Lots of fair points here. I don’t think the article gives as much credit to our bullpen / closing as they deserve, but hits the nail on the head with our starters. With that being said, I hope Musgrove and Darvish will bounce back.
We are scoring runs every game (with the exception of the last one) and the approach, which is not talked about in the article, is noticeably different. I, for one, no longer panic when I see that the scoreboard isn’t in our favor in the middle innings.
I think health is something important for this team. If no one goes on the IL for an extended period, I like our chances
Darvish out laaammeee
I was excited to read this article when I saw it released, then I read it and was like… How is this showing we are pretty good? It starts out talking about the great record then proceeds to pick us apart and trash every aspect of the roster… I thought finally someone noticed this team looks good this year and it turned out to be another unnecessary hit job. Weak

From Sammy Levitt quoting this article on Twitter: [“Dating back to August 31, 2023, the Padres have the best record in baseball. They have the second-highest run differential in that time.”](https://x.com/sammylev/status/1781038860539171161?s=46&t=CrtVRvY0yg9yvSaHifgWcA)
