With NBC 7 San Diego Darnay Tripp and Derek Togerson behind the mic, On Friar will cover all things San Diego Padres. Interviews, analysis, behind the scenes...the ups, downs, and everything in between. On Friar is available on your favorite podcast networks: iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher & Spotify.
The guys also discuss the big names still out there: Tingler, Washington, and (yep) Bochy. And for a search that started with such potential, is it fair to say the names that have emerged the last few weeks are a bit underwhelming?
Plus, a look back at 2019 with a season long edition of 3 Up, 3 Down. What were the highlights and lowlights that stood out from a season that was at time exciting, but ended up disappointing?
