San Diego Padres Performance: Postseason Analysis & Updates

And recent forum, listen to Padres, number one in major league baseball against right-handed pitching over the last couple of weeks, Miami member, how good they were a month ago. Remember the conversations we were having just before the all-star break. And then they had just, they swept Seattle and then the guardians came in without Ramirez and beat them three straight and they haven't won a game ever since Miami 28 against right-handed pitching over the last couple of weeks, they're going to have to figure out how to get some offense going, but that's a heck of a turnaround. I mean, number one against righties over the last couple of weeks, you start getting Machado and you start getting, you know, some of these guys in that lineup starting to swing it, you know, should we stick a fork in the Padres just yet here, Tom, what do you think? I think so. I really do. I was low on the Padres coming into this year, granted, I, as I've said before, I was high on the giants and that didn't turn out too well, but I was low on the Padres. I just don't like where they, I didn't like where they sat in terms of the dynamic of the NL overall, I think they're, they're too far behind and there's enough competent teams in front of them. Are the Nats going to stay fully intact? Probably not. Do we expect the, the Marlins to continue to struggle like this? No, ultimately not, but the Pirates, the Cardinals and the Diamondbacks are all confident enough that they can just keep them at arms bay and the Padres would have to do too much to overcome all of these teams and make it into the postseason. I think they can be better to close the year, but I just don't think that they've done enough or will do enough to get over the hump.
