Craig Elsten and Chris Reed are joined by fellow Padres Hot Tub patrons on the PHT Post Game Show stage after a 7-0 win over the Red Sox on Sunday, salvaging a game from the weekend series. Is Rougned Odor's bases-clearing double the foothold the Padres can use to stop their slide? The guys talk through the result, and the community hanging tough through a very rough patch of Padres baseball.

On this very special episode of Pads Above Replacement, Raphie and John launch a new series called "Summer School" to break down baseball's most important stats. First up is the perhaps the most important stat in the sabermetric era -- Wins Above Replacement (WAR). What is it good for? Absolutely everything!

Craig Elsten and Raphie Cantor (with a late appearance from Chris Reed) are joined by Padres Hot Tub patrons to vent and commiserate after a truly dispiriting 4-3 loss to the lowly Royals, dropping San Diego into fourth place, eight games out of first and four games under .500.

The Padres are swept out of Los Angeles to round out a miserable stretch of offense which sees the team setting a historically awful mark for hitting with RISP. How do we fix this team? Plus, a quarter-season PHT concern-o-meter.
