Tim Kurkjian on Padres and Wild Card race, Giants and Rockies no easy task
Are the San Diego Padres the team that went 5-1 versus the New York Yankees and Washington Nationals or the team that went 1-5 versus the Rays and Reds? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell welcome in the great Tim Kurkjian of Is This a Great Game or What and ESPN to discuss the Padres chase for the wild card. Tim tries to make sense of an up and down offense and this version of Fernando Tatis after he went the first 55 games of the season without hitting a home run. Tim, Marty and Darren discuss the wild card race between the Padres and Diamondbacks, the likelihood of it coming down to the final weekend, and why strength of schedule doesn't really matter in the long run. How impactful has Manny Machado been for the Padres since he signed in 2019? Tim, a longtime Baltimore resident and reporter, discusses the hype that Machado came up with on the Orioles, and the pride he takes in "posting" every single day despite any injuries he's dealing with. Is this the year the Dodgers are finally vulnerable? Tim discusses the impact Shohei Ohtani to the injured list will have on the Dodgers playoff chances. Marty and Darren then look at the Padres pitching matchups versus the Giants, why no one wants to play the Rockies in Colorado and which version of the Padres is going to show up on this road trip. The two then conclude by remembering the tragedy of September 11th, and how sports, particularly the Yankees and Mets, played a part in healing some of the unimaginable grief.Go to Quince.com/foul for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns Use our code for 10% off your next order of MLB tickets on SeatGeek*: seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10 Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.

Padres have no margin for error, does schedule favor Padres or DBacks?
Manny Machado knows the Padres have no margin for error. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres finding a way to win against a bad Nationals bullpen, and why the players are scoreboard watching every bit as much as the fans and media. The two hear from Machado on a game the Padres absolutely had to win and discuss where the team would be without the heroics of Luis Campusano. Which NL team has the toughest remaining schedule? Marty and Darren break down the remaining opponents for the Padres and Diamondbacks, and discuss why the Dodgers will still have a lot to play for even if they clinch the NL West before the Padres series. The two also discuss a very encouraging return from Nick Pivetta, and discuss the contrasting path for a very emotional Joe Musgrove. Marty and Darren discuss why they're not counting out Musgrove, and the incredible impact he has had on his teammates, including Campusano. Why was future Hall of famer Albert Pujols at Petco Park on Tuesday? Marty and Darren hear from Pujols on his experience interviewing for Padres manager and what kind of job he thinks Chris Stammen, er Craig Stammen, is doing.

Is Nick Pivetta close? | Padres huge series vs. Yankees | Injury expert Will Carroll
Is there actually good news for the Padres as they head into a huge home series versus the New York Yankees? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss A.J. Preller's statement that Nick Pivetta could be added to the roster soon. They also discuss the outlook on Joe Musgrove and if his season could be over before it really even started.

Marty and Darren discuss Fernando Tatis' comments on it being the end of summer and if we're finally going to see a more consistent Padres offense as the clock winds down. The show then welcomes in Injury Expert's Will Carroll, who discusses the various injuries to PIvetta, Musgrove, Manny Machado, Gavin Sheets, and Miguel Andujar, and how it affects their respective performances. How much will the playoff races be decided by injuries to some of the most important players in the NL West? Carroll discusses the bicep injury to Shohei Ohtani, why his injury is related to his spine, and why it's reminiscent of the injury to Tigers slugger Prince Fielder.
