What do we make of the San Diego Padres at the one-third mark of the season after their latest shutout by the Philadelphia Phillies?

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the RISP disaster, Manny Machado's candor about the blame falling on him, and manager Craig Stammen's comments on looking for answers.

How patient will A.J. Preller as the the offensive woes of the 31-22 Padres continue? Darren points out the success the Phillies have had after firing Rob Thompson and promoting Don Mattingly, and wonders if the Padres could make internal changes.

We hear from manager Craig Stammen on how he assesses the Padres offense, and why he still thinks they're close. If you're looking for any silver linings from the Padres 3-0 loss to the Phillies, Griffin Canning was solid and perhaps there's more optimism on Joe Musgrove resuming some baseball activities. 

The Padres have seen some good signs from Fernando Tatis. The duo discuss whether the recent ruling on his Big League Advance lawsuit has been a distraction.
