It was not the first half any of us expected, but the Padres provided reason for hope before shutting it down for a few days. A 5-1 homestand, capped by a decisive win over the Mets. Manny has heated up, Musgrove and Snell are dealing, and suddenly there are fewer teams between the Friars and a Wild Card spot. Derek and Darnay discuss where the team is, what's ahead, and give predictions for the 10-game road trip that starts the second half - as well as what this year's trade deadline might look like.
