Hosted by Padres broadcaster Jesse Agler, "The Bloggers Take Over" segments will occur in the fifth and sixth innings of Friday's 7:00 PM PST Padres at Mariners telecast and will facilitate discussion from the fans' perspective on topics relating to the team's upcoming season.

"We received a great response from last year's event and are looking forward to welcoming the Padres bloggers back to our broadcast again this year," said Jeff Byle, Executive Producer, FOX Sports San Diego. "The blogging community is growing and together they represent some of our most loyal viewers. Creating a unique forum for this voice to be heard is exciting to us."
