Who's ready for Padres versus the Dodgers?

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith break down the biggest takeaways from the Padres sweep of the Seattle Mariners, the sizzling Gavin Sheets and the impact of Lucas Giolito's strong debut on the Padres rotation.

While Sheets was a one-man wrecking crew on the Mariners, a lot of the same questions still remain about the Padres offense. Darren and Marty discuss the scrutiny around hitting coach Steven Souza, and how his players are defending the information he gives them. The duo discuss Craig Stammen's defense of his hitting coach and why Souza isn't necessarily to blame for the Padres offensive issues.

 Darren and Marty then jump into the pitching matchup during the Padres and Dodgers series, the staggering difference in the Padres and Dodgers's offensive numbers, what to expect at Petco Park, why it's not just another series and if it could bring something else out of the normally stoic Craig Stammen.
