Sammy Levitt joins the show! What's it like having a front row seat to all these walk off wins? Late game heroics fueled the Padres' hot streak. But Arizona slowed them down over the weekend. Mike Shildt doesn't think the bullpen is a problem, but the numbers suggest otherwise. Is that the biggest need at the Trade Deadline? Five All-Stars! The entire outfield!

The Padres might be separating themselves in the NL Wild Card race. That should impact their plans for the upcoming Trade Deadline. Will there be prospect huggin' or prospect dealin'? Seems like a good time to catch up with our good friend John Conniff from MadFriars. He discusses the familiar deadline dilemma - who could be part of a deal, and who should be off limits? Salas, Snelling and Lesko are having down seasons - what's the story there, and who has stood out? Plus, John had a debt to pay thanks to Jackson Merrill. Jurickson Profar is an All-Star starter. And James Wood has arrived.

The Padres came home and wet on a tear. Jurickson Profar is playing like an All-Star starter. Manny is looking Manny-esque. Kyle Higashioka is hitting bombs left and right. Mike Shildt's club continues to show some scrap and it's winning them games. So will this key stretch turn out to be a turning point? The guys discuss that, and what we make of injury updates on Fernando Tatis Jr., Xander Bogaerts and others.
