Padres fresh vibes, Freddy Fermin is on fire, Preller on the prowl

Where would the San Diego Padres be without Jase Bowen and Samad Taylor? Ok, we're kind of joking.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the early impact and energy by newcomers Bowen and Taylor in the Padres win over the Reds. How much has this team missed bunting and small ball? The show also discusses Freddy Fermin's third straight game with home run, and what manager Craig Stammen said about his confidence and defense.

The Padres will be without another one of their regulars after Xander Bogaerts was placed in the injured list and Will Wagner was recalled. The duo discuss Bogaerts missing his own bobblehead night, and previous bobblehead misses in Padres history.

Craig Stammen was asked about how aggressive he expects A.J. Preller to be given the team's offensive struggles and injuries. The duo discuss a new segment, "Preller On The Prowl" as he looks to upgrade the roster ahead of the trade deadline. Marty and Darren discuss how difficult that task might be, given the Padres transfer in ownership may not be completed until later this summer.
