Summary
How do you fix this terrible Padres offense? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres bad offensive series versus the Miwaukee Brewers, the team's dead-last batting average, underwhelming slug, OPS and and runs scored. The two discuss the career- worst offensive starts for Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis, and Jackson Merrill,and address how much scrutiny needs to be put on Craig Stammen's hand-picked hitting coach, Steven Souza. The Padres have had no shortage of hitting coaches during their Petco Park era. Is it time for another one? Marty and Darren then discuss Griffin Canning's disastrous outing, Lucas Giolito's expected first start, and why the Padres don't seem to be ready to move on from Matt Waldron. It's clear the Padres need more starting pitching, and this is likely a direct reflection on Joe Musgrove and Nick Pivetta's extended absence. The duo then look ahead to a big upcoming homestand that starts with the Dodgers, and Shohei Ohtani making his second-ever start at Petco Park. 🌶️ Use our code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order* seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10 Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.
