Are they not giving these guys what they need? I would love to see Soto hire his own batting coach to get him back on track. I also agree with others that this is probably mental.

I’ve had a similar view. The whole team has suddenly forgotten how to hit. They may need to find a new hitting coach.

Padres and White Sox seem to have caught the same bug .

I can’t remember a baseball total being this high but usually dont follow totals closely. Today SF/SD in Mexico is at 15.5 bodes good for Soto/slumping PADs

It's like the Reds park at 40% higher altitude than Coors.

Breaking pitches won't be as good. Fly balls will travel farther. But grounders and strikeouts pretty much the same.

Does the lineup just have to much star power and way to much ego?
That could always be a thing.

Haven’t seen much star power from this team in a while, too many captains on one ship could definitely be a possibility but maybe the padres fans could chip in.

Id think at one game under .500 with those batting stats and the pitching being just ok so far might mean good news for Padre fans this year in the grand scheme of things.
I just don't think the Dodgers are that special this year at all.

Juiced balls? Reminds me of the first Field of Dreams game.
