Taking the Good with the Bad at the WBC and a Potential Monster Season for Soto
Some familiar faces are returning to the Padres from the WBC – where one particular star continued to turn heads. Derek and Darnay discussed the good from the World Baseball Classic: Juan Soto mashing, as well as the not so good: Yu Darvish’s odd appearance, and the ugly: a disappointing sight for an MLB star. The guys discuss the Edwin Diaz injury. They also ponder Joe Musgrove’s status, the state of his toe, and how it all impacts the rotation.

Tatis Jr.'s Slow Start and Padres in the WBC
All things considered, things are pretty boring at Padres Spring Training these days. That's exactly how they should be.
A team with legitimate World Series aspirations (which the Padres absolutely have) is in a good spot if it gets to this part of the Cactus League schedule and there isn't a whole lot to talk about. There are really only a couple of storylines going that don't involve kettlebells.
One is all the Padres (and former Friars) getting going in the World Baseball Classic. The other is the uncharacteristically slow start from Fernando Tatis Jr., who is still looking for his first hit. The latest OnFriar Podcast addresses both of those topics.

Prospect Prospecting: Analyzing the Padres system with John Conniff from MadFriars
For years, Padres fans really only had potential to hang their hats on. San Diego's minor league system was regarded as one of the best in the game for a good while. Now, the big league club is expected to compete for a World Series title.
But, that certainly does not mean we can take our eyes off the farm.
Still the lifeblood of a big league ballclub, the minor leagues can be the difference in a parade or a somber off-season. Nobody knows the Padres system (outside the San Diego front office) like the folks at MadFriars.

Comparing Tatis Jr. to Gwynn ... NO IT IS NOT TOO EARLY!
Tony Gwynn is unquestionably the best Padre of all time. But could Fernando Tatis Jr. end up taking that title? For the answer we go to Bill Center, who's covered the Padres for about four decades. Bill gives us the inside scoop on why he thought Dinelson Lamet could be a front line MLB starter when the righty was in Lake Elsinore, how the Friars can not just get into ... but make noise in the playoffs, and why we shouldn't get too excited about a hot start by Wil Myers quite yet.

(1:30) Plus - the highlight of the week started in the Instagram comments. The guys rave about the Paddack-Alonso feud (5:55), it's artificial beginnings, and very real entertainment value.

And the obligatory Ian Kinsler segment (28:35). Plus - 3 Up, 3 Down (34:00).

Overreactions, Awful Machado Takes, Joker Trailer, and Impressions From the First Week
With the Padres enjoying their first day off following their 4-3 start Derek and Darnay pass along their observations from the opening week of the season. Was the Machado play against Arizona dirty (10:00)? No. But the awful hot takes that came out of it might actually be worth the trouble. Another round of 3 Up, 3 Down (35:21) somehow turns into an in-depth discussion about the new Joker trailer (42:43), three-dimensional villains, and why Derek will definitely not be seeing the Joaquin Phoenix flick.
