Padres closer Mason Miller talks Star Wars & being an inspiration

Was this Matt Waldron's last start for the Padres?

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discussed Lucas Giolito's impending arrival to the Padres rotation and what decisions are ahead.

The two then welcome in Padres closer Mason Miller, who details how he became involved in filming an epic Star Wars commercial for the upcoming "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu" movie.

Mason discussed how he got involved, how many takes it took, why it was almost canceled when Grogu was late and did he just call Marty and Darren Stars Wars nerds??

Mason also discussed his recent sponsorship with Dexcom, which creates glucose monitoring devices for people living with diabetes, and why it's so important for him to be a role model to children living with diabetes. Mason broke down the many challenges that kids and parents of kids with diabetes face, and what he most wants them to know.

Is the hotel the Padres stay at in Milwaukee haunted? Mason discusses if he has superstitions, why he wore the same pair of socks during his consecutive scoreless innings streak, ABS challenges and how often he pays attention to how hard he's throwing.

Marty and Darren then discuss a tough stretch ahead for the Padres and Nick Castellanos' increasing importance.
