About this episode

The hosts discuss the Padres' recent performance and what it indicates for their future.

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor catch up after the Padres drop their first series out of the break to the Royals. As they soldier on their long road trip to start the proverbial second half, what does the evidence the Padres are presenting in their play (or lack thereof) say about their future?
