Make The Padres Great Again

Craig and John are back with a special Memorial Day episode of Padres Hot Tub! This time, the guys talk about the series against the Pirates, losing to the Cardinals, worries about the offense, and wonder aloud why Austin Nola is blocking Luis Campusano before playing a fun parlor game.

John is solo for this episode of Group Therapy, but joined by a handful of PHT patreons to discuss the San Diego Padres and only the San Diego Padres. Almost all of the questions and answers centered around Bob Melvin and the good vibes surrounding the team.

After another pitcher's duel at Petco Park, this one leading to a 2-1 win for the Milwaukee Brewers to take the series over the San Diego Padres, John and Craig jump on Discord and discuss the game before giving way to a conversation about life and gun laws.

Craig and John talk their way through the magic surrounding the 2022 San Diego Padres following a 7-2 road trip. The strengths of the team, the weaknesses, and their confidence that some key players will turn it around.

After the Padres took a 2-0 lead in their series in San Francisco against the Giants, John jumps on the Discord server to talk about the game and ends up joyfully discussing the ways this team wins games and how adding Fernando Tatis Jr. to the lineup makes it very unlike the 2010 Padres.

Craig and John talk to their patrons on Group Therapy about if the Padres should be making a trade, how they would do so, and who they would be targeting.

After a series win over the Braves, one that felt big and important, Craig and John talk about the Padres' starting pitching depth, the suddenly feisty offense, and how to fix the bullpen.

After yet another late-inning comeback win for the San Diego Padres, this one giving them the series win in Atlanta against the Braves, John Gennaro fires up the Discord Post Game Show and talks with Padres fans about the short-term future of the team.

There's no way around this one, Steven Wilson and the San Diego Padres gave away a very winnable game to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday afternoon. What can be done to fix the bullpen? The guys have some ideas.

John starts off Group Therapy, joined later by Craig, and much of the conversation is around new Padres addition Robinson Canó (and what the team should be doing with C.J. Abrams in El Paso).

John is very optimistic following a 7-5 Padres loss to the Cubs. Why? You'll have to listen to find out.

Craig and John are back together to talk about the San Diego Padres, who have lost what little offense they seemingly have. The guys try and stay positive while watching the team lose 6-0 to the Cubs, and they lay out some plans for the team going forward.

After the Padres got the asses kicked by the Miami Marlins, John jumps on the Discord and chats with some patrons for a while about the Padres' offensive woes.

With Craig out of town, John is joined by HJ Preller to discuss all of the good and bad things going on with the San Diego Padres currently.

After a back-and-forth extra-inning loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, John Gennaro jumps on Discord with a few other fans of the San Diego Padres to talk through the game.

Craig (who was running a few minutes late) and John discuss the 14-7 San Diego Padres and dive into what the fast start means, if anything, and what the team can expect from some of the early surprises going forward.

After another great start from MacKenzie Gore, the Padres go on to beat the Reds 8-5 and John uses the post game to talk about (what else?) Jurickson Profar and Eric Hosmer.

Craig and John talk about the Padres after the Dodgers series, including wondering what can be done to turn around the offense, if this team has 2010 like magic in them, and if there are any trades that the team could make to fill out its roster right now.

After an improbable turnaround from Yu Darvish and Jake Cronenworth, the San Diego Padres ended up winning the second game of their home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers and John Gennaro talked about it with the Padres Hot Tub patrons.

John returns from Petco Park and talks about the first game of the Padres' series against the Dodgers, where they were clearly outmatched and now need to figure out how to not get swept.
