On this lovely episode of Pads Pod, the crew discusses the pain of Padres fandom and what’s wrong with Wil Myers.  Looking to spice up the mundanity of a lost season, the gang then wonders what shows the boys like to watch when they’re in the mood for some “Netflix and Chill.”  The post Episode 31: Rate Your Pain appeared first on Pads Pod - A San Diego Padres Podcast.

The 2017 baseball season has begun and the San Diego Padres are warming all the hearts.  On this, the first episode of the young season, the gang discusses what makes this group so gosh-darned lovable.  We talk about Will Myers’ cycle in Colorado and finish our verbal jaunt with a game of “would you rather…”   The post Pads Pod Episode 30: Rah, Rah, Sis-Boom-Bah! appeared first on Pads Pod - A San Diego Padres Podcast.

On this episode of Pads Pod, the gang discusses how it feels to be a Padres fan now that the team has been fully dismantled and taken into a rebuild.  We talk about divisions within the fan base that this transition has created, and, finally, we consider what questions we would have asked ownership if we had been at the recent “Town Hall.” You’ll also hear from our new sponsor, “San Diego Prosecutors for Hire” and how they’r helping AJ out with the Hector Olivera situation.

On this episode of Pads Pod, the crew chooses their Padres ‘Lovable Loser’ team.  What the fuck does that mean? Well, I’ll tell you. The gang each chose 9 position players and one starting pitcher from past Padre teams that were terrible baseball players, yet completely adorable at the the same time.  What are you left with? The Padres Lovable Loser Team of the 21st Century. Was my explanation clear enough for you? Was it an adequate description? If it wasn’t adequate, then I ought to quit.  Get it? Fuck you.

On this very special episode of Pads Pod, we speak to Kirk Kenney, sportswriter for the San Diego Union Tribune about his new book 100 Things Padres Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die. Kirk shares his favorite Tony memory, his thoughts on the current state of the Padres and discusses some fascinating tidbits of Padres lore from the book. We highly encourage you to check out the book for yourself.  You can purchase it on Amazon or http://100thingspadres.blogspot.com. After the interview, we talk about how reading the book lead to a revelation about the Padres identity.

On the 25th episode of Pads Pod, Manny and Ryan discuss if a temporary boycott of the Padres would be an effective tool for showing fan dissatisfaction and improving the quality of the team. Then we get all philosophical on your asses, and discuss what the minimum requirements are to consider yourself a fan of a given team.  We also boldly attempt to answer the question: “What is the Padres identity, and have they ever had one?”  We even talk about that jabronie extraordinare, James Shields.   *At the beginning of the episode, Ryan refers to it as episode 26. He was incorrect.  Like you give a shit. The post Pads Pod Episode 25: Boycott appeared first on Pads Pod - A San Diego Padres Podcast.

For reasons which remain uncertain, Episode 24 may be the greatest episode of Pads Pod ever. On this episode we critique and respond to Kevin Acee’s article, “Getting in early on believing in Padres.” In doing so, we discuss whether or not the 2016 Pads are more fun to watch than the star-studded 2015 edition, in what ways we’ve improved as a ball club since then, how the club house chemistry appears to be different, and if there’s any value in improvement during a doomed season. We finish the episode by playing a game entitled “Padres Mark-Ass Bitch” which involves a discussion of the most notable Padres personalities named Mark. We are also treated to a commercial for the Aero Club starring Fernando Rodney and Wil Myers.* *As usual, the Aero Club, nor any Padres players, had anything to do with our shitty podcast.

On the 23rd episode of Pads Pod, the crew covers a variety of topics over the course of an informal yet invigorating discussion about the month of April for the San Diego Padres.  They touch on Adam Rosales’ gumpy but inspirational smile and style of play, Andy Green’s ejection, Melvin Upton’s resurgence and Jedd Gyorko’s boos.  We also see the debut of #statboimoi.   In other news, the Pads Pod Store is now open. There’s no markup on the shirts, so we ain’t making shit off them.  Peep game.

On this episode of Pads Pod, we talk about the opening series with the Dodgers to the degree that we could stomach that discussion. We then move on to chat about lineup changes between the 2015 and 2016 seasons, and how different the Padres lineup might be in 2017. Among other randomness, we also hear from a new sponsor and talk about James Loney. Near the end of the episode, the tone takes an unexpected turn that’s sure to make you run the gamut of human emotions.  The post Pads Pod Episode 22: Intervention appeared first on Pads Pod - A San Diego Padres Podcast.

Opening day of the 2016 season for our San Diego Padres is upon us.  In this mellow, easy like Sunday morning episode, we had the distinct pleasure to once again be joined by Mario from Grandstand Podcast.   We get Spring Training and Fanfest reports from Yoshi, and then we all engage in ‘very specific predictions’* for the 2016 season.  Listen, enjoy and then go check out the new episode of Grandstand Podcast over at Grandstand Podcast.   *The idea of ‘very specific predictions’ came from this wonderful ‘cast.  If you’re a soccer fan, I highly recommend it: http://totalsoccershow.com/ The post Pads Pod Episode 21: Imprint appeared first on Pads Pod - A San Diego Padres Podcast.

After a long offseason of meeting with sponsors, we’ve been under a lot of pressure to grow the Pads Pod brand.  We’ve been told over and over that we need to appeal to a wider audience.  What do the masses want?  Apparently they want ‘hot takes.’  Well, as the teenagers say, “we gots to get paid.” So, here you have it. On this episode of Pads Pod, Manny and Ryan record live from the Mission Valley Mall.  We take calls, twitter questions and play “Buy or Sell” regarding the Padres’ trip to Mexico City.  For your mass enjoyment, we also play “Over/Under” in order to predict the amount of wins the Friars will garner in the 2016 season.  Finally, you’ll from Wil Myers as he recites his love for the Mexican food of North Carolina.

This week, the crew interviews Mario of grandstandpodcast.com.  We learn about Mario’s intelligent and thought provoking podcast, and then we wax philosophical on the state of baseball.   Why is baseball so beautiful? Is the game dying?  Why has Mario become disillusioned with the experience at Petco?  How big is John Jay’s butt?  All of these issues and more are addressed this week on…..PADS POD.   Visit The Grandstand at www.grandstandpodcast.com.  The podcast is also available on iTunes.
