Everything that can go wrong for the Padres has and then some.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell welcome in former Padres All-Star closer Heath Bell to discuss what's gone so wrong for this team, the impact of the decimated starting rotation, and what kind of strange message Craig Stammen is sending by using an opener for Randy Vasquez.

The three also discuss the incredibly sloppy brand of baseball the Padres are playing ,the lack of fundamentals, and how Craig Stammen's always cheery demeanor is going over with the players.Why did A.J. Preller hire another rookie manager this season with so much on the line and are they finally paying the price for such a poor off-season?

Are MLB players noticing something different with the baseballs this year? Heath Bell says yes, and how pitchers can tell by the the touch when something is off.

Marty, Darren and Heath then take a look at the Dodgers series, and even more importantly, a possibly telling homestand versus the Diamondbacks and Blue Jays.
