The San Diego Padres postseason dreams ended in a painful, similar fashion to their last two exits, but why is there reason for true optimism heading into 2027?
Marty Caswell and Darren Smith welcome in Kyle Glaser to put a cap on the 2026 Padres, where the organization improved the most, and how Craig Stammen made the biggest change from his predecessor Mike Shildt.
The three discuss what went wrong in the NLDS versus the 103-win Milwaukee Brewers, why it was a mistake to pull Walker Buehler in game four, how Bradgley Rodriguez was used in the series and if it was a mistake to let Mason Miller attempt a two-inning save.
Darren, Marty, and Kyle discuss the offense being stymied in the playoffs for the third straight year, and the encouraging steps made by Fernando. Tatis and Jackson Merrill.
