It's hard to tell who this year's Padres truly are based on an up and down start. Hopefully Wednesday offered a preview of things to come. Derek and Darnay discuss their first series win over the Cubs, and the challenge ahead at Dodger Stadium. Jurickson and Jake are raking. Ha-Seong Kim has had some surprising missteps. Is Manny heating up? Should Shildt mess with the lineup? Any concerns after rough starts from Yu and Joe?
