Fernando Tatis is MLB's biggest mystery, Jared Diamond stops by

from Friar Territory: a San Diego Padres podcast · host Foul Territory Network

The Padres have been able to take advantage of the second easiest strength of schedule in baseball but it's about to change. Marty Caswell and Darren Smith look ahead at the upcoming road trip versus the Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners and the pressure on the offense to finally get going. The duo break down Manny Machado's comments on the offense, his visible frustration and candor and why it's a different tone than years past. Darren and Marty then welcome in Wall Street Journal's Jared Diamond, who just wrote about the biggest mystery in baseball, Fernando Tatis' being homerless. Diamond breaks down what the the numbers reveal, if he's tinkering too much and how surprising the Padres record is despite their ongoing offensive struggles. And it's not just Tatis who is struggling. Diamond discusses Shohei Ohtani's ongoing offensive struggles and the upcoming clash headed to Petco Park. The Padres have plenty stars, the Milwaukee Brewers are a different story. Diamond details how the Brewers have been one of baseball's best stories despite lack of star players, and changes at GM and manager.
