Summary
Manny Machado says it can't get any worse for the Padres. Oh, yes it can. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss why it's a crucial homestand amid a five-game losing streak, why the disappointing Padres and Mets are mirror images of each other, and why the Padres are running out of time to figure things out. The two discuss how Craig Stammen's constant positive demeanor has gone over with Padres fans, how it's going over in the clubhouse, and the heat that's on the entire coaching staff. Marty and Darren then answer additional overflow tweets from Padres fans who question why Freddy Fermin is on the roster, if they could call up Ethan Salas, why Machado continues to bat fourth, if the new owner could move some big, underperforming contracts. 🌶️ Friar Territory is the official San Diego Padres podcast in the Foul Territory Network.
