The Padres have lost at least 90 games for the third consecutive season as part of their latest rebuilding plan. If losing is a metric for success (you can only succeed in modern baseball by failing miserable), then the Padres have been one of the most successful teams in professional sports this century, with seven 90+-loss seasons since 2000. That might make them the front office World Champions, but in the meantime, practically, visually, it has made them a very lousy baseball team to watch.
Thankfully, they’ll be matched up against an equally lousy team.
