The Padres Power Vacuum Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor gather after the final homestand of the 2023 season in which the Padres outscored the Cardinals 18-9... and took 2 out of 3. They also snapped their 8 game win streak when they lost their record-tying 12th extra inning game of the season. But most important were Padres CEO Erik Greupner's comments on the radio this past week paired with some new reporting. Could the Padres be in for a bigger change than we've realized?

Craig Elsten and Chris Reed are joined live by Padres Hot Tub patrons on the Post Game Show stage on Discord to discuss a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Colorado, capping a three-game sweep while extending a season-long winning streak to seven games.

The Ticking TV Time Bomb Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor gather in the midst of the Padres winning their 5th consecutive game, this one at home against the Rockies after a sweep in Oakland. But -- what does it matter? The Padres carry less than a 1% chance to make the playoffs, and must effectively win out to have a chance. The hosts talk about Peter Seidler's health news, possible payroll deductions, the lack of a television deal and its downstream effects, Manny Machado's elbow, and more.

All Quiet on the NL West-ern Front Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor convene on a Monday afternoon in which the Padres begin a three-game set in Los Angeles -- only it doesn't matter. The Padres were officially eliminated from NL West title contention on Sunday after a miserable series in Houston. The beat rolls on, but no word from either Peter Seidler or AJ Preller. How long can the silence continue? Plus, they discuss Xander's offensive/defensive paradox, a Ha-Seong Kim extension, and more.
