Padres streak snapped, path to October, what is Randy Vasquez's role?

And unlike the previous shows that we've done here, the Padres are not in the middle of a winning streak.

The Padres lost to the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.

Marty, as you know, sometimes the great balance that we have is one of us is glass half full, one of us is glass half empty.

We're gonna figure out exactly if we're true to form here.

So with the Padres losing on Tuesday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks lost, the Philadelphia Phillies lost, the Chicago Cubs lost.

Everybody lost.

So was this a good day for the Padres or was this a bad day? Was this another day off the t- calendar, closer to the postseason, maybe a couple of percentage points picked up in terms of your postseason odds? Or was it a missed opportunity because the Phillies and the Cubs both lost and you could have pulled even with them in the loss column? Are you half full or are you half empty?

Darren, despite the day that I'm having, and we can get into that another time, I'm gonna say it's a good thing and this is why.

All right? So say if you're the Padres and you're scoreboard watching, and Craig Stammen's scoreboard watching, and Ruben Niebla as the associate manager and the pitching coach, um, is watching those games.

You're like, "Hey, we could pick up a game," in the standings.

But you also badly need to rest your high leverage pitchers, Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon.

By the way, I'm putting Yuki Matsui in that group as well.

So yesterday, Darren, you take a l- you can take a little bit of stress [laughs] off your bullpen and here's, here's Wandy Peralta.

Go get 'em.

Randy Vasquez, you know, we thought, we...

Listen, I know we've heard he's, he pitches well at Coors Field.

That's great.

All those things come to an end.

But yesterday, I think the Padres were able to go ahead and rest some guys.

So I'm gonna take the vantage loser point of g- of glass half full, and of the Padres can take a breather, reset and start a new streak.

You?

So losing 9-3 to the Colorado Rockies-

Fine.

Get it over with

... a team that is 56 and 95.
