The Padres keep rolling, improving to 15-4 on the season after another win. Braden opens the show discussing what the recent trade for Bryce Johnson means for the big picture in San Diego. Vikings backup quarterback Brett Rypien joins Braden in studio to share what life is like as a backup QB in the NFL, playing for Kevin O'Connell, and more in the Midday Sports Standoff. Later, Braden breaks down the road ahead for the red-hot Padres, shares five stats that tell the story of their incredible start, and draws parallels between this team and the 2016 Cubs—warning against sacrificing the present by focusing too much on the future.
