Merrill Madness Strikes Again! (LIVE PHT 8-25-24)

It's Chris and Raphie talking with a veritable gaggle of our patrons after Dylan Cease shut out the Astros, capping off a playoff-like series in which the Padres won 2 of 3, losing only a bizarre 10 inning contest in which the umpires played more of a deciding role than either team. Let's talk about it!Want to join post game shows like these? Become a patron! patreon.com/padreshottub - $5/month gets you in the door, with perks going up from there! 

Craig Elsten is joined by dozens of Padres Hot Tub patrons on the Post Game Show stage inside the PHT Discord to discuss a 4-3 win in 10 innings over the San Francisco Giants, a three-game sweep in SF, taking the season series from the Giants, and solidifying the club's Wild Card position while sneaking up on the Dodgers from behind!

Raphie holds the fort as Chris camps and Craig PAs at Snapdragon. The Padres lost 2 of 3 to the Giants with an incomplete comeback fizzling in a 7-6 loss. A ball lost in the sun in the 4th inning implodes Joe Musgrove as the Padres head into the final three weeks of the season just two games ahead of the Mets and Braves in the WC chase.Want to join post game shows like this and support the show?

Craig and Chris mourn the loss of a win while trying to retain perspective of where the Padres are in the playoff race. PHT Patrons air their frustrations and everyone feels a bit better. And that's our time.

Craig Elsten and Chris Reed are joined by dozens of PHT patrons live after yet another dramatic walkoff win for the San Diego Padres. Down 2-0 in the 8th and in danger of losing 3-of-4, the Padres came off the deck with Jurickson Profar's two-run HR, then saw Jackson Merrill walk it off against Edwin Diaz in the 9th. It was a 4-3 week but vibes are very high. 

Ugh. The Rockies beat the Padres today, taking a game and series from the Pads. But! All is not lost. The Pads are still 15-over .500 and gained a game on the Dbacks over the weekend as Craig, Chris, and Raphie converged to talk about it all! Become a patron for as low as $5/mo to get the show ad-free, early, access to the PHT discord, and more! patreon.com/padreshottub

Craig Elsten and Chris Reed (no Raphie this week) get together on Sunday evening to review a wildly entertaining and successful road trip which saw San Diego take the first five games, four in dramatic comeback fashion, before seeing yet-another comeback fall a foot short on Sunday. What can the Padres expect from Joe Musgrove's return, and when do we roll out the statue contract for Jackson Merrill?
