On today's show, the Voice of Petco Park Alex Miniak and 3x MLB All-Star Heath Bell cover it all: milestones, memories, and matchups. They celebrate Luis Arraez’s 1,000th career hit and break down why his “old school” contact-hitting style is still elite in today’s game. They also spotlight Mason Miller’s immaculate inning — just the second in Padres history — and trade stories of pitching feats they’ve witnessed (or been part of).

With National Video Game Day on deck, Alex and Heath go nostalgic on their favorite baseball games, from Bases Loaded to RBI Baseball to MLB The Show — including what it’s like for both a PA announcer and a big leaguer to appear in a game.

Finally, they preview the Padres’ weekend series against the Rockies at Petco Park, where some home cooking might just serve up a September sweep.
