Offensive Slump Continues, More Changes Coming to Rotation

Offensive Slump Continues, More Changes Coming to Rotation

Author: NBC 7 San Diego May 15, 2026 Duration: 51:45

If not for a couple game changing swings from Nick Castellanos and Gavin Sheets the Padres would really be having a lousy week. They went out with a whimper Thursday in Milwaukee, in a game that saw Griffin Canning get shelled. Matt Waldron is headed to the bullpen, with Lucas Giolito on his way. The guys discuss the evolving rotation, and the struggling lineup. What's going wrong? And does anyone have any clue how to fix it? Plus - postgame coverage of M's-Padres is coming Sunday night on NBC 7!
