It was a scary scene against the Chicago Cubs today, as San Diego Padres starting catcher Austin Nola was carted off the field after being hit by a fastball in the face. What's the latest update on Nola and what would the catching situation look like without Nola? Julio Teheran got the start in Mesa. Is he trending towards not making the roster? Plus, Nick Martinez spoke to the media for the first time since arriving back in Peoria from the World Baseball Classic. All that and more discussed on the latest episode of Talking Friars!
