Getting to .500 is Lava! Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor are live and unwilling witnesses to a brutal Padres loss in San Francisco in which the remnants of the bullpen blew what was once a 4-0 lead as the Padres dropped the opener to the surging Giants. And yet -- the team just smashed its home sellout record and is playing compelling baseball for seemingly the first time all year. They just won a series against the best team in baseball in the Rays. Has a corner been turned?
