The Cardinals wasted little time deflating the excitement around the Padres first playoff game in 14 years. Chris Paddack's tumultuous season continued in the biggest start of his career, setting up a must-win with Zach Davies on the mound. Derek and Darnay recap Game 1, discuss Paddack's struggles, the domino effect of Lamet and Clevinger's absence, Davies, and the outlook on the rest of the series.
