## Resource

Another Padres and Dodgers game, another intense, one-run thriller. Marty Caswell and Darren Smith discuss the Padres 5-4 loss to the Dodgers, Mason Miller's costly error and how another ABS challenge affected the outcome. The duo break down Manny Machado's exchange with a reporter on his offensive struggles and his comments on Gavin Sheets and Miguel Andujar carrying the Padres offense. The show then welcomes in ESPN's Alden Gonzalez, who discusses how the Padres and Dodgers match up, why he believes Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill will hit, and the concerns over Fernando Tatis' ongoing struggles. Alden continues the conversation on how ABS is changing the game, the reactions from inside Petco Park, Shohei Ohtani's upcoming start versus the Padres and what the Dodgers are doing differently to keep him fresh during the season. Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano were at Petco Park on Tuesday night. Alden says he expects them to invest in the Padres and open up the purse strings to give them a chance to win big this season.
