Kyle Hart joins the show, Joe Musgrove nears a return, Mize bounces back

Starter, middle reliever, closer, you name it. Kyle Hart has done it all for the Padres. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell welcomed in Padres reliever Kyle Hart to discuss his jack-of-all trades role with the organization, and why his role comes as no surprise.

The show discusses his relationship with Craig Stammen, how his manager got him out of a dark place when he was AJ Preller's special assistant, his long journey to get back into the Majors and why he doubted he'd have a future at the big-league level.

Marty, Darren, and Kyle discuss his long-time friendship with Phillies star Kyle Schwarber, the tight-knit bullpen, and why he doesn't like to finding out he's making a spot start until the day of. Kyle then discusses what the trade deadline was like for the players, the acquisitions of Casey Mize and Robbie Ray, a signature win over the Milwaukee Brewers and the sizzling Jackson Merrill.

Marty and Darren then hear from Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove on his second rehab, how built-up A.J. Preller wants him to be and the encouraging expectations of his return.
