That was a bummer. Former Padre Greg Garcia joins Darnay to discuss the season ending loss. Game 3 of the Wild Card Series resulted in another low-scoring loss, perhaps a fitting ending to what was at points a frustrating season. The stars at the top of the order didn't deliver, and the Padres couldn't hit with runners in scoring position. There was a regrettable moment for Luis Arraez, and an unbelievable strike three call against Xander Bogaerts. The bullpen was great, but Dansby Swanson played out of his mind.

The Padres aren't done. A shutout of the Cubs forced a Game 3 Thursday at Wrigley. Dylan Cease stepped up. Manny Machado had the swing of his Padres postseason career. And the bullpen.

We've seen losses like that before. Nick Pivetta was sharp early, but two homers were too much for the Padres to overcome. After striking first they failed to add on, before going quiet in the back half of Game 1. Jackson Merrill bunted. His fault or a product of the environment? Stars didn't show up. How confident are we that they will on Wednesday? Did wind and shadows at Wrigley impact the Padres? Can they reverse MLB postseason history? Pressure is on Dylan Cease.

Mike Shildt made what he viewed as an easy call and it backfired in the finale against the Mets. Once again the Padres dropped a road series against a playoff caliber team. Will they be able to flip the script in October? This year September feels way different from last. We consider the playoff picture. Manny, Merrill and Tatis have shown life. Michael King had the worst outing of his career. Mason Miller is incredible. The guys look ahead to the final nine games.

The Padres are spinning their wheels. After a promising couple games in Colorado they returned home and dropped their series against the Reds. The lineup isn't producing, the rotation and bullpen are spotty, Manny Machado looks worn down and they're losing ground in the playoff race. Fortunately Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jackson Merrill have perked up over the last week. How concerned are we? The guys discuss.

Even Mike Shildt and the Padres can admit - things aren't great right now. Eno Sarris of The Athletic returns to the pod to share his thoughts on the club's struggles. Starters have been unreliable. Was one particular deadline deal a mistake? Tatis and Machado homered, but what's to blame for their dips in production? Mason Miller threw an immaculate inning! What are realistic expectations for this team? And what should give us hope for the home stretch?

It was an entertaining series in Seattle. But it was not a good few days for the Padres. After a pair of losses and a Dodgers sweep, San Diego is now looking up at Los Angeles again. The guys assess their division hopes and the Wild Card outlook. It was not a good few days for Padres starters. Michael King should be back soon. Fernando Tatis Jr. finally homered again. Ramon Laureano moved up in the lineup with Luis Arraez out, will it stay that way? Are changes coming? Winnable games are ahead.
