Darren Smith and John Gennaro are still trying out some new technologies for the Section 1904 community, and they talk about that at the top of the show before jumping into the Padres' 4-1 win over the Giants and Yu Darvish's brilliance. John raves about Darvish looking like "the old Darvish," Darren appreciates every single Darvish start, and guys agree that Darvish is something of an artist on the mound.

The guys then dig into an article written by Dennis Lin about how AI has become a major part of identifying pitchers' tells, which was on full display during the Padres' series against the Red Sox, and they talk about what it means for the future of sports.

Finally, Darren lays out the schedule for the rest of the week and identifies a very interesting situation for Mikey Varas and the six SDFC players that are eligible for the United States U-20 men's national soccer team.
