The Padres are swept by the Phillies, completing a dismal 3-6 home stand.
Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres 3-0 loss to the Phillies and the continued, woeful shutout with runners in scoring position. Who is to blame for the Padres offensive struggles? Manager Craig Stammen says the blame lies with him when asked about the scrutiny around hitting coach Steven Souza.
We hear from Padres third baseman Manny Machado on why he says the blame lies with the hitters. Marty and Darren discuss the gathering the players had after the game on Tuesday, and if it's up to the players to take it upon themselves to find a solution.
What if? Darren puts Marty on the spot and wonders if the Padres would be better if they had hired Albert Pujols to be their manager instead of Craig Stammen. The duo also looks ahead to the series versus the Washington Nationals, which will set up the ultimate what if, around the Juan Soto trade.
