Let’s face it the San Diego Padres should be much better than they are. The Padres are 27-32 and 13-17 at home. You have a team that is stacked offensively selling out most of your home games and you’re under .500 at home. That’s pathetic. The Padres played a four-game series with the Cubs this past weekend. They lose on Friday, win Saturday 8-0, then lose again on Sunday 7-1. There is zero excuse for them to be this inconsistent on a daily basis. Someone needs to get to them and it sure isn’t the borefest of a manager in Bob Melvin.
Juan Soto spoke after Sunday’s game and said this.
The Padres Have A Disconnect
The is what it is attitude is for bad teams. Not teams built to win a World Series now. The Padres finished the month of April 15-12, May 10-16, and have started the month of June at 2-2. Not the best time to have the well I got my money now I can coast. That’s not how it works and not only is on the players to perform but the coaches to lift them up. Provide the spark.
Soto was then asked about the inconsistent of the offense. This was his response
Who is he talking about? The coaches? Manager? The front office? I guarantee it’s the manager and some of his coaches.
The Padres have zero spark from Melvin. The guy brings nothing I’m not really sure what he does I don’t see him engage with players during the games in the dugout. Only when someone scores or hits a home run. Other than that he’s just a complete bore. In one run games this season the Padres are 3-11. You have Tatis, Macahdo, Soto, Bogaerts, and you’re 3-11 in one run games. There is no excuse for that with that amount of talent in the lineup. That is on the manager not getting the most out of his players, and on the players by not executing and giving up in game.
Boring Melvin had this to say after Machado’s first game back from the injured list and he went 0-4.
Not sure when Melvin is going to take accountability for the stacked team he has and they aren’t producing. I still say this is Melvin’s last season.
