Jim Russell joined the show today to give his thoughts on how the Padres season ended. We talked about Bob Melvin’s controversial decisions, the bottom of the order not producing and where we think Manny should finish in the MVP voting. Also, we revisited Jim’s predictions that he made on the show before the season began. Hope you enjoy! GAGLIONE BROS  Visit gaglionebros.com to view their entire m...

The Padres backs were against the wall after a disappointing Game 4 loss and it looked like they were going to be back at Petco Park on Monday for a Game 6. Bryce Harper said no.

Going down 3-1 in the series was not what the Padres wanted entering tonight but it felt like there wasn’t as much urgency as there should’ve been to make sure that didn’t happen. San Diego had a 4-0 lead and a 6-4 lead but ended up losing both of them. Some fans are questioning Bob Melvin’s decisions entering and during the game. Ben Fadden gives you his reaction in the latest episode of Talking...

Joe Musgrove was on the mound for Game 3 and a lot of Padres fans were feeling good about their chances. Musgrove wasn’t at his best but still kept the Padres offense in it. Unfortunately the lineup didn’t come up with the timely hits and in the 9th there was a controversial call on Jurickson Profar’s check swing. Ben Fadden gives his reaction to the game in the latest episode of Talking Friars. G...

Rawlings released their Gold Glove finalists today for the American League and National League. It was assumed by Padres fans that Manny Machado and Jurickson Profar would easily be nominees. I guess we shouldn’t assume anything when it comes to MLB awards because they didn’t make the final three at their respective positions.  The good news though is Juan Soto, Jake Cronenworth, Trent Grisham and...

Game 2 today almost felt like a must-win game for the San Diego Padres and things weren’t looking great when they were down 4-0 to the Phillies. The good thing though about this team is they never give up! They had a huge five run inning on Saturday night in the seventh inning against the Dodgers and had another one today to put them in front. Now it’s a 1-1 series heading to Philadelphia on Frida...

Usually when we go into a game thinking a pitcher’s duel is going to take place, it doesn’t. Yu Darvish vs. Zack Wheeler seemed like a pitcher’s duel waiting to happen and this time that’s exactly what happened. The Phillies came up with the home runs and the Padres didn’t, which ended up being the difference. Ben Fadden gives his thoughts on Game 1 in the latest episode of Talking Friars. GAGLION...

The Phillies and Padres weren’t expected to make it to the NLCS but here we are.

Petco Park hadn’t seen a home playoff game with fans in the stands since 2006 and some might say it was worth the wait because tonight was epic! The crowd chanted “Beat LA” all night long as Blake Snell, Trent Grisham, Jake Cronenworth and the Padres bullpen helped lead the team to a 2-1 series lead over Los Angeles.

It felt like the Padres season was on the line tonight with their ace Yu Darvish on the mound after losing Game 1 yesterday. Going down 0-2 to the Dodgers is almost asking for your season to end. The Padres weren’t about to have that happen. This game was wild. Errors. Great defensive plays. Home runs all over the place. Relievers getting out of huge jams. Ben Fadden gives his thoughts on the Padr...
