Padres Hot Tub – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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.
