The Voice of Petco Park, Alex Miniak, and three-time All-Star Heath Bell break down a jam-packed weekend where the Padres took two of three from the red-hot Red Sox in an August series that felt more like October. They dig into Saturday night’s hidden ball trick drama, Dylan Cease’s dominant Sunday, and why Red Sox manager Alex Cora calls the Padres bullpen “the best in the big leagues.”

Alex also shares a personal highlight — celebrating his first wedding anniversary — and remembering a special day at Petco Park complete with Hodad’s burgers, the Friar ringing the bell, and baseball cards as table décor.

The episode wraps with an “alternate universe” fan poll: if the Dodgers and Giants had never moved west, who would be the Padres’ biggest rival? From Astros to Diamondbacks, Heath and Alex explore alternate timelines, blending sharp baseball analysis with personal stories for a rich, can’t-miss listen.
