Gotta say…feeling very optimistic about the ball we’re playing.
The consistency in our bats, our gloves, and our bullpen.
The slugfests, and the small ball when we need it.
The glorious management (and bullpen management) by Mike Shildt.
The new faces on the team, with Cease and Merrill as standouts.
Tatis playing All-Star and NL MVP baseball already.
And the team chemistry, these boys are fun as hell to watch play.
It’s all coming together in those beautiful stats you see pictured. Look at us!
How about you: what do y’all think is happening?

FUCK THE DODGERS! THE 2024 SUICIDE SQUAD PADRES TAKING IT ALL! GO PADRES!
I think they’re playing great but it’s still soooo early.
I will say; I like *how* they’re winning, compared to last year. It’s not 12-2 wins followed up by 2-0 losses. Seems like they’re hitting a lot more balls into play rather than going for the homer every time.
If they keep that style up we won’t be so dependent on somebody getting hot to carry us (Manny).

The boys also seem very confident out there. Jurickson today talking his shit and not getting tossed; Merrill stealing that base earlier. Etc etc. Overall a great mix of spirit, hustle, discipline, and heads-down-playing-good-baseball.
We’re giving up a ton of runs right now. So fun to see winning though. Crazy that we couldn’t do this with a future HOFer and the year’s Cy Young winner.
^Thats ^whats ^in
2 games over .500 vibes
I’m enjoying the ride. Way too early to celebrate though
Don’t be this guy OP. Just enjoy it, be classy. Yes it is fun, Brewers were just 10 – 3, now they are 10 – 6. Season is 162 games, every game does matter. Right now we are hot, 10 days ago this sub was 50/50 on whether this was the same team as last year….and yes, I know, not one Dodger player is in r/Padres reading the posts, karma is real though.
I love the offense and I love our bullpen! My concern will be our starter pitchers because the early runs allow. It’s early but I’m happy the start they have.
May is gonna be an interesting month with Dodgers and Yankees. June should be where we should get a good winning streak going
This team feels like the chemistry is definitely there, but can we remain healthy and consistent. At this pace we’ll be set but it is too early
Vibes are good right now. Love the way we’re playing and it’s so evident that Schildt is 10x the manager that Melvin is. We just don’t have a ton of depth. If more key players go down it could be a struggle.
After what happened in 21, I just want to enjoy this ride and not get too cocky
Please don’t jinx the season already..the boys are finally playing Team ball..play one game at a time.
The comebacks and not blowing leads have been great… but still so early.
What an awesome time it has been so far.
I love my 2024 Pads.
Calm down brother…we were in a similar position last year.
I’m having fun right now, let’s keep it that way for a while, and let’s worry about our team for now
I didn’t think Melvin deserved the heat he got but after Shildt wow it’s totally different ball club despite most of the same core. Their at bats are patient and not every single hitter is trying to swing for a HR. They are running 1st to 3rd, stealing and causing urgency and errors on the other team. It took forever for Melvin to open up the base paths. It really changed my mind with how much better Shildty is.
I am doubtful we can overtake the Dodgers in the regular season but if we are in the dance, I do think we can do some damage.
What does % and GB mean? (Sorry new fan here)
Colorado is just hanging out like I’m glad to be alive.
