With a few extra days to put their thoughts together on the San Diego Padres' season coming to an end, Randy Holt and Steve Drumwright talk about how the NL Division Series loss happened, some things they liked, some things they didn't and the feelings that the Padres are left with going into the offseason.

The San Diego Padres took care of business in relatively easy fashion against the Chicago Cubs in the NL Wild Card Series. Next up is the Milwaukee Brewers. Randy Holt and Steve Drumwright take a look back at all the good things that happened in the Cubs series and what to expect in the NL Division Series against the Brewers, who had the best record in MLB this year. They also sort through what roster changes might be in store, go through the keys to the series and make their prediction on who will win the series.

The San Diego Padres are hosting the Chicago Cubs in the NL Wild Card Series at Petco Park. Randy Holt and Steve Drumwright break down how the Padres got to this point with a strong second half, look into who should be the starting pitcher beyond Michael King, and what decisions need to be made about the roster before Game 1. They also offer their keys to the Padres winning the series and offer their predictions on who will win and how many games it will take.

The San Diego Padres are officially in the postseason! Randy Holt and Steve Drumwright were popping bottles as they reviewed the week that led to the Friars earning a spot in the playoffs for a franchise-record third consecutive year, the journey the Padres took to get to this point and then discussed some of the key issues they face before the postseason, including who will be in the rotation and who will make the roster. The only thing left on the Padres' checklist entering this weekend's series against the Arizona Diamondbacks is what seed they will have. Randy and Steve discuss those scenarios, including the very real possibility that Petco Park will host a Wild Card Series next week.

Following a 6-1 road trip to San Francisco and Colorado, the San Diego Padres are talking about magic numbers and improving their postseason seed. Steve Drumwright takes a look back at the road trip, which included Ethan Salas' first two-homer game of his young career, some games that were closer than they should have been and the offense putting up some runs. Steve also talks about how the concern over the back end of the bullpen has dissipated in the last few days after Bradgley Rodriguez, Adrian Morejon and Mason Miller were being worked a lot. He also goes over the postseason plan for the 20-year-old Salas and whether he should be starting, while also touching on the contributions of Dustin Harris and how realistic it is for the Padres to overtake the Philadelphia Phillies or Chicago Cubs for a better playoff seed. In the minors, Steve recaps how the Low-A Lake Elsinore Storm captured the California League championship. He finishes with a preview of the Marlins series and what to expect in the final nine games.

After a much better week against the Yankees and Nationals, there is plenty to be optimistic about. Randy Holt and Steve Drumwright recap the week that was, including a big weekend by Luis Campusano vs. the Yankees, then Nick Pivetta's surprising return to the rotation that kicked off a sweep of the Nationals. Randy and Steve then rank each of their top five most important players for the final 16 games of the regular season. After checking in on the top news items from the minors, including the Lake Elsinore Storm in the playoffs with first-round draft pick Coleman Borthwick on the roster and Miguel Andujar's rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso, Randy and Steve take a look at the weekend coming up in San Francisco and the four-game series vs. the Colorado Rockies after that, as each game becomes more important to the Padres getting to the postseason.

Randy & Steve are back on to talk questionable vibes after a brutal San Diego Padres road trip. They break down the impact of the week on the wild card, talk about Ethan Salas' debut, and break down the five worst things that happened to the Padres over the last week. From there, they project what things look like in the week ahead as the Padres continue their pursuit of a wild card spot, but this time from back outside of the picture.
