With John Gennaro enjoying beignets and Hurricanes on Bourbon Street, Darren Smith sucked down a few double espressos and started the podcast talking about Craig Stammen’s introductory press conference earlier in the day on Monday. What were the key takeaways, what was appreciated and what questions were left unanswered from Stammen’s first appearance as Padres manager. Also, what’s the deal with AJ Preller’s contract and why wasn’t an announcement made today? Hear a portion of Stammen’s press conference and the reaction to the timeline of his candidacy from interviewer to interviewee.
Then, with vocal cords still a bit raw – but not as raw as Gus Johnson's – the podcast focused on San Diego Football Club’s near-perfect win against Portland Timbers, clinching a spot in the MLS Cup Western Conference semifinals. After a crushing defeat last weekend, how was it that the Chrome and Azul dominated Timbers in the series finale and what to make of Hirving Lozano’s role in the remaining matches.
