Padres hitters once again failed to show up. Randy Johnson is a future Hall of Famer, but he’s at the end of his career and is not the pitcher he once was. PetCo Park in April is a difficult place to hit, but this is getting ridiculous. 2.62 runs per game at home is incredible. I am convinced that the Padres are not this bad offensively. True talent level notwithstanding, they have performed this badly through 13 games.
Last season the Padres averaged 3.99 runs per game at home. They averaged 3.69 through their first 13 home games and 4.04 through their remaining home games. This gives some additional reason to expect improvement, but to match last year’s output they’ll need to average 4.25 runs per home game. That is unlikely at best.
This could be a long year for Padre fans if something doesn’t change significantly.
