Show notes

Craig Elsten and Raphie Cantor (with a late appearance from Chris Reed) are joined by Padres Hot Tub patrons to vent and commiserate after a truly dispiriting 4-3 loss to the lowly Royals, dropping San Diego into fourth place, eight games out of first and four games under .500.

For Sale, Baserunners, Never Scored May 16, 2023

Show notes

The Padres are swept out of Los Angeles to round out a miserable stretch of offense which sees the team setting a historically awful mark for hitting with RISP. How do we fix this team? Plus, a quarter-season PHT concern-o-meter.
