Craig Elsten and Raphie Cantor (Chris Reed sends his best) chat after the Padres took 3 of 4 from the Brewers at home, narrowly missing out on a 4-game sweep and their first 5-game win streak of the season. But you know the drill–the Padres were 41-40 going into Sunday's game, they couldn't get too far above .500, now could they? We talk Brewers, the Nats upcoming lefty-heavy rotation, Shildt's Jomboy mishap, and a fun game of trivia on Certified Padre Killers.

Craig Elsten and Chris Reed (sans Raphie, who had a family obligation) gather with PHT patrons on the Padres Hot Tub Group Therapy discord stage for an hour-long call-in show, discussing why the Padres keep losing, why they may continue to lose for a little while, but how the season's goals are still within reach. 

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor gather on the Sunday after the Storm split a series with the Stockton Ports, each team taking three games a piece. But questions remain - Will .500 be good enough for a Cal League playoff spot? Does Leo De Vries want it enough? Are Wyatt Hoffman and Nick Vogt actually BETTER than we think? And why did Rosman Verdugo steal from the working people of Temecula Valley? It's a scorcher of an episode, tune in!

It happened! The Padres became the final MLB team in 2024 to achieve a series sweep, doing so with back-to-back walkoff wins, this time with Jackson Merrill playing the role of hero. But massive series performances from Donovan Solano, Fernando Tatis Jr., Robert Suarez, and more helped the carry the team over the line. Questions remain as the team looks ahead to New York and Philadelphia - what of Jurickson Profar's knee? Offense against left-handed pitching? Some excited patrons joined us to discuss!

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, Raphie Cantor, and special guest/huge patron Austin F convene on the night after the Padres split a home 4-game series against Arizona, only one of which was a competitive game. The Padres offense exploded on Friday and Saturday, and the Dbacks returned the favor Sunday. And when the dust settled - yes, the Padres were still in a wild card spot, but they're also precariously close to 13th place in the NL. What to make of this team? Let's discuss!
