Padres and Playdates

The Padres are headed to the playoffs! In this episode, we break down the current playoff and wild card standings, recap the huge series win against the Brewers, and talk about how the team is looking as October baseball gets closer. We also share some personal highlights from the week: going to Tuesday’s game thanks to Adrian Morejón’s wife, the last-minute cancellation of our interview with Jackson Merrill’s family, meeting up with other Padres accounts, seeing Jackson’s incredible mural, and snapping a selfie with Michael King.

In this episode, we celebrate Steph’s birthday and catch you up on all the latest Padres fun! We talk about our recent appearance on Fox 5 San Diego, introduce our new producer Richard, and share plans to interview Jackson Merrill’s parents after his mural reveal next week. We also tease some exciting potential future guests, break down Merrill’s hot streak, and top it all off with a hilarious prank call — interviewing someone for the backup Swinging Friar mascot role for the 2026 season.Padres baseball, community vibes, and plenty of laughs — this episode has it all.

This week’s episode is pure chaos — NO EDITS. The Padres keep losing to teams they shouldn’t, but we’re still holding onto postseason dreams. We talk about going to the game with Ashley from Smashing Designs (and the amazing hats she hooked us up with), meeting Woods and Hannah Nancarrow, and sitting right behind 3rd base. Mason Miller’s immaculate inning was electric even if we didn’t win. Plus, we hit each other with a surprise pop quiz and share our most unpopular Padres and MLB opinions.

Episode 13: Welcome to Slam Diego, Laureano!
This week we celebrate the Padres’ big series win against the Dodgers and officially welcome Laureano to Slam Diego. We break down why he’s already proving to be the best trade in MLB and share highlights from our collab with the Talk Dodgers to Me podcast ladies. Full disclosure—we came in unprepared and a little chaotic, but that’s part of the fun. Stick with us, because we’ve got some exciting guests lined up in the weeks ahead!

What a night! In this episode, we recap our unforgettable experience sitting in the Padres CEO seats, where we had the chance to connect on future PR opportunities and meet Michael King’s amazing family. We break down the Padres’ sweep of the Giants, preview the upcoming Dodgers series, and dive into the rising stardom of Michael King. A pitcher who’s quickly becoming one of our absolute favorites.

From his inspiring journey to the big leagues to the joy of meeting his sweet family (yes, we’re already planning a playdate!), we highlight why Michael King is truly the “King of the Hill.”

If you’re a Padres fan or just love baseball stories with heart, you won’t want to miss this one.

Episode 11: X-Man
Life has been chaotic and we were running on fumes for this one, but the Padres bats are still red-hot! We celebrate a string of wins, Laureano’s clutch walk-off, and the new guys stepping up as we battle for first place in the NL West. Plus, we highlight Xander Bogaerts’ inspiring comeback, his fascinating background, and the fun fact that he has a twin and speaks four languages. Baseball, laughs, and a little life chaos, all in one episode.

Episode 10: Steph’s Open Letter to Díaz – Trades, Sweeping the Mets, and More!

In this milestone 10th episode, Steph gets real with a heartfelt open letter to Edwin Díaz—yes, that Díaz—apologizing for all the past slander (well… most of it). We also dive into the latest trade deadline chaos, celebrate sweeping the Mets, and hand out another round of superlatives with our signature blend of chaos and insight.

Episode 9: Slams, Superlatives & Surprise Packages
Jackson Merrill’s journey from teen prodigy to Padres starter gets the spotlight this week, along with back-to-back grand slams from Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts. We talk trade deadline rumors, hand out midseason superlatives, and unbox some unexpected PR packages—because apparently we’re on someone’s list.

It’s baseball, parenting, and a little bit of influencer chaos. Hit play, hit follow, and let’s ride.

The All-Star break is over and your girls are back—and so are the Padres. We’re recapping the dramatic walk-off home run to close out the first half, celebrating our return to the Top 10 in the power rankings, and sharing why (for once) we’re both feeling optimistic.

We also look ahead to the trade deadline and what the Padres need to make a serious push. Plus, we dive into the emotional and powerful story of Adrián Morejón, from defecting from Cuba as a teenager to becoming a key part of the Padres bullpen. It’s heartbreaking, it’s inspiring, and it’s the kind of story that reminds us why we love this game.

The Midsummer Classic is almost here and we’re breaking it all down—Padres style. We celebrate our All-Stars heading to Arlington (spoiler: we’re proud moms), dive into MLB’s collective bargaining drama (salary caps & floors), and discuss the league-wide baby boom—yes, everyone’s having babies and we’re not mad about it. Plus: what even is a sac bunt?

It's baseball, parenting, chaos, and All-Star energy wrapped into one episode. Let’s gooo!
