The Padres swept the Reds for the second time in two weeks and did it in convincing fashion. Manny Machado looks like an MVP. MacKenzie Gore looks like a Rookie of the Year. Eric Hosmer looks like a batting champ.
But, is this a product of beating up on bad teams or the play of a truly spectacular ballclub?
Those are among the many questions NBC 7's Derek Togerson and Darnay Tripp set out to answer in a new OnFriar Podcast. They talk about the sustainability of some hot individual starts, who gets kicked out of the rotation when an injured star is ready, and whether or not a young player with lots of upside has figured out Major League pitching.
