Joel and Tony take a waaaay too early look at the 2019 MLB Draft Matt Stairs was fired...for some reason. We discuss the organizational instability at the hitting coach position and why it might be happening We look at dream free agent scenarios  Contact: dadstalkingdads@gmail.com @dadstalkingdads

The season is coming to a close, and the Padres juuust missed the playoffs.  We discuss whether San Diego fans have had the most misery of any fan base. We play Thunderdome with various Padres players. Two, sometimes three, men will enter, but only one survives. Johnny has a hot take he is already regretting.    Twitter: @dadstalkingdads Gmail: dadstalkingdads@gmail.com

Johnny and Tony are on this week, Joel had a scheduling conflict but should be on next week's episode Johnny makes a final decision on his pronunciation of "Urias", and both guys lament his injury We look at the recent underwhelming list of call ups (Come on, no Quantrill?) Tony and Johnny discuss some different aspects of Eric Hosmer and his future on the team We improve your life (yet again) with recommendations   Twitter: @dadstalkingdads Email: dadstalkingdads@gmail.com

Note: Baseball talk does not start until about the 19:00 mark.  The hot talent magma is reaching the surface and becoming lava, Luis Urias (ERR-ee-us? err-EE-us? oo-REE-us? OO-ree-us?) made his big league debut! We share what we're excited about now that Urias is on the team. Johnny offers another unnecessary nickname.

Joel is back this week with Johnny, but Tony is gone this week. There is, however, a guest appearance from one of Joel's animals.  We look at some recent injuries in both the majors and minors. We admit that we will never get Ryan Weathers' name right. Luis Patino is intriguing. Cal Quantrill is progressing. We look at who we are each rooting to succeed the most, and how many players it would take to make the team a real contender.

Johnny went to an Arizona League game, with a cameo appearance from a haboob. Tony looks at how Wil Myers is performing at the hot corner. We talk about the value of Travis Dankowski, and a new change to Hunter Renfroe's approach at the plate.  We make life changing recommendations and encourage you to live your best life.   Email: dadstalkingdads@gmail.com Twitter: @dadstalkingdads

The trade dealine has passed, expect more trades to come? Wil Myers: 3B of the future? Some players are playing well, others are not.  These are truly the dog days of summer.

Johnny talks about the trade deadline moves (or lack thereof) Trevor Hoffman is a Hall of Famer!!!

Joel and Johnny took a week off for the All Star Break, but they are back to discuss more things San Diego Padres. The Padres made a big trade!  Joel and Johnny say goodbye to Brad Hand and Adam Cimber, and hellooooo to Francisco Mejia The Padres will (likely) find out what brown can do for them in 2020

Joel and Johnny are back for another week of Padres talk! We give out midseason awards and introduce a new nickname! Send us an email at dadstalkingdads@gmail.com or message us on Twitter @dadstalkingdads

Joel and Johnny fret over the delay in signing 2018 1st round pick Ryan Weathers (Good news, he signed today rendering this entire discussion moot!) They also look at possible All-Star Selections Johnny tells you to lower your sights The boys share some great dad stories

**I (Johnny) forgot to mention it on the podcast, but apologies with last week's episode. I i initially forgot to add in the Down on the Farm music, but after I did it threw off the timing of the rest of the podcast somehow (even though I thought I had it fixed). I am going to fix it when I have some time this week.**   Joel is out of town this week visiting family for Father's Day so Johnny is flying solo   It's a bit of a shorter episode this week, Johnny answers the discussion question, we'll get Joel's reactions next week

Joel and Johnny are back for another week of Dads Talking Dads   Welcome, Phil Hughes!   Christian Villanueva: Kicking ass and taking names   We take a look at the farm system (feat. Banjos) and some names to keep an eye on for the MLB draft this weekend   Hit us up on Twitter @DadsTalkingDads or send us an email at dadstalkingdads@gmail.com with any comments or suggestions.   Musical Credit: Good Times by Podington Bear

We review some of the past week's news: Kaz Makita sent down (he's already back up) Bryan Mitchell has been banished (to the pen) We are really bad (it's okay) We take a look at some of the top prospects in this year's draft since it's more fun than talking about the no-hitter   I screwed up editing so there's a long pause between the intro and the intro music. I would go back and change it, but...   Musical Credit: Podington Bear - Good Times

Joel and I review the past week of action including Wil Myers going back on the DL, how awesome Kaz Makita is, and how not awesome Bryan Mitchell has been. We also ask the real Christian Villanueva to stand up, and offer life-enriching recommendations.   Musical Credit: Podington Bear - Good Times
