GROUP THERAPY: Road Warriors

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?

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.

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?
