Padres and Playdates

Episode 6 is jam-packed like a bases-loaded bottom of the 9th. We recap the last four series—including the latest chapter of Padres-Dodgers chaos—with Shildt and Roberts both getting the boot and Jomboy giving it the full voiceover treatment. We gush over our boy José Iglesias, who’s officially in his superstar era (yes, that José Iglesias—you might want to check Spotify). Plus, we break down his wild ride to the bigs, his off-field talent, and why the vibes around the Padres—and MLB in general—have us cautiously hopeful.

In Week 5 of Padres & Playdates, we break down the recent series against the Giants, Brewers, and—you guessed it—the “not our rivals” Dodgers. We talk stolen bases, blowouts, and that first NL series loss at Petco. Plus, we dive into the unspoken (and very real) beef with LA, from spring training to social media smack. Padres fans, this one's for you—unless you’re still pretending it’s “just another team.”

This week on Padres & Playdates, we’re lighting it up like it's the Fourth of July:

🔥 Manny Machado gets his flowers after a clutch week
🎸 Jose Iglesias is literally playing like he's on tour
😡 Anais goes OFF about pitchers not being penalized for hitting batters
🎟️ AND we're giving away 4 tickets to the Fourth of July game at Petco Park vs. the Astros!

We’re back and still feeling (overly?) optimistic about this Padres season—even during a losing streak. In this episode, we break down why Tyler Wade is the ultimate team player, recap Tatis’ incredible journey, and laugh about the time the Dodgers celebrated home runs with literal bubbles.

Because being a Padres fan means having delusional confidence and a good sense of humor.

Episode 1: Tatis Plays Piano In our debut episode, we dive into the chaotic conception of Padres & Playdates—born from baseball obsession, mom life, and one too many spicy margs. We break down how the Padres went from perennial heartbreak to sold-out spectacles, why this season feels different, and yes… how Fernando Tatis Jr. playing piano made us feel things.
