Shohei Ohtani just authored one of the greatest games in baseball history — three home runs, ten strikeouts, and a stat line that defied logic — and Alex Miniak and Heath Bell break down every jaw-dropping detail. Comparing him to Babe Ruth, Bob Gibson, and Bo Jackson, the guys explore how Ohtani is redefining what’s possible on a baseball field.

Back in San Diego, the conversation shifts to the Padres’ managerial search, with surprising developments around Albert Pujols and Nick Hundley. Heath offers a player’s perspective on why some candidates might stay put, while Alex shares why he’s heading back to Petco Park this week — not to announce, but to help produce The Links at Petco Park, where the outfield transforms into a golf course. The guys share laughs and remind fans that even in the offseason, there’s still plenty happening in San Diego baseball.
