dodger Stadium to discuss.

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.
