Summary
The Padres offense has been a wild ride this season—slow start, explosive middle, then a brutal nosedive—yet manager Craig Stammen remains confident in hitting coach Steven Souza Jr. and the program’s direction. Despite a horrific 35-game stretch where they hit below .200, the team showed flashes of brilliance earlier in April and is now trending upward, hitting harder and showing signs of life. Though key players like Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill have struggled, Souza believes the team is finally turning the corner, with Fernando Tatis Jr. leading the charge and the coaching staff’s faith unwavering. Hitting is tough, but Stammen’s conviction is that consistency is coming. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
