The San Diego Padres have finally snapped a four-game skid, thanks to an impressive debut from Griffin Canning and the "Bogey special."

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell break down the biggest takeaways from the disappointing 2-4 homestand versus the Chicago White Sox and Cubs. Why would the Padres give Fernando Tatis an off-day during the team's skid?

The duo listen to comments from Manny Machado on whether the trip to the altitude in Mexico City affected the hitters. And yes, the Padres are struggling offensively but luckily for them, so is the entire National League West.

Marty and Darren then discuss an impressive debut from Griffin Canning, nearly a year after his achilles injury. How far behind might Lucas Giolito be and what does it mean for the futures of Matt Waldron and German Marquez? We hear from Canning on his start and early first-inning jitters.

The Padres news of the weekend though is undoubtedly the transfer in ownership from the Seidler family to Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano. Marty and Darren break down their official statement and what they want to see from the next ownership group.

The two then pay tribute to legendary Yankees broadcaster John Sterling, who passed away at 87 years of age.

The San Diego Padres start May baseball by welcoming in a familiar face, White Sox manager Will Venable.

Darren Smith, Marty Caswell, and Heath Bell discuss the intangibles that Venable displayed when he played for the Padres and why he appears to be an up and manager on the rise in Major League Baseball. Heath describes the kind of leadership and thirst for learning while they were teammates and how he showed he was a student of the game.

Are the Padres good? Well their 19-11 record says they are, but for how much longer can the Padres offense be carried by their bench pieces? The trio dissect manager Craig Stammen's comments on Fernando Tatis being a hitter, not a home run hitter.

Darren, Heath and Marty discuss the decisions the Padres face when Lucas Giolito and Griffin Canning are added. Is Matt Waldron the obvious choice and have Walker Buehler and German Marquez shown enough?

Speaking of Giolito, who just threw another rehab start for the Lake Elsinore Storm, what perks do minor league players enjoy when a big-league player joins the team? Heath tells us about the spread players put on for minor league teams, and which young Padres he bought suits for.

Marty and Darren then discuss the production that top prospect Ethan Salas is doing in double and ahem, what it does for his trade value.

How much better are the Padres after the surprising signing of Lucas Giolito?

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell are joined by former All-Star closer Heath Bell to discuss Giolito's signing, how long it will take him to get caught up to speed, and how he fits the team's rotation. There are plenty of teams that were looking for starting pitching so why were the Padres right fit? Heath discusses what goes on behind the scenes when free agents choose a team and what would have happened if he had walked away from a $19 million dollar option when he was playing.

Giolito. Campusano. That's a lot of syllables in that pair and a possible tandem in the coming weeks. Darren, Marty and Heath discuss Campusano's production and what it means to have a manager that believes in him and actually gives him a chance to play.

Mason Miller continues to be a cheat code but will his next opportunity to break Cla Meredith's Padres record for consecutive scoreless innings come in Colorado or Arizona?

The last Padres ownership created fan buzz and goodwill by changing to the brown uniforms. What can this new group led by Jose Feliciano do? The trio discusses, and yes it circulates around Ramon Laureano, Mason Miller, and beer prices.
