Commercials every five minutes and inserted in the middle of sentences every time is obnoxious. Plenty of other places to go for Padres content.
…and guys this funny aren’t usually this smart. When I can swing it in the budget, I jump back into the Patreon / Discord.
The Patron-only (and ad-free!) postgame shows, Banter episodes, and deep weekly dives into the team are stellar content, but even the weekly free episodes are great.
These guys obviously love baseball, respect each other, and play off each other really well. As a San Diego native and Padres fan since the 90s, I’ve really enjoyed this podcast since 2018 (when it was MTPGA).... more
Unquestionably the best Padres podcast on the market. Craig, Raphie and Chris are a must-listen every week, through the ups and downs of season and offseason, they consistently offer an hour or two of fun with every new episode. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
excellent insights with kevin acee thank you
Must listen for Padres fans. Intelligent but accessible baseball talk. Love the balance of analytics and the intangible “eye test” type takes. Definitely recommend joining the discord for more live shows with a great community of fellow Padres fans
