Before the season began, not many folks had high hopes for the San Diego Padres. Even after the team brought in Eric Hosmer, there were still a ton of question marks. After an awful start and a litany of injuries, the Friars have come together and seem to be making quite the dent in the baseball world.
Will they compete for a divisional title or even a wild-card berth this season? Probably not. But This run that the team has been on must be doing wonders for this young team’s psyche. Going 24-20 since May 1 has instilled a self-confidence in this team.
