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 Friars.

Talking Friars Ep. 256: Padres fall 4-2 to the ...
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.

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 Ha-Seong Kim all are nominees to win the NL Gold Glove award in right field, second base, center field and shortstop respectively.

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 Friday night. Ben Fadden gives his thoughts on Game 2 in the latest episode of Talking Friars.

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.

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 Padres win in the latest episode of Talking Friars!

The Padres had their fourth starter on the mound tonight against the Dodgers number one starter and it unfortunately went how most national baseball people expected it to go. Julio Urias was dominant for most of his start and the Padres were working from behind since the first inning.
