On Friar Podcast: who's irrelevant now? San Diego Padres send a message in series win over Dodgers

Friars show signs of being a very different team in 2024 with weekend win in LA

NBC Universal, Inc.

Will Smith is a very good catcher. Apparently he is not a very good trash talker.

Smith called Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar "irrelevant" on Saturday then watched Profar launch a 3-run double on Sunday to win a game and a series at Dodger Stadium (in a bit of irony, the Los Angeles catcher isn't even the most relevant Will Smith in the city where he plays). There's a lot to unpack from the Padres taking two of three from their long-time tormentors.

That's just what the OnFriar Podcast did. NBC 7's Derek Togerson and Darnay Tripp talk through the rare Padres series win over the Dodgers. What was good, what was bad, what was silly, and what kind of emotional response should we all have to this?
