On today’s episode of Bleav in San Diego Baseball, Alex Miniak — the Voice of Petco Park — and three-time All-Star Heath Bell return to the mic to process the Padres’ early postseason exit and dive headfirst into October baseball.

The show opens with some humor and honesty as Alex and Heath compare their “stages of grief” following San Diego’s playoff elimination, before shifting gears to break down the Division Series matchups across MLB. They touch on everything from Jackson Chourio’s historic start for the Brewers to Blake Snell’s vintage dominance with the Dodgers and Toronto’s offensive outburst against the Yankees.

Then, the duo reflects on the Padres’ 2025 campaign, celebrating the moments that defined it — from a 15–4 start and Manny Machado’s milestone 2,000th hit to Fernando Tatis Jr.’s jaw-dropping home run robberies and Mason Miller’s immaculate inning. The guys close by picking their favorite highlights of the season while throwing support behind a couple of the Postseason’s remaining contenders.
