Episode Details

The Padres sit hot on the wild-card trail at 43-39, riding a hot streak and Manny Machado’s optimism—but history warns: they were here before, in 2021, and collapsed after a shaky rotation. Now, starters like Michael King are struggling to last innings, forcing a strained bullpen that’s already paid the price. The coaching staff has more time and tools than then, but can’t pitch for them. Still, there’s hope: Machado’s bat, bullpen gems like Yuki Matsui, and creative fixes like bullpen games could turn things around before the trade deadline.
