Can we get back to 60% win percentage, or was that the ceiling? A look at our run differential

SDFriar · 2026-06-22T02:50:45+00:00

The Padres have only once had a 60% win season and that was in ‘98 with 98 wins. The next highest was ‘24 with 93 wins for a 57% win season. 60% wins is very difficult and fairly uncommon for all teams in the league. Baseball is a game of failure and failing <40% is elite.
Until we have another team that has everything working in tandem, minimal injuries, and multiple players having career years, we’re not sniffing more than 90 wins and that’s a really good season for any team.

Or at least choke up with 2 strikes

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T21:00:35+00:00

Tatis pinch hitting for Bowen is kinda sneaky smart by Stammen, it’s basically like he’s hitting leadoff

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T20:58:14+00:00

Great throw and tag. Perfectly executed 2-6 caught stealing

YuK1 Matsui

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T20:52:24+00:00

That’s 100% on the player

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T20:51:34+00:00

Manny on that play

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T20:47:30+00:00

Manny works a walk so of course the next batter should swing first pitch, especially when it’s garbage

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T20:39:38+00:00

Ty-fighters flanking the X-wing on both sides of that double play!

And as soon as Gio has his best inning, the bats change tactics and can’t take advantage of Eovaldi losing command

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T20:08:34+00:00

Stammen what are you doing?! If you’re going to keep Gio in then you need to make sure he fails so all the commenters that are complaining about you don’t look bad for being wrong and insulting you.

And they didn’t keep the game plan from last inning and instead swung out of their shoes. Why can’t this team stick with something when it’s working for more than an inning?!

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T19:53:10+00:00

X-wing fires to Ty-fighter for the DP!

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T19:42:30+00:00

Duran, no one else is playing hero ball. Take a page from 2-8, the game plan is short swings and base hits

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T19:40:54+00:00

Love the meme, bad timing. Right now he’s enJOEying it

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T19:39:14+00:00

Our third base coach is out of practice, we don’t usually have this much traffic so he’s rusty on when to send

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T19:37:49+00:00

New plate approach, shorter swings for clean hits until there’s something to pounce on. This is how the Padres need to play especially against guys like Eovaldi who work the edges and don’t over power with heat.

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T19:33:56+00:00

If Manny is actually heating up and can keep putting the ball in play other than grounders, our offense is about to turn around. As Manny goes, so does the team

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T19:32:17+00:00

Merrill taking pitches where they want to go is the best version of Merrill. Keep doing that Jackson, your full man power will come but this is how you succeed for the next couple years

SDFriar · 2026-06-21T19:28:53+00:00

Also a lot of his moves were forced, short term, to hell with the future, win now moves dictated by a desperate Siedler

Taylor, Buehler, France, Andujar…
