Ian Kinsler, who was part of building a two-time World Series participant in Texas and was on a playoff team in Detroit and rode in a championship parade in Boston, states it as fact.
The Padres will make a run at the postseason.
“We’re going to do it,” Kinsler said emphatically on Friday afternoon. “It’s a matter of what level. Come September, we’re going to be in that situation, for sure. It’s a matter of what level we take it to. And no one knows.”
What we do know is that, as the second half of the season dawns, the Padres are in the thick of the National League wild card race.
