The Padres have played 81 of their 162 games. So, how are they doing so far?
Saturday's 6-4 win over the Brewers at Petco Park was the Padres ' 81st game of the season, the mathematical halfway point of the season. At 41-40 they're sitting on the right side of .500, if only by the slimmest of margins. When you take into account all the things that have been thrown at this club it's probably safe to say San Diego has to be happy with where they sit at the midway point.
That is one of the big points at play here. While every team looks different every year the Padres revamped 60% of their starting pitching rotation and most of their bullpen.
The other thing that suggests the Padres are going to keep trending up is the health of the roster. San Diego has been hit hard by that pesky injury bug. Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove have been on the Injured List twice. Bogaerts is there now. Manny Machado has been hampered all season by elbow and hip issues. Profar is dealing with a sore knee. Right when it looks like Fernando Tatis Jr. is about to take off on a hot streak he suffers a quad injury or a triceps contusion. All of those guys are All-Stars. The hope is they all come back healthy and this club hits yet another gear.
