Episode Notes

What did we learn about the San Diego Padres after an 8-2 opening pummeling by the Detroit Tigers? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discussed a rough outing by Nick Pivetta, if there's more to his arm fatigue and whether or not he can duplicate his terrific 2025 season.

We hear from Xander Bogaerts on why Pivetta just didn't have "it" and moving on from a rough opening day loss. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Fernando Tatis is back in the leadoff spot. Darren and Marty break down the Padres starting lineup versus the Tigers and why Craig Stammen is prone to changing things up.

Before the game, AJ Preller discussed what went behind Yu Darvish being placed on the restricted list. Marty and Darren break down why the money he's walking away from will not result in adding any salary to the current payroll. Did Joe Musgrove have a setback? We hear from Musgrove on the next step in his rehab progress and why he doesn't want to look at his MRI results.

Last but not least, we are learning more about the latest bidder to buy the Padres and Marty explains why she wants no part of him, thanks to his ties to the LA Chargers.
