Padres have been up and down all season, even if it doesn't qualify as a 'rollercoaster'
Good morning from my layover, The Padres, for just the second time this season, had a chance yesterday to move to three games above .500. They did not. Not even close. Instead, they played one of their worst games of the season, lost 9-1 to the Marlins and perhaps lost one of their top starting pitchers for a time. You can read in my game story about how poorly the Padres performed as they missed an opportunity to earn their first series sweep of 2024.
You ride the highs, and you ride the lows just as much as you ride the highs. But the roller coaster hasn't been so bumpy. It's been riding pretty pretty smoothly so far. There's been a little bit of up, a little bit of down. But it's been riding pretty consistent.” So far, 2024 has seemed more like watching a dog chase its tail than a thrill ride.
