Those seven games in 10 days against Los Angeles were everything we hoped for (and more). But beating up on the Diamondbacks on Wednesday might be an even better sign the Padres are starting to get things together. In this week's OnFriar Podcast, NBC 7's Derek Togerson and Darnay Tripp talk about how the West will REALLY be won, offer advice for a superstar, and get some insight from Padres Hall of Famer Randy Jones on the state of pitching in today's Major League Baseball.

He's the man behind one of the best baseball accounts on social media, and he loves the Padres' pitching staff. Rob Friedman of Pitching Ninja fame joins the pod to share his thoughts on a rotation filled with aces. Derek and Darnay begin with some thoughts on Tatis' injury scare (1:36) and Lamet's spring debut (7:38). Then Rob joins the conversation (12:00) and discusses his bond with Yu Darvish, and what makes him so unique and so good (15:13). Rob also shared his thoughts on Lamet, Snell and Paddack (30:03). If he could cherry pick pitches from Padres whose 'stuff' would he want in his arsenal (39:13). A super fun conversation that winds down with his recollection of one pitch remembered for what the hitter did to it, and that hitter was (of course) Tony Gwynn.
