A 4-3 road trip through Atlanta and New York is one heck of an accomplishment that any team will take. But, there's a feeling that it could (perhaps even should) have been even better for the Padres.
One of their starting pitchers is, once again, not living up his potential and it's costing San Diego wins. What is really wrong with Blake Snell? Is it another early-season slump and the dominant lefty will emerge soon? Or are there signs that point to his electric stuff losing some of its effectiveness? The OnFriar Podcast looks into the metrics and takes a few cues from the skipper to try and find the answer.

Plus, with the return of Fernando Tatis Jr. just a week away how much better will he realistically make the Padres lineup? Perhaps the secret is found in BABIP. Perhaps it's in more lineup length and shoring up a position that is currently one of the worst in the game.
Hosts Derek Togerson and Darnay Tripp also discuss beer sale cutoff times, which became a national talking point thanks to a former Padres pitcher.
