## Resource

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor gather on the morning of Cinco de Mayo as the Padres dropped another game last night, this time to the Giants to cap a 2-6 run in their last 8 games. Many things are to blame, but the trio drill down on the Padres not-so-great relationship with base on balls. Want to get this show and tons of others early and ad-free?
