Padres have done well to not give any thought to their opponent or circumstance over the past few months
The Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, and Brandon Lockridge celebrate after a win against the Astros. On their way to the postseason, a destination that is practically inevitable now, the Padres have a chance to show once again one of the primary ways they altered the course of their 2024 season.
The White Sox do arrive in San Diego possibly playing some of their best baseball, having won three in a row before losing their past two. When they won Saturday and Sunday in Oakland, it was the first time since June that they won consecutive games. On its own, the postseason push should be enough impetus for the Padres to manhandle the worst MLB team seen in the lifetime of some 85 percent of people on earth, a team that has averaged a little more than one win a week and was officially eliminated from contention a little more than a month ago.The Padres did not make the playoffs last year because they could not consistently beat terrible teams until it was too late.
Since being swept by the Angels in early June, the Pades are 30-9 against teams that presently have a losing record.Manager Mike Shildt, the coaching staff and some players had been preaching it, but that sweep was a low point that drove home the need to play every game against every opponent a certain way.
