This week TKF hosted the first ever Golden Age of Padres Podcasts Opening Day Afterparty at Bay City Brewing and it was a great night! On this episode the guys are joined by John Gennaro from MTPGA who tells some amazing Lil Silz stories, and drops some info on the state of local radio. Also […]
You know the names: Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Urias, MacKenzie Gore, Michel Baez, Joey Lucchesi, Adrian Morejon, Cal Quantrill, Eric Lauer, Anderson Espinoza.

Spring Training is a little more than halfway over and soon the brutally dark reality of the Padres’ 2018 regular season will descend upon us like a fever dream. The spring, with all its clichéd promises of hope and renewal, really has offered Padre fans a small glimpse of what could be a bright future. […]
