Based on a Tweet by Buster Olney, the Padres actually have competition to break the team strikeout record. 3 teams are on pace to break the record, that was set way back in...2017, by the Brewers. The Padres are still number 1 in K's, but are being closely followed by the Phillies and Orioles.

How many Ks tonight when they were NO-FREAKIN HIT? 13 more strikeouts. They can't hit velocity, even Green admitted to that tonight. And no hit by four or five pitchers, no less😮😮😮And the Dodgers pitchers all threw in the mid 90s. How many pitchers do the Padres have that do that? "Red hot molten lava" really embarrassing!!

It's also interesting to note that the Padres have two players on the 10-day DL due to injuries they suffered while striking out. Unbelievable.

The Padres got no hit by one of the biggest market, biggest payroll teams in the league. Who could have seen that one coming?

The surprise is it wasn't the Giants, who had the last 3 no-no's against the Padres. It was also a surprise that it wasn't Kershaw.

But with four pitchers, come on now😮😮 Better scouting, better coaching, and more money to sign players. No surprise, even with four pitchers. The Padres are a joke, and the Dodgers are legit contenders. No surprise at all. Yeah, a little surprising that it wasn't Kershaw, but we can look forward to that possibility as the season goes on...

While I have very few arguments with much of this. How does it explain Houston's amazing rise?

How does it explain Houston's amazing rise? The same as I would Kansas City's. It's a temporary blip that lasts 2-3 years. Any small/mid market team can stumble onto a great line-up. ALL of them should, eventually. My whole contention is that for fans of teams like the Royals, Padres, Brewers, etc, they have to sit through 6, 7, even 8 or more years of GARBAGE baseball to finally get to a couple good seasons before the league setup hits the reset button and they suck for another 6,7,8 years. The major market, big money teams don't have to go through 6-8 years of horrible baseball to finally get a contender. They have winning records almost every year. They're legit contenders half the time. So, yeah, Houston's having their moment now. But it won't last more than a couple more years before they crash back to earth. Look at Kansas City. Look at Tampa Bay (the Rays are one of those teams that people pointed to as a small market team that had consistent success, but it didn't really last in the same way that the Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox success has lasted). The small/mid market teams that achieve success only do so for a relatively short time.

I'm just saying that after 1700 plus games since the 1969 season you would think that a no hotter would have happened just like a blind squirrel finding a nut.

Using your own argument, they should continue to be successful. Unless you want to change your argument.
