Team's recent struggles stem from not getting big hits or hits in big situations
And for however bad it looks like on the field — thehave lost 12 of their past 20 games and have won more than two in a row only once since June — there is a different level of confidence that this too shall pass and the team will get righted.
“A lot of last year was due to not being healthy from a pitching standpoint,” Wil Myers said of the Padres’ fall from 17 games over .500 on Aug. 10 to four games under by season’s end. “I don’t necessarily know that are very comparable.” “We’ve got a lot of great players,” Jake Cronenworth said Wednesday. “And it just seems like right now all the great players we have just aren’t being themselves.”
They have hit seven home runs in their past 11 games and 13 homers in their past 19 games. At the same time, they are batting .146 with runners in scoring position over their past 11 games and .222 in the past 19. In the just-completed six-game homestand, they hit four homers and went 4-for-38 with runners in scoring position.
“We all need to take a look in the mirror and find ways to get this thing done and find ways to go out there and win and, honestly, just find a way to hit with runners in scoring position,” Myers said. “That’s just what it is. We’ve got to find a way to drive those runs in. Whether it’s trying to do too much, I don’t know.”
