Darren Smith and John Gennaro recap the San Diego Padres' third consecutive win, this one courtesy of a walk-off sac fly from Fernando Tatis Jr. that was followed by a lengthy hug between player and manager. Was the hug too long? Was it needed? Is Tatis finally embracing "Tatis 2.0"? Did "rally kid" give the team the juice they needed? The guys get to the bottom of it all before Michael King's return to the mount tonight.
They also talk about the woman who fought for a foul ball at a Phillies game and has had her life ruined since, why NFL analysts need to make snap judgements on social media, and how it all relates to the Dallas Cowboys documentary on Netflix that they're both obsessed with.
Most importantly, Darren caught up with Jon Wertheim from Sports Illustrated and 60 Minutes to recap the 2025 U.S. Open and wonder what the future holds for 22-year old Carlos Alcaraz.
